Hi all! I'm so glad I found this sub, it's exactly what I was hoping for.

I love writing YA. I have even submitted to a publisher! (tl;dr they liked my writing and characters but the story wasn't strong enough. C'est la vie.) I find that I have (what I think are) great ideas and I start well, but somewhere between 7K and 10K I seem to lose steam. I think part of the problem might be that I have no one in my life to bounce ideas off or test scenes on, so I'm hoping someone here might like to be a mutual reading and sounding board partner.

Not a full beta; I'm not looking for grammar or spelling help right now. Just someone I can email “hey what if John did this” or “what if this is the twist” to, or send a quick scene to for a vibe check—and I'd be more than happy to do the exact same for your projects! My current WIP is contemporary YA, but I have other ideas up my sleeve if that's not your genre.

If you think it sounds interesting, please drop a comment and we can DM to talk it over!

Hello! I'm 31 F and I find myself looking for someone new and consistent to write with.

Your character will have to be male no matter what. My character could also be male if you like MxM.

I have 15+ years of roleplaying experience at this point and I'm looking for other literate and detailed people to create this fun, dramatic, sweet and gut-wrenching story with.

I also love talking ooc and making friends since I find myself enjoying the rp so much more if we can talk about it, and just life in general, outside of the roleplay.

Below is some more information about me and what I want from a roleplay partner.

• Please be 24+

• I only write in 3rd person and past tense and would prefer for you to do that as well.

• Please be literate and have good grammar. Mistakes will be made, I'm certainly gonna make them since I'm not a native English speaker, but not knowing the difference between "your" and "you're" isn't acceptable. Punctuation is also important.

• Write like you would do a book.

• No one liners! I love detailed replies but if one paragraph is all you can do, that's okay as long as the content is good. It's always quality over quantity here. Sometimes I'm a multi-para writer and sometimes I only write a few short paragraphs. It all depends on what my roleplay partner do and what's going on in the roleplay.

• You have to have good communication! Let me know if you're not gonna be able to reply or chat as much as usual. Likewise if you're not feeling the rp anymore, tell me and we can fix it, start a new rp or just go our separate ways.

The idea is that both of our main characters would be male. My character's twin sister is arranged to be married to yours but she runs away and my character is dressed up to look like her (wig and dress etc) and gets married to yours instead. And the main plot would be my character trying to keep up appearances and stop your character from finding out that they're actually a man. We could make it so that your character starts to suspect quite soon but goes along with the lie, treating my character as his wife.

Hey my name is Esco! Male, 24, EST time zone.

I love writing and hope to collaborate with eager writers on anything that comes to our minds. Writing to me is a very relaxing hobby, I just love to be creative. Im looking for others who match my energy and are just as enthusiastic as me. I love character development, world-building, lore, etc. I really wish to get immersed in what we are writing about but more importantly to have fun.

We're in the holiday season so our schedules might be wacky but I'll always let you know whenever im super busy. I hope you do to. My styles are a mix of average lit to advanced lit, prose, fiction/original story, third person.

I already have ideas for what we can write together. Some are more time consuming than others.
- Anime/Shonen inspired adventure
- Superhero Universe
- Heist/Crime
- Zombie Apocalypse
- Spy Thriller
- SoL Comedy

If any of these interests you please comment or DM! Thank you!

I'm 41/f looking for another feral lady to write with. I write smutty mafia, dark romance, and monster romance.

I've published 10 novellas, I love writing but doing it alone is boring...

Who wants to break some writing rules with meeee

Hi everyone. I’m writing a comedy series with a protagonist who has ADHD but doesn’t know it. He thinks he’s just lazy and disorganized, and the story treats him that way at first, with subtle clues for readers to catch on a second read. I want to portray it respectfully and accurately, without the “genius superpower” trope. I know these types of diagnosis can't be portrayed with every symptom and that's not the idea, but to show how it is to live with it.

I’m looking for readers ideally with ADHD (diagnosed or self-identified) to read a single chapter and tell me honestly: does his inner voice and the way he gets distracted feel real? Is anything off, cliché, or hurtful? If you don't have it but still want to read it, it's fine too.

I’m not asking you to analyze a diagnosis, just to react as a reader and point out what rings true or false.

I you're interested can share the chapter via Discord. Thank you!

Looking for fellow mystery and psychological thriller writers!

Hey everyone!

I'm looking to make some writer friends, preferably people who enjoy writing psychological thrillers, crime fiction, detective mysteries, suspense and dark psychological fiction.

I particularly enjoy stories involving morally ambiguous characters, complicated murder mysteries, unreliable narrators, psychological manipulation and unpredictable plot twists.

I'm currently working on a psychological thriller called The Perfect Crime, and I'd absolutely love to meet people who are working on similar projects.

I'm looking for more than just critique partners. I'd love to make genuine friendships where we can:

Discuss our ongoing novels and characters.

Exchange ideas and brainstorm plot twists.

Read and critique each other's work.

Discuss books, authors and crime fiction.

Have random conversations about absolutely ridiculous murder-mystery scenarios.

Motivate each other to actually finish our novels!

Experience doesn't matter. Whether you're writing your first short story or have published several novels, I'd love to connect.

If psychological thrillers, mysteries and crime fiction are your thing, feel free to reach out!

Hello! I’ve been struggling on moving forward with a story of mine that I’ve been creating and even have been buying mystery and thriller books from my local bookstore to get inspired! I am 25M, I’ve never had a writing buddy, so I thought I’d shoot my shot. I’d love to have someone who can challenge me to think and write everyday and would appreciate the story and world I’ve been creating. I even have a comic that is about 80% finished with the first chapter as well. I am struggling the most with mystery elements and how to reveal things to the character and reader, and it is a supernatural mystery rather than a real world crime thriller.

This is my first long form story I’ve written in a long time. My story is based on a game me and my friends created and it got a pretty popular audience, but we did not put a lot of effort into the story, because we never expected people to look into it. Well they did! And now I’m creating a world of possibilities. I have art and the core identity made, the main characters, the setting, the theme, I really would just love a writing buddy that can brainstorm with me, give feedback, tell me when stuff doesn’t make sense like plot holes, but also is respectful of the story to not reject everything I’ve made, but to work together and come up with something together, and genuinely enjoys it for what it is. I work M-F from 8-4:30 and I am EST. I also write at work whenever it’s not too busy. I would like to work alongside someone around my age, and possibly even multiple writing partners with different perspectives. And someone who understands the thriller, horror and mystery genre. I’d love to have a chat about it if you’re interested, you can reply here or PM me if you’d like to. Thank you so much for your time!

Me and my friend were working on a story and have nearly written the full first arc. But my friend who was going to write the full prose, suddenly had some personal issues in the family and couldn't work on the project anymore or nor he can return. So that's why I am searching for someone who can write the prose of the story, and co-author the work with me.

If interested just send me your DM.

Hello hello! I am an 18 male currently going to University for English writing. Why? I love to write, and I mean it i LOVE to write, always enjoyed to write plo5s and characters and truly explore the world of writing and crafting stories. That's why I roleplay too, I enjoy to have friends who I cam write with and craft stories. I like the idea of getting lost into world of our own, it's really nice hobby to just escape reality. And here I am. Ive been role-playing for over 7 to 8 years now. And I want to find more people who I can share this passion with. Someone I can just talk to and even roleplay together amd craft a story together and get lost in. I can write about anything with themes like action, adventure, drama, slice of life, horror. Even smut too. I mostly roleplay over at discord for the servers. It allows alot more space to put everything in their spots because I like to not only create bios but add examples of things like photos of their face, outfits, apartment, i truly enjoy the little details.

I even write fandoms like

• Marvel Spider-Man

• DC batmam and superman

• How To Train Your Dragon (recently getting into this)

• Harry Potter (mostly the movies)

• Michael Myers

• Jason Voorhees

• Jumanji

• X-Men

There are others but can't think of others at the moment, but again I want to find friends who I can share ideas and even roleplay together! HMU if you are down, have a nice day :)

Hi, I create ready-to-publish step-by-step drawing tutorials with 6–8 clear stage images and simple written instructions for art blogs, Amazon KDP books, kids' activity books, and EdTech sites—starting at ₹1,200 / $15 per tutorial ( DM me to get started ! ) amount negotiable !

i (30/m/canadian/queer) used to write a whole lot a few years ago, stopped because life hit me like a truck, and am slowly getting back into it. i’d love to chat w ppl about ideas, concepts, past and current projects, share excerpts, do writing sprints, etc.! i used to do this with a friend of mine back in the day, but we are no longer in touch. i mostly dabble in short fiction/autofiction and strange/unusual poetry (i used to be really into the modernists but now i’m kind of searching my voice lol) i know it’s a bit of a reach, but i do tend to click better with writers of shorter, whimsical & transgressive stuff vs writers of long, serious texts 😅 mostly bc of how different the processes end up being. sometimes it’s fun to submit stuff to the same journals and check in on each other’s submissions, etc. idk if this is too chaotic of a post, but if this resonates w/ u hit me up!!

Hello! Like many other people in their late 20s/early 30s, I grew up playing games like Halo, Mass Effect, borderlands, Gears of War, socom, Tom Clancy franchise, etc. Ever since then, I’ve wanted to create a fictional military but never actually started, other than small ideas scribbled in notebooks long forgotten.

Now, I have nothing but time and have been writing for a quite a few years. My father started writing a book he had in his head for thirty years and it inspired me to start creating my idea.

I had the thought to create this with AI as an assistant, but I don’t even want to try navigating that. It would feel more genuine and exciting to create something like this with another human. Eventually, I’d like to write books with said person(s) if/when we get to that point.

So, what do you say? Does this interest you enough to spark a conversation? If so, DM me. I’d love to hear and share ideas.

British guy looking for cute, vanilla writing partner.

There's a real darkness in the world at the moment. Everyone is angry and just stressed. I want to find a woman to build a happy world, where a boring, conventionally attractive, chubby couple fall in love, get married and live their happy ever after. You might have a difficult background or a dramatic career, but it's all led up to this moment where we meet, fall in love and get pregnant. There'll be lots of soppiness and cuteness, but it's fundamentally very vanilla.

The context really isn't important. Maybe you are a teacher in a school who's met the uncle of one of the kids. His interaction with her is so cute and you ask for his number.

Maybe you're the bridesmaid at your best friend's wedding and have a lovely liaison with the best man. He's a British guy who works for a charity as a lawyer.

Maybe we're crazy rich and have the most comfortable life possible.

Tell me exactly what you want. The important thing is that there's lots of 'I love yous' and eventually a 'babe, I think it's time. My water just broke.'

If this sounds vanilla and boring and ridiculously wholesome, that's exactly what it is. I want to build a world of happiness, smiles, handholding, painting the spare room, nice mini breaks and hugs.

Hi there!

I'm an independent writer, looking for female writer to co-write a story with me and 1 more (already found) writer.

If you're interested in writing drama, travelling / exploring vibes, serious / dramatic and comedy moments, developing one guidebook adventures story - this is the story you're looking for.

It doesn't matter if you're still a beginner.

I’m looking for female younger writer, aged 16 to 25–26.

What DOES MATTER: You MUST live in EUROPE / be European writer.

The story will include character development, forming adventures, a story of friendship, new characters introductions, exploring, new places, maybe a little backstory, etc.

Once you message, you'll get the information what's the idea of the story.

ABSOLUTELY NO AI ALLOWED!

Own intelligence ONLY!

Still very few amount of ideas for the story are already clear - so, new ones are not superfluous.

Copyright terms will be divided equally (50/50).

Once completed, this story will be published publicly, and you will be credited.

The story might eventually be brought to life and adapted into a live-action movie.

I work exclusively remotely — all communication, clarifications, and script development take place online — so please message me here first or on this Discord account: moviewatcher12_68717 or Mar12.

If the project sounds exciting and you’d want to join, join.

Additional matters will be discussed separately.

Thanks!

Hello wonderful people!

I have an idea for a story I would love to explore. It’s about finding who you are as a person, and being able to share who that person is with the world and the people you love most. It is designed specifically to be sapphic. DM me if you are interested! I do prefer actually writing the story though, on discord.

I hope to find a partner that will work with me, and I can work with them. I’m open to changes as long as it makes the story work and doesn’t detract from the message behind it.

This story is full of angst, passion, secrets, and coming to terms with who you are. I am hoping to have this story last - meaning I don’t want everything wrapped up quickly.

You would be playing the best friend, I do hope that is clear. 😅

Kara Peters and her best friend had never known a version of life without each other. Their mothers, high-school sorority sisters who had stayed close after graduation, bought houses on the same quiet street at the edge of a larger city. The two girls were born six weeks apart. They shared a crib at joint birthday parties, learned to ride bikes in the same driveway, and spent so many nights at one house or the other that both sets of parents eventually stopped keeping careful track. In that small community, where everyone still waved from their porches and high-school gossip traveled faster than the mail, the pair were treated as a single unit. Teachers seated them together without asking. Coaches expected them to carpool. No one ever questioned how naturally they finished each other’s sentences.

By the time they reached senior year of high school, Kara had begun to understand that something inside her did not match the script everyone else seemed to follow. When her friends clustered in the cafeteria and dissected which boys had looked at them in the hallway, she felt only a distant, polite blankness. It was like listening to a language she had never been taught. The feeling that did arrive, sudden and unmistakable, came when certain girls were near: the way one of them threw her head back when she laughed, the line of another’s collarbone above a tank top on a hot afternoon, the private smile her best friend sometimes gave her across a crowded room. Kara named the difference to herself late one night and then, just as carefully, refused to say the word out loud. In their town, the few people who had come out were still discussed in lowered voices. She decided the safest path was to stay quiet and keep moving.

When her best friend began dating one of a pair of inseparable boys from their class, Kara let the arrangement fold her in as well. Ryan was easy enough. He was steady, not particularly demanding, content to have a girlfriend who showed up at parties and laughed at the right moments. She learned the performance quickly. She texted him good morning, let him rest his arm across her shoulders in the bleachers, and answered questions about their plans with the same casual certainty everyone else used. No one looked twice. The four of them moved through the last months of high school as a matched set, and when college acceptances arrived for all of them in the same city, the arrangement simply continued.

The city was larger and louder. Views were more open. Rainbow stickers appeared on apartment windows; conversations about identity happened in dining halls without the old, careful hush. Kara chose a small one-bedroom of her own a few blocks from campus rather than sharing with her best friend. The distance felt necessary even then, though she never said why. They still saw each other constantly. There were group dinners, study sessions that stretched past midnight, weekends that blurred together. However, Kara could close her own door at the end of the night. She and Ryan stayed loosely paired with her best friend and her boyfriend. Weekends filled with the same bars and the same group chats. Kara told herself the arrangement with Ryan was temporary, that she would end it once she had the language and the courage, but senior year arrived and the conversation remained unfinished. His schedule, filled with an internship and late practices, made postponement easy. At the same time, ordinary time with her best friend had started to feel sharp-edged. Every movie night at one apartment or the other, every shared grocery run, every casual shoulder-bump carried the weight of what Kara could not say and could not stop wanting. She began declining invitations, citing the thesis she still had to finish, extra shifts at the campus job, simple exhaustion. The excuses were true enough to pass.

One Friday night near the end of the semester, the group went out anyway. Kara had tried to stay home but her best friend had shown up at the apartment and refused to leave without her. At the bar the boys eventually drifted toward another cluster of guys from Ryan’s intramural team. The two women stayed. The night lengthened. Drinks blurred the edges of old caution. They walked back to Kara’s place, still talking, still laughing, until the space between them closed. Neither of them named what was happening. In the morning Kara woke first. The room was gray with early light. Panic arrived before the hangover. She dressed in the dark, left a short note on the counter that said she had an early shift, and slipped out while her best friend was still asleep. She spent the morning walking campus until she was sure the apartment would be empty again.

A month has passed. Kara ended things with Ryan in a brief, careful conversation outside his apartment; he looked more surprised than hurt. Graduation is weeks away. Her senior capstone draft sits open on the laptop for hours at a time, the only task she allows herself to treat as urgent. She has continued to cancel plans with her best friend - short texts about revisions, about needing sleep, about catching up later. The apartment stays quiet. Tonight is no different. She sits at the kitchen table with the laptop glowing, types the message again “Can’t tonight, still buried in revisions”, sends it, and turns the phone face-down beside a cooling mug of coffee.

Then someone knocks on her apartment door.

Ive been working on a few book ideas for a few years now, i have two really good ideas one is a romance and one is an action type, only issue is I suck at putting words to paper, i just would like someone who i can bounce ideas off of and co-write a book with

Hello everyone! I'm looking for some new long-term DC roleplay partners!

I'm 27F, EST, and have several years of roleplaying experience. I'm a big fan of DC Comics, especially the Batfamily, Nightwing, Teen Titans, and the supernatural side of the universe!

I have three original characters I'd love to explore within the DC Universe. They're British half-elven sisters with different personalities, abilities, and lives of their own.

Meet the Kirkland sisters!

⚡ Elizabeth "Ebbie" Kirkland (26) — Joltbunny

A heavily tattooed rockstar and vigilante with electrical abilities, a sharp tongue, and a surprisingly big heart. Ebbie balances her music career with protecting people, often finding herself in trouble along the way. She's confident, flirtatious, adventurous, and not afraid to challenge someone.

🌿 Magnolia Kirkland (23) — The Botanist

A reserved but compassionate botanist and plant mage who owns a magical tea, botanical, and tattoo shop called Blooms, Brews & Tattoos. Magnolia is particularly suited to supernatural mysteries, quieter character moments, and slow-burning relationships.

🔮 Aubrey "Sage" Kirkland (20) — Mind Mutt

The youngest sister, a tattoo artist and telepath with illusion magic. Sage is blunt, sarcastic, mischievous, and occasionally a little too curious for her own good. She's aromantic asexual, so I'm particularly interested in exploring friendships, rivalries, and found-family dynamics with her!

What I'm looking for:

I'm interested in developing organic relationships between my OCs and DC canon characters, whether those relationships are romantic, platonic, or somewhere in between.

Some characters I'm especially interested in exploring are Nightwing, Red Robin, Red Hood, Batman, the wider Batfamily, and members of the Titans, but I'm open to other DC characters!

I love a mixture of action, humour, romance, slice of life, supernatural elements, and emotional character development. I especially enjoy ensemble casts where characters can interact with more than just one person.

I'm perfectly happy doing separate stories for each sister! You don't need to write multiple canon characters or interact with all three OCs.

A little about my writing preferences:

- Third-person, paragraph-style roleplaying. I typically write 1–2 paragraphs, sometimes more depending on the scene.

- Collaborative plotting! I love bouncing ideas off my partners and contributing equally to the story.

- Character-driven stories with meaningful interactions and gradual development.

- Romance is welcome, but not required! I prefer chemistry to develop naturally.

- OOC communication is encouraged. I love chatting about characters, headcanons, and possible storylines.

- I'm looking for adult partners (21+) only.

- No ERP or explicit NSFW. Romantic scenes can fade to black.

- I work during the week, so replies may vary. I'm understanding of real-life commitments!

Most importantly, I'm looking for someone who genuinely enjoys building stories together. I don't expect constant action or drama. Sometimes a quiet conversation between characters can be just as enjoyable as a fight against a supervillain!

If you're interested, feel free to send me a message introducing yourself, which DC characters you enjoy writing, and which sister interests you most!

Thanks for reading! ❤️

Hi, 33F looking for a dedicated critique partner on an almost query-ready manuscript. The genre is Adult Medieval Dark Fantasy, the wordcount is 112k words.

Ideally you're also 30+, and have a completed manuscript in the Fantasy genre.

Comment or send me a DM if interested! :)

Remember when characters stopped feeling like characters and started feeling like people you worried about?

I’m chasing that feeling, and I’d like to find it with you.

I don’t want a partner who trades paragraphs and calls it a day. I want someone who:

• Gets attached to our characters and cares about what happens to them

• Shows up with a wild idea and a “hear me out”

• Is happy to be surprised by where the story goes

How I Write

I write exclusively in third-person, past tense.

I’m an advanced literate writer whose replies usually run three to five detailed paragraphs, with room for character development and detail. That being said, I’ll always pick substance over length. Every post should move the story forward, so you’re never left staring at a wall of description with nowhere to go.

What I Want to Build

My favorite genres are Slice of Life, Low Fantasy, and Science Fiction. That could mean quiet, everyday moments between people who matter to each other, a touch of magic in an otherwise ordinary world, or a future that has gone a little wrong.

I’m looking for original settings and original characters rather than fandoms, though I’m happy to draw a little inspiration from them. I enjoy using face claims and other references as a visual baseline, but never as a replacement for description.

I’m also a sucker for romance, but only the kind that feels inevitable. If it grows naturally out of the characters and the story, I’m all in. If it only exists to check a box, I’ll pass.

When I’m Around

I’m on the U.S. East Coast and mostly available on weekdays. Evenings and weekends are hit or miss, so if you need a partner who can write all night or all weekend, I’m probably not your guy. 

If This Sounds Like You

Don’t just say hi. Send me a message that includes:

• A little about yourself

• How you write

• A story idea, character concept, or trope you’ve been itching to explore

Let’s make something we can’t stop talking about.
