Seeking RolePlayers, Writers & Inspiration 2016

[cgraven]

I have an idea for a Steam Punk Story.

If you are not familiar with Steam Punk don’t hesitate to ask


Foreign Correspondent.
________________________________________

Jonas Pincheon had his doubts about the young copy girl he had hired a month ago. She had represented herself as a graduate of Smith College with a degree in literature and journalism. Oh he had hired her on a lark and just to put the growing suffragette and progressive movement on their ear. Just the thought of the conservative Springfield Herald being the first major newspaper to employ a woman in any capacity, and especially one who was a graduate of that eeliest feminine institution Smith College would take the wind out of their sails and put them in the distasteful position of having to parasite his progressiveness, and now to learn she was a fraud. Well he would soon put her in her place.

“Mr. Fish!”

Pinchoen’s voice boomed across the boisterous chatter of the news room as he called for his personal assistant. The young man, in his mid twenties, came running on the double. He had learned long sense that it did not pay to keep The Boss waiting, not if you valued your job.

“Fish tell Miss Carlton I want to see her in my Office on the third floor in ten minutes. Tell her if she takes eleven minutes that she well be seeking employment somewhere else, for she want be working for the Springfield Herald.”

Michael Fish turned on his heel and headed out on the run for the news room hollering at the top of his lungs,

“Miss Carlton, Miss Carlton…”

Five minutes of the hapless girl’s ten minutes had already slipped away when Fish finally located her in the papers achieves.

“The Boss……(ha…ha)… wants to see…..(ha….ha)…. you in the citadel……(ha….ha..) in ….”


Fish consulted his pocket watch,

”….in five minutes Miss Carlton.”

Michael Fish was bent over at the waist his hands on his knees as he fought to catch his breath.

The Boss is really on the war Talia never saw him so mad.”

Everyone who worked for the Springfield Herald knew that to be summoned to the citadel by the Boss bode ill for the recipient of the summons.

Jonas Pincheon pocket watch was open and in the palm of his hand as he watched the minutes tick by. The second hand had just marked minute nine’s passing when he heard the soft knock on his door

“Enter Miss Carlton”

There was no emotion in his deep dark voice. He held the young girl in the unblinking gaze of his cold hazel eyes.

“Smith College……Literature……..and ………Journalism”

Each word was slowly spoken, and clearly enunciated. Each word spoken as an accusation rather than a matter of fact.

“Can you give me one reason why I should not fire you on the spot Miss Carlton, for up to this point you have shown yourself to be a liar and a fraud!”


Jonas Pincheon had left Talia standing before the massive mahogany desk, everything about the office was designed to make the hapless victim feel small insignificant and there was never a chair for the condemned to sit in. Before Talia could answer Mr. Fish burst into the room. The fear in the young man’s eyes for having violated the citadel without being called for was obvious in his shifting eyes and the nervous tremor in his voice as he spoke.

“Mr. Douglas is missing Sir the, news just came in over the ticker tape.”

“Damn!”

Pincheon ran his fingers through his ginger hair, the little auburn haired girl forgotten for the moment. Jack Douglas was the Herald’s Foreign Correspondent that was covering the Russo Japanese War in far off China.

“Fish call Bowles Field and have them prepare my airship. Now get the hell out of here!”

Then Jonas once more turned his undivided attention to the little blue eyed waif in the frumpy dark grey.

“And you Miss Carlton what do you have to say for yourself?”

Jonas Pincheon wondered what else, beside her factious past, the blue eyed girl with the angelic face might be hiding under that drab ill fitting dress she wore.

“Well!”

he barked at her.

Would love to start a taboo story

Any females interested in starting a taboo story where you would be my naughty mom, stepmom, or aunt send me a message so we can brainstorm ideas

 

[AngelEyes1994]

I have recently come to the realization that, while I enjoy writing sexual scenes, I am more interested in the story that accompanies the sex.

I explain this for two reasons:

First, I have quit some stories recently that were primarily about sex, and I wanted my former fellow writers to know that I hadn't quit because of them.

Second, I have a few new ideas I want to entertain, posted below.

Now, most of these ideas will be played out in the Online Role Play (ORP) forum. They will likely include sexual scenes, but they are not per se sexual role plays. However, I am posting those ideas here because the ORP forum doesn't have a "Seeking Writers" thread.

"Divestiture"

• Seeking 1 or more writers, male or female.
• May include sex but is mostly dramatic story.
• Recently, the Press has been filled with stories about the ultra-wealthy suddenly and surprisingly becoming significant philanthropists to a wide variety of causes.
• No one has been able to explain the sudden philanthropy, and those doing the donating are saying very little other than to say they feel it is their social duty.
• Now you, a One Percenter, have been approached by my character with a deal.
• You won't like it ... but then, the option is worst.
• But hey, things aren't all bad. Some people enjoy spending time with my character, who could be either one of the following, presented in no particular order:
  #1, #2, #3, #4, #5

"Oxymoron"

• Corruption within government and corporate business is at an all time high.
• The powerful get more powerful. The rich get richer.
• Acts of violence by desperate people are rising exponentially.
• But many of them seem far too systematic and effective to be simple acts of random violence.
• That leads to the FBI's discovery of a secret organization called "Oxymoron".
• The group is quite literally an oxymoron: organized anarchy.
• The group -- with Chapters located across the globe -- is determined to bring down national and state/province governments, returning control of localities to the locals.
• Your characters can be Federal Agents trying to stop Oxymoron, members of the anarchist organization, or others connected to the plots in some way.

"Gangland"

• My character is the daughter of an Asian crime lord who -- with the balance of his family -- was brutally murdered by a street gang.
• She was trained in martial arts and the use of all forms of weapons from a very young age.
• Now, she's going to get revenge by wiping out the gang.
• We can talk about what kind of character you'd like to write.

[wintersfanatic]

Looking to start a RP where a young girl (or two) are kidnapped overseas and sold at a sex-slave auction.

Think about the movie Taken... only without the happy ending.

 

[slut_in_white]

I'm interested in a sexy romance RP with a supernatural twist!

The premise:

Our characters are immortal. Unable to age (maybe unable to die?) each thinks they are alone in the world - the only one of their kind. They watch generations pass, always in the midst of humanity, but always alone. Unable to grow old with any potential partner means that any relationship is doomed to heartbreak, and so they have learned to avoid attachments. Perhaps this means they engage only in one-night stands, or they end relationships before they can become too attached.

Either way, the two are thrust together by some outside circumstance, and sparks fly immediately. There is irresistible chemistry between them. But... since neither knows the other is immortal, they resist. Maybe it begins with an ill-advised drunken night together, and they are left trying to resist the temptation to do it again.

Either way, eventually, the truth would come out, and the sexual tension that had been building would be released all at once when they realize they can be together, forever.

-----

The way I see it, this RP can be mixed together with a lot of other premises. If you've got something you wanna play out and you'd be interested in adding this dimension to it, let me know! Otherwise, I'd be into the idea of them being coworkers, of a sort - being that they're immortal, I'd be inclined towards setting them both up as powerful people (lawyers, CEOs, maybe stars).

I'm interested in a slow-ish burn - I'd be up for the sexy times showing up early, when they first meet, but there would probably be a significant portion in the middle where it would primarily be about resisting the temptation to do it again. If you've got a good handle on spelling/grammar, like interesting and well-rounded characters and you're into this idea, please PM me!

The Mara Sisters

Ok, I'm going to try this one more time. Looking for one or two female writers to play out this story with me. PM me if interested.

*********************************************************

It was a beautiful day for football in New York, well, New Jersey actually. I could not believe my luck. I never won anything. But amazingly, somehow I had managed to win an internet contest for a trip to New York City and tickets to the Giants-Steelers game. And not just tickets. A seat in one of the luxury suites high above the field. There was probably room for twenty people in our suite but there were only a dozen today, other winners of the contest and its sponsors. I was amazed to be there, not only with the view but with all the amenities – unlimited food and alcohol.

This was like a dream come true because there was nothing I loved more than football. Well, ok, maybe beer. Or, yeah, definitely hot women. But football was right up there.

Perusing the program before the game, I saw that Kate Mara was going to sing the national anthem. Another stroke of luck. She was a hot little minx that I liked to drool over. Both she and her sister, Rooney, were big time movie actresses. But it also so happened that they were the granddaughters of the original owner of the Giants, Wellington Mara, and of the Steelers, Art Rooney. I vaguely remembered that Kate sometimes sang the anthem at Giants games because of her closeness to the team. Her father, Tim Mara, was still an executive with the team. So I was doubly lucky that I would get to see her too. I wondered if her sister Rooney would also be at the game. I knew they were both big Giants fans, of course.

Using my binoculars, I started scanning the occupants of the other upper level luxury suites. I knew that one of them would be the owners suite. I was hoping to be able to spot it and if I got lucky again, one or both of the sisters might be there. Finally, I thought I spotted it about six suites to my right near the fifty yard line. It was hard to tell for sure because the angle wasn’t great, but I thought I recognized John Mara, the current owner of the Giants, and Dan Rooney, the current owner of the Steelers, obviously his guest for the afternoon. I could see other people moving around in the suite but it was hard to recognize them due to the angle.

I looked down at the field and saw they were getting prepared to start the game. Instead of watching the teams come out, I was scanning the fifty yard line. That’s when I first spotted Kate coming out to the mic they had set up in the middle of the field. She really was there! Now I just had to see if she was going to come up to the suites.

She sang the anthem beautifully of course and I confess my eyes were on her the whole time, not on the flag. Not that I’m unpatriotic. I just have my priorities. I watched her go into the tunnel behind the home team bench at the fifty yard line and wondered how I could find out if she was staying for the game. If she was, she was sure to be in the owner’s suite with her family.

 

[AngelEyes1994]

Female wanted.

This is very much a work of spontaneity, meaning I don't have a plot in mind at all except that it might -- doesn't have to -- be a lengthy buildup to a sex scene that, quite possibly, will be the ending of the story.

How would you react if you went out the front door to the lawn to pick up the morning paper and found her simply standing there, looking at you?

I would hope you would invite her inside ... what ever your motives might be.

I am hoping to write this in mostly but not exclusively short posts from my phone during the work day and small breaks in the action at home. I am on instant notification during my waking hours, so I should be able to reply relatively quickly. However, I am looking for a writer who will edit for spelling and grammar, rather than simply speak a few words into their voice recognition and hit "Save Changes".

 

[silvertongue217]

Looking to do some thing in the sci fi or fantasy vein. In this one your character and mine would play to opposite members of a race or species. These species can either be cliche or entirely original (im hoping original) they both would have their reason for being exiled which can be talked to with me and my partner. In this one the romance would ALREADY exist (these two characters would have been together for at least a year) whether they are married or not is up to my co writer.

This story would begin with my female writer either finding out she is pregnant or with the birth of our characters child (or children once again this is depending on my co writer) Our characters would then deal with the complexities of raising a child (or being pregnant) while also being wanted criminals. I have big plans for this kind of story as it is partially based on the concept behind the comic book SAGA which is a thrilling read. I am thinking big ideas original ideas and just some thing me and my partner can have fun with and say "hey lets do the impossible while telling this love story"

I look forward to hearing from some one about this idea and brainstorming.

Alexa: In The Clutches of Criminals

Here's what I want to do, my character Alexa, a single mother desperate to get her son back, works as a prostitute in a sleazy hole in the wall brothel run by criminals, treated as little better than a sex slave. Her clients go through a secret entrance leading to a gallery of glass booths where women dance for attention. The clients can choose a girl, pay the cashier, and are taken to the bedrooms on the other side of the booths. She's a virtual prisoner, but is occasionally allowed out with an escort. She keeps her young son a secret and it kills her that she can't contact him or call out to him when she sees him in the street. That secret can certainly be exploited for story purposes.

http://38.media.tumblr.com/1adffc58a30158a3a95c682f05eb2e46/tumblr_n9g1d39ukM1s2qt1lo2_r1_500.gif - http://33.media.tumblr.com/94928528c819d93b597f68660ce1fdd0/tumblr_n4omv3SgW31qbaxoio1_250.gif​

I would like to do a scene with a client or pimp/madame, perhaps even being assessed in order to be sold to another establishment.

Or perhaps a boyfriend I see in secret who's trying to rescue me (my favorite), but can't right now.

or an ex fresh out of jail who wants another shot with and takes advantage of her position.

PM if interested.


EDIT: Lots of interest in the main roles, all filled, but I may still need some regular clients in the story. Or if you have other ideas for characters, please let me know.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Hello everyone!

I am casting out interest for a Roleplay I would like to do- I have already written a prologue (and first post of mine ) for it. Unfortunately my intended RP partner fell through for it, so I thought I would advertise here in case some one is interested.

Prologue Link
So, it is called "The Atonement of Prometheus". The background is based on the myth of Pandora's box (Pandora opens the box, evils fly out), as part of Zeus' revenge against the Titans Prometheus and Epithemeus. Cut forward several thousand years, and the three Fates have discovered that the Evils Pandora released were leading to the destruction of Mankind. Unfortunately Pandora's pithos (fancy old style Greek word for urn-type thing) was lost or destroyed and now only a a Titan would be strong enough to contain them. Cue Prometheus. He now has to find Pandora's descendent (as only a human can harness the Evils in order to return them to containment), and they need to work together to capture said Evils. Over time Prometheus will slowly become consumed by the evils he is accruing, they tug and twist and conflict his natural personality. Despite the seriousness of their mission he also reluctantly falls for Pandora's descendent, even though he knows what the Evils are doing to him and what he could do to her if he lost control.

Anyway, long-story short, it is a crazy ancient myth inspired tragic tale. It would be primarily a plot driven RP, with sex thrown in (because hey, erotica is great). I don't get hung up on post length (I think content is what is important, and sometimes short posts are needed, long post other times), but I would love to work with someone who is able to get into the character and work on an awesome story with me. I already have some ideas in mind but am willing to play around with them to make it something great.

Now I just need a Prometheus

Please feel free to PM me

Giving this idea a bump to see if there's any interest...


Seeking a male co-writer for a 1920's themed SRP. My character is from an affluent family and is forced to be the "perfect daughter", but, at night she sneaks out to a speakeasy and lets her hair down. Your character can be anything you can imagine: someone from a prosperous family, the owner or an employee of the speakeasy, a bootlegger, gangster...the possibilities are endless.

I'm looking for a co-writer who has a proper grasp on the English language and grammar. Someone who is articulate and enjoys the build up of the story and development of the characters as much as the sexual aspect of the story.

Please PM your interest and a basic character concept.

Looking for female writers.

I'm looking for a writing partner that is willing to be more plot driven than sex driven. There will be sex in the thread but sex will not be the main focal point.

I have a few plots and they are:

The Magic users.

The plot is two magic users are in the modern day where magic is almost forgoten and the users are almost gone as well. The last of the users are in a constant battle with either fellow users or people/agency that look to use their powers for their personal gains. The main characters end up meeting in the city after shaking off their potential captors and after an intense battle between the two characters they realize that what the other one wants is just to live and not kill anyone. After a brief talk they go back to the males safe house in order to further their discussion and after awhile the male character extends an invitation to the female character to stay with him seeing how they both want the same thing. After some time together the characters develope strong feelings for one another and it boils over to a intense love making session then they become lovers.

Fantasy

For this thread I don't have anything really planned out because I want to craft it with my prospective partner so we can have something that we both enjoy but I can tell you that if you want to write with me I'm will to do a romance thread or something along the lines of another thread I'm in called Rape, Pillage, Burn.

What I'm looking for is a long term partner that doesn't mind chatting about future plot points so we can develope the story as we go. This doesn't mean that we have to stick to what we talk about like a script it will be more of a guide so we will not be caught so off guard that the post hinders the person posting.

Sibling Incest

.

Hi all

I'm not a 100% sure where this idea came from but I am looking for a female writer who is interested in beng my sister.

Most sibling incest stories seem to occur in their late teens. But this idea is set when they are both older.

The premise that the two siblings are both going through a mid life crisis. Maybe one is a widower, the other divorced? And at least one, if not both of them have children.

They have never been close close siblings, but they are good friends, calling each other and as social media took hold, their frequency of keeping in touch increases.

Anyway there is a family event, a parent's death? An anniversary? Anyway they end up meeting for the first time in a couple of years, and their cheeky flirting crosses a line.. Maybe aided by a glass of wine or two?

This is very much in a development stage, but looking for a cowriter who would like to brainstorm and write this idea.

Please let me know by PM

 

[ToolmanTim]

Looking for female writers with some open threads.

The Bull and the Cheerleaders A hung transfer student gets exposed to a group of cheerleaders in the girls lockerroom.

Supervillains! Steel Death frees some fellow supervillains from prison and expects payment in return.

Step-Sister home from college. Teasing, submissive step-sister home from college, trying to seduce her new step-brother.

Lucky Bastard A lucky bastard wins the lotto. He goes to college and has sexual escapades across campus. Looking for a female who likes to write multiple roles.

Clearing the Debt You were very successful after college and started living way beyond your means. When you got fired you can't pay your debts, so you seek out an old boyfriend who is quite loaded, and he offers to pay your debts for a year of service as his sex slave.

The Clinical Trial Alex volunteers for a prostate drug trial and it makes his dick larger, able to have sex repeatedly and cum by the bucket. His cum is also an almost irresistible pheromone.

I have others in the archives, or if you want to create something original, I'm game.

Hello Everyone. I am a female writer looking to join in some threads. While I am open to just about anything, my favorites would be sci-fi, fantasy, and medieval.

Hi!

I've been hovering around the forums a while and finally decided to get another thread going. I have the beginnings of an idea in mind and am hoping to find someone that will help me hash it out and write it with me. A note: I travel for a living so my posts could take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. The posts don't have to be testament long, but i do enjoy descriptions. I put as much work in my post as the one I'm replying to, so two or three line posts usually make me a sad woman. I plan this story to be more focused on story, with sex thrown in there because who doesn't enjoy some dirty fun?

The premise: A young woman (played by myself) has found herself moving to Massachusetts. She has always been spiritual and, eventually, found herself drawn to Wicca. After looking around for a coven to join she found one and decided to join their full moon festivities. There, she met another. Someone that sparked something inside of her she thought lost long ago.

My first thought was to have the two have sex that first night, perhaps to aid the building of power for the ritual that is part of the festivities. The main focus of the story is what happens after, the slow courting and building of something other than lust.

This story can go many ways. The other character could be anyone, magic in a fantasy sense could be added, etc.

If you have an idea for a character and how this story could go, please send me a pm with them. Thanks in advance.

Nyx
