about neptune
Hey there! I'm neptune and since I'm looking for a few new writing buddies, I figured I'd make a shiny new search! Please send me a PM or post here if you see something that you like <3
- I have been roleplaying for about ten years. It started off with Harry Potter, then branched into DC Comics and now my interests are pretty much all over the place.
- I'd consider myself an advanced writer that prefers quality over quantity. There is a sample of my writing in my RP Resume, or you can just go through my profile and lurk my current threads. I usually match whatever I'm given, but my standard minimum is three paragraphs.
- As you can see, I like pretty posts but BBCode is not a requirement for writing with me.
- I play males and females equally and don't have a preference for the gender of my characters most of the time.
- I don't mind doubling and I love playing multiple characters as well as NPCs.
- Gimmie that gay shit.
- Straight ships are a-okay too.
- I prefer using real people (actors/celebrities/etc.) for face claims, but I'm also cool with art in some instances as long as it's not anime.
- My character sheets are minimal because I prefer for things develop and come out as the RP progresses. Long and overly detailed sheets take me eighty-four years to fill out and every minute of it is agony. I'll compromise and meet you in the middle, though.
- Realistically, I can reply once or twice a week.
- I try really hard not to ghost people, but it happens sometimes and it's usually because I either missed the alert or checked it on my phone and forgot to grab it later for my laptop. Feel free to send me a poke if you haven't heard from me in a week or two!
- Overall, communication OOC is really important to me. If I don't like the way a scene is going, I'll tell you. If I'm not feeling the RP anymore, I'll tell you. If I'm going to be out of touch for a certain amount of time, I'll tell you!
- It's my not so secret hope to become friends with all of my partners, so feel free to add me on Discord and chat with me!
- I write most of my replies to music, so if we're partners then there's a high chance that a Spotify playlist for our thread will be coming your way.
potential partners
- Please be 18+ and know that I'll side eye you if you don't have a red or blue heart next to your name.
- I'm looking for someone who considers themselves adept or above in writing ability. I'm not saying you have to have perfect grammar and spelling all the time (I don't, lol), but I also don't want to be left guessing about what your replies mean. I'd also like to see some kind of flow in replies and not just a recap/reaction to whatever I wrote.
- Be ready to plot, plan and worldbuild! I love to brainstorm and bounce ideas around with my partners and it bums me out when that normally fun process becomes like pulling teeth with one word answers. I don't want to tell a story by myself.
- Please don't
only play one gender; please don't assume a role without discussion; please don't suggest we double and then forget about the other pair; please respect me and my creative endeavors and know that my characters are not just here to romance your OC. And please don't think I'm a jerk for having to say all that.
- Communicate with me! If you like something, if you don't like something, if you have an idea, if you want to do a second thread, I'm here for all of it and I
want to hear everything.
- In an ideal world, no one would ever ghost anyone, but just try to tell me if you want out of the RP or you need to take off.
- I don't poke people for posts. I'm very patient and will wait months for a reply if you need it, but I'd prefer a partner who can post once a week (or more, I won't complain).

odds and ends
Everything listed below is purposefully vague so that we can make it our own during plotting.
- Cold War Russian spies living in America and working for the Kremlin.
- House of Cards style political drama.
- Vigilante crime fighters (powered or non) who used to be lovers (or a team) and are now enemies.
- People who gain strange and dangerous powers during en eclipse; optional government interference.
- A medium (who may or may not be a fraud) who assists police with missing persons cases.
- The young wife of an assassin finds herself widowed and on the run with the spy who killed her husband.
- Modern royalty or "Crazy Rich" somebodies.
- In the aftermath of a cosmic disaster, where a rogue planet collides with Earth's sun, humanity struggles to survive in lethally cold temperatures.
- The devastating effects of climate change forcing humans off of Earth and into deep space to either hunt for a new planet or survive aboard a space ship for the rest of eternity.
- A dystopian future featuring a large wall around a city and rampant social inequality.
- An FBI agent has an inappropriate relationship with a criminal informant.
- A boring dystopia where Amazon delivery drones are shot out of the sky for parts and advertisements are beamed directly into your brain; where people humiliate themselves on soulless reality shows for an organ transplant or life-saving drugs. Today, but worse.
- Formerly dead people returning to life (not zombies) as if nothing happened.
- A far off future where organs are harvested from the poor to give to the rich in order to keep them eternally youthful. Some of the wealthiest have lived for half a century.
- Pitch me a plot of your own! I'm down to hear anything.
