Which book, graphic novel, or other other form of 'book' media are currently reading/listening to? I've been in the midst of Declare by Tim Powers for a while now; a dense story of WWII and Cold War Espionage -- but also, there's magic(?). Also slugging my way through The Friends of Eddie Coyle...

Howdy folks. I'm Donny, your friendly neighborhood internet elder. 30+, she/her, Israeli (UTC+2 or 3, depending on the time of year). Looking for fellow passionate, experienced writers for some emotionally-rich, occasionally-devastating MxM 1x1s, primarily crime drama or weird...

No worries. It does say in the guidelines that the approval period takes a while, I figured it'll happen when it'll happen. Thanks for letting me know though!

Oh boy. Buckle up, because I have a lot of thoughts on this. When it comes to what actually motivates me to create a character: I rarely create new ones because I find that most of them don't stick - they just don't grab me, and I lose interest in them fairly quickly. More on this later. With...

My protagonists are all male (I'm female), but minor characters and NPCs always vary in gender, age, etc., and I'm happy to write against characters of all genders. Gender expression is something I consider an important part of characterization, so I wouldn't say I simply disregard gender when...

I'm intrigued. You're on.

An assortment of character doodles from the past little while. I'll likely post their actual character sheets if and when I get permissions to the character depository.

Back in the old, godforsaken days of indie Tumblr roleplay, I used to run a multi-muse blog and wanted its title to represent that fact. Since my characters are all amalgamations of various sources of inspiration as well as their own past variations (my longest-running character has been with me...

I came across this little post a few years back - not sure I'd call it an article - and have been practicing the concept ever since with willing writing partners. In essence, the idea behind seamless writing is that, rather than playing post-by-post, both writers get to interweave their writing...

Thank you both for the kind words! I've never heard of So Weird, but it sounds like young me would've loved it. I’m sure the right person will be able to help you figure out how to make that work in this setting. 😊

If we're talking genre, I have absolutely no idea what initially got me into crime, but it's been my favorite for the vast majority of my roleplaying career (usually mixed with 20th century history and occasional supernatural elements). But if we're talking about what actually interest me in a...

This is a niche one, but: Harry Starks from The Long Firm by Jake Arnott. In a nutshell, the book follows the life of a Jewish gangster based in 1960s-80s London, with each of the book's 5 sections told from a different character's perspective, but never Harry's himself. IIRC, the author...

Hi there, folks. Donny, she/her (any pronouns are fine), 36. Artist and craftswoman (illustration, sewing, embroidery, sculpting, cooking), bird mom of four, feral reader and avid writer of 20+ years. Most of my roleplaying career consists of grounded, realistic crime plots (less 'mafia'...
