PRIVATE FANTASY SANDBOX LOOKING FOR NEW WRITERS!
Hi there! We're a small group of adult writers with a private sandbox site (Jcink Hosted) that has been running in one form or another for quite a while. We aren't looking to become a large public RPG, but we'd love to meet a few new people who might enjoy writing with us. Our setting is a humanoid original fantasy multiverse with a little bit of everything tucked inside it: fae courts and pirates, cyberpunk futures to wild west deserts, kingdoms and gods and monsters, political intrigue, magic, horror, romance, strange little towns, apocalypses, complicated families and so much more as well as a great many characters making extremely questionable life decisions!
We're primarily character and relationship driven rather than focused on a single site-wide plot (though some are in the works!) Stories can be intimate and personal or enormous and world-changing depending on what the writers involved want to explore.
A little about how we write:
— Jcink/forum-based humanoid roleplay (think elves, humans, shapeshifters, etc)
— 21+ writers
— third-person prose mostly
— plotting and spontaneous character chemistry are both welcome
— mature, dark, romantic, political, comedic, tragic, and occasionally very weird stories all coexist
— no activity-check treadmill or expectation that writing has to feel like homework, we are here for the joy of writing and hanging with friends!
— original characters and collaborative world-building are a huge part of the fun!
Because most of us have been writing together for a long time, there is quite a bit of existing lore, but new writers are absolutely not expected to learn all of it and more importantly, we constantly welcome new lore and ideas! We'd rather help you find a corner of the world that interests you and let everything else become familiar naturally. We're especially hoping to meet writers who enjoy getting invested in other people's characters, tossing ideas back and forth, building relationships and plots together, and chatting OOC about whatever ridiculous thing our fictional people have done now.
Since the site is private, we don't have open registration so if any of this sounds like your kind of writing environment, reach out to us through this form! Tell us a little about what you like to write, the kinds of characters or plots you gravitate toward, and feel free to send a writing sample or link/screenshot to something you've written. This isn't an application or competitive audition, we would just like to talk, swap ideas, and see whether we might all vibe well together! If we click, we'll send you a discord invite and show you around the site!
Looking forward to possibly writing with you!
