I'm looking for writing partners which I can strike up a long term partnership with.

Currently, I have a complete <80000 word YA Urban Fantasy Novel. I'm hoping to meet someone who has a complete/almost complete work; someone who is in a similar frame of mind that I am in, so we can get mutual benefits out of our partnership.

I'm a fantasy lover at heart. My favourite authors include Melanie Rawn and L.J Smith. So if you write any type of YA fantasy (including dystopic, sci-fi) I'm interested!!

As for what I write, my current complete work is YA urban fantasy, but I'm interested in fantasy as a genre over all.

My story's short synopsis:

Maria Curran is half-witch and half-fairy. Estranged from the supernatural world, she wants only to be human, just like her best friend Chris. However, in her desperation to maintain her human farce, Maria has become addicted to using memory loss potions. Maria thinks she only uses the potions every time she faces sure disaster, but it is impossible to keep track of deliberately forgotten memories. In fact, Maria uses the potion far more than she could ever imagine.
But forgetting memories doesn’t erase the past. Unresolved problems don’t go away – they accumulate. Powerful members of the supernatural world want Maria to come back, and they will stop at nothing to ensure her return. Worse still, Maria, as a half-fairy, possess fantastical fairy powers. With just one drop of blood, Maria can compel ardent, eternal love. Unbeknownst to Maria, she has compelled Chris to fall in love with her.
Their romance is something Maria can’t remember, and Chris cannot forget. His blind love will cost him his humanity, and to save him, Maria will have to sacrifice any chance of ever attaining hers.

[I haven't been active here for the past months, because I've had exams, but I'm definitely rejoining the fray]
If you're interested, please PM me! :D
