I'm looking for a writing buddy to help me keep on track with my writing. Someone to bounce ideas off of and offer mutual encouragement when either of us flag.

What do I write?
I write speculative fiction, mainly horror or fantasy and scifi that's tinged with horror elements. Most of my work also covers POC and QILTBAG themes. Currently I'm working on a novel about a pair of serial killers who are locked in a literally bloody romance and how it brings their existence to the attention of the FBI.

My other project is what I'm calling a soft gothic horror novella based on the poem Annabel Lee, by Edgar Allen Poe. It's told from the view point of a lesbian vampire looking back on her life and death almost a century and quarter after she died while waiting for her lover to rise for the night.

What Am I open to genre wise for writing a writing partner?

I'm open to pretty much anything, though I would prefer someone with slightly similar writing interests. I wont deny anyone as long as we click together well no matter what they write.

Am I hopping for a long term or short term partnership?

I'm hopping for something more long term than short term. Something at least the duration of the time it takes to complete a novel and get it submission ready. I am not completely adverse to short term partnerships if that is what you want as long as we agree to it going in. I would enjoy making a friend out of this though that I can work with possibly for years to come.

Thanks in advance to anyone who posts in this thread or PMs me asking about it.

I can encourage you to write, no problem. Whenever you need encouragement, let me know.

Not here, but there
I'd like to try it for a while, short or long. Whatever works.
PM me if you're still looking.

These both sound interesting. I always need someone to kick me in the butt too. I am working on a fantasy, so PM me if you are still looking.

Can I jump in here too? I write similar stuff to the OP-- mostly horror and fantasy, though I have made forays into straight up fiction. I have a bunch of short stories to share, under 5,000 words, some flash length. I have some time and would love to do swaps with someone who also writes short spec fic. PM me if you're interested and if lilith1991 is all booked up.
