I am on a never ending quest to find a creative and witty writing partner, who I can enchant with my multiple ideas for a few Genshin Impact (AU) RPs. I hope this post will find you, wherever you are T - T
First things first, you can call me Mercury, I am female and 30 years old. Likewise, I'd love to find someone who is close to my age range (25+) and preferably female (had the best experience with them so far, but am not entirely opposed to others reaching out).
GMT+1/+2 timezone, but don't let that stop you from reaching out though. I don't mind a timezone difference, as long as you can excuse some minor grammar mistakes here and there. English isn't my native language, but I will always try my best to make sense of my writing. It's kinda my last resort, since I am more used to write in my native tongue, so please bear with me.
Huge shout-out an alle meine deutschsprachigen Schreiberlinge an dieser Stelle. Ein Königreich für jemanden, der gut schreibt und sich komplett in der Genshin Lore verlieren kann, ohne Flachs. Mir läge es sehr am Herzen, wenn dieser Beitrag tatsächlich jemanden findet, der selbst auch auf der Suche nach einem Genshin RP ist. Bitte ziert euch nicht mich anzuschreiben. Es ist nämlich so schwierig euch zu finden.

Specifically seeking someone who:
- loves to plot & discuss lots beforehand
- enjoys story-driven & character-driven plots
- is able to write as any gender & multiple characters
- enjoys OC x CC dynamics or rather is not opposed to the idea of it
- OC x CC & CC x CC (feel free to pick your favorite)
- MxF for my side, open to FxF/MxM/MxF on your side (huge fan of Sidepairings btw)
- 3rd Person/Past Tense
- owns a Discord
I am not seeking rapid fire replies! That is unfortunately not my style. I'd rather wait patiently for a longer and more detailed response than a daily back and forth bantering. I beg for your understanding here. I am no one who stresses people out, in fact I am more than happy if we both can agree to write when we actually got time on our hands. I firmly believe that motivation is a great factor that works best when no one feels pressured into being available all the time.
I highly prefer quality over quantity, but-! Please give me something to work with, since it brings the most joy to me to read through a response that offers surprises, lively dialogue and well-thought actions. I love to see how creative someone can get while writing, so please allow me to witness your talents.
Refrain from using Artificial Writing! -this should be self-explanatory. I am not willing to write with someone who let's a program generate their responses. Either take your time and put some dedication in your writing or please stick to something else to rp with. I myself am struggling with English sometimes and still won't make use of it, so there is no need for you either.
We either double or we go home! Look, I've read through multiple adds already and I am kinda proud to call myself someone who can invest herself in both sides of the story, and I'll do it gladly with shimmering sparkles shooting from my eyes. Whatever your character needs will play an important role for me during writing. I am no one who tries to overshadow your needs or demand to only pay attention to my side. I am curious enough to hear you out. I can easily hop onboard the hype train, providing feedback, discussing topics and memorizing facts that might be important to you. You want to flesh out your character by interacting with as many characters as possible, consider it done. Can't decide for a main love interest, let's find out by having more than one option. Can't figure out your character's goals or what their role is supposed to be, then let's make room for as many possibilities as possible. I will gladly do all of that if you are willing to do the same for me, nothing more nothing less.
Forget about your Mary Sue's, we are going down the realistic path! Naturally, this only affect you if you are wanting to write an OC, but of course also if you mainly want to stick to CCs. Please keep in mind that a character should have flaws, nobody after all is perfect. I am not looking for a world that offers only the most easiest solutions and characters that always win the fight. Authenticity is the key. Allow your character to be realistic with their intentions and decisions and try to find a balance that brings out their good as well as their bad sides. Character sheets are a must, but you don't have to write a whole essay. I love some small details and a good background that gives me an idea of how your character works.
Romance is a requirement, but not the focus of the story! You got me. I can't live with my heartwrenching romance, with all the ups and downs. I love to explore any form of romantic trope, but most importantly would be a bond that develops naturally over a longer period of time. Huge bonus points if we can stick to different tropes for our chosen pairings. I am, however, not solely looking for love quarrels and relationship drama as a main plot point, that's a "no thanks" for me. It's important to me that the focus will remain on the story and its development like 90% of the time.
You can leave the plotting to me, but not the whole creative contribution! Although I prefer plotting together, since I wouldn't want to give you the feeling of excluding your ideas or suggestions, I could handle coming up with most of the plot and twists on my own. But don't expect me to always take the lead when it comes to writing the whole thing out. I wouldn't want to drag someone behind me all the time and initiating every single conversation, developement or hardship. Be engaged, bold and passionate enough to come up with something on your own. Let's be a team to make the writing enjoyable and fun for the two of us.
Without good chemistry, we won't match! It starts with exposing yourself by asking questions that had been already answered in my add. Look, I am trying to be as specific as possible, not to exclude people, but rather to find the right people who are actually looking for the same thing. I indeed want you to put effort into this, but I also crave lots of fun while writing and talking about all the silly ideas that come to mind. I can put together a playlist for our favorite pairings and still discuss in depth the next complex arc we can challenge our characters with. Yes, this is indeed just a hobby to me but it just isn't as fulfilling if I can't pour my heart into it. Tried it before and it just isn't my thing. So I'll be as honest and as gentle as possible when I tell you that it all comes down to how well we get along in the end.

I adore the Genshin Lore (at least the bits that really managed to capture my interest) and a few of the theories that plopped up during the time, where we didn’t have the knowledge, we have nowadays. It is no requirement to know the Lore by heart, rather I’d love to write with someone who loves to get creative with me, taking bits of the existing Lore and forming it into our own unique thing. I am always open to your suggestions as well as your very own ideas of improving a storyline. There is lots to make use of in the Genshinverse after all. I've written down some of the storylines I'd love to develope and discover further. It would be such a waste to me to just sit on them forever and not having someone to explore them with.
Dystopian/Adventure:
Imagine a setting with a tainted magic that spreads like a disease through all of Teyvat. I love to explore a setting, where all of the regions heavily distrust each other. The Archons visibly exploiting their high positions, the Fatui being the ones who secretly try to stabilize the world, earning nothing but hatred for their good deeds, Visions actually being a curse instead of a blessing (which makes it even more interesting to figure out their origins). I could imagine the traveler (either Aether or Lumine) playing a huge role as the one who gets to decide if the world deserves to continue exisiting as it is or has to cease to exist entirely.
Mystery/Comedy:
Always loved the idea of thinking about the Genshin cast in the modern world. What would their lifes look like? Would they be employed, freelancing, criminals? The list goes on.
I gotta say, I am in love with the whole Inazuma cast/region, that’s why my idea revolves around Beidou owning a cruise ship that actually takes its route through the various islands of Inazuma, discovering its mysterious which are mainly made up stories to gain some good ol money from the tourists who board the ship. The twist is that there are some real mysteries going on that only get noticed by our chosen protagonists. It’s kinda supposed to be given Gruncle Stan (Gravity Falls) who is advertising his mystery shack, while all the real mysteries are existing freely around him. I would leave lots of room for comedy with this one, since it just fits the bill. Also I would love to add some angsty moments, including some frightening Japanese mythology, ghosts, creatures, riddles and being stuck in a loop at some point maybe?
Supernatural/Mystery:
Always felt the need to explore parallel worlds, actual time traveling and overlapping timelines in Teyvat (since the latter one has been proven to be possible in Genshin). I feel that an adventure through the various nations of Teyvat could be more than fitting for this one. The deserts of Sumeru might be the perfect stage for ancient mysteries and riddles that transcend time (and could also be our starting point of the journey).
It might be fun to get most of the Sumeru Cast involved in this one, given that we have lots of scholars that might consider a journey through the deserts for their own goals. I could see our characters either being scholars of the academy themselves or even being from a whole different timeline and currently being stuck and trying to solve their very own riddle by looking for a way to returning home safely.
Dispatch AU / The Walking Dead AU / Alice in Wonderland AU:
Requires knowledge of the mentioned Fandoms. Probably my most anticipated AU's, where we could indulge ourselves in and discuss all the various options, beginning with which character might fit which role best. I love these type of discussions the most. Imagine how fun it could be to decide which Genshin character would make a good Dispatcher and which one a potential superhero or even villain? The many possibilities of the utterly disaster some of the Genshin cast had to went through in a world that is dominated by deadly zombies, especially the teams that formed during that time could be quite the intersting topic to delve into. I gotta say, that I always wanted to cook something good up with the story of Alice in mind, whether it be some Alice vs. Queen of Hearts showdown or something entirely else. I am just waiting for someone to give me a reason to come up with something fitting tbh.
If you made it this far I just want to congratulate you and thank you for your patience and time to read through all of this. I would love to hear from you soon.
