The Dragon Lord
I'm going to be blunt:
Seeing just how many works here have some degree of romantic involvement between characters, it would be great if I got experience RPing as part of a pairing. In my long years traversing the Internet, I've had to do so repeatedly (as both genders, in pairings with both genders, as well as an OT3), but I just . . . can't . . . get it right.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that, as an asexual, I have never had sexual or romantic inclinations personally, so I can't just write from experience. Most of my romantic subplots, therefore, are based on those (extremely unhealthy) relationships I see around me, or watching those of fictional characters (not much better).
So, if anyone would coach me (or, better yet, help me with hands-on 1x1 romance plots), I'd really appreciate it. Fandoms are fine provided I'm familiar with them, and I don't really care what role I get- although my personal forte is psychopaths.
My best work at faking it (in my own opinion) has come from my (extremely unfortunate) multiple-use character Sara Kiwi, who for some strange reason always winds up being shoehorned (read: I was told to write a romantic subplot featuring a specific character, so I did) into going after someone who will not or cannot reciprocate. She's on my character page, if you're interested.
