The Perfect Influence

What if the person that changed you forever never actually forced you to do anything?
I’m looking for a writing partner interested in exploring a dark, slow-burn psychological roleplay centered around obsession, influence, temptation, and the gradual unraveling of a young woman who may not be quite as simple as she first appears.
This doesn’t just follow a girl being corrupted, but rather follows two people who become increasingly entangled with one another, and how much their relationship changes them. She could be the seemingly perfect girl everyone trusts, secretly fascinated by darker romance and obsessive relationships—or someone messier, more impulsive, and already struggling with parts of herself she doesn’t fully understand. He could be a calculated manipulator who recognizes those contradictions almost immediately. Or perhaps he’s simply someone who becomes fascinated by her and discovers, little by little, just how much influence he can have.
WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR
A partner who enjoys:
• Slow-burn storytelling
• Psychological manipulation and character studies
• Morally complicated characters
• Long-term character development
• Realistic consequences
• Uneasy relationships and shifting power dynamics
• Plotting together rather than following a predetermined script
• Collaborative worldbuilding
I’m particularly interested in someone who wants to create the manipulator with me rather than simply showing up with a pre-made “evil character.”
IMPORTANT
This is intended as a dark fictional psychological thriller. I want the characters to be treated as characters rather than romanticizing harmful real-world behavior.
If this sounds like something you’d enjoy building together, send me a message with a little about yourself, your writing style, and what kind of character you’d envision bringing into the story.
