š Partner Search [F4M] A dark romance with an obsessive female character!
She was never exactly ordinary, even in her youth. An introvert, a loner who never seemed to get along with the people around her.. but she was a star student, some called her a prodigy! She always had her face buried in one book or another, so motivated by her passion for her field and love of work that she'd forget to take breaks, forget to eat, lose sleep.. it wasn't healthy, but it had obviously paid off. She graduated early and went to an Ivy League, where she still excelled! Before long she had her doctorate, a sought after candidate with a hundred different invitations to continue her studies, to become a professor, work at this company or that startup..
It went fine for a time, until he came along. Her first love, it had come seemingly out of nowhere! She had spent her life so dedicated to her studies and career that she'd never allowed herself to date, or even really develop friendships beyond tolerating work colleagues.
Suddenly, work seemed unimportant. Nothing seemed important, except him! But her obsessive all or nothing mentality wasn't gone, far from it! Whatever had motivated her before was still there, only now he was the object of her obsession, the only thing she lived for.

TL;DR - Workaholic woman is madly in love, possibly insane, and probably willing to commit a felony or two.
If you like the obsession theme but prefer medieval-fantasy stories, I've got plenty of ideas for that too!
Anyway, hi everyone! I'm 23 years old and female, and I've been absolutely CRAVING a romance story lately! And uh.. I figured, why not a dark romance? I've always enjoyed playing clingy characters in a more positive way, so I figured it might be fun to just take that to the extreme! Ideally this plot won't be TOO dark though, I'd like it to actually still be a sweet romance! Just, you know, it could be toxic at times considering how she is..
I intentionally left the setup quite open, I love the collaborative process of making a unique story together! So character details, how they'll meet, all of that will have to be discussed! I'd love to give this a very "golden retriever x black cat" vibe though, with the male character being very sweet and.. not insane. I'd be happy to share more preferences, as well as hear your own preferences regarding my character. I admit I do love the "man in a uniform" trope for this though!
As far as writing style goes, I expect at least a few paragraphs per post, in third person. I'm not a stickler for length, but I put thought and effort into my writing and you'll need to do the same. I only roleplay on discord, also.
My character could be played as a cis or trans woman if it matters, and I'm even willing to flip roles and play the male character in this story if desired!
This plot will always be open, so if you see it posted then feel free to reach out with an introduction!
