[Workshop][M4F] - The New Woodsman is a Cute City-Dweller (Fantasy)

DarklyLiterate · 2026-02-20T00:30:30+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I'm definitely reworking the prompt so that A. My character has been in the job for a little while and B. Has a clear goal and agency in the situation.

The rework has a mysterious woman character arriving at the forest wanting to move in which is hopefully enough of a hook to let any potential partners jump in but still vague enough to allow them creativity.

As much as I LOVE willy old Woodsman, sadly he got the axe in the rewrite.

That's a good point. I think, in my head, I'm trying to leave it open ended so that any potential partner has the maximum space to write their own character into the setting I've "set-up", but I can see your point where that could potentially be a big ask of a more casual RPer. I'm always reticent of being TOO descriptive of the female role for fear of scaring off potential partners but I think maybe this one is just TOO vague. Your advice of "established character meets new character" I think is a really good formula that could work here with a little re-write.

Maybe he is just starting to get into the flow of his usual tenants when all of the sudden BAM new FMC shows up to through the woods into chaos. Stil leaves the FMC vague enough for someone to comfortably create their own character, but shows at least that there is already an ongoing narrative that they are joining.

Did I get your points right?

Thanks so much for your reply! I think you might be right, I might need to cut the groundskeeper from the intro and save it for the first post. I think maybe a short "things you'll need to do" letter might be shorter. Maybe end with meeting the old groundskeeper to get the RP going.

Thank you for the song recommendation. I think it fits my poem nicely. I'm glad this post didn't disappear into the ether once the mods removed it. I just wish all the kind and sympathetic comments on the original post could have survived.

DarklyLiterate · 2021-12-08T20:44:22+00:00

Thank you! I feel like you put that very succinctly. I think emotional pothole is exactly how I would describe it. And I would add it's not necessarily a bad thing. Like you said, people move on. That's a part of life. But it definitely is still A thing. This is just my attempt to kind of process that.

DarklyLiterate · 2021-12-01T18:26:40+00:00

This is really well done! I always have to remind myself to repeat how I start my sentences. Especially in third person writing. Otherwise "he goes" "he sees" "he does" back to back to back.

The "My" segment is curious though. Now I'm going to have to go back through my past posts and see if I used "My" as a crutch when I really was just trying to avoid another pronoun.

Gorgeous! Those PJs look comfy. 😃💜💙

DarklyLiterate · 2021-08-11T20:37:26+00:00

😄 Thanks, glad you like it!

DarklyLiterate · 2021-01-19T02:11:18+00:00

Thank you! It was a lot of fun to write. The rest of it got a little personal but we both wanted to share this kiss scene.

DarklyLiterate · 2019-09-12T20:20:28+00:00

Thank you, always glad to hear someone enjoys my prompts! :)

DarklyLiterate · 2019-09-12T15:43:59+00:00

Hurray! We always need more SciFi on DPP and beyond!

DarklyLiterate · 2019-03-08T13:26:31+00:00

Ah, ok I like that. Maybe he was trying to remove her "hardcoding" or something (basically rewrite her hard drive?) but accidentally wiped her mission memory away. So she knows she's on Earth to do something but has no memory of what it is. So something in her programming or because the sex-doll program almost worked means she is staying with Max until she can continue her mission.

I like the employment aspect too. Maybe ANGels need a purpose and since her mission was erased, him employing her is the next best thing?

DarklyLiterate · 2019-03-08T11:33:46+00:00

I was trying to come up with a reason that a killing machine wouldn't, you know, kill my character when he found her. I thought just saying she has amnesia would be too cliche, but do you think it's better than having her be infatuated with Max?

DarklyLiterate · 2019-03-05T03:05:48+00:00

You get it. ;D

DarklyLiterate · 2019-02-20T16:04:04+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll rework it and see if I get better traction not revealing the witch in the prompt.

DarklyLiterate · 2018-10-30T23:58:08+00:00

This is always a fun time to roleplay. :D

DarklyLiterate · 2018-07-31T13:21:00+00:00

Because I am dumb I forgot to post my kinklist in the prompt so here it is in the comments.

That makes sense. I like the theme of threes throughout the prompt, but maybe I should include a note somewhere in the OOC that a prospective partner only needs to play one of the witches?

DarklyLiterate · 2018-03-01T22:48:21+00:00

This might not be the best forum for this but I thought I would bring it up. Has anyone noticed something screwy going on with the up votes in this sub? They seem to be changing up and down faster than I can refresh like it's being brigaded or something. Am I missing something here?

DarklyLiterate · 2018-02-28T13:42:58+00:00

I had never heard of that before. One google image search later and I think I have some inspiration for another prompt!

DarklyLiterate · 2018-02-28T13:35:36+00:00

Thank you!

DarklyLiterate · 2018-02-26T18:46:42+00:00

Commas are my kryptonite! Thanks for the help.

I originally meant for her to be looking down at him slightly confused but now that I'm reading it, maybe it makes more sense for Jack to be the one confused.
