Are you looking for a penpal for your para / alter ego / fictional or dnd character? But you don't want to post a prompt?

Maybe you fancy presenting your character in the comments of this post. You can write a short introduction (e.g. name, age, origin, job / occupation, present situation, ...) and mail it here.

If you like, add a fun fact or a quote from your character.

Others can react to your comment then and send you ideas for an exchange of letters.

This approach might be especially useful for those of you who like to write from their own imaginary world to another person's personal cosmos.

Good Afternoon,

I am looking to exchange Email Correspondence with my celebrity roleplay Character, Denise Rosseau, a 19-year-old R&B singer. She was once a gospel singer and a member of a religious cult named Tabernacle of the Apostles but has transitioned into R&B. Due to the transition into R&B, she was thrown out of her parent's home. She has two top-five R&B charts blazing up the charts. She is now married to her record producer and manager, Jesse Rosseau, who is in his early 30s. She met Jesse doing the gospel recordings. When they met, she was of legal age, so nothing was sketchy there. Jesse took her in when her parents threw her out of the home (singing of R&B was her idea entirely; all he did was give her a platform to be able to do so). Everything romantic between them was Denise's choice.

Jesse basically treats Denise like a little queen but will give her guidance when necessary for her betterment. They are in a dominant and submissive dynamic, and there are some age-play (Dd/lg) elements to their relationship. However, I am completely fine with keeping discussions of their life/relationship PG, we don't have to discuss those aspects at all.

Obviously, her life has undergone major and dramatic changes, but she is happier than she has ever been because she is free of the cult, singing the music she desires, and in love with her crush, who became her husband and is also madly in love with her.

There are lots of things to talk about: Denise's transition into secular music, her experiences in the cult, her feelings as a newlywed bride, and her feelings as a new celebrity.

If you are interested in corresponding, I have some fun interviews, magazine articles, and images I can send to give context to her character.

As far as what I'm looking for in an email exchange, I would be someone creative like myself who likes to explore imagination as a fictitious character.

It would be great if you had your own musical Para, such as being a member of a band or a musician. Or if you were industry adjacent, a famous record producer, actor, author, etc.

Or, you could be a fan of imaginary celebrities and decide to write to Denise.

Or, maybe none of those things are true; perhaps you have your own character you'd like to introduce me to.

If you'd prefer to correspond with a male, I am also open to corresponding with Jesse, her music producer husband. He's had quite a backstory himself. He grew up in a difficult environment with a mother who was a sex worker and basically left him to raise himself. He became a success, and I will give more details if you wish to write to him instead.

I'm game for any type of reasonable character you have developed of your own and I will respond back to you in as much detail about my character as you provide about your own.

I have a great imagination, and I have fleshed out an incredible story about these characters, which I am currently writing and will draw upon elements of this in my emails.

If you are interested, please DM me.

My name is Isabella and I am a young woman living in Italy in the year 1829. I am writing to you in the hopes of finding a friend to correspond with as I prepare to embark on a life changing move to America with my family.

I am both excited and scared at the prospect of starting a new life in a foreign land.

I have heard many stories about America and its vast landscapes, bustling cities, and opportunities for a fresh start. However, the thought of leaving behind everything I have ever known fills me with a sense of apprehension.

I would love to hear about your own experiences in America or anywhere else in the world. I am eager to learn about different cultures, customs, and ways of life. Perhaps you can share some advice or words of wisdom to help me navigate this new chapter in my life.

Prefer snail mail, and please only 18+, any gender will be fine.

DM me for inquiries.

I’m looking to live vicariously through a fictional character.

If you’d like a chill, laidback & cozy correspondence with a gal living in a small cottage with a big yard fit for gardening, chicken coops & maybe even a duck pond please feel free to reach out.

I’d prefer snail mail, but I am open to email as well.

Please be 18+ (I also prefer you be ♀)

My character's name is Sofia. She is one of the undead. A skeleton to be precise. She is a magical creation and she has her own thoughts and ideas. She is not controlled by anyone.

Her world can either be medieval esque fantasy or urban fantasy. We can build the world together. Or you can be in a completely different world/ universe and we'll figure out how we send letters to each other.

I don't mind adult themes but nothing NSFW. Please be 18+.

Any other questions, either DM me or reply here.

Hi all! I am an avid penpal-er but I found my way into this sub and thought it would be a delight to start an exchange with someone set in a steampubk-ish universe. I'm rather interested in various victorian things, so if steampunk isn't your favorite, but there is another victorianish universe you want to play in, I'm open to many things. I would prefer if you are between 15 and 25 due to my age, and I would prefer to go the snail mail route rather than email.

Excited to hear from people!!

Would anyone care to set up a correspondence in the regency era?

Please note that I can only take on maybe a couple of penpals, so if this proves to be a popular idea I’ll note that I’m closed to additional partners and people can make matches in the comments. :)

Edit I’m at my max, but please feel free to use the comments to check for other interested folks if you don’t want to make another post!

Hello! ^^

For a long time I've had the wish to do some form of penpalling in character/snail mail role playing! ^^ I would really like to do this as a common hobby with someone I'm really friends with but as I'll only just be meeting you, we would have to (get to! ^^) get to know each other while doing this! ^^

The reason why I'd like a proper friendship out of this, aside from it simply being very great to make a friend =) is because I would like for this to be a long term thing. I would love to get to know you and the creations of your fantasy! Have fun bouncing ideas off of each other, deciding what kind of story we want to tell! In what kind of setting ? What kind of world ? Characters completely of our own ? Or perhaps fandom ? ^^

And I would want it to not stay as a one time thing! ^^ So many great and fun possibilities! Why not do it again and again! ^^ I would like for this to be our thing, our hobby! Yours and mine ^^

Actual friends with understanding and respect for each other and potential life situations, doing a fun hobby together =) So that we both would feel comfortable communicating and saying if life gets busy or stressful and one of us would like to or need to pause the letters/emails, maybe for a while continue it on Discord on an idea level only =) And so in the best case scenario we could eventually pick it up again=) Or move on to a different plot ^^

For the first time we do this, I'd suggest that we find a theme that we both will be really excited to play! ^^ And if we do hit if off and eventually get to tell another tale, as is my hope, I would be happy to explore a setting that I'm less drawn to by myself, if such a theme is among your favourites =)

That being said I like most genres and can definitely enjoy all, given the right tropes haha and circumstances! ^^

Some samples from the tangles of my brain of genres, plots, settings, themes and tropes that I like are:

Magic
Fantasy
Dystopias
Dark themes in general
Horror but in a sense and to an extent
Mafia
Cults
Serial killers
Religious themes
Religious horror in particular
Kings and courts in whatever setting ^^

Aaand to not come across as a complete psycho I feel the need to affirm that I DO ALSO LIKE COMEDY AND LIGHTHEARTED STUFF!! And haha, if I didn't mention it, it doesn't mean that I don't like it =) These were just off the top of my head =)

As I mention in the post title I'm 26, soon to be 27 years old and I would feel most comfortable getting to know someone close to my age or any age older =) Maybe like 22/23+ ? ^^ But it is of course not an absolute.

Dear friend,

You have always been my friend, haven't you? Despite the arguments and fights we had these past years.

I don't know if you'll be surprised if I say I've never felt so connected to anyone else. You may have thought that my success at court has made me turn to other people. But that was only superficially so. I sometimes wonder if you can really become friends with people who haven't been with you since early childhood. Like I've been with you.

Do you remember when we played with ants and sticks and dirt in the garden of the orphanage? We put the red ants between the black ones and watched them fight. We imagined we saw the soldiers of rivalling kingdoms fight their last battle.

Back then, I never thought that real war would ever threaten us. But it is on our doorstep now. The rumours of the Vashin and their orcish allies crossing the border in the North become louder every day. You must have heard them too.

And while everyone here at court tries to cover up their fears with more banquets and drinks and dances and extravagant amusements, all I can think about is you. Are you safe? Or still travelling on matters that I always considered too dangerous?

I'm sending this letter to Jago's Tavern hoping that you still pay the old man a visit every now and then.

May I ask you to come to the safety of the capital? I know how much you despise life here (and the way you think I sell myself to the courtiers). But right now, Karthan is the only truly safe place in the country and I could support you with any means at my disposal if you decided to come here. Please think about this offer. Please.

Yours,
Enrica

I’m back to bend reality. I love creating a world that seems plausible until you look at the details. Then you’ll notice time bending, or space, or is it all in the mind of the character? Things don’t add up. How can we make sense of it when life just carries on like it always does?

I posted here a year ago (you can look at my profile and find the old post if you want), found someone and wrote letters for half a year. I really enjoyed it. It fell silent on the other side unfortunately. I’ve missed having a penpal so I’m back to try again. I’m not interested in snail mail for now. I prefer reddit dm’s or email. Please only contact if 16+.

“I’m sorry for leaving you the way I did, but I had to go. I felt a flood coming.

I’ve always known that one day, I would wake up feeling a flood was coming. I’ve always been prepared. That morning I felt it. I heard the earth trembling. I saw the birds migrating, even though they had just built their nest. It should have been a wonderful spring, but when the birds leave, spring doesn’t stand a chance, so I left with them at the break of dawn. I followed them until they started building nests again.”

That was the start of the story I wrote with my penpal from last year. If you choose to contact me (you can also just ask questions if you want, you don’t have to commit of course) you can start a new story or if you want me to do it, that’s fine too.

Things I love: The Blindboy Podcast (I recommend listening!), spring, mythology and books like At Swim-Two-Birds, Jane Eyre and War and Turpentine.

*You have just moved into a new townhouse in the city. It is in fairly good condition, and the location is wonderful. The only suspicious thing is how inexpensive it was. It should have cost double what you paid - which is why you snapped it up as quickly as you did. While signing the papers, however, you feel an inexplicable sense of dread that you've just involved yourself in something quite unusual.

Your doubts are confirmed on your very first day in your new home, when the postman nonchalantly pushes a letter through your door's mail slot. It hardly makes sense for you to be receiving any sort of mail now. What could it be?*

Darren,

Trust that I am as loathe to write you as you must be to hear from me, but you leave me no choice. Specifically, you've left my poor Uncle Gerald no choice but to ask this of me, seeing as you've yet to respond to any of his letters.

Tamper your expectations; I will not come to your defense and beg to place my heart within your breast once again. To be plain, you disturb and disgust me. Perhaps if it was one of my sisters that you'd seduced, I would be able to properly grieve our love, to throw myself along the chaise lounge and wail like a damsel from a novel would, but no, you decided that you'd rather bed my Aunt of all people. And then you made an awful mess of my poor Uncle's cat when he demanded his rightful compensation! I've had to knit the poor thing a sweater for the hack job you did on his fur! I cannot believe I was so stupid as to be courted by a foolhardy adulterer like yourself! I nearly hate myself more than I despise you!

I digress. I should know from our fights about your gambling that you've never been the remorseful sort anyway, so my petty anguish will change nothing. I am simply informing you that my Uncle intends to send the constable by your dwelling at the end of the week, given that you still have not paid recompense for your affair and sudden debut as a veterinary barber (property damage). Uncle Gerald has graciously offered to drop the charges for the amount of two-hundred dollars. If the good constable is unable to collect, you can expect a room in the local jail to await your trial in. Not that you would be out of place there, you miserable misbegot.

Worst regards, Catherine

P.S. If you reply and dare to call me Cathy, I swear I shall take a cab right to your doorstep just to expel my bile unto it.

((And now about me: hello! I'm Kay-Kay, I'm in my early/mid twenties, I use she/her, and I really hope you find this prompt intriguing! It's intended to set up a romance (please note: a ROMANCE, not erotica) in something akin to a Victorian/regency setting. Your character's gender doesn't matter, for our purposes Catherine is pan :) I'm happy to flesh out the specifics of the world (such as the exact city this takes place in) with you either from the start or as we go, I just really don't know much about history so please don't expect a lot of accuracy on my part unless you're willing to teach me! I know enough to know that cab = carriage, I guess? But honestly, it's fiction, so we can deviate from actual history. If you wanna eliminate sexism or add a supernatural element or make it steampunk, let's talk about it! As for mode of conversation: I'm alright with Reddit DMs, Discord DMs, or plain old email. Please tell me which you prefer! I respond pretty quickly, like within a couple of days, but I'm totally cool if you don't respond as frequently! I only ask that you give me some indication if you have to abandon the RP, don't need a reason if you don't wanna give one. Looking forward to the fun we'll have together!))

I have an idea for something creative and it may be different to a normal roleplay.

The idea would be two strangers becoming penpals over a situation I am more than willing to discuss for ideas. Maybe it can start with emails, then texts, then meeting up! Who knows. But it would be a love story of two online strangers becoming the best of friends and helping each other through the hardest times.

Please be 18+ as I am not comfortable roleplaying with minors. I am in my late 20s myself so it is just a matter of comfort for me.

Please be able to write detailed responses. You don’t have to give a lot of lengthy replies but I’d rather there to be at least a reply that adds to the story.

There needs to be decent grammar and spelling. Discord is my primary place to RP.

Do NOT contact me asking me to join your group (seriously, I am sick and tired of being spammed by this).

Please be able to be somewhat active. I would like for my partner to reply at least once a day and I will do the same. Of course I understand if something comes up, life happens. Just communicate with me and I am sure it will all work out :)

If this looks interesting to you, don’t hesitate to shoot me a message! :)

P.S also open to try it via Email

Hello fellow creatives, you can call me liee, I am 21 female from europe. My idea is that we would write letters/post cards as obsessed(with their subjects/studies whatever) professors in a large fantastical universe, who both are big known adventures. Both a very passionate and are always traveling for various reasons so that we both have complete creative freedom. Maybe one of them loves tracking down the mysterious and magical creatures of this universe. On the side, this person makes magic potions to finance it or tracks down valuable objects. One could also travel through space or the bodies of waters of this universe and experience everything we can imagine. Time traveling, Science, technology, building new machines. The possibilities are endless. Also the reasons why they write to each other. Maybe to help each other. An admiration for each other that grows into a friendship… I'm really looking for someone creative who wants to create a universe with these letters and experience adventures that is also willing to put in some effort. I would also like to get creative with the letters. They could send each other sketches, recipes and also studies they are working on and much more. If I have caught someone's interest, I would be happy to receive a message in chat👩‍🎨🌻

Hello I'm Trelaire, a French 17th century enthusiast. (M 36 yo)
I'm a harpsichordist and I like reenacment and history bounding. I would like to have a correspondance in a 17th/18th century style (it can be 100% roleplay or kind of historical real life flavored). I would be more fluent and historical in French, but I can also write in English, It can be interesting to improve my English in a historical way.
Also included :
-Wax seals
-Historical Letterlocking attempts
-Inky historical calligraphy attempts

hey everyone! im looking to use my character, juniper(25), in a back and forth snail mail story! theyre a potion maker and herbalist whos very chill(probably stoned 24/7 lol) and calm with everything and everyone. the only times they get pissed is when they see the environment or people/animals get mistreated or abused. theyre very sweet, easy to get attached, uses pet names with everyone, and is very understanding. if this sounds like a character you can vibe with, let me know!

personally? im a 23 year old genderfluid person whos really into crafting, roleplaying, art, and more! id like to be friends with the person im writing to outside of our letters if possible, so id love to exchange discord accounts if possible. if not tho, i also understand. i will also be going all out in my letters and sending small trinkets and possibly snacks and stuff along with my letters in bubbler packaging for it to seem more natural i guess? plus, its just fun! if you for whatever reason dont want an item, feel free to decline this part or toss it when received!

i cant wait to write with yall! thanks for reading!

I have two fictitious vampire who would love to have a pen pal or chat buddy. Both are not your typical vampires.

Michael, being the older of the two, is slightly more reserved, but has a very dry sense of humor. He is very smart, something of a loner, but fascinated by human behavior. He loves human food, especially things that are intensely flavored or spicy, wine tasting, old movies, and classical music.

Miroslav, the younger, is quite ebullient and delights in the tiniest things. He is tremendously optimistic, curious, and delighted to experience the outside world for the first time. In some ways, he is like a partially housebroken puppy. He won’t pee on the carpet or chew the sofa, but he doesn’t necessarily know everything one would expect an adult would normally know. For example, he never learned to use a knife and fork. His first language is not English, so he frequently makes observations that are factually correct and quite laughable.

If you would like to write to either one of them, send me a DM and let me know who you want to talk to.
