Okay, so what do you want to do?
I could do fantasy, the entire soundtrack to lord of the rings being stuck in my head as it is.
Aha. That's a fantastic soundtrack. I have Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene by Hozier stuck in my head, actually.
I have a few plot ideas written up if you want to see them, or I can hear yours out.

I'll hear (read) yours if I may. I didn't come prepared.
Alrighty then.
1- Girl A has had an evil entity attached to her ever since she could remember, brought on by the man she knows as her father. The entity takes over at random times, and Girl A cannot control it. She's been raised to protect herself from this demon and her father, but she's closed off from everyone else. When she meets Boy A, she's the same with him, but he pushes to be friends with her, unknowing about her entity. What Girl A doesn't know is that Boy A is a young angel, bred to be a demon hunter. The two grow closer without knowing this special information about the other until they share a kiss, and both feel a very specific pain. Boy A instantly shuns Girl A away, but he feels bad and returns to help protect her from her father and try to rid her of the entity (we can go from there)
2- A young girl is raised by her adopted grandmother far off into a woods, going to school and doing mostly normal stuff, until she becomes a teenager and is forced to learn fighting techniques and weird things she doesn't understand (but doesn't question). When she's turned an adult, her grandmother won't allow her to leave for college but makes her stay and take care of her in her ailing health. After a year or so of this, one day the girl goes out to do a nature photography shoot and comes upon a strange man who's extremely injured and doesn't speak English. The girl of course helps him, but as soon as he's able he takes off without a word.
Without the girl knowing, this 'man' secretly follows her around town, interested in the near-child who saved his life. Eventually he ends up greeting her again, and she finds out he's an angel, and she's being raised to be a demon hunter, but her boyfriend is a demon.
3- All her life, a young woman has been raised to believe the man who abuses her is her father, but when she's about twenty-one, she goes out into the woods bordering her house and runs into a strange man and accidentally eludes to her abuse. This man offers to help her, but she cannot accept as she knows how her 'father' will react. She instead secretly starts meeting with him, eventually coming to find out he's not human. (This can be done as human X supernatural or unknown supernatural X supernatural.)

Hmm. I was perhaps hoping for something a little grander. Romances do little to hold my interest, if I must be frank. Have you anything else?
Not currently, unfortunately. I didn't mean to make it out as if it has to be a romance- sorry.
What I read into your 3 plots:1) Possessed girl and the boy who can save her
2) female demon hunter to be and the foreign slightly creepy angel she saved
3) abused female and the superhuman that tries to save her
Now, don't get me wrong, these don't have to be entirely centred on a romantic aspect. However, give the tendencies of most female role players I have personally encountered, they will become so, and they will leave my role as a joyless author appeal. Again, though, this is just my limited experience.
Well, I have, in past, done friends/allies-only roleplays, but if you seem to think the female
writer is incapable of writing from a nom-romantic perspective, then maybe you would be better off finding a male or unbinary author to go be sexist with.

I mean no offence, and I had thought I established already that that particular sentiment was based entirely off my experiences. It is a stereotype based off a statistical demographic of my experience. And, indeed, as I further stated, that stance has not been held by every single female I have roleplayed with. Nonetheless, I apologise for any offence I caused; it was wrong to implicate a judgement based on your gender.
Well, if you end up with a 'grander' plot idea later, I might be willing to try it.
I didn't mean to flip out like that, but I have had problems with sexism in writing, and it pisses me off. Those three were just ones I had saved, and it did seem like I'm obsessed with romance (contrary, I'm personally not a romantic).

It is good this is resolved then, and don't worry: I've two sisters who are keen feminists who never fail to point out chauvinism or patriarchy wherever it rears its head. In the mean time.... Would you be willing to read some writings of mine? It may even spur your mind to inspiration.
Eh. Mostly I just like starting fights.
That was a joke.
Sure, I can do that. What do you have?

I have... So much stuff I can't even remember all of it. I'll put a link.
I haven't had the chance to read any yet. I'll try to get to it tonight.
It's cool. Just nice to see you're back.
By the way, I love Phantom of the Opera :D
