I've been meaning to reply to this for a couple days now, but it's been slipping my mind. Here's the deal, learned from my own experience. Usually just opening a thread and saying, "Hey guys, let's write together" won't be enough to get anyone interested in writing with you. Unfortunately for you, most of the In Character relationships going on right now were developed during the first couple weeks of the Scramble, when we got our big influx of players. Fortunately for you, Omni has recently posted an event which will most likely draw quite a few characters to it. My suggestion? Hop in on this event, write with a few people, talk to them OOC via the thread, and start working on figuring out a way, with anyone who's interested, in writing together.
Of course, it might not work out for you even then, but you'll have a better chance of picking up someone to write with during an event or story than just by putting out an invitation. Another suggestion would be to have a specific place you want your story to go to. For example, myself, Thaal, and Eighteen discussed at length where our story was going to end up before we started writing together. We left the details vague to allow us some creative freedom, but having an end goal for your story AND your character will greatly help you with your personal writing, as well as getting people interested in where your story is going.
