StoryDevs is a site for narrative-focused game, visual novel, and interactive fiction developers. When registering users can optionally specify their pronouns.

Among other things users will be able to create profiles that double as resumes and portfolios. People looking to collaborate can then search those profiles by criteria such as availability, skillset, compensation type, etc.
