  • [font='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif']Hello! Okay so I've been itching for some new threads lately and my muse/activity has shot up so I thought why not branch out and get back into the swing of things? I really don't want to ramble too much here since I just want to jump right in but I thought I'd just list a few things about my style of writing and then offer up some basic (and I mean basic[yikes]) skeletons of plots. Let me know if your interested in starting something, whether it be one of my v basic plot outlines or if you have some ideas of your own!!



    Things I'm totally down to do:
    -BxB
    -BxG
    -Realistic
    -Romance, as to be expected from a sap like myself
    -Soul Mates
    -Supernatural
    -Gangs/somethin' with some angst in it
    -Dark threads (?) don't really know my boundaries there but I've read a few detective ones and they seem pretty cool
    -Honestly probably anything as long as it has a solid plot line



    Things I'm iffy about/not into:
    -Fandoms (it's just that I really don't know much about any ;^;)
    -Abusive/cruelty/slave plots, they're just not my forte
    -Average, run of the mill high school plots (nothing against them, I've just been played out by those over the years)
    -Anything too crazy sci-fi related/time travel


    *Probably forgot to list a few things, but I'm sure you get the gist of it!



    Okay so I'd like to say I'm pretty advanced in my posts. If it's a low muse kind of day I'll probably put out like 3 ish paragraphs per post, but on a normal day it could be 5 or more. It doesn't matter to me whether the thread is in first or third person, whichever you prefer. I don't have any touchy subjects when it comes to plots, so have at it! Swearing/mature situations are also a-okay with me.


    So for plot ideas, I have a small handful. Some are from tumblr, some are my own, and some are a mix of a bunch. I'll just give a couple of blurbs of ideas down below and if you're into any of them feel free to PM me or talk to me here, whichever you prefer. Or if you have any ideas of your own feel free to share, I don't bite! ;v;



    Plot 1:
    Muse a was involved with their significant other for like 3 years and was engaged to them and lived with them and everything until the day they found out that their s/o was having an affair. Muse a didn’t hesitate to move out, now having nowhere to live until their best friend, muse b came in. Muse b had been terribly in love with muse a ever since they were young, and is glad to let muse a stay with them. Muse a happily accepts and moves into muse b’s tiny excuse of an apartment. Now sharing everything with them, muse b helps muse a through the breakup, late night talks and cries and trips to the store since muse a is just trying to get back on track and sort things out. And then one night after they've been living together for a while it just all comes out of muse b in a whole jumble of “hey i’ve been in love with you for years now sURPRISE." After having a super real conversation and then one of them can leave all confused and they have to figure out whether they can do this or not.



    Plot 2:
    Something involving soul mates where two characters have known each other for a while and muse a just loathes the idea of soul mates since their own mother was a hardcore believer in it and ended up with an awful husband/life. But the name of your soul mate appears onto one's body at age 13 and obviously they're much older than 13 so muse a has just refused to look. Muse b is in the same boat, and tries to throw the whole soul mate thing to the wind while trying to find love the 'natural' way. I haven't figured out where they could meet, like at a diner or something, and they just hit it off and again this is in the super beginning stages but one thing leads to another and one catches sight of their own name on the other's arm and just isn't sure what to do.



    Plot 3:
    Something where this detective has been following this criminal for ages, trying to pin them down but keeps coming up empty handed. But the criminal knows they're being chased after, so they completely make a game out of it by dropping hints and acting interested in them. Still haven't figured this one out all the way but I think this is one that sort of writes itself as we go along.



    Plot 4:
    Haven't thought of anything for this one yet but maybe something with gangs idk aaaaaaaaaaaaa I just have really high muse and want to come up with something with someone that we're both super into



    If any of these caught your eye let me know! Or if you have anything you want to add/test out, also let me know! Seriously, I'm sure you know the drill and I'm sure you can tell I'm down for anything.

  • *slides in*
    yes hello hi i have far too many threads but oh well

    okay but literally all of those have caught my eye and i'm
    why am i so indecisive

    uhmmm i'd be chill with doing plot two but????? gangs are super lit and yes?????? asahasudfohias murder my indecisive ass pls
    would you mind doing a bxb thread with a gang plot or plot two?????? i'm down with either, yo

  • yesyesyesyESYESYES I am SO glad you chose two because even though I really poorly threw it out there I was kinda hoping someone would take it


    okay but I'm also completely 110% down to play something w/gangs so I too am in the same indecisive boat uuuuuummmmmmm


    this is complete overkill but I was going to say maybe both???? like they could be rival gang leaders but they also have a thing for each other & are all playful and flirty but at the same time wanna kill each other and one day one sees their own name on the other and is like !!!!!


    but it's totally up to you my friend. and I just realized I totally didn't help with your decision at all buuuuuuuut if you're feelin' some sort of way about any plot in particular or want to combine or literally do anything I'm completely down with that

  • OKOK that's perfect eeeEEeeeeeeE


    oml yes
    let us smol indecisive nerds unite


    omf yesyesyesyes i approve 100%???????? like yes

    that would be amazing and uhm??????? i'd be completely down with doing that pLS

    honestly????? you did more than i've done in like the past forty years

    okay okay so something very loosely supernatural- won't be a huge part of the plot but it could be there.


    thinking something like this?


    of course, we could tweak it or add more as we go if you like it!

  • [font='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif']@ serenity - !!!!yes!!!!! we figured it out!!! oml
    I'm v excited about this okay just a few general questions & then I can make the thread if you want
    •any preference in writing pov? I have a couple threads in third person and a couple in first so it doesn't matter to me
    •any preference in role/character? I don't have any set characters I want to bust out since I'm pretty off the cuff w/stuff like that so idk I'll just sort of let my own guy take shape
    •uuuuuuuuhhhhh ok I think that's all I got I'm so hype ab this it can be cute & angsty & im here for all of this



    @satyne - I love that!!! any preference in what role you want to do??

  • alrighty! c: if you're busy i'm always willing tp make the thread, though that might take forever since i have been notorious for my laziness sos
    - i didn't really mind either, but since i usually write in third person, i'd probably go with that! or else we'd be stuck here forever trying to decide which one, whooops
    - hmmm not really? i usually let my characters develop over the rp or else????? i'll write down for one of my characters to be a badass, delinquent-ish person but then they'll end up be a smol puppy and honestly i need help
    that's why i never have people do forms for threads though the main reason is because i'm a lazy ass tbh
    - yessss????? just know i am the god of angst????? though fluff is honestly chill too, even though i hate romance and things with a fiery passion?????? tbh we should have both, bc... clearly we can't decide well between two things
    i'm such a sad person honestly

  • omg yes I'm so excited okay so I have some work & stuff I need to do but I have no problem making the thread


    it won't take me 10 years to do but but I'm thinkin' sometime between today and early saturday maybe??? is that okay?? I definitely should set a deadline for myself or else I'll just lay around and think about writing it and get all excited about it but still be too lazy to go through the process of typing it up
    but I know once I start it'll just all flow out ok I need to stop the thread will be up soon I promise & I'll pm it to you


    now I'm gonna sit here for the rest of my life and try to think of the title which is the hardest part skrjekrjwkrnsken don't worry I got this under control

  • You're getting a bunch of love (hey @Pym <3), and I don't know how many plots you actually want to engage in, but I'd enjoy doing something with gangs! I love all things dark, and certainly wouldn't mind trying something new.


    A bit about me, first of all: I usually do around 600 words, or 4-5 good sized paragraphs. As long as I'm given a decent amount to play off of, I make sure to turn it around and give a lot as well. Of course, the better the plot, the higher the muse I'll have, in general. I play either gender, and primarily do GxB (though a bit of BxB, on occasion). I've been having terrible luck getting steady partners, which might be due to my low muse and sometimes sporadic posting due to irl stress, so I must warn you in advance.


    Also, I already have some general ideas flowing, so I'd love to build them into an actual plot with you!

  • Ahh awesome post op! We have really similar interests ;u;


    I'm really into bxb, dark/sad, gang, and horror plots, and also the occasional gentle romance plot which often will have a sad twist to it. I do have a list of my own plots that fall in these categories that I could post here, but otherwise I quite enjoy plot 3!


    About me, I usually write 600 to 1000 word posts if the muse is doing well, and the only thing I don't do on your list is bxg and soulmates

  • I'm so happy this thread is getting so much love lately! ;v; I was like 90% sure it had officially died off but I'm psyched that it's up & running again!!


    I feel so so so so so bad for not answering anybody, and I promise I didn't fall off the face of the earth yet. Right now I have a bunch of exams and stuff so I've been pretty inactive. And when I am active I'm super drained so I'd feel awful leaving a sub-par reply especially after wanting to be advanced ;^; But once my schedule clears up in about two-ish weeks I would love to start up threads with everyone!! From what I've read I'm completely down with everyone's ideas, so I feel like instead of flooding this why don't we start PMing one on one? Maybe it'll help to streamline things?? omg okay all of this activity has made me so excited and full of muse again and you all seem so sweet & fun to start threads with so let's finally get this started after I've neglected everyone for 8 million years
