Ravioli, ravioli give me my formuoli freedom.
Heh-...ahem- anyways. Quarantine burnout aside. As you can see this is a stick u- I mean request thread.
Totally a request thread. But the point I was getting to so ever agonizingly slowly for probably most of you suckers wonderful readers is that I want to write. But not just any sort of writing, oh ho- no no no no. I want the sweet sweet juicy partnership. So as you can see, I have a dilemma, and one that can't be solved by murder or any amount of pizza delivery- I tried. All it does is soften the ever consuming desire. There lies the problem, I have two choices.
suffer....eat...
suffer....eat...
OR I COULD MAKE A THREAD.
which is exactly what I did~
I want to write and I want to do it now. Or well, as soon as I find the wonderful reader who will swoop in and save me from this dark abyss. I have to wonder if you're them~ Alas, I have to be mean right now. Because while I'm sure you're not one of them, as you're currently reading this, I want partners who've read through everything. Know what they're getting into and are sure they actually would be happy in this partnership alongside the sad writer, me aha, and didn't just skip to whatever sex plots they want. So if by the end of this you're interested then please- tell me your favorite color. If you don't I'll ignore the pm, if you do congrats! You pass my very easy test~

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Basic Understanding
~First some rules about me!~
I'm fine with sex, or smut or whatever you want to call it. It can be pretty fun to write even!
Under the right circumstance. Look, it doesn't even have to be a slow burn, I simply want a story. If there IS sex I want it to feel right, feel like it belongs rather than simply shoved in there for kicks or like some cheap porno.
I don't have any of that smut/story ratio stuff. I don't think its so simple as saying, "I want this much story and this much sex please!" I mean- I wish but its not. In the end all I can say is that sex if fine and fun but it shouldn't overthrow the story and plot. It should add to it, like a fine spice~ But too much of that spice is certain to spoil the meal.
Those of you who are looking for a smut heavy story should be honest & tell me upfront that's what you are interest in so we can talk and figure out if we're a good mix.
Plots
More Plots will be added but they are constantly changing and I never have all of them up at one time so if a pairing or era concept catch ur attention don't hesitate to pm me on one of those instead of a plot~
Again, these plots tend to not have all the info on purpose & if there's no/little info on a 1 of 2 characters it's because there's too much info/what if possibilities for me to put up in risk of clutter. I want to talk about plots and characters with my partner and bounce ideas so if you want more info you'll have to pm me.
If these rough mini plots caught your attention then I'm happy to talk more shop with you~
Wow you made it to the end!
If somehow I haven't scared you away and you actually like any of this then feel free to pm me~
Just do me a favor and don't post here hehe...
Well what are you still doing lurking around here?
Message me or go on your way young one!
Only I'm allowed to nap here.
~First some rules about me!~
1.) I'm looking for a story. Not porn.
I'm fine with sex, or smut or whatever you want to call it. It can be pretty fun to write even!
Under the right circumstance. Look, it doesn't even have to be a slow burn, I simply want a story. If there IS sex I want it to feel right, feel like it belongs rather than simply shoved in there for kicks or like some cheap porno.

Those of you who are looking for a smut heavy story should be honest & tell me upfront that's what you are interest in so we can talk and figure out if we're a good mix.
2.) Communication
It's hard! Communication is so hard, and not in the fun way! -pun intended- ;) wait, don't leave, please-
But seriously, its hard. I know it is, I mean we're all complete strangers trying to mash words together to make a story work between us! Of course its hard! People are scary! I know I'm scary. Well, maybe not right now but I could be. Especially for someone shy about messaging! I bet I'm terrifying to shy people!
Alas, we need it. We need those words, those sweet bonding moments that bring us closer as we survive being thrown over a waterfall tied to a log. Its just cold hard facts.
I expect us to talk shop, by which I mean characters, plot and all that nice stuff. It won't end at the beginning either. Even as we finish talking and begin writing I expects there to be questions for both of us, times we struggle on our posts or with where we want to go in the story, and continued growth/ idea bouncing as we go along. So that means -gasp- continued interaction between us!
I know, I know....tis scary. Especially when you aren't sure if your ideas will be denied or questions come off as silly but oof, do I have a surprise for you! I'll probably love it and you're just overthinking.
I know, crazy right?
3.) Word count & schedules
Ah hah. The bane and fear of so many people, word count! Now before you panic, no, I don't have a ridiculous amount of rules and expectations you have to follow. That said I know for fact its something that needs to be gone over less our rapidly different post amounts/times take the wind out of each others sails.
I don't have any specific word count expectations.
Sometimes there will be times where I can write paragraphs upon paragraphs, waxing poetry with those plot lines on some freaky level, other times...chances are we'll write maybe 1-2 paragraphs as characters talk or fight so as not to control each others Oc's. Tis something that's normal and bound to happen. Personally I live by the minimum 300 word count so that if there's ever any doubt on whether or not I'm giving enough info I can at least make sure I give you something to work with. If you're ever stumped or don't know if you have enough to give feel free to use the same method. It helps cut down of stressing.
Post schedules are very similar with me on not having too much expectation. Not only is life crazy at the best of times but we are all bound to have writing slumps. Perfectly normal. So, that said, I like to use the 2 week method. If you or I have trouble posting we have a week to try and get over it & have time to relax between irl. If by the end of the 2nd week we still don't know how to write a reply or go forward we talk to each other and bounce ideas!
Not so scary right~
4.) PM ME!!!
Don't try to talk to me in this thread. Don't do it. I'll ignore you and be less inclined to partner with you since it shows you didn't bother reading through my post.
That wasn't so bad was it~
It was?... then you might wanna run now chief.
-------------------------------------------------
------------
~Second!~
Lets talk about sex~
Don't give me that look,
I know half of you were waiting for this!
Bloody hypocrites.
First things first-
1.) I typically don't do Bottoms & Top dynamics.
That whole dom/sub thing? Not really my cup of tea, chances are we will NOT work out if you come at me with that sort of dynamic. I know, its an unpopular view but I'm sticking with it and you should probably go ahead and leave now if that disappoints you.
Now if you're still reading then I'll go ahead and be more specific.
I tend to play, what people know as, switch or versatile characters. Give my characters the freedom to change, to grow and experiment or give me death. That whole pretty box of knowing whos always going to be leading and whos taking? Throw it out the window, shake it, throttle it; because chances are a characters tastes and preferences will change depending on their mood and what's going on. Maybe even change entirely if the story calls for it.
NOTE: A few have come to me not being truthful about their preferences, please understand those of you doing this are not being sneaky about it, I'm simply waiting to see if you're actually bullshitting me. I will call you out/block you if the problem continues. This does NOT include those who are new to this particular scene & have told/asked me for help with writing!
Again, please don't do this; I will not tolerate being manipulated. This includes those who play 'Doms'!!! I am absolutely positive that you wonderful people will have zero problems finding a sub player to write with if you look and while I am very flattered I am tired of the manipulation attempts to get me to play purely submissive characters.
2.) Kinks and Hard No's
I'm rather open minded with what people like. If you have something you like and want to try tell me, I'll probably be up for it. Maybe even into it like you! Yet I do still have some limits.
Some of the things I won't tolerate being....
-Rape
-Underage
-vore
-scat
-omega verse
-God modding (unless discussed before hand heh)
Not a very big list is it? So you should be fine!
3.) F List
Gosh I think that what its called?
Personally I don't have one, but I know some people do and like to use one as an easy way to show kinks they hate, love and all that in-between nonsense. If you're one of those people feel free to give me the list right off the bat, if not then that's fine too, I don't have one either!
We'll just have to set boundaries the old fashioned way~
4.) Pairings & Gender
When it comes to just story and even romance I'm fine with most types. MxM, FxM, FxF, ect....
After all, I tend to control multiple characters ALONGSIDE our main ones because...for one...I find it more fun and realistic to have a cast of people in the world.
With that in mind, I'm open to all sorts of relationships, romantic or not on the side.
However, when it comes to sex & our main pairings I'm only comfortable playing certain roles.
M/M- is great and what I am best at writing.
F/M- is fine but I am only comfortable portraying a female.
F/F- is uncharted territory that I'm not comfortable portraying.
I'll keep this easy and brief~
1.) I tend to use 3rd person.
Sometimes I can be swayed into 1st person if my partners writing is alluring enough for me, but I won't hesitate to say no if I find it lacking.
2.) Pictures, references and 'face claims' of all kinds are fine by me.
Drawing, real ppl, scenery art, personally I'm good with it all. Go wild
3.) I don't give premade character sheets.
Since I don't have OCs that I reuse or wait to use for multiple stories it's kinda a moot point.
I am however up for talking basics & even enjoy talking shop, coming up with new ideas for the story/characters and overall sharing whatever info we come up with for the characters we create.
That said I enjoy being surprised and surprising my partners. There's always a chance I'm not telling you the full story or have something lined up to mess with/make it harder for your character to reach their goals. Granted there are limits to this, depending on how much control we're both willing to give up that we can talk about before and any time during writing~
4.) I make casts for rps. I'm going to have npcs and side characters I use to further the plot, world building and possibly against you depending on the plot and characters. Please don't try to take that freedom away from me, chances are it will cause me burnout and I'll have to drop you as a partner.
I somewhat expect you to do the same if the plot calls 4 it as I shouldn't be the only one pushing the story along or doing all the world building.
If I wanted that I'd just write alone or play DM for a DnD game lol.

What th- holy shit, some idiot made it this far!?
I mean Congrats! I knew you'd make it! Never doubted you for a second!
Your prize?
~ Plots, Pairings and Pie! ~
Pairings!
Simple rough pairings.
Ones that may or may not have much ideas/plotting on my end.
---
To show which rough pairings I have ideas for just look at the amount of ( * ) next to it.
The higher ( * ), the higher inspiration I have 4 it!
A low ( * ) doesn't mean a lower love for the idea,
just that there's less chance for premade ideas on my part.
Any role in purple shows my role preference

Nothing beat the rush of a live show.
Heroes were nothing new. Those vigilantes who ran solo or heroes acknowledged and run by the government, both were old news by a few decades.
It wasn't odd to see them on the news, to have a passing glance of a vigilante vaulting along the city skies or a hero dealing with nastier perils. In a way it was a good change. Easier to save lives, lots of people able to make a living helping without having to hide their powers and run from the government.
Of course, that also meant with good new challenges were bound to show up.
Supervillains being the main issue.
Yet, in recent years things have been rather quiet- or rather manageable in Alion City. This could be due to the efforts of the Justice Bureau, or maybe thanks to the number of 'heroes' finally outranking crime in terms of manpower. Either way, save the typical problems and crazed maniac, this city at least, has been rather well off. So well off that it wasn't unheard of for the bureau to 'lend out' members to underhanded areas during times of crisis.
Until now that is.
There's an odd rumor going around, whispers that a certain broadcast has to do with sudden disappearances happening throughout different areas.
The broadcast in question unable to be tracked down, no evidence save rumors from teens and young adults who'd apparently been able to see some of it before it went offline.
Its odd at best, alarming at worst. But there's no evidence, no strong link, so its written off for the most part. All but forgotten in the wake of rather serious jail break in the capital city Turmion as a good amount of heroes from the city are temporarily relocated to help in the wake of the breakout.
Only a handful of heroes and vigilantes remain to hold down the fort.
Its then that an odd stream comes on all over main social media sites,
a game show, or that's what it appears to be at first, comments flooding in in question as a figure finally appears.
Masked and with a happily distorted voice as they introduce the rules of the nights show,
a game of hide and seek.
Its ridiculous, the stage looking like some grand maze out of Alice in wonderland. And for a moment, as the cameras change, the stage set and a series of ridiculous special effects take place much to the commenters mixed amusement and chagrin.
It takes less than 17 seconds for the light tone to plummet as the 'guest stars' are introduced.
It becomes clear very quickly its not a game but a death sentence.

C1 happens to be one of the handful to have stayed/been left behind. Perhaps a vigilante, a hero left to hold down the fort, or maybe even a villain or anti of some sort who'd just so happened to catch the broadcast live in Alion city.
Either way, they saw what happened in that broadcast. The odd gameshow like stream that'd quickly taken a dark horrifying turn.
Ironically, the game itself, rather straightforward. Hide and seek, a man hunt.
At first it seemed like the dealings of a crazed killer, a serial killer maybe, that had police and the justice bureau alike scurrying to track the signal. It wasn't until the first man was found that it took another unexpected turn.
The first target found. However instead of immediately killed, information pops up. A name, age, information, and a list of crimes. A folder of incriminating evidence suddenly popping up on police server banks. The 'host' listing a line of horrible crimes and the evidence, the man in question paling and the chat going crazy. Asking if its real, mixed anger, disgust and distress towards the show and criminal himself.
A voting poll pops up.
It's a horrifying thing,
4 criminals, 4 guests, presumed dead.
A new Players appeared in Alion City.

{ Slice of Life }
note - this idea can easily be set in a different time period besides modern day & C1 may be in a creative industry of their choice. Ex. artist, writer, designer, ect.
C1 is rather well known in their respective community, if not for their talent and works then notable for their...reputation. To be more specific, their notorious conditions for accepting commissions/work. Ones that seem to constantly be changed or added to on random whims much to the chagrin of those aiming for partnership/commissions.
They're seen as an enigma; stuck up, a social recluse and any other number of things depending on the group you ask and the week.
One thing that everyone can agree on though is that their work is nothing to scoff at. Recently however, C1's work has been, for lack of better term, lacking.
These days nothing they put out seems to be good enough. Every ensemble feels like a never ending chore that they're stuck with rather than the work they used to adore.
It's something that they tried to keep under wraps but in the end it catches up to them when it becomes increasingly obvious they just aren't putting out as much work with backlash in the form of: maybe new talents or rivals putting the heat on? Maybe media and reviewers jumping onto work and comparing new to older 'better' ensembles. No matter the driving force, in the end C1 takes a step back. Basically going on a hiatus in favor of traveling someplace for a much needed break/trying to get over this roadblock.
At first it seems like it's a hopeless thing. A few weeks turn into 3 months, months into a year. Within the blink of an eye C1's been nonexistent in the community, missing and practically forgotten to the majority of the world as new talents and rivals fill up the space they left behind. It's on a boringly normal day that they come across C2 and that all changes.
A new spark, inspiration that they haven't felt in god knows how long.

Once We Were
{ Reincarnation & Obsession }
C1 has lived a very long time. In all their days, all the years they've seen pass them by however they've yet to have the same bond they had with a special person, C3.
Long ago, a promise was made by them, a last wish In C2s final moments. C1 swore to it promising to find them again, to bring them back. For a while though it seemed to be a hopeless wish in C1s eyes, something unattainable, a sour memory that they'd have to live with for the rest of their days. Until one day they met them again, a mirror image. But in the end no better than a stranger.
Again and again, C1 found them. And again and again lived countless lives with them, sometimes as friends, other times as passing acquaintances & sometimes even enemies. A hopeless loop of strangers. Never the person they'd made that promise with never their loved one.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
C2 is the next reincarnation. Finally found again by C1. Perhaps by chance, maybe by a certain immortal's persistence?
C1 and C2's opening relationship can be any number of things. Perhaps acquaintances turned friends, work partners, fellow students, anything. The possibilities for C2 are endless.
Either way C1 at first seems like a rather normal person however over time C2 begins to notice a strangeness to them. Perhaps via letting their curiosity getting the better of them? Maybe they end up stumbling upon something that shines light to C1's true personality/motivations?
This time C1 has a new tactic in mind, one they're sure will work if they can just keep C2 around long enough to try. To let it work.
This time they're determined to keep that promise.
To bring back C3,
No matter what.
However, nobody knows what would happen if they succeeded... Would C2 just get C3's memories? Or would C3 simply take over?

4.)You are king
{ Fantasy }
C1 was meant to be wed to the neighboring king in a show of goodwill. Connecting two kingdoms that for many eons, were stuck in murky relations. It seems all fine and dandy on paper, save for the typical oddness of marrying a complete stranger, but it's hardly a new thing among people in power. Taking a simple glance in any land's history books and you'll see it's a constant.
At first that's exactly what this seems like. A political give and take. Except everyone should know by now things are never as clean cut as they are on paper because C1 is nothing more than a means to an end in the grand scheme of things but in this power game they had little to no real choice on this farce of a marriage. They fully expected to be used as a bartering tool, if not to this kingdom then to someone else and it's by far a kinder fate than other possibilities, they have no illusions on this fact. What they hadn't expected was to be a sacrificial lamb, pawn piece fodder to be used as a catalyst for war if plans went astray and it's with no small amount of luck that C1 gets to keep their life when the coup d'état goes without a hitch.
With the coup staged and carried out successfully by C1s kingdom, the siege of power is over and done with as quickly as it started, leaving a major hole in the kingdom's stability. Suddenly C1s spouse is 'missing in action', the previous king and queen found dead by the hands of an assassin and the kingdom left reeling from the treachery & hostiles soldiers eager to bust down their doors.
It looks like a game over. With C1 being the only one left in power and their home kingdom at the ready all that's left is to merge the kingdoms & surrender power.
Yet in a twist of fate C1 doesn't surrender to their previous kingdom. Not taking well to being used as a pawn they instead take charge of the kingdom that is now, rightfully their responsibility. But with a possible war brewing and stuck at the wheel of a kingdom with zero friends the coming days are looking a bit grim; luckily, or perhaps unluckily, C2 might just be of some help to C1 if they can stand each other long enough to navigate this mess fallen into.

Again, these plots tend to not have all the info on purpose & if there's no/little info on a 1 of 2 characters it's because there's too much info/what if possibilities for me to put up in risk of clutter. I want to talk about plots and characters with my partner and bounce ideas so if you want more info you'll have to pm me.
If these rough mini plots caught your attention then I'm happy to talk more shop with you~
Wow you made it to the end!
If somehow I haven't scared you away and you actually like any of this then feel free to pm me~
Just do me a favor and don't post here hehe...
Well what are you still doing lurking around here?
Message me or go on your way young one!
Only I'm allowed to nap here.
