MxM Grem's Request Thread

[GremlinSage]

[ the gremlin ]

⠀

I am your resident violent gremlin with a lovely pink chair from a certain Color Queen. While I have plenty of nicknames, you can simply call me Grem or Sage.

Much of what I do is assisting in events or creating them. I am very active on the forum itself and the chatroom. Never be afraid to message me with anything, I'm here to help!

I've been writing for about 30 years in forums, notebooks, and even games (WoW/FFXIV). If I am the one starting the thread, my initial posts can be a bit long, and after that responses are as long as they need to be for the scene.

As you can see above, I have no triggers. Anything goes, but please tell me what yours are!

[ world building ]

⠀

• I write to discover—characters come first, and the world unfolds as we go. I don’t use character sheets; I learn characters by writing them.
• I thrive on collaborative, back-and-forth DMing and building the world on the fly together.
• I prefer controlling our own NPCs to keep voices and tone consistent.
• I love posts that move the plot forward, even in small ways, and I’m always open to twists. (And you don't even have to tell me first)

[ preferences ]

⠀

• I vibe best with writers who have some experience and a history of sticking with long-term stories. I don’t start new threads with new to the forum members anymore.
• I’m totally fine with doubling and love fleshing out worlds with NPCs and lore—but I build as I go. I write instinctively, not from a fixed plan, and my characters range from soft and uncertain to stubborn little shits (never OP, always human).
• Cheating isn’t something I’ll write. It doesn’t add anything for me personally, and I don’t enjoy redemption arcs around it.
• I play mainly bottom role for NSFW. I'm not a fan of top/dominate positions, but for partners I've been writing with for a while and I'm comfortable with, I make exceptions for.

[ plot bunnies ]

⠀

Here are a few loose concepts I’d love to explore, none of these are fixed plots, just starting sparks:

A Visit to the Surface The surface world is vast and to someone who only lives within the ocean, it holds so much more. A merman one evening happens upon a coastal village named Merrowdeep, crawling onto the empty shores and begins the painful process of shedding his tail, while a human comes across the scene.

The Rise and Fall of Gods One cultivator, known throughout the land as a prodigy, is nearing his peak to be considered an immortal. As he is about to ascend, an ancient cultivator who had long achieved immortality comes crashing down, destroying the ceremony and putting off the ascension.

Fallen Deities Two ancient rival deities are forced into a mortal form to stop their destructive war. Now they have to navigate life as mortal's, which include human emotions, including an inconvenient, growing affection for the other.

Breaking Bonds A warrior trained since childhood to exterminate magic users finds himself magically tethered to the last surviving warlock, and if one dies, the other does too. As they hunt for a way to break the bond, hatred turns into something much messier.

Godforged Weapons aren't made in this world, they're born. Living blades, whispering spears, armor that breathes. When a blacksmith discovers the lost art of creating new godforged weapons, every warlord, king, and immortal wants them on their side... or dead.

Blood Under the Bronze Sun A time rift throws a modern university student into a ruthless bronze-age warrior state, they are completely unprepared for a culture built on violence and discipline. The only thing standing between them and execution is the soldier assigned to keep them under guard.

Silk & Poison [Ming Dynasty - Ancient China] The youngest son of the Imperial Physician steps into his father's position when he suddenly falls ill, and right into conflict with a Prince who refuses to trust him. Jealous eyes in the court twist their clashes into something dangerous, just as poison claims his father's life. When the Emperor falls ill next, he's the one blamed.
