Absolutely Tea-lightful
Inner Sanctum Nobility
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night! Thud
Firstly, I thank you, beautiful reader, for stopping by! I've just popped the kettle on, so feel free to take a seat by the fire. Get the Writers' Block out. Do you enjoy Earl Grey?
This is going to become my hodge-podge of writing ideas, themes or storylines that I currently crave. Things will come and go akin to the whims of my muse, mostly. Though fret not, I'm always happy to utilise the same idea amongst multiple partners. If I list an idea as Taken, it's purely so I can keep track of what's going on and what isn't! I implore you, delve and desire to your hearts' content.
Before any musings are laid bare, I do have some standard rulings before I start to write. Your co-operation in reading through them before going any further is appreciated. I'm also happy to adapt/tweak a couple of rules to suit any potential partner, so while they are rigid, they aren't cast into stone.
Splendid! Now that we have the politics out of the way... I'll explain how I'll format my ideas/settings:
Name: Spoiler Title
Theme: -
Fluffy/Dark: -
Time Period: -
General Geographic Setting: -
Brief Overview/Intention: - (Intentions shall be written in italics)
Preferred Character: -
(Character Register to be completed at a later date)
All of my ideas shall be posted in a Spoiler. Feel free to search through each one and give them a read! Or if you aren't taken to any of the ideas here but still want to create something together, feel free to send me a PM and we can discuss it together!
Until such a time, my lovely darlings... I hope you have a wonderful day and I greatly appreciate the time you've taken to read this! Until next time...

I'm also happy to adapt/tweak a couple of rules to suit any potential partner, so while they are rigid, they aren't cast into stone.
1 - Any and all characters must be minimum of 18+. While I personally expect this of any partner, it's also Sanctum rules. Lollicons, begone. If your character isn't affected by the Temporal winds and doesn't age as we'd understand it, then they are to be the equivalent thereof. No exceptions.
2 - I'm perfectly okay with characters being "Overpowered", but keep in mind that OP doesn't mean invincible. Even my most powerful character functions more as a Glass Cannon rather than immortal deity. I'm not saying to make your characters weaknesses obvious and completely debilitating all the time, however. A little intrigue never hurt anybody!
3 - Romance is fine for me, but please don't force it just because your character is secretly a love-sick puppy looking for head pats. Your character(s) can be lustful or flirtacious, go right ahead. They can even be a secret hooker for all I care. But for the love of Twinnings, don't expect an immediate romance between characters if we haven't discussed it beforehand.
4 - I hope you'll find I'm pretty easy going when it comes to ideas, even if it's not strictly "in line" with what we're potentially discussing. Go all out! But at least ground the wacky in the sincere. Magic is more lenient in this regard, but I don't want to see replicas of the Manhattan Project being whipped up in a Low Fantasy setting, aye?
5 - While I don't always expect constant and consistent replies (God knows I can't throw stones in that glass house...), at least let me know if you're either a sparse replier or you may not be able to reply for a while. Or if you've just lost interest in what we're doing! While I may tut at you a little, I'd rather you level with me rather than ghost me.
6 - I enjoy OOC conversations with my partners. No real reason why, but I enjoy talking to the people behind the creativity we conjure. If you'd rather keep OOC for RP discussion or problem solving, then it's going to be a rough road ahead of us...
7 - I'd greatly appreciate it if you could PM me with the idea title you have interest in, rather than commenting here. If you'd like to write together but don't find any of these ideas to your fancy, then just include the word "Kerfuffle" anywhere in the title and I'll understand what you're intending!
This list is subject to change/addition/removal as times warrant it. If you're not sure on something, then feel free to ask!

Theme: Comedy/Adventure
Fluffy/Dark: Mixed, with leaning towards Dark
Time Period: VERY distant future. Upwards of 2000+ years
General Geographic Setting: Persean Galaxy (The nearest Galaxy to ours)
Brief Overview: A time of peace, a time of utopic growth where each species can attain their own subjective forms of perfection. How bloody boring! How's an honest pirate meant to make a living when everyone sees your attempts at robbery as aggressive requests for charity? Well, lets go ask the Captain!
The "Captain" in this scenario won't be played by either writer in this scenario. Instead, our characters are simple small time captains trying to coax their Pirate Armada leader into doing something, well, pirate-y. This doesn't have to be serious in any way, and can be as elaborate or as easy as we please. Think of a space pirate themed version of Red Dwarf mixed with SpaceBalls, for lacking better comparisons
Preferred Character: Peter "Jacks" Titanus

Preferred Character: Peter "Jacks" Titanus
Theme: Slice of Life
Fluffy/Dark: Fluffy, with mildly sorrowful undercurrents
Time Period: Modern Day (Up to 100yrs before or after, but no further)
General Geographic Location: United Kingdom (I'm not biased, I swear)
Brief Overview: Upon birth, everyone has a Class assigned to them, and the forces of Divine and Damned claim these children into their factions regardless of their parents. Thankfully, there has been a long period of peace between the two major superpowers have existed for about two centuries now. Any disagreement is settled during their bi-yearly tournaments, with upwards of millions of combatants get transported to a sub-dimension to duke it out with the opposition. Sadly, not everyone keeps their malice inside the ring; prejudices and stigmas running deep across the lands.
This isn't meant to be a story of how racism or deliberate segregation is bad. However, they'll definitely be events like that through the scenario. This will primarily focus on the Summoner being exceptionally potent, and others tending to fear, hate or otherwise hold grudges against them for either not battling in the tournaments or being given to the wrong faction or even just being "that weird kid from class". This will mostly focus around the home of the Summoner, and the various summoned entities that pop by.
Preferred Character: Fresh Creation(s)
