If you want to thread/plot with me, hit me up in PMs or Discord. I tend to think I'm bothering people if I've never written with them before and I probably won't reach out first. That said, I am VERY open to requests! I do prefer fast-moving threads, partly because I have a short-attention span and mostly because most of my characters have a lot going on that references previous threads. Post-length doesn't matter to me, I've been known to have anywhere between 4-5 paragraph posts and 2-3 sentences. As long as you give me something that keeps the thread moving, I'm a happy camper.
Torturing my characters emotionally is my favorite hobby, so the more angsty the plot is, the faster I tend to be at replying. Breakups, unrequited love, doomed ships, affairs, surprise! babies, hateships... I love it all, the messier the better. I've injured, cursed, and killed off characters, and for the right plot I would do it again. Mature threads are fine. I've done sexually explicit threads and fade to black; it just depends on the storyline and character development. Murder (run it by me first lol), violence, drugs, etc. are all fine by me. My only hard limit is non-consent in sexual situations, and I don't want to thread out child deaths. Referencing the latter as a past event is fine.
If you start a thread for us, you can either tag the relevant account or drop the link in Discord. I subscribe to all my threads by default, so any other tags aren't necessary.
P.S. If I have promised you a thread starter and haven't started it within 2-3 days, poke me please! I probably forgot because I have the memory of a goldfish. I'm just started rp again after a 6 year hiatus, so am a bit rusty and thread etiquette is a little foggy. If I do something wrong, let me know!
Note: I'm mostly using this thread for shippy-plots, but establishing pre-existing relationships for networking is welcomed!

Interested in shippy-plots that are:
- Affairs
- Hateships
- Genuine hurling
- Mutual pining
- Star-crossed lovers
- Unrequited pining
Would start with an
emotional connection first:
Barnabas Skeeter Progress Fangworth Melinda Podmore Effie May Woodcroft
Would start with a
physical connection first:
Progress Fangworth Ahn-Bo Jeong
Other plot needs:
-
Barney needs a healer who can invent/create a better prosthesis so he can ditch his cane and have more mobility. Could be a 1 off thread or multiple. If there's a testing period where it goes haywire and Barney is at its mercy, even better.
- Ahn-Bo needs more werewolf and werewolf-adjacent friends. UCs or MCs who like to party as going-out buddies. Also looking to get into the organized crime side of society for plot reasons.
- Melinda has absolutely nothing going on except for having to move out of Irvingly and into her mother's home. If you need a blunt UC lady for anything, toss it my way!
- Effie May's parents are pushing her to get married and settle down. She's highly uninterested but feels guilty letting them down. I have a few threads currently where she's exploring her sexuality with women, but am open to a few more. Also open to hurling with WC men, though it wouldn't be romantic for obvious reasons. Doesn't mean she wouldn't get married to make her parents happy and to someone she has a good relationship with though!
- Progress needs some ladies to pine after and write terrible poetry for.

I think we've already got threads for all the potential romances allowable by our gender & sexuality combos lol. BUT I am also keen on mutual pining or star-crossed lovers so maybe keep me in mind for your upcoming characters if one of them fits with mine <3
Re- Ahn-Bo and organized crime, if he and DJ become friends, DJ is also 1) friends with a lot of NPC drug dealers and addicts, 2) friends with
Sybella Capobianco whose family is mafia. Not that that's well known, DJ doesn't know, but maybe there's something interesting buried there

Gianna De Pazzi - September 28, 2025
In order to keep up appearances, the man who is living as Gianna's brother is pushing her onto the marriage market to find a husband. As he is actually her husband just living in hiding under her brothers name, this leads to a couple of options.
They have a successful ship leading to a sort of bigamy by Gianna (her husband is recorded as dead so legally she is a widow, but not
really
Her hus-brother turns jealous and violent, he is a gangster after all.
They just have a bit of fun to get some stuff out of her system as her and her hus-brother are trying not to sleep together so she doesn't end up looking like she got pregnant by an unknown or worse, her brother.
It turns out to be a massive scam where they rob your character blind

.
Im pretty easy with how things might go so there might be an entire curveball depending on what happens.

Gianna De Pazzi This sounds fun! The only MC man I have at the moment is Barney though, and I fear Gianna is much too tall for his tastes. xD
