Header

Morrigan -- News and wants

Wants
I dearly love Morg and it saddens me that she has so little going on. She could be great for students and people who are outsiders or struggle with unexplained magical phenomena.
She is extremely well-traveled and could do past threads with cursebreakers and traveling types all over the world.

Casual threading

Header

Rufus -- News and wants

Wants
I want to get him started! He is a lively and extroverted type and he wants to have fun, but he also wants to help if he is confronted with struggle -- so both light and more serious plots would work for him.

Hi! Thanks for reading all that! Writing gives me a lot of joy and feeds my dopamine addiction. If I am around, I write fast and I enjoy to plan little story arcs. I like to think that I am easy to get along with and I want my writing partners to enjoy our shared stories. Please feel formally invited to reach out to me if you would like to thread <3
Best is discord but PM works just fine. Or post right here!

I don't think we've had any completed threads together, which is a damn shame!

Unfortunately, I'm afraid I don't have much for anyone except Leonard; Tennyson Halstead is a fifth year Gryffindor, chaser on the house team. He's a bit of a punk (but a charming one!) so I can either see him taking Leonard under his troublemaking wing or being an antagonistic twatwaffle xD

I think once upon a time we may have discussed Fiona McCarthy being subtly motherly toward him? And Mason Skeeter is also pretty good about keeping an eye on students he thinks could use it!

For Victor, I have Victoire Malfoy she's pretty flirty, but also seriously needs to settle down, so it would be light-hearted fun at best!

Excellent work on the plotting page, it looks great.

For Victor Frey I am enjoying the story he and Violetta are having, she is being foolish perhaps but has found herself quite taken by the older man. Look forward to more of them.

I also have Daesyn Mackenzie who is 4 days older than Victor and was in Gryffindor with him. In her reputation there is a rumour that she was fraternising with a boy during her NEWTS and Victor seems like an ideal candidate for a past or ongoing friendship. I wonder if they are friends now 4/5 years later. She is also beginning a friendship with Charley Goode for mischief.

For Leonard Blank once I get past my mental block that he is in fact not a first year, Bonnie Greyback is in the year below, Vee is in the year above as is Antelope Grace so plenty of scope for fun school threads. After Violetta had her detention with him she definitely would have offered help to her dorm mate with his literacy too.

For Samuel Griffith my half goblin Joseph Knotwood is about and looking for threads. He would be interested in hearing about Samuel's past as he has his own stories. Antelope Grace also has an adorable quirky interest in the macabre and as we discussed could go down a "aren't the dark arts fun" route.

UPDATE: I completed the entire roster!
Please ignore that some are greyed out, I messed up putting them in the directory. They are all active.

Violetta DeCroix -- tons of good options here! I do a list sorted by which threads would tickle me most
- more Leo and Vee
- more Victor / Vee
- what do you think about more Knotwood and Morg? They were good fun at the party.
- Knotwood and Sam. I think Joseph is such a cool character!
- Antelope and Sam, although I would postpone that for the new year. He has a lot going on currently.

Daffodil Grimstone -- starting Leo and Tenny asap!
