last year's thread for reference. For folks who haven't done this before, this thread is to post stats on your characters - use this thread to browse/peruse, but take your actual plotting or thread-coordinating to other plot threads, DMs, Discord, etc.
Use this thread to post the folks you want to hurl this season - for marriage, affairs, or anything romance-adjacent. You specify what you're looking for. Choose from five options, in any combination:
— Romance/Sentiment: you (or your character) want ~feelings, whether that comes with a ring or not.
— Marriage: self explanatory, lol.
— Sex: also self explanatory.
— Ongoing Affair: relationships that contain either sex or feelings but without the marriage aspect.
— Unrequited: If you're interested in your character getting hung up on someone who doesn't return their feelings and ~pining. Also can be used for mutual pining if you want to go the Jude/Kieran route.
There is also a section to specify YOUR HURLING STYLE PREFERENCE:
— CASUAL: You don't care about a particular endgame, or at least not on any particular timeframe. You want things to play out IC and are okay with just seeing where things go. [The LynnShip example: Zelda & Alfred Darrow who took years to meander through their tribulations towards marriage].
— PURPOSEFUL: You have some specific goals/milestones you'd prefer to hit, but not badly enough that you want to feel rushed or force anything. You still want to play most things out in threads, but are fine with also discussing some things that happen offscreen to keep things moving along. You might decide to prioritize a specific ship or set up rapid-fire dates. [The LynnShip example: Christabel & Victor Daphnel, whose interest was established in threads but whose courtship mostly occurred offscreen].
— TARGETED: You have a deadline and are willing to do whatever needs to be done offscreen to meet that deadline, while staying true to the characters. You're comfortable using NPCs to move things along or inventing plot points to suit your aims. You don't require old threads to be wrapped before progressing the plot. [The LynnShip example: Emrys Selwyn & Octavia Fawley, whose whole season-long relationship was more often referenced in other threads than actually posted about directly xD]
Here's a code:

<li>Romance / Sentiment
<li>Marriage
<li>Sex
<li>Ongoing Affair
<li>Unrequited

<b>My Hurling Style Preference:</b> CASUAL | PURPOSEFUL | TARGETED
<b>IC Dealbreakers:</b> Any traits you character absolutely <i>wouldn't</i> go for (eg, "no Muggles" or "not younger than 21")
<b>IC Ideal:</b> what, if anything, your character is looking for
<b>OOC Ideal:</b> what, if anything, you are looking for
<b>Hurling Grounds:</b> where is your character most likely to interact with new people?</blockquote>Set by Lady!
