Lonely Plots

Have you got a grand idea for a plot but need a role (or roles) filled in before it can really take off? Post below describing the sort of character you need, your intention for them, and, if possible, how many threads you might require! 

For example:

Quote:Wanted for Jeremy Rohlwing: a potioneer he can pay to brew an (unsuccessful) Eyesight-Improving Potion for him. MC/LC AB, professional or amateur, does not have to be reputable. Estimated 1-3 threads. Contact MJ by Skype.

You can be as vague or as detailed as you like!  Requests for specific characters to be created must instead be posted in plottable characters. This thread is intended only to recruit existing characters into your schemes.




PMs on this account will not be checked.
Instead, please contact Ursula Black, Aldous Crouch, Cassius Lestrange, Elias Grimstone or Philomena Sprout with any questions, issues, or concerns.

THE CAPTAIN'S LEGACY

Captain Errol Peppersmith was Alfred's mentor and personal hero. He managed the 'consulting Navy' Alfred joined after Hogwarts and the leader of the Sycorax expedition, which he did not survive. When he was declared dead in 1882, his belongings were passed to a relative, who had exactly zero interest in all things nautical and left everything in a Gringott's vault, untouched. The recent death of that relative has seen the vault pass to — you!

Captain Peppersmith himself was an upper or middle class wizard, so your character should be the sort who might reasonably have a U/MC wizarding branch, but otherwise this is wide open. There are a few ways this plot could go, so what's actually in the vault is TBD. But since Alfred considers himself the spiritual successor of Captain Peppersmith, he certainly wants whatever it is...

Not for Tycho but for generally almost any of my hurlable and emotionally available characters:

I am once again, sending out a beacon for a whirlwind romance that is a courtship ending in marriage where everything happens in only a couple short months before the pair even really get to know one another.

I blame this song.

Can we dance like we're all alone
Stop the time and make it still
Hold you like I always will

Plot inkling, no specific character in mind yet: help me play out Sweet Talk. One sided romance that both people know is one sided and yet continues (in a casual sense) in spite of this.



Set by Lady!

Violetta DeCroix
UCPB | 15 | HOGWARTS

A two way school yard crush that challenges Violetta's perception of her future wedding plans.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Unrequited - cannot stress this enough


My Hurling Style Preference: PURPOSEFUL

IC Dealbreakers: adults, younger boys

IC Ideal: A boy that appeals to what makes Vee, Vee. She is vain, a bit stuck up but does enjoy humour and watching quidditch.
OOC Ideal: This part is easier to write. This will absolutely be unrequited love because 15, and also she is happy to be betrothed. I would like her though to have her views challenged and doubts put in her mind that she has to deal with. Every girl deserves a school sweetheart. So ideally it will be an older boy that she finds attractive and that is willing to pursue her a little (within bounds of sensibility). His class, blood etc don't matter ooc, but it will determine how she responds. Intent flattered, curious but ultimately she goes with what she knows. I have an idea that her betrothal will not ultimately lead to marriage for one reason for another. But that is a story for a couple of years.

Hurling Grounds: At Hogwarts and on Hogsmeade days

Quote:Kayte: Also there needs to be a girl Maeve in his year so people literally call him boy Maeve
No plot inkling or anything beyond that she would get called Girl Maeve so people know they're talking about her and not Boy Maeve. Would personally be funny to me if shes all cheery, peppy, sunshine in contrast to his personality though lmao.

Eury put on a bracelet she wasn't supposed to and now can't communicate without sounding like a total airhead. I would love for her to meet a MC/UC Deaf person (or someone who loves a Deaf person, in a pinch) and learn BSL from them <3

Lycoris won the Misses and Matrons competition and as her prize she is a honorary hostess and had to open the Misses & Matrons ball with the first dance the next evening.

What I am looking for is the man who would have claimed this first dance and is opening with her. UCAB preferred but I'm flexible and could be MC (it is considered impolite for a lady to turn down a dance, after all Wink ).

Taking the term "ghost writing" literally.

Your character is emphatically not a writer, but their deceased husband/wife/longtime live in "best-friend"/etc was. Unfortunately now that they're gone, the income from their writing is as well, and your character needs that income to sustain their current lifestyle. Enter Don Juan, ghost writer with no scruples and very little inclination to call your bluff if you "miraculously" find several unpublished works to be published posthumously.

Is this an unlikely society alliance, a comedic duo, a slow burn romance, an opening to some thriller intrigue we'll both get tied up in, something else? Let's find out!

Seeking a family for Ezra's BROTHER IN LAW whom I'm about to kill in the pit.

He would be MC, 30+, and married Cecilia Applegate. They have one child who will now be Ezra's ward.

If this guy could be your brother/son/cousin and you want a tie to Ezra through this kid you're both related to come find me! (If your character would be a far more logical choice than Ezra to take the kid in you are disqualified, I want the kid xD)


~~~ but I'm stuck trying not to come off crazy ~~~

Are you trying to seduce me, Mrs Prewett?

[Image: Jkep.gif]


Fitz has to get it from somewhere right?

Attractive widow of independent means seeks handsome boytoy for sex and…mostly sex but she’ll feed him and give him good wine to keep his strength up. There are several ways this could go but at the moment I’m not looking for this to become a scandal so should anybody find out it will be characters adjacent to Harriet and the man in question.

Is he just hustling Harriet for her money? Does he need a rich investor for some nefarious scheme and is laying on the flattery? Is this potentially a sweeping May-December romance for the ages? Is he just out for a good time and into being bought tailored suits and expensive cigars by a nice rich lady?

  • Ideally working class but slightly dissolute middle class may also work.
  • No connection to her sons as far as Harriet knows.
  • Ideally between 20-30 but a little older would be fine as long as he’s a bit of a disaster. Open marital status because Harriet dgaf.
  • To begin with I’m just seeking some highly flirtatious threads that may lead to more.

Message me on Discord or PM with suggestions!

Message in a Bottle

Writer Dan and I were watching something recently and a "message in a bottle" came up and I was like, "DING PLOT IDEA" and here I am. This is loose, but I do love a good letter plot.

I can be on either side of this and I would like for it to remain open-ended, but y'all know me, the messier the better! But basically they get an actual message in a bottle probably in the Black Lake, but some of my characters could also get to the Sanditon. Thanks to you know, magical owls, a letter exchange begins and we go from there! I'm game for either a "good" match or something wildly inappropriate either by mismatched classes or stations in life, purist views, reverse age gap, you name it!

Senders: Kenna Buchanan Eileen Buchanan Emmett Harper they're all my romantics, even Leeny, who would do it just to put something out into the universe as a coping mechanism and think that's that.

Recipients: any of the above + Mason Skeeter Noah Farley Sydney Podmore maybe even Dean Hudson or Cordelia Emsworth could work!

If this strikes your fancy please reach out via PM on Daff or if you have one of my other direct messaging options, that's fine too!

NEEDED: A sixth/seventh year male. UC/MC or highly accomplished/exceptionally attractive WC. I swore to myself Hesper was going to have an interest in someone before Sirius and it seems the time is now or never! It doesn't have to be a reciprocated crush.
