Row's Story Ideas [M for F] [Open for Business]

[The Sparrower]

Hi, I'm Row. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am returning to E after an extended hiatus and am looking to have adventures with friends new and old. Please check out my O/O page to get to know me better. If you'd like to start a friendship, please feel free to say hi via PM or on Discord, where my name is Magic Magpie#7593. I take pride in my writing and try to write long, thought-out contributions to a story. For this reason, I am currently limiting myself to 3 active stories where I plan on writing one or more posts a week.

• Post #2: Story Ideas
• Post #3: Previous Stories

I look forward to hearing from you. :-)

[The Sparrower]

Fantasy

This story is as a slow burn and highly conversational. Use this as a way to explore what magic means to you, to explore how you view the world, and to compare your thoughts to those of another. While they may be mages, the characters are primarily people who are seeking to understand their place in the world and how others might fit into that view. It's meant to be a space for vulnerability, learning, and understanding.

The Green Valley

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

The people of Green Valley, known as the Folk, live a charmed and simple life. The valley might be the most beautiful place in the world, and nothing bad seems to happen here. Living in the valley is a young family: a mother, a father, two daughters, a son, and all of the animals a farming family could ask for. The man and his wife were married young and had children as was expected of them by their community. They are a little older now and each is reflecting on his or her life: is this who they thought they would be at this age? Is this the life they wanted for themselves, or did they do it to make their family happy? Can they be happy with this life, even if it isn't what they wanted? Do they love each other?

This story is about taking stock of your life and discovering who you really are. Every day we are born anew, and have the power to make changes in our life. What keeps us in the life we live? Do we need change, and if so, what is holding us back? If there is conflict in this story, it is meant to be more personal than dramatic: did the wife love another man before she was married? Did the husband want to be a farmer? Maybe they are happy with the situation, maybe they need to make changes, or maybe they need to accept their lives as they are. This story can be taken in any number of directions to help work through questions you might have in your own life.

Science Fiction

The Dollhouse

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

In a not-so-distant future, a brilliant but reclusive man converts an old country mansion into a state-of-the-art technological marvel. Notably, he renovates the basement into a robotics lab where he uses cutting-edge technology to build androids, robots that look like humans. He could make billions off of his androids, but he has other plans for them. They are his dolls, built to serve him in any capacity he requires.

This is a setting meant for short stories based around power and submission. You play a doll, a robot built with a feminine frame and designed to perform labor according to its programming. These dolls are built with several routines each; you might be built to perform a job such as house maid or secretary, and you could be programmed to perform a specific sexual act or acts. Do you want to explore what it means to be treated like an object (because you are one)? Do you want to explore what it means to have no free will? This is the game for you.

This story is about as kinky as I get. Strong OOC communication will be a must to make sure everyone is having a good time.

The Mages
A traveling wizard wanders into a small village on a quest from his masters. A storm is raging, and since mages are often viewed with healthy skepticism, the village witch offers to take him in until the storm passes. The winds and waters rage for days, and the mages get to know each other better. They soon discover that the magics they know are quite different. Will the mages find harmony and discover how to complement one another? Are they fundamentally incompatible magics, and do the mages grow to resent each other? Do they find a mutual respect for one another, but nothing more?

Since I have been on hiatus for quite some time, these are outdated, but I am keeping them for now for those who might be interested.

In Bad Company

with Ellipsis

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Genre: Action, possibly with a Western-esque feel.

Setting: A massive planet technologically identical to modern day Earth in a land called Forswahna. Forswahna is a newly discovered land across a vast ocean. The only way to this New Land is by boat, and the trip takes months and costs a small fortune. It is rumored that Forswahna is full of precious metals and ancient artifacts, waiting to be claimed by those brave enough to do so. For this reason, it is home to lowlifes of all sorts who gave up everything to start anew here. Unscrupulous mercenaries, escaped convicts, military deserters, double agents, they all manage to find their way here sooner or later.

The Plot: An unnamed private contractor has put out a $5,000,000 bounty on the head of General Cyd, a regional warlord infamous for his insatiable madness and the burning of the small town of Rewoa. The bounty was silently delivered to seven individuals, who were invited to meet together to discuss team tactics on how to bring the General down. At the time of the meeting, only two members show up, the rest presumed already dead. Will the strain of this impossible mission break the wills of the two remaining mercenaries, or will their triumphs bring them closer together?

In Lands Unknown

with AngelicFaith

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Genre: Probably most accurately described as an "Alternate History Period Piece."

Setting: A beautiful land that lies beneath an unknown sky containing stars the likes of which no astronomer has yet seen. Quiet waves fall upon white sand beaches, lush and fertile forests cover the land, and majestic mountains can be seen from a distance. A native tribe lives here, untouched by the hand of industry and modernization.

The Plot: When a voyage turns to disaster, young Damien Hawke find himself the highest ranking officer on board the battleship Indigo. In a freak storm that leaves the ship battered and much of the crew dead, the men find themselves miraculously saved by a land that does not appear on any maps or charts they have. There is a tribe of native people here, and their women are the most beautiful the men have ever seen. Damien is duty bound to complete the mission his Queen sent him on, but when he catches sight of the most beautiful of the native women, he is torn between following his order or his heart.

A Knight's Errand

with ambrosial

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Genre: A High Fantasy world, but the story is more Sword and Sorcery.

Setting: The Queendom of Welnh, a country removed both politically and geographically from the Nine Kingdoms, which form the crux of the world. Magic is fairly common, and mythical creatures of all sorts roam the world. Day and night have a strange cycle; a year in the world of Welnh has twelve months, much like Earth. Unlike Earth, the first week of each month is completely bright, while the other three weeks are dark. These three weeks are extremely dangerous, and anyone caught in the dark is unlikely to survive, no matter how strong they are.

The Plot: Queen Ellea of Agelka has tasked The Knight, a trusted member of her cabinet, with the task of escorting her daughter The Princess to Agelka, one of the Nine Kingdoms. While Welnh has managed to stay out of the political squabbles of the Realm for thousands of years, the increase of attacks on her nation from the monsters of night has left her little choice but to marry her daughter off to form an alliance with a lord who has the means to help them.

Along the way, their modest caravan is savagely attacked by unseen foes in the forest. While The Knight manages to run the attackers off, everyone else but The Princess has perished. Night will fall in just over twenty hours, and the way back to Welnh would take many days of travel that they can't afford. Unwilling to abandon his oath to the Queen, The Knight vows to The Princess that he will see her safe to Agelka or die trying. Can The Knight keep his oath? Will they perish in the dark like so many before them? Or, worse, will The Princess fall in love with him on the way, endangering their entire nation by refusing to marry the Prince of Agelka?
