Random bits and pieces (m/m, mxftm, axa, monsters and weirdness oh my...)

[WarPony]

Hello!

Welcome to my current story prompts list!  This list is by no means exhaustive, nor are the prompts immutable. If you like the premise, but would like to add your own input/spin, let me know! Additionally, if you have an idea of your own that you think I might be interested in, please feel free to reach out, and we can bounce some thoughts around. 

I mostly play m/m, or m/ftm, pairings, but I am wildly queer, and do not get too hung up on gender. I am open to almost any configuration of parts, including hetero pairings (It is rare that I play a character that is 100% straight, however) and multiple/poly partners. I also generally lean toward playing the subbish/bottomish/receiver role, but I try not to base a character's entire personality around that particularity unless there is some compelling plot/story reason to do so.  If it suits the character, I am also perfectly amenable to playing switches-- I just find hard dominants/tops difficult.

I am also an unrepentant teratophile, and can be into just about any weirdness imaginable -- Mythical beasts, things with too many tentacles, vampires, werewolves, strange entities from under the bed, plants with no sense of personal space, demons, closet monsters, half-forgotten forest gods... the list goes on. Kinks are also highly flexible, and I can enjoy everything from amusing fluff to dark n' heavy. There is a link to an f/list in my signature for the curious.

As a writer, I enjoy long-form posting, and prefer creative partners with a similar inclination. Most of my posts will run at least two paragraphs at the bare minimum (with exceptions given for conversation, action, or other situations where shorter posting keeps things moving sensibly.) I post frequently, sometimes multiple times a day, but there may be occasional hiatuses due to writer's block, brain rot, or unavoidable life circumstances. If/when those occur, I do try to keep my writing partners informed.

The examples below are general setting/character ideas I've been kicking around. I don't like to limit my writing partners in their character creation, so there aren't definitive 'your character' requirements. Most of these ideas are pretty open-ended as far as what could fit (though, in some of them, while there is an obvious opposite number,  I leave the specifics of the character up to my writing partner). Collaboration, and writing against interesting characters is half the fun of this endeavor.

Open prompts:

The Inheritance

Setting: TBD. I enjoy historical settings, and I think this would lend itself well to everything from a rambling estate in Maine in the 1980's,  to a brooding chateau somewhere in France at the turn of the century. Opportunities for cults, monsters, creepy house vibes, and lurking servants abound.

Summary: Leander Whitby was shocked when a well-dressed solicitor knocked at the door of his dingy flat to inform him that he was the only heir to a staggering fortune, and a vast familial estate most recently occupied by his unknown, now-deceased great-uncle. The inheritance comes with a stipulation, however: He must take possession of the estate immediately and live there for one year (with a generous allowance).

He, of course, immediately agrees to the terms. Who wouldn't?

Mysterious inheritance, creepy house, possible dark themes.

The King’s Lavassier

Setting: High fantasy

Summary: Stephen never expected (or wanted) to ascend the throne, but when his father’s war-mongering results in the death of both the King, and Stephen's older brother, he has little choice.

Accepting the crown also means the selection of a new Lavassier-- The King's mage-- to act as arcane bodyguard, and, given the high honor that goes with such a privileged position, competition among potential candidates can prove deadly. 

Notes: This has the potential for all sorts of shenanigans. His father hadn’t been so much ruling the kingdom as campaigning in war, leaving the actual running of things to a hereditary council of noblemen who had been quite happy with the arrangement… and might not be too pleased at having their status quo upset.

High fantasy. Political intrigue. Magic. Potential for enemies-to-lovers

The monster under the bed

There is, in fact, a monster under the bed.

Vague. Monster (s) wanted.

The Faces of Janus

Setting: 1923 England
Summary: Young Julian Linley-Percival is abducted from outside a teashop in Cambridge, and held by an unknown sinister society somewhere underground. Over the next few weeks, he is subjected to a series of ritualistic bites from faceless, robed men-- to what purpose, he has no idea, and when he falls into a fever, his captors offer no aid. Thankfully, he manages to make his escape out through the sewers, but the threats they had made against his family has him hesitant to return to his ancestral manse in Shropeshire. However, he cannot stay. Visiting his digs only briefly to throw whatever he could into a suitcase, he flees Cambridge on the first train he could catch, and ends up in Scotland where, thankfully, there might just be help available in the form of an old, odd friend of his father’s…

Notes: This is mostly aimed at being a supernatural/horror storyline. Werewolves, vampires, witches, warlocks, secret societies… unseen supernatural machinations taking place behind the curtain. Potential for BDSM, D/s and kink among the plot. I’ve been waffling about having this character be a transman.

Werewolves. Supernatural. Horror. Secret society.Mystery cults. Political intrigue. 1920's England

Noir

Setting: 1930's Baltimore (could be moved to another city)
Summary:  
This isn't so much a concrete plotline as a vagueish outline for a character that could fit into several stories. Jas Byrne is the latest and last scion of an ancient line of Irish witches. He is a little bit Indiana Jones, a little bit Dick Tracey, and currently works as a private detective handling specialized cases involving the weird and eldritch. He has the potential to fit into a lot of different scenarios. Perhaps he is contacted by someone seeking to recover a stolen artifact or to investigate a suspicious murder. His travels could run him afoul of goblin rum runners, or vampire mafiosos. The possibilities are nearly endless.

Noir vibe. Supernatural. PI. Open plot options

I dare not go a-hunting

Setting: 1912
Summary:
American Edwin Bernard has just arrived at Cambridge for his first year at university, and is eager to explore the English countryside. However, he finds more than he bargained for when he accidentally stumbles through a door into the Lands Beyond the Lands We know.

Notes: Also a bit gratuitous. Edwin is a soft thing-- an academically inclined young man brought up and bullied in boarding schools paid for by his wealthy uncle. This scenerio would see him accidentally at the mercy of the old-school denizens of Fairy, and may end up with more extreme elements of noncon, bondage, etc, depending on how things shake out.

1912. Scary Fairies. Dark themes/elements

1980's style small town horror/mystery

This is more of a vibe than a concrete idea. I love the feel of 1980's horror movies, especially the Stephen King adaptions like It and Silver Bullet. I think it would be good fun to play a game, or games, in that kind of coming-of-age, gritty horror/mystery setting. I don't have a hard character in mind for this, but would love to discuss it if you are interested.

1980's. Horror/mystery. Gritty. Possible dark themes.

Wild West/Golden age of railroad, ~ late 1870's

MC (no name as of yet) is an artist and photographer from Baltimore who is dead-set on documenting the landscapes and people of the Western Frontier. As a largely unregarded and somewhat cossetted youngest scion of a wealthy family, he has access to more money than sense, and hasn't ever traveled without first-class accommodations. He wants to see the real frontier... the places beyond where the trains stop... but he can barely ride, doesn't know how to saddle his own horse, can't drive, and hasn't shot anything beyond the occasional target pistol while in boarding school. Once he gets to the end of the rail line, he will need to hire someone to act as guide/man of work (and babysitter).

City slicker artist goes west. Potential for supernatural elements if that is your fancy, or straight historical Western. Can play as dark or light as you like. 

If you don't see anything here that interests you, or you have an idea that you think I might be a good fit for, please feel free to PM me! I am always happy to discuss options, and am currently open for a few more threads.
