What you need to know!
(My general writing resume for eager writers seeking to collaborate with a worthwhile writing partner)

If you're reading this you've already fallen down the Rabbit Hole, and the best way to save yourself from a nasty fall is to consider where your going, and what's requested of you along the way..

What I will save you trouble of knowing before you head further down, is that I am looking to play the role of a 'Submissive/Switch Female', seeking a 'Dominant/Switch' counterpart for the sake of the ideas listed below. While I have used BDSM terms, I'm not looking for a BDSM rp, so much as I use these terms loosely, to give an idea as to what sort of writer I'd like to collaborate with. I have no gender prefer as to who I am writing against. All plots are inspired by adult 'Fairy Tale' adaptations & concepts, and should be reviewed with a partial knowledge of the various tales, and through a more open minded, as well as heavy fantastical consideration.

At the moment I am only looking to write stories based around: Alice In Wonderland | Various other fairy tales

Everything you need to know about Dhampyress as a writer


Quote

-  Average post size is often 1500 words or more. It really depends on how into a post I might be, or how much detail I may feel I need to cover in crafting a post. My writing flows purely by means of natural creative conscience. I don't typically stride for a certain quantity of words, but usually have a wordy flavor in my posting style.
- With my posting style I prefer to paint vivid visuals, or establish moods or tones, with the flow of words I often use. I've been told my writing presents a kind of lyrical flow to it at times.
- No one is expected to match my posting length. I'd never expect that from anyone. I encourage you to write only what you are comfortable with. That said, I love detailed or vivid posts.
- My posting style typically follows a small novella format.
Please glance at my former posts to get a further idea on this, as I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. I do not care what sort of style you use, only that you respect my own.
- I only write in free form. I'm not a fan of system games. Typically the involvement of too many numbers detracts from the experience for me.
- Most of my writing is built around an interest in character stories and plots that might best echo them.
- As far as characters go; I prefer to work with OC'S. I am interested in a small number of fandoms, however.
- I do FxM / FxF. I am open to both gender pairings and do not care what you are behind your username. I only play females. Males are a possibility for supporting characters, implemented on my behalf, where I might prefer them to be - nothing more. If you can write and make your character believable, then there is no arguing with that. I do however have a slight lenience in the interest of FxF pairings, as it's something I wouldn't mind experimenting with a bit more. That said, I'm happy to work with either Male or Female characters.
- - Funny thing about writing is, I'm not actually on Elliquiy to write smut. As much as I enjoy writing on Elliquiy because it leaves the possibility for smut, and other adult natured aspects, open in a roleplay. It's natural for me to write for a plot or story above anything else. That said, I still have an O/O's and enjoy writing them where it is sensible for them to fit.
- I consider myself a versatile writer. I like playing both dominant and submissive characters (to borrow from conventional BDSM terms), and especially those who fall in between. I use the these BDSM terms loosely here, as I generally don't play characters that practice actual BDSM, all too often. My submissive character archetypes are typically power submissives, but aren't always limited to such. While my more dominant character archetypes can be a great deal more versatile.
- My ideal writing partner is someone who really writes for story, but may be open to erotic content as a subordinate asset to the overall experience. Unless the specific plots says otherwise, I'm not usually one for smut driven games.
- Long term games preferred.
- As far as activity goes, I can be very active on Elliquiy. I used to post daily, but life changes. However, I try to make it so you should receive a post within a one week span. If you do not, then you will receive a PM from me to you, notifying you vaguely of the reasons for delay. Sometimes posts may be more frequent.
- Being someone who contests perpetually with anxiety, among other challenges with my mental health, I sometimes struggle to be social. This can sometimes affect my activity. In the past it's caused me to sort of slip away silently from the practice of writing, leading me to take short breaks during the peak of when these cycles become their worst. That said, I try to be communicative about this sort of thing, when it may occur. I tend to work better with writers who can be patient and understanding of this.
- As of right now, I'm looking to write with someone who can be patient with me. As I'm still getting into a loop of more frequent posting.
- I'm never against a slower pace for a game. However, I encourage back and forth communication through PM's at whatever extent my partners might be comfortable with ^^.
- I am open to trading IM's (namely Discord, chat only). But will only do so with a partner I feel comfortable with. This typically takes a few PM's back and forth before I'll open up the possibility to make plotting easier between myself and a potential writing partner.
- Basic grammar and common sense is required. I'm not going to poke on this unless it becomes a a game obstructing issue. No text speak. Unless, we're role-playing our a text conversation, of course.
- I write in the third person only.

- I have an exceptional love for darker stories and mature themes. Gritty, grimdark, dreadful, tragic, horror and romantic, are all adored. More on that in my O/O's.
- I believe communication and compromise is the best way to build a game. This art is about finding a mutual interest, after all. If there's a plot here you might like, but might propose a suggestion of just altering, don't hesitate to approach me. I like to be flexible, so long as my interest is still compatible to the general idea.
- I love detailed/enriching, heavy, characterization based posts, as well as world-building. All of these aspects are something I practice often and very much enjoy. I'd consider myself a writer who has a preference for character stories, with a subordinate interest in world building.
- I prefer to include pictures every now and again to further illustrate scenario, or a shift of significant environment.
- I'm always open to brainstorm with my writing partners.

- I can do art or face claims, just no anime.
- Further details regarding my active games can be found in my O/O's. I advise that anyone interested in writing with me peak in there to get more up to speed with my preferences in story tales and erotic tales alike. The link can be found: here .
- I only role-play on threads. Not IM's, not PM's.
- If you have questions please ask me via PM, and not on thread. I prefer private discussion. Do not post here.
- The second post here (on this thread) has my plot ideas.
- I have several (three) request threads. Links to each can be found here. The first is the thread you're currently reading. The second is an independent thread for fairy tale games. The third is an independent thread for superhero games. Any other genres will be posted here.



Kinks can be found in my O/O's, alongside a handful of characters for all kinds of potential stories.


So if you're reading this then you've probably been intrigued, interested, or even slightly curious as to what this is all about. Well let me tell you. At the moment I'm currently looking for one other fabulous writer (who has some knowledge to some extent) to write some rather eerie, dark or strange story adaptations, based off around a select few classic fairy tales. Such titles include (at this time); 'Alice In Wonderland', as well as a unique fairy tale dungeon crawler idea, as my muse for both stories and their respective worlds are quite high. Now obviously with that said, there are some questions to answer about what exactly that all means, and what sort of story I am looking to partake in with the listed titles above.

First and foremost I'm looking to explore a more dark and twisted atmosphere of any of these tales. Whether that means by sheer worldly composure, or ominous semblance. Additionally these are adult takes and so the subject matter is much more broad. On the subject of story nature, I'm not looking for a fluffy tale with a necessity driven to happy endings. Instead, I seek plots that lead more to the contrary, tales of trouble and potentially woe. I like gritty and grim stories and as such I'd like to explore those themes here. Whether that has us adjust some elements of the source material or take it from an entirely different approach, I desire something more dire.

Additionally I'd like to do something new as well. Something a bit different. There's a few suggestive plot routes I'll be sharing with whomever it is who might find themselves reading this thread. I've also included a list of a few characters I have a broad or partial interest in playing. I am always open to the subject of multiple characters as well (so long as I'm not juggling the entire populace of the game outside your own characters). Please know that I can be flexible so long as my preferences, and O/O's are considered. Details and exact specifics of this, that, or anything else, can be collaborated and negotiated through PM's, if need be. I absolutely love brainstorming, often spending much of time on Elliquiy simply engaging in the act through more private sessions back and forth. That leaves world building as a bonus for me.

Now before I jump right into plot hooks, or suggestive ideas for the game itself, I wanted to talk a bit more about what sort of experience I'd be looking for with this game. One might say as a writer, I tend to have a certain niche for stories dealing with 'the dreadful or absolutely terrible'. I love horror. I love melancholy story telling, and I especially love those who are curious, or adherent of such things. Beyond that I'm looking for a partial erotic aesthetic to some predicaments in the game, but not a purely smut driven story either. A balance of the two, or a plot with plenty of suggestibility, would be ideal for what I am looking for.

But before we get to that..

So what am I looking for in a writing partner?

Simply a simple person who can leave their simple thoughts behind and do something more within the abstract or strange. Preferably I'd like to seek out another who might be interested in sort of playing opposite to rendition of various fairy tale heroines, protagonists, and even some antagonists. A bonus would be a writer who's interested in not just playing just one character, but helping me orchestrate many throughout the final product of whatever our fable world might be, and involve. However, I am quite interested in some more one x one focal pairings within the greater context of whatever our story might be about. More on that can be found below. At this time I am mostly looking for people to play more antagonistic dominate figures to contrast more versatile, or reluctant protagonists.

Anything else?

Just this;
'this'
I would require anyone interest in any of the listed ideas to send me a message including the phrase "Red Roses". This indicates what I've written here. That said, I am certainly open to ideas or feedback that you might want to share with me.


So a couple plot hooks could be..

Ideas for Wonderland

Idea 1# Alice: Homecoming
Perquisition & Thoughts
Status: Open

A reused plot from a brief experience with a former writing partner. The story is set nearly a decade since Alice first went to Wonderland. Whether her experiences were real, or not, remain vague. One thing that is for certain is that Alice believes her experiences we’re more than just addled day dreams. There’s a large sense of psychological reflection here, as it’s possible that Wonderland may just be a concoction of a wayward imagination.

In the present, Alice is a disturbed college student enrolled in the visual arts. She struggles to juggle her school life with that of her quizzical qualities, that often lead her to, commit and indulge in acts of perversion. Of course there’s a reason for this as well. Her experiences in Wonderland have left her with an extravagant outlook of the world, of which has bled into her art; combining a peculiar and dark style to her artwork. More particularly, an outlook that many others do not share her darkly and rather peculiar perspective. Some suspect it’s her way of coping with the world with the world around her, after dealing with some tragic circumstance that have prevailed in her life. There’s much to Alice that few have come to know.

In this plot I’d be looking for character B (YC) to reappear in Alice’s life. I say reappear because this individual is nothing short of a familiar character. This would all be happening in the real world, which overtime would become a place that seems to blend the essence of Wonderland into its own self; a slow and eventual and unwinding reality that reflects the dark curiosities and disturbances of Alice herself. In the beginning point of the plot, these experiences would be dreams that have almost begun to blend with the reality around her, compromising the certainty of anything. Its through these dreams that she opens a kind portal that allows these creatures in, with their modern form.

A recommendation might be for YC to be the Cheshire Cat, White Rabbit, Queen Of Hearts, or Mad Hatter; all of which would exist in the real world for the very first time, finding Alice and incurring upon her life; much like an uninvited guest. There are other possibilities as well. However, one thing that would remain in place is the significance of this character. They’d serve as a kind of guide or influence into the perversions of Alice’s life, merely echoing some fraction of the hedonism she seeks in life.

Some aspects of the original stories would be altered. One such example being that Alice herself, doesn’t have particularly fond experiences of Wonderland, and would approach these characters cautiously, if not violently at times. Several other denizens from Wonderland would eventually appear in the world as well, as the threshold of reality and dreams seem to converge unto one another. Whether this is a delusion concoct by Alice alone, the only one who can see the things that she does, or something more remains a pressing mystery.

This role-play would be one of a darker nature, simply because of the eerie state of Alice’s own mind. That aesthetic will give grounds to the setting, as its implied that everything she is experiencing is a psychological reflections of sorts. This version of Alice will be quite cynical. My desire is to produce the perversions of that mind into the story through a multitude of different shades; some much darker than others. One might even say she contests with her darker nature, desiring to better understand and indulge it, at the fear of losing her mind. And for this I’d like to write with someone who’s open to themes of personal horror, as much as I’d like to find a writer who can play a convincing instigator, of sorts, of whom is capable of influencing Alice further down the rabbit hole, and into the the hedonism of her mind.

I’m fairly open to the possibility of kinks. However, dubcon would be the most prevalent theme here, as Alice herself will uncertain of many of her choices. Consensual and non consensual will also play minor roles in this plot.



Idea 2# Not Alice
Perquisition & Thoughts
Status: Taken

A modern spin-off Alice in Wonderland, though with a more linear focus. This plot involves a prolific killer / psychopath of sorts with an moniker known as; The Mad Hatter. For years this individual has been trying to find the right Alice. And has made no shortage of murder and chaos in their wake. This is characters methods involve using psychoactive hallucinatory drugs on their victims to try and influence them into whom he says they are. This killer has also made a pretty penny selling these drugs off the streets. For college students, at  the local university Looking Glass is all the rage. As of recently this individual has set his sights on a new candidate, a college girl with a certain niche for peculiarity and mischief. Her name is Alicia too!

So, they put all their right precautions into place and make their move against their next victim. Only there's a twist. The more acquainted the captor and victim (Alice) become with one another, the more the killer realizes that Alice may be outright more mad than even themselves! Alice holds a dark secret with Hatter being the one to essentially let that secret out, effectively changing her forever. In time, the two enter a disconcerting relationship with one another before beginning a campaign of crime riddled madness!

Note: This plot can be tackled from any angle I've share here. Be that with a focus on the capture, or the subsequent fall out of their bizarre relationship with one another. Or, even all things in between. One idea here is that the drug,Looking Glass acts as a gateway to surrealistic experiences. It’s through these experiences that episodic Wonderland-like occurrence might take place, allowing the tone of writing to shift into a more peculiar fantasy, whilst still maintaining an established down to earth feel at the core.

I’d also like to write this plot with someone who is open to writing a thriller type of story, as I suspect the Hatter in this dynamic, to feel particularly unsettingly.


Idea 3# Malice In Wonderland
Perquisition & Thoughts
Status: Open

Less of a fleshed out plot and more of a fleeting idea: I’d absolutely love to explore a role-play plot in the vein of the Grimm Fairy Tales Present: Alice In Wonderland comics. These comics (and that of the art style used in them) are a moderately known line of comics, particularly recognized by their art, if not their stories. The exact tales deal with a twisted take on the Alice In Wonderland stories, playing with the idea of Alice being a kind of chosen figure but based on an ugly history that stems back down the line of her ancestry. In this scenario Alice herself is special, despite not knowing of why. Wonderland itself exists as an actual realm -- the actual realm that epitomizes chaos itself. And for some time it's god (The Jabberwock) has wanted to leak Wonderland into the real world. Pawned off unknowingly to fulfill a dark prophecy that would compromise her body and mind to insufferable madness and torment, Alice must survive Wonderland and return home. However, the journey of doing so is hardly a light undertaking. The denizens of the realm seek Alice for their own perversions and malignant agendas, which means danger could be at quite possibly any turn.

I wouldn’t mind doing something in the likeness of this for a plot. It would be a grim tale of perversion with an undertone of horror since Wonderland, though, still nonsense and fantastically beautiful, would be a terrible place for any right mind individual to desire to be. Alternatively, a generations concept could be approached as well, leading myself to play a descendant (a great grandchild or a daughter) of the original Alice herself, as it is she's found that it's her time to discover the insidious truths of Wonderland and that of herself. If anyone is interested in the general idea of a scenario like this, I’d certainly be most open to plotting out more about it.



Idea 4 Lonely Hearts & Rough Diamonds
Perquisition & Thoughts
Status: Open

The below is a unique pairing plot based in a Wonderland setting that is entirely absent of Alice all together. The plot desires myself in the role of The Red Queen seeking to find a White Queen or King in the role of my collaborative partner.

The Looking Glass land is a peculiar medieval fantasy realm, where the suits of red’s and whites, perpetually battle with one another through bloody crusade and preposterous reason. However, beyond that, the Looking Glass realm is material realm of chaos, that sustains under the essence of a madden eldritch god. It is said that those that come here are destined to be lost; and those that are from here are destined to never be found.

or centuries, or possibly longer -- it’s hard to be sure of time in Wonderland -- the kingdoms have been in bloody stalemate with one another. Crusades seeking the spoils of war and conquering ambition have gone on for as far as anyone can remember. The land is in need of a hero; a special individual of whom can bring the chaos of the land to a reasonable slow, to an abated slow. But this tale isn’t about that hero, or who it might just be. No. In place of that is a plot about the circumstances of which would eventually play a decisive role in that eventual prophetical forthcoming.

Our story is about a certain ruthless, cunning, maleficent queen and her vying rival. Or perhaps more particularly.. their succeeding heir or challenger. For this plot I’d play the queen in this dynamic match up, while YC would play the the vying royal rival heir. MC would be from the kingdom of Red and yours from the White. My characters stay in power has stood far beyond the length of any other ruler in the realm. YC has is a revered individual with a noble reputation. For centuries MC has been trying to overthrow your characters kingdom. But YC’s lineage has remained adamantly unwavering. YC could be anyone from a royal aristocrat, to a knight or even a rival queen; anything fitting of a realm that’s based upon a giant chessboard that shapes the state of a nonsensical medieval fairy tale fantasy world. YC would know much about my own characters, knowing them to be their estranged, though, greatest enemy. Still, something about YC would lead them to blossom a curiosity of mine, which would eventually became a bloom of their slow and eventual downfall; a way in where all other methods have failed or is this all but a ruse cleverly played out by the wicked Red queen.

This plot would be a deceptive love story turned perverse, as a lonely, but corrupted queen seduces the heart of your character -- eventually leading to shift among the state of stalemates. How she goes about this will be varied through forms of seductive charisma and manipulation that comes in the form of her charms. Or is it all but a trick, a clever deception of dark and tricky magic. YC would suffice to fill the void of disparage in my own, while MC would give your character the finesse to be a worthy ruler; all while they each try to only give in fragments of their penchant for one another, as they desire to keep the other under their thumb.  Oh, what might the conclusion of all this be?


Idea 5 Wonderland.Exe
Perquisition & Thoughts
Status: Open

A modern adaption of Alice in Wonderland, with a virtual reality twist. Alice fits the role of a naive, and aspired programmer. Skilled at the trade, but undoubtedly worn down by her stressful job and barely existent living away from work, Alice is tasked with the newest company project. To build a simulation experience unlike to other. To which leads her to create a very strange, though highly advanced program known as 'Wonderland.exe.' It's simple really. Wonderland.exe is an open simulator of sorts, ruled over by an artificial intelligence known as; The Red Queen or King. The intention of the program is to be a limitless hub for eccentric virtual, though tangible creation. The further Alice builds on the project, the stranger her life becomes, as the program seemingly slowly starts to seep into Alice's own deeper subconscious, redesigning Wonderland.Exe in ways she is most certain she did not design herself. At first she assumes it to be a coding error, or a glitch in the system. However, the further she looks the more apparent it becomes to her that the A.I is actually deliberately straying from their code, compromising the system under its own control. Additionally it's been creating a number of rogue programs and viruses within the system (notable based off of titular denizens from the tale). these denizens are a safeguard to outside tampering, preventing the system from only being reworked from within. This leaves Alice with little choice, as she’s forced to enter the system and fix the technical glitches from the inside. There's no way the company can release the program like this, it's nearly impossible to understand what could happen to those that enter the program. Little does she know that once she's consciously into the program there is some trouble getting out. And perhaps what is more unsettling is that the artificial intelligence has found some leeway into its creators mind, extorting what it has found within.

Note: This is tackling the concept of Wonderland through a much more scientific approach. The world itself is an open sim where almost anything is possible. That said, it's landscape has been predesignated by the artificial intelligence that has compromised its security. This had led the realm within to become an assorted mess of nonsensical fantastic tropes that shape the realm. Alice herself does have some control in this role-play, but is limited in exactly what that means. In the game she adopts an avatar of sorts while engaged with the world. The world itself is tangible even in virtual reality. Scent, smell and touch are all things that affect Alice through her avatar and in the real world.

The tale here would be about Alice trying to regain control of the system with the world essentially fighting back, but in more lewd and obscure ways. It's easy to become lost in this world because it's so real and in that sense Alice is imminent danger at any turn, regards of the shapes or forms it may wear.


Ideas for Red Riding Hood

Idea 1# Untitled Red Riding Hood Plot
Perquisition & Thoughts
Status: Open

This is another old plot that I’ve developed some interest in potentially reviewing. The core of the plot deals with Red Riding Hood nearly a decade after the Wolf attacked and consumed her grandmother. Little Red Riding Hood has grown up. She’s a huntress now, who makes a means for herself through fighting creatures of the dark forest. Few have seen her, as she remains reclusive outside her exceptional skill in her trade. Red riding Hood has become as much of a legend as she is a mystery. However, something has given cause to draw Red out.

Attacks in and around the dark forest - known here as Mystwood - have begun to escalate, as the creatures within have begun to behave abnormally. The wolf that once attacked Red is long believed to be deceased, and Red has been looking for a new face meant to feed her underlying desire for vengeance. The last time the creatures of the forest started acting astir, Red lost a family member after all.

Your character is a descendant of the wolf that attacked Red, a member of a pack both feared an hunted by the people of Mystwood. It’s been through Red’s traduce that the wolf packs of Mystwood have been condemned by the people of the forest. This young woman, through her physical incursion and defame, as played a part in making the this realm a dangerous place for you to live.

The plot starts when your character is captured, trapped by one of the famous huntresses traps. You’ve heard stories about what this girl is like, and what she does to your kind. She confronts you whilst your strung up in a trap one late night, you expect the worst from this circumstance. It’s just in that same very instance that you learn the Huntress needs your aid, she has not come to destroy you. She takes you on hesitantly as a partner. You’re a necessity to her furthering coming to understand the foreboding circumstance that is plummeting the forest into perpetual disorder.

In this plot Red will struggle with her biased animosity for the creature she’s working alongside. Red has many disordered feelings for Werewolves of the forest. Pursuing a life sourced of vengeance has made it difficult from her to break from her habitual cycle. Your character would be a naive werewolf of the forest, as mentioned, a descendant of the same Wolf that played a part in generating this woman’s vindictive cycles. The wolf would be struggling with what they are, as they are still new to the drive of the wolven desires that perpetually leads their hunger.


Miscellaneous

Idea 1# Fantasia Coalition; A Fairy Tale Dungeon Crawler Adventure
Perquisition & Thoughts
Status: Open

For a while I've been wanting to do a sort unique game based on a purely original platform and very unique premise. I've been mulling over a way to make this idea worthwhile, although putting it's final pieces together is something I'd like to do through collaborate with another writer. Most of us are familiar with dungeon crawler RPG's I'm sure? They typically involve fantasy settings that have players navigating through dark dungeons, realms, or labyrinths for the sake of battling monsters, uncharting loot, and setting the players on great quests for a sense of player glory, or to disrupt some great evil working to cause destruction to the characters and or land. Taking this concept into mind I've had a sort of interesting idea to implement this into a fairy tale aesthetic, effectively changing the archetype roles of a traditional player party into a group of fairy tale heroines, in the place of player classes. These heroines would compose a small party (preferably of three, since I'd be playing the majority of them if not all of them) each one having their classified fit of expertise, and contrary weaknesses, effectively bringing the group to a unified fold.

As a collaborative player (YC) the individual I'd seek to write against would play the environment, NPC's, a legion or select few bad guys and finally, the conflicts these heroines might face in their varied form. The idea here is that the dungeon master wants to lead these characters to perilous ends, or temporary fates, while the coalition fights against such outcomes. Capture release, or capture escape, would be very much appreciated here, to keep things progressive and developing, and avoid making the plot a bit too changeless. Ideally, I'd like to write against a dungeon master who can world build and keep things progressing along with the plot, to an eventual end game. What that end game might be is more open to debate. I'm happy to discuss pace, as I know jumping from character to character isn't easy for most people. Additionally, if the player in mind was interested, they could also play characters of their own that fit into this concept and support the narrative in whatever sort of way they might wish to scheme.

Plot wise: I was thinking something relatively straightforward that could either become more elaborate or remain fairly linear in nature. My basic idea to explain a concept like this is to say a great evil has dissolved the foundations of independent fairy tale realms and united them into one abyssal plane of existence, that takes bits and pieces from each realm, making it both familiar, but very capricious to my heroine coterie. Furthermore, just for the sake of background detail, I'd also like to include the concept of my fairy tale heroines having founded a sort of coalition group, that brings them together as their members may work through different places throughout this realm.

Note; Just a small note to sort of clarify a common question. Given this is a dungeon crawler RPG some might suspect a system to fit into the general concept. I'm not experienced with systems. However, I wouldn't be against implementing some simplistic dice-rolls (we'd have to talk more about this one on one) into the more substantial free form format that I'd prefer to take with running this idea. Alternatively, I am very comfortable with just taking things in a fully free form direction.


Idea 2# Fantasia Online; An Online Fairy Tale Dungeon Crawler Adventure
Perquisition & Thoughts

Status: Open

Originally I was going to just add this to the plot listed directly above this one. However, in light of explaining exactly what I had in mind, it later made more sense to me to just make it its own plot.

Taking the general dungeon crawler concept from the plot above leads to an altered scenario. The alternative scenario would take much from the Fantasia Coalition scenario, but we’d put things inside a kind of computer game, where players host themselves in likeness to Fairy Tale characters. Please see Wonderland.Exe for more details. Essentially its focus would be an action / adventure type of game with some of the semblance of various fairy tales creating the in game aesthetic. The game itself is a massive online multiplayer that’s reached a beta testing stage. Everything was going smoothly, until the last update went life. Ever since that patch something insidious has been added into the game, that goes beyond the purpose of adding thrill to the game. Ever since the last patch, it's been that the game is out to get the player, and through more than just challenging ways.

The game works in the sense that it’s a virtual reality hands on experience, first of its kind. Players enter the game through a virtual system that connects their subconscious to the game. This means, once they are in the game, their conscienceless is overtaken by it. Inside players can experience a living fairy tale adventure, complete with all senses of interaction. Or at least that is the intention.

The antagonist (YC as the dungeon master)  could be anything from a virus of sorts, to a missing conceptualized character. It can also adopt whatever form it may so desire (be that villains from fairy tales or something more obscure). Anyway, the point is it’s causing trouble. It’s somehow found a way to bridge various simulations of the game into one another, creating a world mixed of various fairy tale realms littered with imbalanced foes or quests, meant to deter and defeat the player, to what only could be described as preserve and debased ends.

My character would be a beta tester or a founding player of the program. Ultimately their objective is to either escape or defeat the source of the trouble in the simulation. They could be accompanied by a few others, of which would also take the shape of different fairy tale characters. This means I'd be juggling several characters. However, I'd maintain a focus on one to three characters, as the central figures of the plot. Your character, as the source of trouble could be anything, and is limited only to the code of the game.




Idea 3# Super Tales
Perquisition & Thoughts
Status: Open

Fairy Tales meets superheroes. A cast of heroes and heroines, exhibit spiritually from their fairy tales, act as superheroes in the setting.  A world known as New Fantasia exists as a setting. Fantasia is an assembly of various fairy tale realms suffused into a huge, fantasy modern, metropolitan city. Whether or not its inhabitants know of their true selves is up subject to writers preference.

I have less actual fleshed out ideas for this, as much as the concept appeals to me. Although, I do have several plot hooks. This plot can be something small or extremely big on scale.

Plot Hook #1: MC is a new member to the alliance of fairytale heroes. She is a fable who is newer to her life of heroism and vigilante activity. She joins the assembly for whatever reason, and is overseen by her archetypical opposite, a fabled hero who has been with the assembly
since the beginning of it’s creation. Or maybe she has cause to join the opposite spectrum of heroes and villains. It’s their contrast together that makes for interesting chemistry between the persons, as MC tries to find her place in allegiance to yours.

Plot Hook# 2: In New Fantasia, it’s common for fabled folk to remain unaware of their potential until they reach the status of their awakening. Not all fairytale folk do, but those that have become capable of both great and terrible things, that for a time, have converged against one another. My character is someone who’s recently come to discover their awakening. They have become reckless force, unaffiliated to either the side of heroes or villains. It is during this time that they are approached by either one of two of the sides. The plot would focus on their coming to terms with their new power / responsibility. A villain could seduce them along the way, whilst a hero might question their standing in the world, through the anomalous actions of my character. It’s important here that, for some reason, MC and YC have a connection, even if they do not see entirely eye to eye. It’s from that connection that sensual experiences would fall fittingly into place.


Idea 4# New Fableshore
Perquisition & Thoughts
Status: Open

A while ago I ran a group game that had a short run. The game itself was sort of a take on an original 'Fabletown' (if you're familiar with the comics) and a 'Once Upon A Time' sort of game. The concept of this town followed the lives of 'Mysts' (fairy tale folk) who exist in a more modern world and infrastructure. Every person in this city is some sort of fairy tale character from an established story. A mysterious wide scale event (known as The Cataclysm) pulled these fairy tale people from their original worlds and complied the essence of each world into a modern infrastructure, that took the shape of a large town. Everything about their town was not alike that of our own real world, but with a touch of fairy tale minded elements that made things blend majestically into a more modern fantasy sort of universe. The core themes of the game dealt with drama, crime, intrigue, magic and mystery and love. The games aesthetic was almost noir, as it had a certain grim to it's feeling of a weathered down small city that had become a disputed urban society for fairy tale folks from various and differing fairy tale societies.

I'd be looking to revisit this world with anyone who might be interested in doing so. Originally I played Alice - a drug dealer and bar wench in this world - and I wouldn't mind doing it again. That said I'm not limited to her alone and have created several unique concepts that fit this world. However, given that this is an entire town of various Mysts, from all kinds of different fairy tales, I wouldn't be against playing more characters as NPC's or supporting characters as well, wherever they might fit. Finding a plot hook to sort of sprout a game between myself and another writer shouldn't prove to hard, if there is anyone out there who might be interested in playing in this kind of world. I'd be happy to guide them into the fundamentals of the game. And as always, my horizons are certainly open for interesting ideas of your own, or input you might have.

A few random plot hooks could be..

- Your Myst (whoever they may be) becomes witness to something that he or she was not meant to see. Something terrible has happened in Fableshore and only your Myst and my own know anything about the truth behind this terrible deed; a plot takes shape beyond their knowledge.

- In the beginning everyone thought all Mysts in Fablegrove popped up after the cataclysm, only that's not the case. Your character is someone who has been somewhat of late arrival into the world, which begs to suggest that the possibility of even going back to fairy tale lands might exist. Your character stumbles into this new world unsure of where or why they are there. They feel alone, until they meet my own character. My character is someone who seems quite expected to sort of take their hand and be their guide. But is there more to my characters intentions then what seems? For Fableshore is a strange and cynical place controlled by those who like to pull the strings of others to obtain their own ideals.

- Your character is new to Fableshore, or is suffering from some crisis within their life in the town. If the life crisis angle is taken, your character is a member of the better society that exists in Fableshore (known as The Camelot Court). They are among the wealthier Mysts and have not ventured far into the more shambled lower class district of Fablegrove. That is until one night they decide that they need something more then the practicalities of their routine and miserable life to help them cope, or escape it entirely. On that night they venture to a place called 'Wonder District'. Wonder District is the low class district of Fablegrove. There they meet a girl who says she can give them what they need for the right price. They make a deal and quickly their arrangements bring them closer together, dangerously close in fact.

Other ideas are W.I.P. However, I'm not limited to these alone.


Idea 5# Unsorted Ideas (Other Fairy Tales/Characters)

My interest in twisted fairy tale games exceeds even what's been shared here. Admittedly, I have some interest in potentially exploring concepts relating to; The Wizard Oz, The Little Mermaid and possibly (though, it will need some convincing) Red Riding Hood or Cinderella. I'm open to hearing ideas pertaining these concepts as well.
