I enjoy MxM, I enjoy the scenes between the sheets (or wherever, really), and I enjoy RPing. Time to blend all that together in a 1x1. [b]This means I require two things: MxM and the steamy scenes.[/b] If not already obvious, we will conduct these RPs through PMs only. I don’t mind if you’d like the less acceptable acts to be the focus of the RP. I prefer an even mix of story and explicit romance. You do not have to share that ratio preference. Before we jump into ideas, I’ll lay down a few ground rules so you can determine if I’m the kind of person you want to 1x1 with. Please read everything before making your decision. [hider=Rules] [list]1. I don’t like hard-lined literacy ladder expectations, so I don’t set any specific requirements. [b]Write sensibly, considerately, and carefully.[/b] That is all. 2. In tandem with the above rule, there is no minimum post length. As long as you’re following the bolded section of the first rule, length is never going to be an issue. 3. I do not [i]need[/i] OOC small talk to remain interested. I will, however, gladly chat with you should [i]you[/i] need it. 4. I [i]do[/i] need communication of delays, boredom, stylistic concerns, and general grievances. Whatever’s wrong, we can either work it out or properly end the RP without resorting to flaking tactics. [list]As a note, when I say “communication,” I really just mean a quick “I’m/I’ll be busy so no posts for a while.” That is really all you need to say. Justify further if you’d like, but simply telling me you’re busy is more than enough. I also don’t need time estimates on an upcoming post (because life doesn’t work around our personal schedules most of the time). As long as we’re adhering to the “without resorting to flaking tactics” part, I will trust you to resume whenever you resume (unless, of course, you’ve dropped).[/list] 5. I don’t have any limits outside of legally prohibited content (but ask me anyway to make sure it isn't some gray area or just a backstory/plot element you want incorporated—I'm very lenient as long as we've talked about it). My only request is that you walk me through—or allow me some time to do the research on—a particular kink that I have no clue how to RP but you would really like to try. (Obviously, all discussion of this must be via PM so the Guild’s AdSense doesn’t faint from abject horror.) [list]Mature content has the unfortunate pitfall of age requirement simply to avoid issues with minors. Tell me you’re 18+ at least once in your PM if you do ultimately decide to RP with me. For the record, I am 18+.[/list] 6. PM me your rendition of “naughty at night.” The piece can be as long or as short as you like (but please give me time if you decide to PM a novel) and can cover anything so long as you stick to the theme. If I enjoy your style between the sheets, I will send you a brief scene in response and you can then decide if my style is to your tastes. I believe this is only fair. Of course, if I don’t like it, I’ll tell you directly and in no unclear terms. Please do the same for me. [list]I recommend a short piece, not because I wouldn’t read longer ones, but because I don't want your efforts to go to waste if your style is not my cup of tea.[/list] [/list] [/hider] [hider=Plots and Pairings] The following are two plots I would like to RP and I would like to devote myself to these plots should someone decide to RP them with me. Thus, [b]I will limit myself to only one partner per plot[/b], to ensure that I am able to give those potential partners the quality of writing they deserve. As you read the two plots, you will find I am very much a fan of fantasy RPs, though this does not mean I will only RP fantasy plots. [b]Of course, your plots are more than welcome here.[/b] After we’ve agreed to RP with one another, I will gladly discuss with you any plots you may want to try. I am also open to a variety of fandoms (just ask), but keep in mind I likely do not know all the fandoms you do and I may not like all the fandoms you like. These plots are open to modifications or a complete overhaul, if necessary. I can play either role. Please choose one. If you also do not have a preference, then I will choose first. [s][u]Without Words[/u] [b]Human Mage/Fae[/b] [list]The realm of the fae, known in the human tongue as Stellmaris, has always kept a haughty distance from humanity even as the two races mingled and coexisted on both sides of the divide. The fae, holding great power over the forces of magic, found human mages sorely lacking and the realm of man wholly lackluster compared to the dazzle of the Stellmarian capital, Naeri. The humans, meanwhile, balked at the fae’s monopoly on magical production and refusal to divulge alchemical secrets with anyone they deemed unworthy. Our story takes place in a period of rising turmoil and distrust between the two worlds, seen through the eyes of an exiled fae prince and a skilled human mage. As politically corrupt as their human counterparts, the monarchy governing Stellmaris does its damnedest to keep the lineage of kings and queens within a particular bloodline, quick to exile any dissenters to the human realm. With the eldest prince neatly in line for the throne, imagine the consternation when the current king, on his deathbed, revealed the existence of his true eldest son, a mute child born from a mistress and hidden in plain sight as a castle servant for the past 20 years. In the uproar that followed, the Doctrine of Royal Blood, a council of nobles that oversaw disputes in succession, declared the prince’s lineage unfitting for the throne on the basis of his “uncertain parentage,” a polite way of referring to his mother’s unsavory profession. In direct defiance of the king’s orders to spare his son, the Doctrine exiled the prince to the human realm, stripping him of his title and voiding his existence in the royal family’s registrar. Our story begins here.[/list][/s] [s][u]The Taste of Pride[/u] [b]Summoned Entity/Summoner[/b] [list]In a steampunk Victorian Era, mages and humans despise one another to the point of war. The only thing reining in the two factions is the unsteady truce between the human government and the Sanctions of Magic, the controlling body of the mage faction comprised of the thirteen most powerful mages of the time. Also an enforcement unit, the Sanctions lead squadrons to deliver swift and brutal punishment to any mage rebelling against the rules set forth by the Treaty of London, a piece of enchanted paper signed by all the major leaders of both factions that has prevented war for a hundred years. For particularly difficult cases of rebellion, the mages look to Sanction Eleven’s special operations unit, the Hands of Merlin, an elite squad of five hand-picked mages raised and trained by Sanction Eleven himself. The Hands of Merlin boast a 97% success rate in missions and are rumored to be more powerful than some of the Sanctions. In this squad, however, a schism exists. A mage specializing in summoning spells one day called upon a powerful, monstrous creature from beyond, binding it to himself with a forbidden blood contract. Half of the team’s successes come from the power of this contract alone, and their animosity towards him grows by the day. Unable to reproduce the summoning, the Hands of Merlin would rather lose a finger than admit the mage’s superiority. With a major mission soon to be upon them, the mage’s teammates have decided that, rather than displaying the fruits of their own efforts, this would be the perfect opportunity to rid themselves of an overwhelming shadow. Our story begins here.[/list][/s] [/hider]
