"Didn't you post an interest check a week ago?"
No, I posted it six days ago. In the time between that thread and this one, I was suddenly hit with a crippling need for more plots and I remembered three that I wanted to share.
First things first:
Now for the actual plots:
Quick note: All of these ideas are fairly flexible and I'm cool with either character. My default writing style lends itself to somewhere between High Casual and Advanced, but I don't mind toning it down or up if that's your preference. Leave a comment if interested and I'll message ASAP. Looking forward to anything!
- Dark for the sake of dark. We're not thirteen anymore; let's stop romanticizing violence and bastardizing the concept of mental illnesses. This is not to say that we can't tackle tough topics; but I ask we do it in an accurate and realistic manner. If a real person can't overcome the temptation to self-harm in years, then it's unlikely that a character can get over it the minute they lay eyes on an attractive stranger.
- Pedophilia, speaks for itself.
- Rape, speaks for itself.
- Smut, in most cases. It's not that I'm completely against the idea but it's difficult for me to write since I'm asexual. If the roleplay lasts long, I may warm up to the idea of sex but until then I'd rather fade out and avoid awkwardness.
- Roleplay over threads, PMs, emails and Skype.
- Research
- Play any gender and participate in any pairing combination (MxM, MxF, FxF, NBxNB, NBxF...The list goes on.)
- Change the plot for your sake if it gets difficult for you to handle.
- Be patient. I know not everyone can reply everyday, and I won't hold you accountable for it. However, if I don't hear from you in a month, I'll officially drop the thread. If you ever feel pressured or tired, just say so! I don't mind at all. My partner's well-being is my #1 priority.
- Talk, plan and socialize OOC. I oftentimes find that roleplays last longer if you're comfortable with the other writer, so I tend to be rather extroverted. I'm fine with dropping the professionalism two hours into meeting you.
Based off of: Tesis Sobre un Homicidio
Let’s kick things off with my favorite plot idea. Tesis Sobre un Homicidio is an Argentine thriller that revolves around a professor and a student. Don’t think dirty here, it’s not a story about an affair (though we can work that in to add extra layers of tension), but instead a murder mystery. The drama starts unfolding when the corpse of a young woman is found a few meters from the Faculty of Law around the time that the professor’s first seminar is about to take place. Determined to uncover the truth and convinced that the perpetrator is one of his students, He begins a personal investigation that soon becomes an obsession and inevitably creeps into his darkest desires.
I won’t describe the actual plot of the work much further for two reasons. Firstly, I don’t want to spoil it. Secondly, I also don’t want to to the exact same thing. After finishing it, I remember feeling like it would have worked better as a series, and I would love to turn it into a long-term RP with numerous twists and plotlines. It doesn’t really matter to me which character I get to play as so long as we’re doing something.
Based off of: Diarios de Motocicleta
Diarios de Motocicleta’s movie is an old favorite of mine, and I try to watch it once every few months. Personally, I’d really like to write a journey inspired (be it directly or indirectly) by the memoir. Don’t worry, we don’t necessarily have to touch on controversial political subjects. I’m fine with reducing the story to one of two idealists that leave everything to explore their continent. South America isn’t our only option either, I’d be just as happy to write about the European countryside, Asian cities and African landscapes. I envision it as the type of roleplay that is constantly moving and evolving, partly because of the fact that the constant change of scenery would invite a treasure trove of conflicts and happenings.
I should also note that there’s not a specific timeline for this one. It could be set anywhere from a few years after the work was published to decades into the future.
Based off of: Nothing is Real and Everything is Possible
I actually downloaded this book’s sample weeks ago but only now got around to reading it. It’s one of those cultural analysis books, the type that most people would skim over in a coffeehouse. I’m in love but unfortunately I have no cash. Since I may never get to read the entire thing, I’d like to make a plot out of some of my favorite parts. At one point in the book, the writer tells the story of Oliona, a recent graduate of “Gold Digger Academy” that is hunting for a rich man to marry. He goes on to describe the numerous tricks the woman has to capture the attention of men and the many tragedies that still await her. She’s fiercely cunning, but has self-awareness: She’s pushing twenty one and knows that eventually her sugar daddy will let her go, so she goes to clubs every night to find herself a new one while avoiding his bodyguards and underlings. what What was thinking was a plot centering around someone like Oliona and her target. Hell, it doesn’t even really matter to me if it’s not MxF. If we make it MxM or FxF, it’ll probably even be innovative.
