If you are reading this it means that Yen has decided to do another unconventional request thread. This thread isn't just about me requesting roleplays. It's about all of us requesting roleplays. This will occur by each of us posting a plot we'd like to roleplay at that moment and seeing if there are any plots in the thread that appeal to us.
Now, before we turn this into a free for all there are a couple of rules:
1. Don't go overboard. One plot post every couple of days or one post per page of the thread if this takes off. The idea is to all post a plot that we're interested in at that moment, not copy your whole request thread into this one.
2. Follow the format outlined in the next post. There are (hopefully) going to be a lot of requests in this thread by the time we're done coming from many different writers with many different writing styles. In order to streamline the process of looking for a partner please follow the outline for defining what your roleplay is about and what you'd like to play
3. Contact info goes after the plot. If you don't post any it should be assumed that you're cool with people PMing you. Also, if you only roleplay over a medium that is off site mention that here.
4. Wherever you discuss this it shouldn't be here. The way this thread works is: You post a plot, someone likes it and contacts you, you discuss it over the medium in which you were contacted. Questions/comments about the thread should be PMed to me rather than posted here.
5.a. No getting super possessive over plots. Plots posted to this thread are intended to enrich the community and give us all fun stuff to roleplay. If you take a plot for your own request thread it'd probably be cool to say who came up with it but at the end of the day, when you post the plot here it becomes everybody's plot.
5.b. While you are encourage to take plots you like for your own threads don't repost them here. We don't need people tumbling over each other to try to all get partners for the same plot in the same thread. It'd be like some sort of weird Threadception kinda deal.
6. Be mindful of plot size. Big plots are fine, encouraged even, but if it takes place in a universe you've designed which comes with a long expansive history and a half dozen distinct species you've invented please give the gist of the plot here and add in a little footnote saying that you'll discuss all of these details with your partners. Obviously feel free to include any world building stuff that actually is an important plot point, but if it takes up more than a paragraph to get across and doesn't serve to drive the primary story, maybe wait to talk about it with your partner.
7. If you find yourself full on requests or no longer interested in the plot put some sort of blatantly obvious +++NOT SEARCHING+++ tag infront of your post. Leave the plot here for other people who might want to try it out with different partners.
