Welcome to Story Planning!
If you have a grand idea that needs a few extra hands to come to life, Story Planning is the way to go! This is a place to find participants for a large scale idea or a story that requires more than a few characters.What Story Planning is For
Plot Ideas- If you have an idea for a plot you'd like to carry out, post the "Plot Idea" tag to let folks know! This is a great way to execute a part of your character's past, get them into interesting situations, and more. Get creative! Plot Ideas should not be used as a dating service. These are meant to be a SPECIFIC STARTING POINT, not a full-fledged thread planning service or a general "Who wants to RP?" listing.
- What IS a Plot Idea...
- "Let's organize a food fight in the Great Hall!"
- "I want to develop the reasons why my character hates vampires."
- "I want to explore a foreign country and meet someone new."
- "Let's organize a food fight in the Great Hall!"
- What is NOT a Plot Idea...
- "My character needs friends. Want to RP?"
- "I want to RP in the past. Who's with me?"
- "I need some inspiration for this character. Anyone have any ideas?"
Posting A Request
What To Post- While the form provided below is optional, we highly recommend it. It's an easy way to clearly convey what you are looking for in a way that is most likely to be acceptable based on the rules for this forum. Whether you use the form or not, though, try to use as much detail as possible and be specific. Let people know exactly what you would like to do or what roles in your story you need filled.
- The following thread types are not considered plot ideas and are not allowed in this section, but may be posted in your Dragon Lair forum or Dragon Lair Chat:
- Requests for general RP Partners
- Requests for friends, enemies, or other "Networking" threads.
- Any kind of pre-planned relationship request.
- Thread advertisements / requests for more players in a story.
- "I'm bored, who wants to RP?" Type Posts
Optional Request Forms

FOOTNOTES:
- Please note that plotting threads over 30 days old will be locked and archived. If your thread gets archived and you were not done with it, feel free to start a new thread.
- Threads can be bumped by the original poster only if they have not received a response in one week using the "Bump Thread" button at the bottom of your post.
- Romance and relationship requests are not allowed strictly because we believe these sorts of things should be discovered naturally through RP, and romantic relationships are not the focus of our game.
