My Plot Partners

[Ariane Chan]

Disenchanted
Members: Viv, Izy (Nat)
Characters: Ariane, Aurora, Jez (Olivia)

Ariane needs to post for Jez. Will try to do that today. Done.

---

Yin and Yang
Members: Viv, Kia
Characters: Aurora, Kael (Ariane, Lynne)

Aurora's waiting on Kael, though if you want to me to start another post to get it moving I could do that soon. Really, I think we need a sort of plot outline. ;) We know what the future will be, but what's the present?

---

Drinking With The Devil
Members: Viv, Adam
Characters: India, Drake

India needs to post for Drake. That'll happen today. Or maybe tomorrow. After this I think we need a bit of discussion about where we're going. I like letting plots flow, but I need some sense of direction.

Swing My Way & Four Shades of Gray
Members: Viv, Adam, Maryn, Astrid (Joseph, Dylan)
Characters: Theo, Scott, Lori, Oscar (August, Dylan, Finn, E)

Theo's waiting on Oscar. I don't know what's happening on Lori/Scott's end. Do you two have any ideas/plans for your characters (with or without each other)? Adam and I need to type up a quick summary (well, we need to discuss it again really) about incorporating Finn and E in the future. Astrid and I are pretty set for Theo and Oscar at the moment, and I know what will happen soon for Theo with Scott and Lori. The question of Scott's sexuality and how that will come about still needs to be finalised, though.

Bloodties & More Than Just Friends
Members: Viv, Joseph (Nat, Kia, Julia)
Characters: Seth, Chace (Riley, Evelyn, Sandy)

Seth is waiting on Chace - unless you want me to start another one, Joseph. :) I think we need a quick update about where we are in the plot and what will happen next. I want to move it quickly, so really I want Seth and Willow's relationship to move to the next level and thus set it the plot off.

How To Save A Life / Hot and Cold
Members: Viv, Adam, Heather, Astrid
Characters: Heidi, Ben, Maribeth, Viola

This plot desperately needs some discussion. However, what we have so far is this: Heidi is waiting on Ben to reply telling her Miguel is dead and she will mourn him and further strain her friendship with Ben; Heidi needs to post for Maribeth in the aftermath and show their existing friendship; Ben and Maribeth are good friends, I assume; Heidi and Vi are also good friends; and Ben and Vi have an awkward romantic relationship (?). I propose that we begin on Hot and Cold (Adam, this'll require you to tell us your plans a bit more). We need to somehow incorporate Julia even though she's not here anymore. I was thinking that we could have her leave the hospital really suddenly, and this could be a blow to everyone, especially Mar? I don't know if in our plot Mar and Julia are meant to be best friends. Anyway, I think Ben's relationship with all the women will be very weird: his and Heidi's will be damaged because of Miguel, Mar will be upset because of Julia's departure and Ben and Vi become strained through choosing sides when they discover they both know Heidi?

The Colour of Slytherin
Members: Viv, Mandi, Adam, Joseph
Characters: Dakota, Josephine, Stephen, Kailyn, Tiernan

Mandi, you can brief me when you're ready. :) But I will try to reply to Stephen with D today (make that tomorrow). I've already spelled out the Queens plan in the other owl, everyone else.

---

Directions of Change
Members: Viv, Adam
Characters: Hermione, Adam

Hermione's waiting on Adam. I don't there's much to do here, but I'd quite like a discussion update anyway to see where we're heading and what will happen next.

---

Under My Skin & Against All Odds
Members: Nat, Justin (Viv, Joseph, Julia, Pyro)
Characters: Riley, Jack (Erica, Seth, Chace, Sandy, Jackson)

Erica will post at some point, as will Seth, which I will do today. 'Fraid I'm gonna have to make that tomorrow or just after Christmas.


It seems I'm finding posting hard to get back into. Rather than a lack of inspiration, I feel a bit... clogged up - like I haven't posted for ages and suddenly it's not coming easy to me. When I do post I tend to write really long ones as well, like there's a lot to get out, so... please bear with me. I have a feeling this process will be slow and laborious (for me it's slow to post four times a day in the holidays lol), but I will dso my best. Hopefully my writing 'airways' will clear up tomorrow. (:

[Ivy Tunstall]

Yey thank you!

[Wynd Lehane]

Oh, was I supposed to start a post? Or are you talking about Chicken Bolts? I thought I would just end that. I agree that we need an update. Let's get this plot moving.

[Theo Darke]

Yes, do end it. :) And then I'll see to starting a new one. Preferably we should have a brief discussion about what it'll be about sometime soon.


@everyone: see above for pink-coloured edits/updates.

[Ariane Chan]

Hm... I'm not going to be on Four Houses as much over the next month (hence why I'm on the Vacation List), but I do intend to post as much as possible - I do hate to neglect my characters, posts and plots. Looking through my plot planner, I've noticed that some threads are veeery old, and I'm going to be dropping those to lose some baggage that is likely to be discontinued anyway. So, here goes (I don't like to clutter up my Plot Planner, aha):

(Note: Classes aren't counted. I'll do those if I have the time.)

Ariane
Did Not, Did Too ((Jez)) -- Priority post. Will get to that asap.

Aurora
Erroneous Ways ((Jez)) -- I would like to post Aurora, but I want to round it up in a few posts if that's all right with you. In fact, I could do it in one swell swoop of a post (ie. explain all of Ari's past and then get up to leave?) Tell me what you think. I'd prefer to leave Ari as a priority and Aurora not so much.
Visions, Voices, and A Visitor ((Stephen)) -- I would like to continue it, but I don't know if I'm able to continue inspiration for Aurora's mood... It's not hard but it's hard RPing her in the past when so much has happened. I don't know if you want to post either. Just tell me what you think. I'll be happy to drop it if you want to.
Post with Kael -- One of us will start it. I'd like to, but I don't have any specific ideas... nothing exciting. PM me with possible fun starting points? ^^

India
Excuse Me. ((Cyrus & Drake)) -- India's left the thread, but I just thought I'd remind Drake that he needs to post there to round the thread off.
Scream For Me ((Dylan)) -- It's been ages since we posted in this one. Would you mind if we dropped it?
Post with Drake and Cyrus? -- I'd quite like one where Cyrus gives India the sketchbook, Astrid, if that's all right with you. Cyrus only needs to post briefly, then I can have India hurry to her room to skim through Drake's works. That'd be set a day or two after 'Excuse Me.' Then, I'd quite like one where Cyrus and India meet in the corridor and she has to hug him in front of everyone - and Drake, of course. Cue chaos. xD I haven't worked out what we'll do with the sketchbook yet, Adam, but I have some ideas, so we'll discuss that when the time comes, maybe.

Theo
All Things Aside -- I'm going to omit Theo's post until at least Lori (and hopefully Scott) have posted. Then I'll post him running after her. Lori says she's okay for starting our next thread which'll take place after this one, which'll be Lori confessing her love, etc.
Boys Just Wanna ((Male Prefects)) -- Joseph, is this still happening? It's been quite a while! Maybe we should round off the post?
Catch Me Up ((Dylan)) -- Again, like India's, I was wondering if we could drop it? It's just been so long and lots has happened since.
Continuing That Winning Streak! ((Ravenclaws)) -- I'm due to post after Sandy has, so if you could post Sandy, that would be great.
Post with dancers -- Way too busy to think about the dancing stuff right now... I may consider doing it next year, though. I do apologise! Life has just totally caught up to me. ^^;;

Seth
Save Me From My Family ((Bloodties)) -- I have no idea when I need to post, so... just give me a shout out. I don't even know if we're continuing it! I don't know when I'd be able to post, but since Seth is quite neglected at the moment, I doubt it'd take too much for me to write him.
Spin The Fun! ((Chace)) -- Priority post for me (the Seth inside my head is banging to get out). I'll try to do it asap.

Heidi
Creating a Cure: Liquor and Communication ((Mar + Vi)) -- Vi to post next, right? Anyway, whenever Vi and Mar post, I will do my best to keep up. I'd like to get things wrapped up. We're always letting HTSAL drag behind!
If Tomorrow Never Comes ((Ben)) -- Ditto for this in that when Ben replies I will do my best to round it off. It's been a while and we need to, aha.

Dakota
Charming as a Snake ((Stephen)) -- When Stephen posts, I will make sure to round the post off somehow so we can progress to Valentine's Day... Heh.
There can only be one at the top ((Pyro)) -- I'm happy to continue this if you are, Pyro. I think we should round it off soon, though.
Post with the Queens -- I'd like to deal with this now, but I just don't have the time. Maybe we could do a post when I return properly, with D, Jo and Kailyn having been initiated at the beginning of the year. By then, D will hopefully have 'changed', so it can be a 'friends' post between the three Fifth Years too, so Kailyn and Jo can be like, Why the heck has D changed so much?! And D can show her scariness.

Hermione
A Get Away Not Too Far ((Leland)) -- I do apologise about this. I'm afraid it's at the bottom of my list, but I do intend to post when I get back. I hope you can bear with me - I'm just glad you're as busy as I am and not waiting on me!
Bring Me To Life ((Adam)) -- I need to find my mojo for Hermie, evidently, but I will make it one of my important posts and will do my best to reply. I'm just not feeling it right now.
That Insufferable Know It All Hermione Granger ((Cass)) -- Apologies, apologies. I'll get to this one when I get back too, and I will ensure fast replies hopefully by the time that happens! I really do want to post in it.
Post with Neville? -- I haven't pitched this to you yet, but when Neville is re-approved, I'd love a postie with him. Obviously, that's when I return, aha.

Erica
I have no idea if I'm needed, heh, but I won't really be able to post her until mid-February, so... I hope that's all right.

Other
Post with Aurora, Kael, Lynne and Seth -- I don't know when you'd like to do this... Maybe sometime before Seth and Chace's thing but after Lynne's over Danny, and Aurora is in the process of 'realising'. ;P

[Ruby Lehane]

I've been working on Stephen's reply and I actually have it set to end it. So you won't have to worry about that.

[Ivy Tunstall]

I don't mind what you do with Erroneous Ways. We certainly need to get on with the plot, so just whatever is quickest and best for getting an Ariane post out of you. ;D

[Ariane Chan]

@mandi: Wonderful, thank you! :D

And Aurora/Stephen?

@izy: Righty-o. :)

[Ruby Lehane]

Ack! Forgot about that post...I'll get something up when I can.

[Sydney Rawson H6]

Don't worry about Hermione & Leland.
I can't find the write words to write, right now.. so I don't mind at all.
& I also understand responsibilites. So, feel free to put things before it.
My motto is, if you cant think of anything to say then don't force something you don't mean.
So, I don't mind waiting.

[Lynne Collins]

Kael post - Hmm. I shall try to come up with some good ideas. *nods and salutes* Yes. I shall make it my duty to scrabble around in my brain for any interesting ideas. It probably helps that Kael perked up at the idea of Scrabble. He likes words.

Aurora, Kael, Lynne and Seth post - Oh my. XD It just made me giggle to see the words 'after Lynne's over Danny'. She'll probably never get over Danny. That girl just holds on to the past far too firmly. Which means a mopey Lynne, though she'll probably pretend to cheer up with Seth and Aurora around because she hates the idea of people seeing her at her weakest, and a moody Kael. Poor Seth and Aurora are going to have so much fun. ;D
