Open Threads

What's This?

Want to meet some new people? Up for some roleplaying with a random person? Not really sure what you're looking for in a thread, or you just have a vague idea of what you'd like? Feel free to use this thread to advertise your "all welcome" threads to others! We highly encourage those seeking random and unplotted threads to start or join an "all welcome" thread! You can also show your love for the open threads list with promotional images in your profile or signature.

Below is an automatically generated list of "all welcomed" threads. All IC threads using the "AW" topic icon and which have zero replies are listed, along with IC threads using the "AW+" icon and which have fewer than five replies (marked as "Multiple"). If you'd like your thread to be removed, simply change your topic icon.

Tips for Open Threads! (Show!)

If you're looking for participants, there are a few things you can do to make it easier on other roleplayers! The easier time a person has replying to you, the more likely you are to get a reply, of course.

Make sure you tag your threads! Most roleplayers assume untagged threads are private. Make sure you include AW in the title or subtopic of your post.
Start all welcome threads in the neutral lands. If you start a thread deep within your pack's borders, you're kind of narrowing your number of possible participants down to just fellow packmembers, since few outsiders will want to trespass. Neutral lands are accessible to all characters, and thus you have the greatest chance of receiving a reply here.
The easiest place for most people to reply to threads are the territories in the center of 'Souls -- so, check the map. Threads started in Ethereal Eclipse, Shattered Coast, Arachnea's Revenge, the Dampwoods, or Halifax would be great places to start threads, as these places are surrounded by a few packs and it's easy for characters to travel here.
Generally, when roleplayers pick up all welcome threads or start them, they're looking for more relaxed roleplaying. It's a good idea to remember that as you start all welcome threads; if you're looking for a highly involved thread or a drawn-out plot, it's much better to post a request and plot it out beforehand. Lengthy introduction posts can also be intimidating to some roleplayers -- it's okay to write long posts, but sometimes people feel obligated to “match” lengths and may not feel up to writing 1,500 words.
Make sure the setting, date, and time of day are clearly implied, if not outright stated in the OOC information. Some players are uncomfortable replying to a thread if they're not quite sure where it is set or they are uncertain of the time of day. It can also be quite helpful to state whether your character is Lupus, Secui, or Optime.
Other helpful things you may want to include in your OOC information are the number of other participants you'd like or the theme of the thread -- e.g., stating you'd like a friendship to form from the thread, or informing participants your character is in a sour mood and likely to be a jerk. It's okay to request a certain type of response or even a certain type of character -- for example, asking for a male character to reply or requesting a member from a particular pack.
