I am belatedly stealing this from my partner, because I can, because it'd be nice to think about my verses, and because the end of my spring break my mother and I are shutting ourselves in to have an epic three-plus days try-to-get-to-writing session and I need to figure out what I'm trying to write.
So.
Ask me about my original verses. Ask me questions about the world, the people who live there, mechanics, themes, anything you want.
Academyverse: A group of very altered and, for the most part, barely still human survivors from a fucked-up school try to make it on the run. Contains personified emotions, psychics, insanity, travel, escape, torture, sensory loss, and all the chosen family themes ever.
All Through the Night: In which some people can do special things, some other people are trying to develop defenses and reign them in without their knowledge, and Morgan really needs to poke at more than two people in this verse. Contains bodyguards in a dub-con sort of fashion, travel, magic/psychic abilities, some sort of scientific facility, and fuck only knows what else right now.
Angels Unawares: Every year, angels come of age and, as per an old tradition, are sent to Earth as last trial before adulthood. Left somewhere on Earth to go through a personal ordeal, they stumble their way through dealing with humanity and sometimes fight to control abilities that never had this many triggers in Heaven. And some of them feel a call, pulling them towards parts unknown, that may or may not be part of the trial, or may just be an old myth that's more real than anyone thought. Contains angelic tribes and lots of coming-of-age themes.
Civil-verse: The one where there are ranks of angels, the ones in charge are more interested in having fun than running things, the secretaries and underlings run the world and are occasionally fucking terrifying, the devils are really angels and like to do their jobs with class, and sometimes angels do something terrible and get themselves kicked out. Contains loooots of angel bureaucracy and other than that, I am not sure.
Come Stand By Me: In which there are training houses across the world for people who aren't human to stay safe and, if they'd like, learn to blend into humanity. Some are halfway houses of a sort, some just train you and send you on, and more than you would hope are dangerous, cults, or useless. Contains banshees and fae and werewolves and sirens and brownies and sprites and mermaids and more, oh my. And also a bed-and-breakfast run by humans that draws in more non-humans than any other customers.
the Dance Carries On: In which fae/god-like-beings/who knows what they want to call themselves are split into vaguely different but distinct categories, and each one has its own job to keep the world running. Contains the Trees, the Times, the Seasons, the Sins and Virtues, and the Questions.
Fail Demons: Angels and demons exist; there's no difference between the labels, except the demons are either really bad at their jobs, or really good at jobs that scare people or that they disapprove of. Contains sooooo many angels it's headache inducing, and riffing off various mythologies.
Footprints in the Sand: God left the world in the early stages, but he left a plan for us. The angels are trying to follow it and ignoring that all but the oldest of their ranks are fucked up. The demons take offense to God thinking he knows best. Everyone else just tries to get along. Contains lots of species, infant and child death (mentioned frequently, both natural causes and not), various forms of insanity, and lots of dysfunction all around.
Greyhaven-verse: In which an author is sucked into his own post-apocalyptic story and discovers his characters, and his world, are really not what he thought. Contains lots of high fantasy cliches.
the Group: Sometimes people are born with special abilities. And the stronger those abilities are, the more toll they'll take on their body, and the younger their body will give out. Contains a group of eight who are together and taking care of each other, and a plot still to be discovered.
Myths-verse: Greek gods exist. (Other gods might too, but the Greeks are the focus here.) They influence the world. They have churches, sometimes in places you might not expect. They have children, demigods around the world, shaped by what their parents are and represent. Contains all the demigods, and lots of interesting unintentional churches and a few intentional ones.
Personifications-verse: When the personification of Death goes missing, his daughter, who never knew what he was, has to go into his home realm to try and find him. Along the way, she, a friend, and a servant of her father's encounter the various personifications that exist in and lord over the realm, makes allies, makes enemies, and do their best to unravel what's going on. Contains lots of personifications, and some kind of epic curse.
Sentient Magic: In which magic is a disease, or maybe a parasite. Once you're infected, you have to deal with its presence in your brain. This is how people deal with it. Contains non-human beings, magical human beings, humans and creatures so non-magical they can see the fact that others are, and magic being a character in its own right.
War Angels: In which angels are at war, and either fighting for control, or just trying to survive and stay out of the line of fire. Contains more angel bureaucracy, war themes, and an angel who has been nicknamed 'cheesy angel', which should tell you something about him.
And I left out RP verses and a few shared worlds, so if you know anything about those, they're free to be asked for as well.
