| In April 2005 the bonds of a family were stretched and twisted and frayed by time and distance - but these bonds were too strong to break. Now, over four years later, not much has changed within the extended family unit that had materialized in the Pittsburgh area over the past many years. Liberty Avenue is still a bustling, blooming gayborhood within the metropolis, Debbie Novotny is still playing Mother Hen from her nest in the diner, her son is still happily "married" to a intelligent Carnegie prof, and their adopted son is taking on the world, one college course at a time. And the antihero of all antiheroes? He's still around, tragically as successful and good-looking as ever, working to hold all the frays of the past few years together, if quietly. Elsewhere, two successful women are raising a family outside of the country, and the most infamous member of the past-Pittsburgh Twink Brigade is seemingly constantly en |
route within the 350 miles between Pittsburgh and NYC. If only he could decide where to replant his roots permanently. Meanwhile, outside of the steel capital of the world, America is undergoing major renovation. With a new presidential administration comes hope for the ever-proud LGBT community, but the recent passing of Proposition 8 in California might prove to be disastrous for the progressive movement, even on the opposite coast. Political tensions are high, lives are continuing even in the midst of the nostalgia for the beginning of the new millennium, and this family is still struggling to include all of each other within their busy schedules. This Mess We're in is a post-513 roleplaying community based on the hit Showtime series Queer As Folk, and looking for fans of the cancelled show to continue the legacy of the well-developed characters we've been missing for three lost seasons. |

Don’t go to sleep. Don’t close your eyes. Keep them open. Open them as wide as you possibly can. Look around you. Take in your surroundings. What is this place? You may ask: Where have the trains and the skyscrapers gone? Or you may ask: Where is Cair Paravel? Where are the Lone Islands? What you will soon come to learn is that you have entered into Aslan’s Land. This is not Narnia at all, but a place resembling Narnia in every aspect. Every tiny detail, right down to the last grain of sand. But how can it not be Narnia? You see, whatever place you may have dreamed of is here. The land, the cities, the towns, the people. They are all Narnian, even if this place is not Narnia itself. In such a place, even skyscrapers may be brought back. You simply have to know where to look. But even in such a beautiful and peaceful place dangers and evils await. This land, Aslan’s Land, was meant for the good. It was meant for the peaceable. It was not meant for the evil or dangerous. It was not meant for those who seek corruption and vanity. But they still found their ways here. To remove them, to make them leave would be a difficult task. For even the most evil of persons may very well have been the person closest to you. Would you allow them to stay? Or would you help to rid the land of them? To return them to the place they truly belonged. Each is given his or her own choice. Choose it well. For that decision may very well decide your destiny. That decision may mean leaving this land. What happens to one after entering Aslan’s Land? How far must they go before finding their destiny? Or does destiny even exist in such a place? Do all who come there truly belong? Or have some found the backdoor into this wondrous land? What wonders, adventures, spectacles could possibly be waiting beyond that shore? Only those who have found their way truly know. These are the stories of such creatures. Of a place called Aslan’s Land. Premise, Rules, FAQs, Wanted, Taken, Regions, Application, Held |

It was built by mischief makers that had attended the school after the War, put there for the sole purpose of being a secret meeting spot for friends, groups, or couples, for any use from parties to plotting to just enjoying the evening sky. It hasn't been discovered yet, but the students are still careful. The only way to get to it is Invisibility cloak--which is rare--or the hidden passageway on the fourth floor back corridor, behind the statue of a dancing House Elf. |

“Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything, creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle, and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it's still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild. Because after disaster strikes, the important thing is that you move on.”-Veronica Mars Seven years ago, the Dark Lord Voldemort fell, finally bringing an end to his vicious reign of power and terror. Yet, the war did not end with his death. For years, the Wizarding World has worked to repair the damages left during the aftermath of war. Emotional burdens have yet to fully heal, too many lives destroyed, families torn apart, and friends lost. Hogwarts was left in rubble, unable to reopen for years, the damage too great, endless sweat and tears shed as people worked to rebuild the foundations to give their children a future. Death Eaters still roam free, cunningly avoiding even the best Aurors, leaving many in fear that another war will be on the horizon. As things begin to resemble some semblance of normalcy, an old follower of Voldemort is in the wings, plotting his revenge, gathering the remaining Death Eaters and new followers, planning to unleash a new war, wanting to finish his master’s vision. In the Ministry, a serial killer is murdering powerful political figures, leaving everyone pointing fingers and letting things slip through the cracks. Fenrir Greyback has escaped from Azkaban, butchering countless individuals as he runs from Aurors, gathering and making new werewolves in his travels, gathering an army to strike against the Ministry. All the while, the Muggle World is at war, affecting the Wizarding World as it heightens. The world is in complete chaos. Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt is determined to rebuild the Wizarding Community into a vision of peace and has called forth some of the best Aurors from around the world in an effort to clean up the United Kingdom, determined to capture and imprison the remaining Death Eaters and send a clear message of constant vigilance to those seeking to do more harm. Many are unhappy with the Minister’s plans, many seeking to replace him and other important individuals, some willing to go to great lengths to achieve their goals. The Wizarding World is torn between fully recovering and moving forward and taking two steps back, arriving right back where they left off seven years ago. A new war is on the brink, which side will you choose? | ||

Welcome to Idris Academy, a school for magical folk located in the isolated reaches of Greenland. Here, those with magical abilities or superhuman attributes - the Faie, Therians, mages, witches, and warlocks - come to learn. These are students who can hurl fireballs, transform into various animals, teleport from place to place, or live for centuries on end. There are your normal, human high school classes, and then there are the electives designed for each specific magical group. The goal of this school: assimilate these magical children into the human world and teach them how to control and utilize their special abilities. But there's a problem... normal human beings can often be cruel and condescending. Some of the school's students do not actually want to assimilate. They would rather build their own, magical cities - sometimes empires - and live without having to regulate their special abilities. This difference in opinion has caused a slight rift in the school...  Contact | Drop Box | Threads | OOC |
Many years ago, when people still believed in myths and legends, it was told that the gods created immortal beings, much like themselves. They shaped them into beautiful and powerful beings with many talents who would go on to lead mankind on the right course. The gods would remain in the heavens where they were supposed to be, and the immortals would be earthbound. They were created from the same mold, split into two by mighty thunderbolts. No one suspected the effect it would have on the immortal beings. The separation left both of them with a desperate yearning to be reunited because they shared the same soul. They would spend the rest of their lives searching for the other half of their soul, no matter the time or the distance. Brand new game based off of Hancock! RULES | F.A.Qs | TAKEN/HOLDS POST |

“ . . . All that was left in Pandora’s box was hope.” During the 21st century, a global pandemic swept over the world. They dubbed it the “Pandora virus,” or PV for short, because of its devastating nature. The virus tore through the world’s population. It killed almost one-third of humanity in its first month alone. Countries everywhere grew panicked, believing it to be a work of biological terrorism. Nation stood against nation, and a worldwide war began. Much of earth was laid to waste within just a handful of months by the combined effects of nuclear war and the Pandora virus. Survivors immune to the virus found the world uninhabitable, and many of them perished due to radiation poisoning or famine. |
