unfortunately my health has been declining (physically and cognitively), which has been making it difficult to keep up with the prompt schedule. i hate to disappoint everyone, but im going to need to pause the schedule while my health is extra poor. i apologize! hopefully in a few months time, i can pick it back up regularly.

what does this mean? i will not be posting any prompts according to the schedule for an undetermined amount of time.

what can members do? as always, i encourage members to create their own discussion and creative prompts off schedule! as well as any oc sharing posts youd like (:

ill post to the community as a member when im able, but no guarantees. im not searching for another admin at this time, but as time passes, i may open applications for 1-2 more admins.

thank you for everyones understanding!! <3

Time for February's prompt!
Remember, everyone is always welcome to do previous prompts "late"!

Rose-tinted glasses

Perhaps the perfect descriptor for some relationships in time for Valentine's, or other dynamics...

All mediums are welcome! Art, writing, music, physical crafts, etc... And it can be rough or polished, as long as you have fun. (:

When showing what you made, please make a new post and include which prompt(s) you used.

Have fun~!

Has your character ever gone to school? Had a formal education?
Were they a good student or a hooligan? What are their associations with it?

How loose is their use of the phrase "I love you"?
Do they remind their friends they love them all the time? Is the phrase reserved for their partner alone, or perhaps hard to pry out of them? Have they ever said it but didn't mean it?

(late today bc ive been all over the place, but good news is im recovering well after surgery! (: )

Hello! I am Will, I am a 25 year old transmasc lesbian with DID who usually uses she/it pronouns. I love OCs and Will Wood (and the Tapeworms).

My current project is under the working title of "the wormverse", and an AU of the wormverse titled "the better end". I primarily host all of my stuff on Toyhou.se. 

My beloved OC (and the character in my icon) is named Isaac Drover - he is a 28 year old transfem lesbian with DID who has 5 alters. He was born out of my love for Will Wood and the Tapeworms' 2nd studio album SELF-iSH, and my subsequent dissociative analysis of it. Other OCs of note that I write are Jolene Dijon, Mint Iglesias, and Seth Augury, but I have a good handful of OCs in this universe. Please heed the trigger warnings on each page where relevant.

A lot of my work focuses on several different and difficult to tackle topics such as evangelical cults, substance abuse, death of a loved one, severe trauma, and child abuse. The primary focus of the wormverse is to follow Isaac as he escapes the Church of the Divine, an evangelical cult he was born into, and becomes his own person despite the hardships he faces. 

I do both writing and art for these OCs! My writing can be read on Toyhouse or on AO3 (please heed individual works' trigger warnings/tags).

I post my art on bsky sometimes, but mostly also just on Toyhouse. Here are some of my recent faves I have done:

How does your OC's current design compare to when you first made them?
Do they look the same, or perhaps go under a huge redesign? Maybe they have a new scar, different outfit(s), or something else different?

Have they ever had a near-death experience? If not, have they ever lost someone they were close to?
How do they feel after the fact? Did it change them, for better or for worse?

[personal profile] asuraid
hi hi, name's aid (she/her), it's what i'm usually known as online!! 25+ and soon gonna be using 30+ in a few years LOL. asuraid is my usual handle on art sites (or sometimes personal sites like dreamwidth just bc i have no plans of separating art/personal). i do digital art mostly, tho i have the potential adhd bug of 'tries a bajillion new projects/hobbies with the complete fervor of someone ready to conquer the world, and drops them two weeks later because the interest has worn off'. otherwise i do coding (i have my own neocities site), and like making carrds for funsies (i've made a lot mostly for the tumblr roleplay community).

speaking of OCs, i tend to be a person that fixates on a single one for many, many years, and that right now is Sylvie, my genshin OC who you uh ... see plastered everywhere you look on any of my accounts. they're also my first forray back into oc/canon since they kiss mister Zhongli Genshin Impact (art by the lovely scarameownya). my beloved tree god(dess) with a big heart and goofy humour to hide the fact they are smart and observative. also a big foodie.
A chibi version of Zhongli carrying Sylvie, who looks embarrassed about it, whereas Zhongli looks proud.
aside from that, i have my eldritch entity space man Yadyra (who sylvie knows by coincidence of being friends w/his sister who is literal death. no they don't know either how it happened), and Nameless who is a demon king technically under employment by Yadyra (handling corrupt souls to eat/take out of the reincarnation cycle, also hates Sylvie's guts).

otherwise i dont have very many active OCs (but you can check them out on my toyhouse), Sylvie is my insane obsession. i learned abt munbonding semi-recently, and it kinda embodies that they're like a living character in my head to a degree (aka i can talk to them if i want, i dont need to explicitly sit and think on what they'd do ... but it's also a coping/comfort thing to me as well)

What embarrasses them?
Is it something small like specific compliments? Or something bigger, like a mistake or total failure at something they're skilled at? How well can they tolerate embarassment?

...also apologies i missed last weeks discussion prompt! im still injured and ended up in the ER again, will be needing surgery soon. ill be okay tho!! ill try harder to share prompts despite it all (:

Who are you? What name / alias and pronouns do you go by? Are you an artist, a writer, aspiring to be, or something else? Anything you find relevant to yourself.

I'm a writer, Dusk Peterson, they/them/their. I've hung out with the online fiction community since 2002.

Who are your main OCs? Are they part of a specific OC universe or fandom? What's their personality like?

I have so many OCs! So it's easier to talk about my originalfic universes. These are my main two 'verses:



Chronicles of the Great Peninsula


Chronicles of the Great Peninsula. A cycle of mythic historical fantasy series about a battle between cultures, Chronicles of the Great Peninsula is set at a time when a centuries-old civilization is in danger of being destroyed. The cycle is inspired by conflicts between cultures during late antiquity.



Turn-of-the-Century Toughs


Turn-of-the-Century Toughs. Honored seven times in the Rainbow Awards for LGBTA literature, Turn-of-the-Century Toughs is a cycle of gaslamp alternate history series about disreputable men on the margins of society, and the men and women who love them. Set in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, as well as in a future that never existed, the novels and stories take place in an alternative version of America that was settled by inhabitants of the Old World in ancient times.

What relationships exist between your OCs? Be it platonic, romantic, familial, or even enemies and so on!

All of the above. :)

Chronicles of the Great Peninsula is mainly about platonic life-partnerships; it also features friendship, family, romance (f/m and m/m), and enemies. Turn-of-the-Century Toughs is mainly about m/m romance; it also features platonic life-partners, friendship, family, f/m romance, and enemies.

For those who are interested, I've just posted a round-up linking to all my stories from 2025. The stories are T-rated, featuring friendships, platonic life-partnerships, and romantic pairings (f/m and m/m). Here's my boilerplate content warning. I'd love to hear what you think of the stories.

Hope everyone who participated in the 1st creative prompt had fun!! For January, the prompt will be...

New Beginnings, New Chapter

There's many things that could mean for different OCs! How would you interpret this prompt?

All mediums are welcome! Art, writing, music, physical crafts, etc... And it can be rough or polished, as long as you have fun. (:

When showing what you made, please make a new post and include which prompt(s) you used.

Have fun~!

What does your character see when they look at themselves in the mirror?
What do they think of themselves? Do they feel positively or negatively about who they are? Confident or self conscious? Or in a more literal sense, do they like how they look?

Has your OC broken taboos? Do they regret it?
Were they caught? Punished in some manner, or perhaps forgiven? If they haven't broken any taboos, how would they feel if they found out someone close to them did?

Hello everyone! I'm Mary and I go by they/them pronouns. I write fanfiction, original fiction, and meta from my favorite series. I'm also a web master currently maintaining my own website with a couple of improvements in the works.

My main OCs are Ryuugamine Kiyoshi and Kirishima Keima. Kiyoshi (or Kiyo) and Kei for short. While I enjoy to reuse them for different fandoms and stories (kind of a Touya and Yukito situation from CLAMP), I'll write about their versions in what started as a college AU, called For The Freedom to Love (FTL). Basically their new adult versions in the modern world.

Ryuugamine Kiyoshi )

Kirshima Keima )

Keima and Kiyoshi became best friends in elementary school and a few years later became boyfriends! They have known each other more than ten years. Their ship name is KeiKiyo, hehe. Kiyoshi calls Keima his "boyfriend" and Keima calls Kiyoshi his "partner". Keima describes his partner as "too good for this world" to Kiyoshi's chagrin and can get really protective, particularly because Kiyoshi gets offended easily and can be a bit of a doormat.

You can read almost 50k words about their lives in intimate detail in my NSFW fic archive, AO3, and dreamwidth archive. There's mostly smut for now, haha, but it's more character than porn.

Bonus: Sumire Yuu )

I don't have anything written about them in my personal journal but I'm certainly working on making more information on them public!

Hi, all! My name is Dray, or Cherreh, and I have been a part of DWRP since around 2014. I've been roleplaying and making cyberpet adoptable dragons since 2004, though I'm not nearly as active as I was when I was younger.

Who are you? What name / alias and pronouns do you go by? Are you an artist, a writer, aspiring to be, or something else? Anything you find relevant to yourself.

  • I go by Dray predominantly, though 'Cherreh' or 'Cherrehc' have been more and more my go-to for new sites.

  • I'm an artist, a writer, and a roleplayer of OC's (with the rare few fandom characters now and again.) I have a comfortable day-job in production of animation, and spend my downtime dabbling!

  • I'm a neurodivergent creator on the ADHD side of things; this puts me squarely into the 'flits from one thing to another to get that sweet dopamine' box.


Who are your main OCs? Are they part of a specific OC universe or fandom? What's their personality like?


ImageImage

  • My main OC's lately are Jolene Harris and Ryan Planter, two young twenty-somethings surviving an apocalyptic event in their hometown.

  • Jo and Ryan are built for an original universe to help showcase their devolving friendship with one another and relationship with themselves; the apocalypse they suffer is an eldritch one that helps them break down their identities to reveal their vulnerable cores.

  • Jo is a survivor: stubborn, opinionated, and not meant to be appealing, she is none-the-less a Last Girl with her quick thinking and quick-acting wroth.

  • Ryan is a dreamer: tentative, abstract, and intensely depressed, he has trouble making it through the day-to-day let alone a world turned upside down. However, there are parts of him that have lived out of phase with reality since he was young. He has potential to fit better into a ruined world than Jo ever will.


What relationships exist between your OCs? Be it platonic, romantic, familial, or even enemies and so on!

  • Between Jo and Ryan, platonic relationship-- they aren't one another's type but they still have a lot of sides that compliment one another, and before the world ended, they'd made an alliance to survive college together.

  • I have buttloads of other OC's that I'm thinking of featuring now and again based on what prompts suit them! I'm really looking forward to bringing a few out at a time and showing off what their strong points and weaknesses are.


Thanks for having me here!

What motivates your OC towards their goals?
Are they doing it all for someone they love? If they're seeking revenge, why does it matter so much to them? Or on a less dramatic scale, if their goal is career-focused, why did they choose this career path and continue on it? Maybe they want a quiet life, but why?

comment below your thoughts! <3

(also im a little later in the day posting this, ive been pretty sick with a stomach bug or something?? i keep passing out, but ill be ok! just wanted to explain why it took a bit for me to post (: )

Since this is our first creative prompt ever, I'll be giving two! Feel free to pick whichever you prefer. Or use both, the choice is yours!

1. Toxins
— one word prompt to interpret however you please.

2. Portray your OC in a different role. Examples: If they're a villain, you could write how'd they'd act as a hero in an AU! A knight could be drawn as a princess or other royalty, an assassin could be shown as a doctor instead. What if fate swapped their place with another OC's role? Or what if that one event in their backstory never happened?

All mediums are welcome! Art, writing, music, physical crafts, etc... And it can be rough or polished, as long as you have fun. (:

When showing what you made, please make a new post and include which prompt(s) you used. The next prompt will be posted on January 1st, but there's no strict deadline to posting— aka you can post "late" after the next prompt if you need more time!

Have fun~!
