I guess if anybody wants to give me $100 to get a self ship forum/message board started as described in this post I can have it ready by the weekend.
I can also do it for free but we wouldn’t have a domain name or on-site image hosting.
This is not me asking for money, I literally don’t care. I just have the skills and ability so if someone wants that here I am.
Thinking about how small the active self ship/ f/o community is.
If we imagined the current community on the old web, we could easily all be sharing the same busy, active message board, with an irc chat and a dozen mods.
I’m imagining one sub-forum for ask games; each ask game is it’s own thread, and people who want to play all answer the questions in the same thread.
One sub-forum for f/o art. Each user has their own thread to post their art in– mod rule one thread per user, not per f/o! Post as much at as you want, but please only bump for visibility once every 24 hours.
Another sub-forum with similar per-user rules for gushes, and one for imagines. One for self insert fics, and one for x-reader fics.
A chitchat forum where we could talk about our day and play non-f/o related forum games.
If I was really ambitious, i’d say it should have a forum avatar dress up game like gaia online or neopets.
And of course the whole forum would be moderated to be rated pg, with all of the adult/18+ content kept strictly on the hidden 18+ parts of the forum. Maybe even with an extra hidden “dark” area for especially taboo f/o material.
I wish forums were still a thing…
If anyone was particularly good at website building, I know domains are pretty easy to get and I’ve seen a post floating around about a year ago with a link saying people could literally make their own forum-based site pretty readily with a little elbow grease. It’s possible! I just have none money and the brain of a koala.
The hell of it is that I could easily create and run a site like this (maybe minus the gaia avatars) and have run large message board communities in the past.
I just don’t know that anyone would bother using it in this day and age.

Imagine being too tired to do anything useful and just falling asleep with your head on your F/O’s chest instead.

F/Os mean something different to everyone.
I’m happy for you and your dark elf. 😉
Imagine your yandere F/O keeping a piece of you
preserved forever in a specimen jar.

Imagine keeping a piece of your darling F/O preserved forever in a specimen jar.
Imagine sitting quietly in the same room with your F/O while you are both deeply engaged with a personal hobby.
Occasionally you touch each other’s hands, give one another a kiss, or get up to get a drink for each other.
Mostly you just sit, enjoying each other’s company.

😷 Write about a time you and your F/O had to hide the nature of your relationship.
Annette Birkin (🔬🐝) and William Birkin
Cw: shipcest, twincest. Rated G. (Please note that the Birkins’ status as blood related is non canonical.)
When people asked them questions, Annette and William described themselves as husband and wife. This was not an official status, and would never be one, legally. The two of them were blood related. Fraternal twins who had been removed from their parents and raised, separately, in the dubious care of the Umbrella Training program.
They had been in their mid teens when they reunited, and there had been no question about it. Blood, as they say, calls to blood.
It was easy to keep the nature of their relationship ambiguous while they were being educated. There were plenty of blonds. Plenty of same last names. People didn’t ask, and they didn’t tell. Besides, people assumed William was in some kind of relationship with Albert Wesker (he was, additionally), and people didn’t think about Annette at all.
Annette didn’t mind being overlooked. It gave her more time to work, and more privacy.
It was once they were adults, and given the independence of a home, and a life nominally outside of Umbrella that they made the decision to tell people they were married. After all, if they were living together, people would draw their own conclusions anyway.
It was as simple as a gold ring, one for each of their hands, and it was as good as done. Annette would have left it at that. William had insisted there should be cake. Annette had to agree that it was a nice cake.
Albert Wesker presented them with a pair of swords as a wedding gift. They named him Sherry’s godfather.
