Thread: Fx Male Lady Di's Plots and Pairings

A Few Inconveniences Little did she know that her father was one of the wealthiest men in the country. When he died, he named her heir, so the girl who grew up quietly in the country has found herself in a new position, facing a few hard truths when it comes to the reasons men may fall in love. Various options for male character A suitor of some sort, whether rich and wanting more wealth, someone looking to climb the social ladder, a down on his luck aristocrat, an opportunist looking to advance his own fortunes, etc... Variations Can move to a different era, but was thinking Victorian or Regency Pride and Prejudice time-wise idea A Dollar Bride What little girl didn't grow up with tales of commoners becoming nobles or royalty by marrying a prince? Well, when nobles find themselves land-rich and money poor, unable to pay debts and taxes, what can they do? Well, advertise a need for a bride of means-so what if these American girls are basically buying English or European titles? Various options for male character A noble of some sort, lacking funds. Only requirement-otherwise, can have fun within that stipulation. Variations Might be willing to have someone be a Dollar Groom, but not completely sold on that trade quite yet. Taken Plots Through the Looking GlassTaken A young lady has been traveling for interviews to become a governess to one of many families that have been seeking out someone they think would suit. Late one night, she is walking, hears something behind her, and turns to see what is going on and confront a would-be attacker if necessary. Her world goes black. She wakes up in an opulent apartment, the bedroom she wakes up in connected to a bathroom and a sitting room, and there is an enclosed garden through doors in one wall. The opposite wall is nothing but a large, discolored mirror. She cant find any way out. The furniture is too heavy to try to lift to see if there is something on the other side of the mirror. She finds food waiting for her for mealtimes, things she might need appear in the small apartment while shes sleeping or in another room, but she has yet to see anyone. Various options for male character The girl has been kidnapped by a secret society, and on the other side of the mirror can be found men, watching her like voyeurs, determining her suitability for their plans before they begin bidding. A nobleman enjoys finding spirited young women to teach what he thinks are important lessons to help them excel in the world outside the cage he has made for them. He was promised a bride of his choice by the King, and he has decided on the girl now in the rooms on the other side of the mirror, and he plans to slowly teach her what is expected before their wedding. Your ideas. Variations Can be moved from seemingly EnglishEuropean setting to American with minor adjustments. Can be adjusted to a medieval setting if requested. Can also be adjusted to modern with major changes to circumstances-example Girl is transienthomelessrunaway without access to functioning phone, etc. Supernatural elements can be added. Modern is Taken Other Notes I have a setup post made for this with a Victorian setting if youd like to read it and get an idea of the mood I set up, and make adjustments as needed. Devils Backbone She was a respectable young ladyWasOutlaws came through her familys farm, and did what outlaws do. She was considered ruined after that. It hadnt been her fault, but what could be done? No other man from town would think shed make a respectable wife after thatShe left town, eventually coming to stay in a brothel in another town. It didnt take her long to move up the ranks, and shes now the madam, running the saloon and wrangling the girlsAnd the regular customers know that cane she strolls around town with can be used for more than a fashionable accessory when shes provoked. Various options for male character Someone from her past coming across her, realizing who she used to be. A prominent figure whod rather his visits to the cathouse be as discreet as possible. A man who enjoys strong-willed females and trying to bend them to his will. Your ideas. Variations Can be shifted from Old West Americas to Britain or Europe with some minor adjustments.
