Add a Story to the list!
If you have a story you want to add to the list, leave it in the comments below! Anyone can do this; you don't need an account!
This catalog purposely takes a very broad, ambiguous view of what constitutes "plural." Make our day! Story types that have been accepted in the past include:
* Spirit possession
* Imaginary friends
* Spirit marriage
* Exploring geographies of the mind, imagination, and fiction
* Bodysharing symbiotes
* MPD/DID
* Plural stories
* Telepathic bodyhopping shenanigans
Rules for submission (changed 5/17/2024):
Does the story qualify? Then submit it using the form below! (Feel free to use the tags page for pointers.)
[Title] by [Creator/s] ([genre] [medium], [year released])
"[insert a cool quote from the work here]"
Blurb:
Why is it worth your time?:
Plural/1+ Tags: Choose from the ones on the tag list, or add your own!
Content Warnings: please include spoilers! I have this comm set up so that individual posts have only plural tag spoilers (because that's what folks are here for!), while content warnings will be in the comments. That way, people who want to remain spoiler-free can read the post itself and be fine, and the people who want all the warnings can scroll down.
Accessibility Notes: See the tag list for examples. Also note how you can get it. Is it an easy library book? Has someone digitized it and put it elsewhere? Is it backed up anywhere?
Misc. Notes (if any):
Is it long, medium, or short?: I wrote the standards here.
It is for kids, teens, adults, or everybody?

Rules for submission (changed 5/17/2024):
- Only submit stories. We're willing to play with what defines a story, especially for personal experience accounts and experimental work, but self-help, philosophy, 101 and such do not belong here.
- Don't submit your own work. Boost your fellows!
- Please do not submit more than four titles by the same creator/s. When this archive gets bigger, we'll expand how many entries one creator/s can have.
- The story must be made by an adult (or at least not easily identified as made by a minor). This is to prevent malicious submissions and harassment of kids.
- The story must be publicly available. No unrecorded LARPS, rare books, or stuff on account-locked websites.
- If incomplete, the story must at least have a decent stop point. No just-started webcomics, please! They may not endure!
- You must have taken in the whole story (or at least all that's available at the time of submission). This is for complete content warnings and stuff.
- Spirited/many-selvedness must be core to story or main character/s. If you can remove it from the work without the whole thing falling apart, then please do not recommend it. (If you're not sure, ask! Make our day!)
- You must say why it's worth plurals' time. It doesn't have to be good, exactly, but it's gotta be worth it. This is to avoid completionist spam.

Blurb: By the age of thirteen, Lily Bailey was convinced she was bad. She had killed someone with a thought, spread untold disease, and ogled the bodies of other children. Only by performing an exhausting series of secret routines could she make up for what she’d done. But no matter how intricate or repetitive, no act of penance was ever enough. (Goodreads)
Why is it worth your time?: Bailey writes about her OCD as a separate voice in her head that's been with her since birth. The other entity tells Bailey she is bad and She helps Lily to become good. Pre-treatment, Lily refers to herself in plural, referring to both herself and Her, her OCD, as one. (It is unclear if Lily is plural or not.)
Plural/1+ Tags: type: medical(?)
Content Warnings: Suicidal ideation, involuntary inpatient psychiatric treatment, fusing(?) or disappearance of headmates/voices
Accessibility Notes: Available at my public library(ies) in print and digital
Misc. Notes: I'm not 100% sure if this counts as a plural story but I thought it would be an interesting addition here.
Is it long, medium, or short?: length: medium
It is for kids, teens, adults, or everybody? Adults, maybe appropriate for teens
no subject
