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):
  • 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.

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?

Title: 6 Feet

Creator/s: Left at London

Medium, Genre, and Format: song, ? genre, digital

Year Released: 2019

Is it long, medium, or short?: short

It is for kids, teens, or adults only? Teen and up, might be a little dark for younger kids.

A cool quote from the work:
" It’s common I’ll talk to myself
But it wasn’t my own voice that told me
"Don’t scream
One word & I’ll crash this car
I know that you don’t know me
But I know just who you are"
"

Blurb: From the artists twitter: "A lot of people think 6 Feet is metaphorically about the “call of the void”. It is not.
It is, very literally, about living with OSDD-1b. I did not know I had it when I wrote the song. Writing it & talking about the song with my therapist lead me to get officially diagnosed.
"
(source: https://twitter.com/LeftAtLondon/status/1248869575749332993)

Why is it worth your time?: The song is well produced and catchy, as well as depicting the writers experience with OSDD and having a persecutor. For systems who have had or currently have antagonistic relationships with each other or may have had a very upsetting plural egg cracking, this may be quite the cathartic song.

Plural Tags: enmity, OSDD

Content Warnings: antagonistic headmate, threatened car crash

Accessibility Notes: The official youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx415xT0gB4) has the lyrics in the description.

Misc. Notes (if any): The creator has OSDD-1b, and the song is about her experience with that.
