Greetings to all at LAW! Looking across 2023 from its sunrise to sunset, much has happened: We welcomed new users, crowned new champions, and wrote ever newer and better storylines—much like we do every year! To celebrate 2023 and set the tone for 2024, I propose we build a user-submitted 2023 LAW Highlight Reel!
How does it work? Reply to this thread or DM me with a submission, providing a thread link and at least a small summary of the thread’s premise and what you enjoyed about this thread. If there is no summary, then I will simply put "No Quote" in the spoiler. Feel free to write more, however, as I’ll be copying and pasting it into a spoiler tag in this master post. It should look something like this:
Username 1 - Thread Title Hyper-linked
Quote
“Your words” - Username
Quote
“Your words” - Username
Quote
“Your words” - Username
Remember: It can be ANY thread of yours. A social thread, a promo, a match or anything else. What you like about it can be as simple as a sexy/exciting spot, the match-up itself, the planning phases, an achievement of some kind, or the most compelling narrative climax that brings you dopamine.
SO, Any rules?
- At most ONE thread per user will be incorporated into the master post. This is to prevent clutter and promote fairness. So no multi-match storylines. Instead, choose a single thread from that storyline that you felt was special. Feel free to mention any background information about it, such as the feud it’s part of.
- No negativity. It goes against the spirit of the Highlight Reel.
- The thread has to be YOUR thread.

"This thread was exciting for me because it was a long awaited rematch between my first milf character, Inko and her rival Maya Jones. Their first fight was my second ever thread, so having them fight again was spectacular." - Mysterdio - Deskfan45 — The Devil and the Cutie
Quote
"Skylar and Orime's first date. It was a pivotal moment for Skylar, finally acknowledging that she likes women, and is also the first major story moment my stagnant ass has done in forever." - Deskfan45 - SuckerPunch — Sparkling Idol's Special Announcement!
Quote
"Everyone's favorite idol announces her entry into the Lightweight Division. Rose Gold welcomes her to the division with an impromptu, lewd and brutal Futanari Style Hentai Match! I really appreciate @pu-level-up's writing and characterization of Barbara and it was a super fun return to the sort of story that got me into LAW in the first place!" - SuckerPunch - deezcastforms — Oiled Up Waifus: Rise Kujikawa vs Chiaki Nanami
Quote
"The legendary year and a half hiatus thread between my Chiaki Nanami and @Pikazard's Rise Kujikawa (now Kanako Satawari). Post 11 was made Sept 26, 2021. Post 12 was made Feb 27, 2023. But it was worth the wait." - deezcastforms - Sigma Morgan — Blood and Cum: Alexia vs Lexi Morgan
Quote
"Lexi and Alexia face off in a brutal yet sexy hardcore hentai match. One of my favorite threads so far." - Sigma Morgan - SRG — LAW Apex Match:Nashi Dragneel Vs Yukino Fuyumi The Dragons Apex
Quote
Both best friends are competing for the chance to become the inaugural Openweight belt
SRG: "Out of all my threads it’s the one I’m the most proud of. It felt like both capt and I were pushing ourselves to do the best we could do. It’s sorta like how in the thread it’s two best friends trying to help them grow and became better as a result of the match. I will admit I was sad when it was over, it felt like a true lightning in a bottle that can’t be replicated."
CaptainL: "I'd say that it showcases the lengths Nashi and Yukino will go to and went all through the LAW arena, which provided us with plenty of fun spots." - Kookio — A Lioness Display: Reiko Masuda vs Alizeh Midori
Quote
"I think this one is my GOAT of 2023. There are a lot that I love and I believe that, this match shows the best balance between characterization, character chemistry and intensity of the match combined with a lot of rather lewd moments. Its kind of just the best balance of my favorite aspects of an rp scene." - Kookio - xalex — Chained together: Katarzyna Zawiślak vs Kyle Preze
Quote
"This started now almost one year ago, having made a new really good friend with this match someone i can turn to even outside of law. This awlays reminds me that law is filled with awsome and wonderful people! I am looking forward to finishing the stuff i have going on with everyone, and really looking forward to starting new stuff!" - xalex - Bearhug Goddess — Heart Connection vs The Godessess of Justice
Quote
"The relationship between Astrea and Quetzalcoatl continues to evolve. While Quetzalcoatl improves day by day and has a lot of friends, Astrea loses all her matches and only have bad relationships. Astrea tries to do her best not to drag her best friend into defeat even if she has difficulty facing a pervert who takes advantage of her decency and Quetzalcoatl continues to have fun fighting against powerful wrestlers.
Veronica and Sachiko are incredible characters, I am happy to see Heart Connection confront the Goddesses of Justice and that this match pushes me to develop their relationship, mostly for Astrea. Thanks to @CaptainL and @RedShinigami for this amazing thread and story." - Bearhug Goddess - Underdoggo — The Perfectionists: Gwendolyn DuPont Bettencourt (D) vs Kyo Akamatsu (D)
Quote
"This was one of the very first matches I started here on LAW, and I have been enjoying it immensely. The constant back and forth verbal repartee between Kyo and Gwen, and the way they seem perfectly matched against each other at the outset as they trade moves back and forth, has made this a very fun match to write and a perfect way to introduce two new characters to LAW." - Underdoggo - winner3 — Honie B. Bea vs Serilda "Berserk Liger" Akira — Apex Qualifier at We Are LAW 5
Quote
"Not sure if this counts as being MY thread per se, but I'm honored to have been asked to be a part of it and it was a fun match to follow and contribute to. This was just one of the many awesome matches and threads of stories that helped fuel all the big narratives and stories in the LAW Apex Event" - winner3 - Nova — Love's Light Mingles with Darkness: Elara Theodorou (D) vs Nyarlathotep
Quote
"This match is shaping up to be an amazing debut for Elara. Though it's just getting started, I can positively say that working with @Rymiscuius has been an absolute pleasure. Planning this thread was a fun crash course on storytelling and character dynamics all rolled into one, and I can't wait to see where it takes us. As one of the first threads I ever started here on LAW, this match will forever hold a special place in my heart." - Nova - Hagen-Autem — Yukino Fuyumi vs Gabriel Vinlee - (Apex Qualifier Match)
Quote
"When I started in LAW, I wanted to do a lot of things with my characters, mainly with the one I considered my main character. But I would always fall behind and back off when it was time to do and take control.
This match was the first step to change everything, all with the purpose of starting to really have fun with all my rp partners.
Also, thanks to @CaptainL I was able to unleash the most dominant and cruel side of my wrestler in one of the most significant matches of 2023 for my roster with an idol who wanted to show what she is capable of in a match without a lot of quarter... and mercy." - Hagen-Autem - ThatPolishDude — Katarzyna Zawislak vs Alizeh Midori - Graduation Match
Quote
"This is not only my favourite thread of this year but a favourite I ever had the pleasure of doing. Bare is always a pleasure to work with and can uplift other’s writing in a way I found few can. It has been easy to write, exciting and fun at every step and a perfect capstone to that part of Kate’s story." - ThatPolishDude - ReticentCone — Solidarity’s Uprising [Debut]
Quote
“Sophie Daugherty, a 6’3’’, 227 pound super-heavyweight makes her debut to the LAW Universe by speaking of her background as a descendant of West Virginia Coal miners that literally fought to defend their interests & how that informs her hostile intentions for the elites of LAW. She’s then rudely interrupted by an aristocratic woman, giving her an opportunity to make an example of her.” - ReticentCone - skip-stop — Main Event: Astrid Arvidsson (c) vs Astrid Ostberg for the LAW World Openweight Championship
Quote
"There were a lof of magnificent threads in 2023. It's unlikely that it will be surprising for anyone, but the most significant for me were Astrid's coronation as the first openweight champion and her first title defense against Astrid Ostberg. It was very difficult to choose between these two, but I think the choice is more than fair, even though the fact that at the time of writing this quote the thread is not over yet.
This match combines everything that I love so much in rp. A real chemistry has formed between the characters, and each post is saturated with both tension and sincere emotions. For this, I thank @CaptainL with the utmost respect. If it hadn't been for him, this match would never have happened, not to mention the fact that he and his posts pushed and continue to push me forward at the maximum of my writing performance.
To conclude the quote, I would also like to say a big thank you to all my partners in 2023. Every thread with you all was special to me, and if I had my way, each of our threads would be here. I'm sure that in 2024 and all the following years we will have even more new great stories. Thank you all very much!" - skip-stop - the funny girl — gods and demons, Infernal Hierarchy vs The Goddessess of Justice
Quote
"This is one of the threads that I had the most fun with, since here Emma demonstrates how effective she can be when working as a team and even though her teammate was somewhat distant, even on certain occasions Mudrock didn't speak, she In a way she was satisfied to be able to fight in addition to being able to demonstrate her incredible fighting skills and apart from her immense resistance" - the funny girl - Vc0m — Stephanie "Baroness" Renaud vs Clara Gaster - Hell on Apex
Quote
"End of a 6 year storyline for me and Steed. An epic conclusion that helped me develop as a writer, develop Clara as a character, and was just in general epic and fun." - Vc0m - Fairy Dragon — LAW Apex Match: Kyoko Akan vs Emerald Viper Emaline
Quote
"This match kinda ends up going in a fun way for me because it shows a clear difference between two nasty sadists and how they view wrestling. It's a good show of how characters can be alike and different in so many ways and I think Kreydos does an amazing job with Emaline and her stable that I was happy to keep up with, plus it pretty much made 2023 really interesting." - Fairy Dragon - Rougue — Ishtar vs. Zoe - Oil Hentai Wrestling!
Quote
"There is not much to say. I just loved Zoe and Ishtars interaction and I also enjoyed how lewd it got. It also made me rethink abit about how I am going to use zoe in the future" - Rougue - ScoutLils — To paint The woes of Bast: Eshe Abdallah vs. Vorona
Quote
"I’m really invested in Vorona’s coldness and her brutality even when faced with a soft cinnamonroll like Eshe. Still, villains are some of my favorite charcters to write with (and hero’s don’t get me wrong but I just can’t help myself! Even I want to be a villainess sometimes!!) I have high hopes for this thread and I’m hoping that I can make it as much fun for my partner like any other thread!" - ScoutLils - Malkavia — Smash and Grab
Quote
"Smash and Grab was one of my first opportunities to get to know Shimmerlace as a person beyond her gimmick. I immensely enjoyed her dynamic with Angelina, and it has since come be one of the most defining threads for Shim’s character and goals." - Malkavia - Rymiscuius — An Attempt to overcome a Villainess: Annie Clark Vs. Karolina "Ray" Reinhardt
Quote
"There were plenty I wanted to choose from, but I think this one symbolizes a lot about what I like in wrestling RPs. It's fun, stress-free, I get to play heel, sell my ass off to a babyface and the user is receptive and great. Annie is a lovely thing and I'd happily write more of mine being powerbomb KO'd by her." - Rymiscuius
