Here is a list of all kinds of plural resources, from essays to tools! A star symbol (✦) next to the entry indicates that we especially like this one!

[to be added to, this isn’t complete yet!]

Written resources

  • ✦ More Than One (unknown author): A basic primer to plurality
  • A System’s Guide (anonymous): Another primer to plurality. Admittedly, we are not the biggest fans of parts of this guide, and feel like it can be too complicated for someone unfamiliar with plurality to follow. However, the bonus section, ✦ Letters: Am I Plural is excellent and we recommend it for people figuring things out.
  • ✦ How Do I Know I’m Plural (The Dragonheart Collective): An essay on plural experiences, designed to help those who are questioning figure things out
  • ✦ Plural Etiquette Questionnaire (Hungry Ghosts): A series of questions to answer about your plurality and your boundaries and preferences surrounding it! This is what we used in our introduction page!
  • ✦ United Front Bootcamp (kinhost.org): A series of lessons and tips that aims to help you improve your communication, internal relationships, and generally have a much healthier system. We have personally benefitted from this guide massively, and do recommend everyone takes a peek at the very least!

Essays

Tools

  • ✦ Simply Plural (mobile app + browser): An app designed for plurals/systems who want to keep track of their members. It allows you to record member information, create groups for organisation, log switches, send messages between members, and a few other smaller functions. Information can be synced with PluralKit (see below, it is a separate tool by separate devs), and you can also add friends to share member information and current fronters (although, please keep privacy in mind! Everything is private by default, and you can choose what you share with others, but I still advise that you do not friend people you don’t know.)
  • ✦ PluralKit (Discord bot): A Discord bot that allows you to create profiles for your system members and send messages with them using webhooks! I recommend looking through the website to get started. Be aware that everything is public by default, and public information can be accessed by anyone by looking it up on the bot or third-party resources. Use the privacy settings.
    • ✦ The official PK dashboard (browser) makes editing information far easier IMO, and has additional functions such as bulk member privacy settings. I recommend using it if/when possible!
  • Tupperbox (Discord): A similar bot with the same functions, although with some different functions. This bot has a member limit, unlike PK
  • Octocon (Discord + mobile app): Another similar bot, which, unlike the others, uses slash commands whenever possible. It also has an app which can be used to list + record information on members and fronts, which can be used by itself too. While Octocon is apparently open to all systems, the community surrounding it is incredibly exclusionary. It is a perfectly fine resource, but I know some people are uncomfortable with that.
  • ✦ Utter (browser): A chat tool for communicating between members! Import your PK or Tupper information (or start from scratch and create a few profiles, if you prefer that!), and chat together with your own profiles! The chats are ephemeral (they will vanish on a reload). Be sure to screenshot or export chat logs you need to keep (clicking “copy alt text” will give you a log of it!)
  • MultiChat (Windows, Linux, maybe Mac??): A similar tool which uses a terminal instead of a browser
  • ✦ pluralkit.xyz (browser): A site for sharing public information from your PluralKit, such as members and your current fronters
  • PKFronters (browser): A similar tool, although it only shows current fronters. Has tools to help you easily embed the information on your own personal site to display!
  • fronters.cc (browser): Another similar tool, this time with support for displaying Simply Plural front information as well
