If you've got an idea for a new adventure, post 'em here! What you'll need to include:A. Date 1.In what year do you wish to have your adventure take place in? 2. Make sure to include proper events. (I.e., If your adventure takes place in the 1800's, you can't include planes, cars, fancy hotels, tvs, cd players, or anything that may have been made after 1900.) B. Character(s) 1. Make sure you have your character's personality down pact when you start. You don't want to confuse others by changing attitudes or removing important dates/events in the character's history. C. Location 1. Make sure you specify location and again, make sure the date in which you've chosen matches up. 2. If you wish to move, also make sure others know about it. (I.e., "*So-and-so heads out on a train and arrives 3 days later."*) Make sure you specify WHERE you're going.D. Second characters (optional) 2. Choose a boyfriend/girlfriend and clerify your status with them in the beginning. 3. You can either choose to be married/dating/ or haven't yet met each other. 4. Your boyfriend can either be someone you know or, our specialty, actors. 5. Make sure you also specify how old they are. The responsibiluty with a second character will be having to explain their history and personality. 6. If someone else wants the same actor as you, compromise and create your own unique fellow by mixing that person's movie characters. (I.e., Jerry Lewis: Kelp/CCH., Melvin?!/Willard (Family Jewels). ) E. Plot 1. Choose a plot for your characters. I'd give you ideas, but geez, I'm running out, that's why I created this thread, lol. RULES:*No swearing. *No perversion. *No disrespect. *No crude humor. And the biggest rule of all...just have fun, will ya'?

I don't really know what you guys want to do, so here are my ideas for our new thread: Love 'em, hate 'em, let me know. We can work it out lol!
Date I was thinking 1900's, but if I want to have Glenn in a uniform, I think it should take place in the 40's. I don't know if this is possible, but then again, ANYTHING is possible. I would like to maybe meet during the 1930's in this, then keep right on going until 1940. Someone could decide when the new years hit. It doesn't really matter I guess what time they hit. I just, of course want it to the the 40's because of the war and such, and then I can have a man in uniform. Then, of course, off of that comes the historically accurate events you talk about.
Characters Of course there will be me, being me. That's just a given, and you, and Sel, of course just being yourselves. I want Glenn to not be in the Army when we first meet, but to have his band. He'll be a laid back sort of individual. I don't know how you want Deeds played and how Sel would like Dean played. When Charlie comes on the scene, I just want him to be true to form as well. Even though it's the 40's I would like him to be young still. Glenn, was young at that point in time, so he can be played just about true to form. I don't know if I'm being too strict with my adventuring "guidelines" here or not, but I don't want Glenn to be in the Army when we first meet. He'll join before we get married. If that's alright with everyone else. If we forget, then we can just play it our own way. Because I think all three of us have some sort of master plan going on in our heads of how we want this to work out.
Location I'm not really sure about location. I know Glenn and I will be travelling, and we will, of course, have to say where we are travelling to. We could be in New York, or anywhere else in the world for that matter. I'll leave all of that up to chance I guess.
Second Characters I guess this is where I put all of that stuff about not wanting to be married to Glenn in the beginning. We'll just meet. He won't be in the army, but he'll have his band, and then he'll join the Army before we get married, we eventually get married, have a kid, he dies in a plane crash, true to form. I am sad and depressed for "quite some time" and then Charlie comes on the scene. I don't know how I am going to meet any of these people. That I am leaving to chance as well. I want him to be young, never married, that sort of thing. Well, maybe married once.
Plot That's a hard one for me really. I guess just day to day life, as we have been doing. Just play out our lives. Although nothing has to be "real time" or anything like that, even the roll overs to the new year, since we don't even seem to have a division of days. People just sleep when it seems appropriate to the story and that's about it.
I hope that doesn't sound too demanding. I'll leave how Deeds and Dean are played up to you and Sel since they are your boyfriends/husbands/fiances.

I had to make the thread seem more strict than I had actually planned.
You can stretch things as far as you'd like, but just to give you a firm base., you'll have to post the basics and, of course, not going back on the history or important character details.
Seeing as Charlie would be around 50 in the 40's, you could stretch the truth and just say that he's about 20 or 30.
Same with the date. I know not everyone is going to agree on the exact same date, but seeing as this it ALL of OUR stories, we can make it either a Comedy/drama, comedy, just drama or complete fiction...whereas we find a time machine and travel BACK to the 1940's.
Again, I'm not sure because this could be very difficult to decice without our third adventurer but if we find some common ground I know we'll figure this puzzle out.
I also had an idea for each plot; you know in the 30's, how we split each characters' scenes? (Megg, Jerry, Dean then Kim, Lawson ending with Deeds); I thought maybe we could try that for a little while and see how well it works. Not throughout the whole story, mind you, I know it's fun to get together with all 8 (wow, 8?!) of us, but just a small suggestion until we get everyone's stories down pact and our feet firmly situated in the adventure.
Wow, *wiggles in her chair* this is gonna be so exciting! I hope Sel hurries up...

Me too. Yeah, I was hoping I could stretch the truth some there in Charlie's age department. I'm not sure how I wanna do the plot. I do like some drama, some comedy, so that'll probably be the basis of it. I do like what we're doing in the "Back to the 30's" thread, however, I'm sure if you go back and look at previous posts we probably didn't start out at all the way we are doing it now. Of course, it was just a simple story then.
I dunno how we're going to get to the 1940's. The time machine does add a whole new element. The whole fact of like having to get back to the time that we were in before. The whole sort of like idea of "The portal closing." Maybe. That would definitely be another sorce for comedy! I think maybe we should stick with that then. I do like that idea a lot, of course, if Sel doesn't mind it. I like the whole new element it adds. The whole "reveal" thing. Yes, I'm re-working my grand plan lol :-)
I do hope Sel hurries back to! I can't wait to get this started! Wow, eight?!?! That seems almost impossible, but I guess we'll manage, we've managed with me, Jerry, you, Deeds, and Lawson, and that's only four...so, we're just adding 4, well, five more actually, but Glenn has to be killed first!
Oh pally, I'm so excited. It's like xmas or sommit!

I do love that as well...I was thinking, Me and Glenn could sort of have, at first a relationship sort of like Lockwood and Lamont. I think he loves me, he doesn't, but then, just this one romantic scene, and boom, it just takes off, but still, with the drama and such of him dying and running into Charlie, or Jerry or Dean, or whoever lol! I love it! Let's get started on it!

We could be "old school friends." Those sorts of relationships always work out well, especially if there's some trouble later on. It forms different alliances and so forth. I guess I'm already an actress, and Glenn is in movies as well. I don't think he ever made one, he was just a band leader, but he can make movies now lol. Maybe if Sel is an aspiring actress, Kim and I, who could be working on a movie on the same lot, could be lunching at a chic spot and we see you walk by and stop you and invite you in and yadda yadda blah blah blah from there...

yeah I was thinking some of us could be working on sets, and meet actors/actresses, and some of us could be trying to get jobs and some of us could be really famouse! lol, I act like theres so many people on this thread! lol, okay so we could have sel, kim, meg, jerry, deeds, glenn, charlie, dean, and who ever, that way we could have all these parts taken up...hmm, maybe we should write out who we are, and who we know, and how, and yada, yada, you know?

Do you want the bio's on this thread or do you want them in the actual adventure thread, or should we make a different topic altogether for bio's and just call it "Character Biographies?"
Cause, I'm sure I could make up some grandiose bio for myself and pull pieces and parts together for the other people lol.

We'll post them in the thread, each to thee's own. We'll make it all fit together. Like I said before, I'll be last. But if thee both wanna post it now, that's all right with me. Like I said before, I don't have to be the one to post everything. Just post the biographies and historical pieces, it should be good enough for now.

Alright, I can start it now, the historical stuff, I mean. Any ideas on what we should call the thread? I'm all out lol

Post by *~Mrs. Cooper ~* on Dec 24, 2006 20:36:40 GMT -5
lol, So am I... How about, 'The adeventures in Hollywoodland' or give it the title of our movie. As in, we all play in the same movie, intertwined with each characters' story....I'm really not sure, but we should come up with a great title, seeing how much effort we're putting into this story! Thee could come up with something much better than I.

Yeah, I was thinking something like "Hollywood Here We Come" or something like that. Since Sel said something about like her character wanting to get into show business, although we already are and what not, but we know her from our past..but then that wouldn't make much sense because we are already there, so maybe something to do with the movie..but what would we call our movie lol. Seeing as how Glenn is in it, it should have a band-like title are something musical... like "swing time" which might already be a movie lol..but that's as good as I got for tonight lol!
