Chat thread for "Helping Out"

Chat thread
for
"Helping Out"

Please Note:
This thread is intended for the current writers
of the roleplay, "Helping Out".

If you are a reader of our roleplay,
you are welcome to read along,
but please do not post here.​

The reason for creating this thread: I wanted a place for the writers to keep in touch, and while we had been using a Private Message thread, I only just learned that there can only be 6 writers in a PM, and --of this moment -- we have 6 writers, 1 former writer who might rejoin us, and at least two more writers with whom I am in contact about them possibly joining us.

So, if one of you has something to say to the others, feel free to post it here, just like we had been in the PM. If it is something meant for just one other writer, please PM it to them; we don't need to flood this thread with 1x1 chat, okay?

 

[Alice2015]

The info below is a copy of the PM I just sent to all of you. You can read it again or not, doesn't matter; you all read it already, but I wanted this info to be in this thread.


I'm going to catch everyone up on the major shakeup that is taking place; some of you know some of this, some of you know all of this, but some of you don't know any of this. Haaaa! That was fun to write.

• We are welcoming a new writer, Tygaara117.
• TiredFingers is giving control of "Vance Littleton" to Tygaara117.
• CutiePie1997 has to "suspend" her participation:
  • Her computer failed, and she can't roleplay on her phone.
  • However, CutiePie wants to keep abreast of the chat, which is the reason I am creating the Chat Thread, to which she can subscribe.
  • Some of her characters will continue, while some will go into suspended animation:
    • TiredFingers will write "Pamela".
    • I will write "Claudia" and "Sammi".
    • "Kim" and "Marti" are not well-established characters, but when/if they do become established, I will write them unless someone else comes aboard to do so.

 

[Tygaara117]

How do subscribe to this thread?

 

[Tygaara117]

Oh okay sorry I didn't know

 

[Tygaara117]

Can give the character a personality yet or no?

 

[Alice2015]

Okay, so, two things:

• First, there's been a reversal: TiredFingers is going to keep Vance Littleton. We talked about it in PM, and neither of us wants to see him give up such a well-established character after all.
• And second, we're moving on to Thursday, March 27, 2025. This is a 2-day time jump from where most of us were posting.
• We're doing this to move the storyline along.
• I'm going to post for Viola, then for Lyra, then for Claudia.
• If ya'll have interactions with those characters, you might want to hold off before you post, just to see where they are and what they're doing.
• I'll try to make it quick.

If you're online now writing a post, you might want to PM me and tell me that, so that what I'm posting and what you're writing don't conflict. I don't want to waste your time.

 

[TiredFingers]

I'm writing in the 1x1, so I'm okay.

Do we know if anyone but the two of us are still writing? I've seen no more posts from Baddie4Life, and I looked at her profile/postings, and she hasn't put anything up since her very first post to "Helping out", not even in other threads.

Qwertymaker's last post wasn't that long ago, so that's cool.

And Tygaara is very active, but hasn't responded to either our PM or our Chat thread. I'm afraid we ran him off by not letting him have Vance, but I really want to keep Vance. Sorry, Tyg.

I miss CutiePie.

 

[Tygaara117]

No you guys didn't run my off at all I work in the afternoon to 12 am

 

[Alice2015]

Okay, so, another change:

• Baddie4Life, who was going to write Serena, the loan shark, seems to have disappeared from Literotica; she has had no activity since her first and only post to our Main IC Thread over a week ago, and she is not responding to any of my PMs asking if she's still around.
• TiredFingers was actually the first writer to suggest a loan shark be added to the storyline, so I'm going to give him the loan shark role.
• Here's the twist, though: TF is going to write a female loan shark who is a lesbian. This is because I wanted one of bisexual Viola's sexual relationships to be with a female character. Originally, I thought that that might happen with Sammi, who at the time was written by CutiePie1997 but who is now being written by me.
• We are still going to use the 1x1 called "Loan Shark", but it will not have begun yet.
• I'm going to edit my original post for when Viola met the Loan Shark at The Black Hole to indicate that the meeting doesn't happen until I get around to writing it.
• You all can forget the post from Baddie4Life that included threatening a client with a working saw at the Toland Lumber Company. (Personally, I didn't like that post because it was too violent for the situation, but I didn't say anything at the time because I didn't want to appear overbearing.)

Okay, that's it for now.

I'm excited about this!

 

[TiredFingers]

I haven't been posting for Vance and Mark because I'm just letting them go along with the flow, so no one has to wait for them.

I'm going to post for Mark for Friday, but not until after Viola and Zandar finish their interaction. I am going to have Mark speak to Zandar about what the latter needs from him to get the terrace done.

I'm having fun in the 1x1, though. Did you see that one coming, Alice?

 

[Alice2015]

I haven't been posting for Vance and Mark because I'm just letting them go along with the flow, so no one has to wait for them.

Not a problem. In fact, it's good to know when you all aren't going to post for the rest of the day, so that we can move to the next. Thanks.

I'm going to post for Mark for Friday, but not until after Viola and Zandar finish their interaction. I am going to have Mark speak to Zandar about what the latter needs from him to get the terrace done.

That works for me. I'm just waiting to see how far ahead "Zandar" moves the story.

I'm having fun in the 1x1, though. Did you see that one coming, Alice?

No, I didn't!!

For all of you, I'm offline for several hours. RL has reared its ugly head again.

 

[Alice2015]

I'm giving up for the night probably. Things to do.

 

[TiredFingers]

I'm giving up for the night probably. Things to do.

I'm going to try to post for all of my main characters before I can it a night.

 

[DreamingOfMyEx]

Alrighty everybody, this is my story and I'm sticking to it, until I decide differently.

Early on I made up a character. (Randy Jackson)

Given my propensity to be away for days at a time, I wanted this character to not be at the forefront of Toland social life, but just someone I could play when the opportunity (and more importantly, when the mood) presented itself. Kicking back and more or less sort of following what's been happening, I haven't been inspired to do anything with this character.

Now I am inspired to present another character, one I can see playing more frequently. SHE is a native of Toland, a former teacher, and more-or-less stay-at-home wife and mother of young children.

I am looking for someone to play her husband.

Please note that the "children" part is not carved in stone - it's simply something I thought would be appropriate for the character I want to play, but don't let the idea of children frighten you away from taking the husband role. I am flexible there.

Now we look ahead to the bottom line. I'd put it in spoilers, but I don't know how to do that, or if it can even be done here. Besides, I figure everybody would look anyway ....

These characters, husband and wife, unlike everyone else who has ventured into Toland recently, do not belong on the cover of People Magazine. They are very average-looking people. In fact, SHE has a bit of a weight problem, which resulted in significant self-esteem issues. Her story line will involve the loss of that weight, and her dealing with the fact the ugly duckling is turning into a beautiful swan. (The husband's story line will also involve him dealing with his wife's transformation.)

I'll go ahead and put it here - the non-negotiable part: I want this couple to be involved in Femdom role play - only with each other - in the privacy of their bedroom after the children (if any) are asleep. Their history is that it is the husband's big kink. The wife isn't that crazy about it, but she does it (occasionally, but not as often as he'd like) because he's a good husband otherwise, and it's what wives do for their husbands.

Here's what I envision: As she loses weight and sees herself as "sexier" (at the urging of her husband) -- she starts to see herself as more worthy of the role he has been "forcing" on her.

--

Here are a few things I would like to see in the husband:

- His job pays very well, and takes him out of town for extended periods of time on a regular schedule. (I'm thinking of something like working offshore oil rig which could be one week at home and one week away, or two weeks each, or a month each) but I'm open to other ideas.
- He can be "cute" at best, but not devastatingly handsome.
- He should be "in shape", but in no danger of being kidnapped and forced to play in the NFL anytime soon.
- He should be a good Christian man (non-negotiable) with old-fashioned values - but like any human, not without sin.
- He should be loyal to his wife and the wedding vows. He can look, he can fantasize, he can even come close to breaking the vows, but in the end he does the right thing (and is very sorry for what he was thinking, though he won't confess it to the wife - or anyone else).
- He is from a lower socio-economic background than his wife, and has only a high school diploma. (this is semi-negotiable if you want him to have taken a couple of classes at the community college before it closed.)

I found a "before and after" picture I really like and plan to use for my character. I just need to do a little work on it (for everyone to see some "before" shots and not the "after" ones until we reach the appropriate point in the story.

--

So, all that said, here she is (so far):

Anne Marie (Peterson) (married name goes here) - stay at home wife and mom, Part time unpaid secretary at the First Baptist Church.

Physical Description:

• Image (coming soon):
• 31 years old – female - (born 1994).
• 5'6", weight is something you don't ask a lady, right?

Childhood and Family:

• She grew up in Toland, her only significant time away was when she went to college.
• Hers was a happy, healthy household with three girls, all approximately two years apart in age. Her older sister Jeanette married a lawyer and lives in Hawaii. Her younger sister Felicia married a Navy pilot and lives in Virginia in a suburb of Washington DC.
• Her father, Marcus, is a Family Practice physician. Her mother, Mary, was/is the stay at home housewife/mother type who after all three girls were in school, volunteered for numerous charities – setting the example for how the wife of a prominent man in the community should “give back” to the community. “Doctor Mark” and his wife moved to Toland a week after completing his residency (which was one week before their first child was born.) He worked in both the Family Practice clinic in Toland, and the County Hospital in Carlson Creek. As soon as their youngest graduated high school, they moved to Capital City where he is now an administrator at the big teaching hospital associated with the medical school at the big university there.
• The Peterson family had no relatives in or around Toland and no close ties before moving there.

High School:

• Anne (sometimes called “Anne Marie”) was a star pupil, graduating second in her class.
• She played catcher on the Girl’s Softball Team, and was captain of the Academic Decathlon team for her last two years.
• She played clarinet in the Marching Band, and Violin in the Orchestra.
• Her Senior Year she was voted “Most Likely to Win a Grammy”, “Most Likely to Travel the World”, and “Most Likely to Win a Presidential Debate”. It was a small school, and most seniors averaged three “yearbook superlatives”.
• She started gaining weight in her Sophomore year. Given that both sisters were considered much “prettier” than her, it affected her self-image greatly. She dated very little, and poured herself into music and academics.
• She graduated in 2012.

College:

• She attended Baylor University on a music scholarship.
• At Baylor she played clarinet in the Marching Band.
• She graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and a teaching certificate.
• More to come ….?

Professional Life:

• She slipped right into an open teaching position at Toland Middle School as soon as she graduated from Baylor. She taught music, directed the Middle School Marching Band, and also taught an English class. She was the faculty sponsor of the Debate Club which included both High School and Middle School.
• The schools closed in Toland in 2018. That’s when she learned she was pregnant. Instead of fighting for a position in a nearby district, she elected to be a stay-at-home mom.
• She home-schools her children, and volunteers three days a week – four hours each day – as secretary at the First Baptist Church of Toland. Her usual days are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. There she answers the occasional telephone call and prepares the bulletin on Fridays as soon as the Pastor lets her know the sermon topic. Since it is a volunteer position and there are other people willing to fill in if needed, she can take off practically any time she wants.
• Her children accompany her to church on the days she works in the office. Depending on age and ability, they work on their homeschool lessons or do work in and around the church as part of their “community service” requirement.

Marriage, Family Life, and things that happen behind closed doors:

• She is married to …
• Children? Maybe ...
• Her sex life? Are you authorized to be reading this?

In the roleplay:

==

Edit:

- I just wanted to mention that in the interest of moving along with the "weight loss and getting sexy" theme, I would still like it to not happen TOO soon in the story, but we can certainly play out in some 1x1 play some of what transpired before the official beginning of the story.

[TiredFingers]

Given my propensity to be away for days at a time, I wanted this character to not be at the forefront of Toland social life...

As you know, I've been trying to cut out characters, but I'm really interested in what you posted below. Since you only plan on posting occasionally (and not like the addicts that Alice and I can be, yes, Alice, I called you an addict! ) I think I could make this work.

I'm going to post a couple of ideas at the bottom, after I have asked some questions:

Please note that the "children" part is not carved in stone...

I'm perfectly fine with them having children. It grounds them and makes them a lasting part of Toland.

...spoilers...

Has anyone figured out how to make spoilers/hiders work in Literotica. In the BBCode instructions section, it says they have them, but I've never been able to get them to work on my computer, only on my phone, and half of the time even those don't work. I miss RolePlayersGuild, which had incredible spoilers/hiders (but didn't allow sex).

...do not belong on the cover of People Magazine.

Yeah, we have a tendency of playing the beautiful people, don't we? I wouldn't mind at all writing opposite a woman with some baby birth weight (or whatever they call it) but who is doing what she can to lose a few pounds. The whole, what did you call it, "duckling is turning into a beautiful swan" thing sounds fun.

Femdom role play

So, how deep into Femdom are we talking? Her bossing him around, her slapping him, her tying him up? Leather, handcuffs, whips? I'll be honest: I've never written a Sub husband, but it sounds fun AND I think that you should lead the scenes anyway, with me writing "this is how he reacted" replies.

Their history is that it is the husband's big kink. The wife isn't that crazy about it, but she does it (occasionally, but not as often as he'd like) because he's a good husband otherwise, and it's what wives do for their husbands.

Here's what I envision: As she loses weight and sees herself as "sexier" (at the urging of her husband) -- she starts to see herself as more worthy of the role he has been "forcing" on her.

I like this!

Here are a few things I would like to see in the husband:

- His job pays very well, and takes him out of town for extended periods of time on a regular schedule. (I'm thinking of something like working offshore oil rig...

Yes. He is an inspector, which takes him to 4-6 oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America if you're a Trumper ) over the course of 4 weeks at a time, then he's home for 10 days, then back again.

- He can be "cute" at best, but not devastatingly handsome.- He should be "in shape", but in no danger of being kidnapped and forced to play in the NFL anytime soon.

You pick the image. I play everyone: race, color, hair, size, I don't care.

- He should be a good Christian man (non-negotiable) with old-fashioned values - but like any human, not without sin.

I am not personally religious, but I know enough about religion to fake it until I make it.

- He should be loyal to his wife and the wedding vows.

Absolutely.

- He is from a lower socio-economic background than his wife, and has only a high school diploma.

Not a problem. His father worked at Toland Lumber Company. His mother was a housewife who babysat other people's kids, too.

...taken a couple of classes at the community college before it closed.

Some job-related classes.

Marriage, Family Life, and things that happen behind closed doors:

• She is married to … Kyle Wilson <<<<<<<
• Children? Maybe ... 3? Boy, girl, boy? Girl, boy, girl? <<<<<<<<<
• Her sex life? Are you authorized to be reading this? The first night he gets home, he is always exhausted and just wants to cuddle ... maybe get a blowjob? Will she? Does she? But that next morning, oh boy, he's raring (or is it rearing?) to go!

In the roleplay:

==

Edit:

- I just wanted to mention that in the interest of moving along with the "weight loss and getting sexy" theme, I would still like it to not happen TOO soon in the story, but we can certainly play out in some 1x1 play some of what transpired before the official beginning of the story.

I have a great idea, but you tell me what you think. (Oh no! More of Alice's bullet points! Duck!!) (Love you, Alice )

• What is we start a flashback 1x1 to the first time he asked her to engage in Femdom?
• I would start the thread with him saying something like, "Honey, I want to talk to you about something..."
• But then I would let you write a reply in which she reflects on what he asked her to do.
• That way, you are setting out the scene. (I'll just go with it. Oh, I'll be so reluctant, of course. NOT!)
• Then, each time he comes home, they step it up maybe?
• Plus, each time he comes home, she has lost a couple of more pounds and is looking hotter and hotter BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, she is becoming more confident.
• At the same time, he/she/both of them can be posting in the main IC thread, too.
  • If you were the only one posting right now ("March 2025"), then you would be totally in charge of how she has changed over the years.
  • Then, after he comes home from the Gulf ("Late April, 2025), I will already know where she is in her life, and once again I can respond with her having already set the scene.

What do you think about that?

Anne Marie

Are you going to save her "Swan" picture for the very end of the 1x1? Or put it in the main IC?

So, tell me what you think. I'm excited about this.

 

[DreamingOfMyEx]

Hmmm, a lot to cover so let me give this a shot --

First, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST!

I remembered how to do the picture thing, that's all I really needed. I have the picture of her after the weight loss, in some workout clothing, I figured it would be appropriate to wait to share it. I also have a poorly photoshopped picture of her looking way too sexy for a trip to the grocery store. That's just my initial reaction to the question about pictures, I'll probably share in a PM before long.

--

How deep into Femdom? Well, that can cover a LOT of area. What I envision is him wanting to play some psychodrama - she's the sexy spy, he's tied to the chair while she interrogates him. Maybe a wee bit of physicality - but if she really slapped him during play something inside her would probably break. Remember, she isn't really into this (yet) - A traditional woman like her wants a man who can provide for and protect his family, not a wimp who submits to getting spanked. Maybe that will be part of the fun - backing up to early in the marriage where they're trying to figure it all out.

I expect a lot of it to be "verbal".
"If you can't satisfy me, I'll find someone who can."
"That cute waiter was totally looking down my shirt. Maybe I should unbutton another button for him before he gets back. What do you think?"

When we get to the point where she starts liking it, it will happen slowly enough, so she's not going to surprise him with castration during a pegging session. She might, however, surprise him with a chastity device.

--

His job: Ten days home then gone a month sounds a little more extreme than what I was thinking, and I don't see a loving wife being okay with that - however, I don't want to be difficult. You've got plenty on your plate already so I can understand wanting to not take on a big commitment. So perhaps his usual job in the past was more of a 50/50 thing, and with this recent (in game time) promotion to "Inspector" the increased hours - he assures her - is just a temporary thing, and well worth the extra money he'll be making. I'm pretty sure the newer sexier version of the wife will enjoy having all that money to spend on herself.

--

Family: I think maybe three rambunctious boys - ages 6, 4, and 2, would make for an interesting challenge. I don't think anyone has brought up how far away the state capitol is located (where her parents are) so we'll come up with something with Alice - I'm thinking occasionally extended free child care.

Is your character a lifelong resident of Toland also? Are his parents (or a parent) anywhere nearby?

--

Church / Religion: Yeah, I was going to say he doesn't need to be a theologian. It's fine if his faith is fairly basic. Go to church on Sunday, say bedtime prayers with the children, help out if there's some project like renovating the church nursery or taking a casserole to a family in need, and don't be an asshole.

--

Class differences: My thought here, frankly, is that neither of them thought they would do any better and settled for each other. Later, she might really drive home the point he isn't good enough for her.

For now, she gets along well with her in-laws. (Oh yeah, before I forget, does he have a younger brother she can fuck???)

--


For your "great idea" regarding 1x1 play, I think it's a great idea! I see her as a "missionary sex" kind of girl - she can certainly give him a hand job - with some kissing and licking. And when he's away for a month at a time, she can interact with other people in town (innocently of course, for now.) I don't see her/them playing a huge role in that main theme of the big influx of money into Toland, but who knows - something could happen.

I'll go ahead and post my "official" character bio in the proper place, filling in the blanks to the best of my ability, and then maybe send you the "after" picture just to keep you interested.

If you want to start a 1x1 post going back to the very early days of their marriage, go for it. That also reminds me, we still haven't decided when they got married.

 

[TiredFingers]

This only gets better every time we write about it!

I remembered how to do the picture thing, that's all I really needed. I have the picture of her after the weight loss, in some workout clothing, I figured it would be appropriate to wait to share it. I also have a poorly photoshopped picture of her looking way too sexy for a trip to the grocery store. That's just my initial reaction to the question about pictures, I'll probably share in a PM before long.

I love having multiple pictures of my characters. I wish I had them for the actors/models I'm using now, but that didn't happen this time around. But I can't wait to see her "after" and "OMG, is that you?" pics. That'll be fun.

How deep into Femdom?

I love everything you said.

When we get to the point where she starts liking it, it will happen slowly enough, so she's not going to surprise him with castration during a pegging session. She might, however, surprise him with a chastity device.

Can I just say, "Ouch!" I can't wait to find out if he says "Do it baby", "You wanna do what?" or "Holy Fuck, what's wrong with you?" We'll just have to see where he/she/they are with this.

His job: Ten days home then gone a month sounds a little much extreme

What about 15 days gone, 6 back? I'm looking for a weird total number of days (21 rather than 15 or 30) so that the overlap of different inspectors would give them rotating weekends, holidays, etc,. off. That's how it worked when I was working in a Naval shipyard. Our schedule was a mix of days, swing, and graveyard; weekdays and weekends; and weekends that altered between 2, 3, and 5 days in length.

well worth the extra money he'll be making. I'm pretty sure the newer sexier version of the wife will enjoy having all that money to spend on herself.

Ooooo, new clothes, new makeup, new hair. New guys?

Family: I think maybe three rambunctious boys - ages 6, 4, and 2,

Definitely

I don't think anyone has brought up how far away the state capitol is located

60 miles. Alice posted that it was 60 miles west to Capital City. She hasn't said whether that's to the suburbs, but she did say that she (Viola) made it from Toland to her bank in an hour at the speed limit.

(where her parents are) ... I'm thinking occasionally extended free child care.

For when she needs her freedom for a date? (Do you see a trend in my questions? You will when you see the comment below about the husband's brother(s).

Is your character a lifelong resident of Toland also?

Yes. Why not?

Are his parents (or a parent) anywhere nearby?

Whatever you need. Doesn't matter to me.

Church / Religion: Yeah, I was going to say he doesn't need to be a theologian. It's fine if his faith is fairly basic. Go to church on Sunday, say bedtime prayers with the children, help out if there's some project like renovating the church nursery or taking a casserole to a family in need, and don't be an asshole.

Again, agreed. I can write that.

Class differences: My thought here, frankly, is that neither of them thought they would do any better and settled for each other. Later, she might really drive home the point he isn't good enough for her.

That'll wax his wick!

For now, she gets along well with her in-laws. (Oh yeah, before I forget, does he have a younger brother she can fuck???)

At LEAST one!

For your "great idea" regarding 1x1 play, I think it's a great idea!

Cool. I'll start one as soon as:

• You post her final profile with all the changes/edits/alterations/whatever.
• And I get home. (I'm taking off for a while.)

I see her as a "missionary sex" kind of girl - she can certainly give him a hand job - with some kissing and licking.

He'll want more, but the fact that he's getting any makes him happy. Does she orgasm? Does she fake if she doesn't? Does she "take control of her own satisfaction", in front of him or later in the bathroom or when he's not there? All very good questions!

And when he's away for a month at a time, she can interact with other people in town (innocently of course, for now.) I don't see her/them playing a huge role in that main theme of the big influx of money into Toland, but who knows - something could happen.

I'm sure that between the three of us, we can come up with something. (You'll notice that I said the three of us, leaving QwertyMaker out. But, maybe Adam/Matt will come up with something?

If you want to start a 1x1 post going back to the very early days of their marriage, go for it. That also reminds me, we still haven't decided when they got married.

What if he "knocked her up" the summer after she/they graduated? A shotgun wedding? They really liked it other, though, so it wasn't like they were reluctant. It simply wasn't planned. Just a thought. What's the age gap if any?

 

[DreamingOfMyEx]

Wow, cool, yes to all. Thanks for directions to Capital City. An hour is pretty convenient.

Any schedule you work out will be fine with me - though she will want him home more often.

As for sex, she would have been a virgin, so he was her first and only. It must have been pretty serious for her to give it up to him - whether he knew it or not. Also, that means they have only been married for ... seven years? (Despite my fetish for details, when it comes to years I generally just deal in round numbers.)

The fact she "had" to get married is still a source of shame for her - but life is too busy to dwell on it. The baby came late enough that everyone could buy into the fantasy that she got pregnant on the honeymoon, but ... she thinks everyone knows. It's also interesting that both sisters' weddings were big lavish affairs, while hers was just close friends and immediate family in her parents' garden - on short notice.

His age? Please feel free to decide. She was 24 when they married - if that helps.

Sexual stuff: Hmmm.. For her, sex is about feeling close to her partner. She has never had an orgasm. (His penis size to blame?) When he has tried to bring her off in other ways (finger, tongue), she was actually frightened by the feelings that were overcoming her body and made him stop. Only a very few times has she ever actually gotten horny - and then would maybe rub herself a bit, initiate sex with him, etc... but it's usually either (a) he is horny and has to show a lot of patience in getting her ready to enter, or (b) he catches her in a benevolent mood (usually after he's done something she wanted him to do, like clean out the garage) and can very gently persuade her to do that thing he likes ... so she indulges him for a while, then lets him inside her to get it over with.

As for his picture - I kind of suck at finding good pictures - so we can both look.

Okay, so I added Anne's profile link to the OOC's first page. I included only her 2018 image, leaving her current image -- nice! -- for the time when you are ready to reveal it to the readers.

I love this idea the two of you are creating!

I'm going to see if I need to post for any of my main characters, then I'm going to write the first post of another role play that I am writing with DOME.

Amazing Alice - I wish I had half your energy, or organizational skills. Thanks for all the work you're doing to provide us with enjoyable play.

One tiny little thing - the picture I posted for Anne Marie isn't just her 2018 photo, that is also pretty much the way she looks near the beginning of our story - the "weight loss journey" is in process and won't be completed for a while.

I'll change that

Oh, this is mostly DOME. I'm following his lead (eagerly!) This is going to be fun, I think.

...then I'm going to write the first post of another role play that I am writing with DOME.

OMG, I just read your new IC and OOC both. I'm going to subscribe and read along. It looks great already

In a town (or city) the size of Toland, even at it's height, everyone would either know everyone else, or know someone who knows them. Certainly in the High School everyone would have known everyone else. So what I'm working on mentally here is what "relationship" my character (Anne Marie - Toland native, former teacher, and church secretary) might have with other characters. The following list is primary characters whose profiles indicate or suggest they spent most of their growing up years in Toland.

Toland “natives”

Maxine Toland (91)

Lyra MacDonald (21) - grad 2019

Sammi Rogers (26) -

Claudia Owens (18) -

Connor Evans (36) -

Dick Donner (age 25 – 35) - If and when his age is determined.

Charlie Reed (18) -

Matthew West (32) -

My character is Anne Marie (Peterson) Wilson - (age 31) - She graduated in 2012. She returned to teach Middle School English and Band in 2016, for two years before the schools closed. She has a sister two years older, and one two years younger. Both were prettier than her. I won't repeat the entire profile here, but it's available to read. If you want to recount any relationships, incidents, etc, while growing up or (for Claudia or Charlie) who were maybe barely in Middle School, please feel free to bounce it off of me. The only thing I'll "reject" is something totally out of character for her - like getting drunk and dancing naked on the principal's desk. But if it's something like dropping her lunch tray or hitting the game winning home run (or dropping the ball) that will probably be okay.

Also, Pamela King (34) is the one whose profile doesn't give any clues, unless I missed something.

thanks for your consideration
