Filming for the first filming block (episodes one through four) of Shared Home has begun! Below, you’ll find the house and room arrangements and the tasks for the next three weeks. The first four episodes will revolve around the main cast moving in, meeting their housemates, and getting comfortable in their new home.
Please note that this post is quite long, but it is divided into information for the main cast and information for muses not in the main cast, so that you can find the information most pertinent to your muse(s).
Note: While the initial ongoing event announcement post stated there would be new filming blocks every two weeks, in order to give members more time to complete tasks, they’ve been changed to every three weeks.
As always for events, please don’t feel pressured to complete more than you’re able to. Main cast members are encouraged to try to do at least a thread or two per filming block, but you won’t be penalized if you’re not able to!
FOR MAIN CAST:
Out of character, no one had to be cut and all muses who completed both required steps were included in the main cast! In character within the universe of the roleplay, the cast was meticulously chosen and cut down from a large batch of applicants to be on the show.

Before shooting begins, each participant will sign the contract for the show and be provided with a few basic rules of living in the house. These rules will not be able to be broken as production will always be present or nearby and monitoring the set whenever cast members are in the house.
Pets of any kind are not allowed on the house premises.
Cast members are not allowed to obscure or otherwise impede the filming of the stationary cameras mounted throughout all rooms of the house excluding the bathrooms.
Cast members are not allowed to engage in illegal activities of any sort on the premises of the house. Such activities will be immediately reported to the authorities.
Dating and other such activities are not to happen on the premises of the house while filming.
Guests to the house are not permitted to stay overnight unless production specifically requests them to.
Shoot Week One:
At some point from November 2 to 7, all cast members for the main cast will have their first day of filming. This will be a solo shoot of them packing in their current residence for the “move” into their new home. While they’ll not be living in the house full time, cast members are expected to pack and bring things with them to make their living quarters for the show feel like home. One producer and a small camera crew will be present for this shoot.
Shoot Week Two:
On November 10, all cast members will arrive at their assigned house. They will arrive in the order listed above of the main cast in each house. This will involve a small filming crew and the cast members will meet and mingle with the others in their house. They will not yet know their room assignments.
Once everyone is in their respective house, they will be told by the producers they will having a meal together with the rest of their housemates for their first night to meet each other. Cast members will then get to work cooking in the house’s large kitchen. Cast members most insecure in their cooking abilities will be tasked with either pairing up with another bad cook, helping a more experienced cook, or setting the table. Cast members most comfortable with cooking are permitted to take the lead on figuring out the menu with the items available in the fully-stocked kitchen.
The cast will eat the dinner that was prepared all together. They will be filmed talking and will be prompted to discuss their concerns and hopes for living with the others. After dinner, they will each be given a card with a number on it from production. This card will correspond to the number on one of the bedroom doors in the house, and this is the room they’ll be staying in. At this point, cast members will move their things into their rooms and meet their roommates and ideally begin to get to know them. This will all be filmed and cast members will spend their first night sleeping over in the house. The next day, cast members are allowed to freely interact for the whole day (with some nudging from production for interesting interactions when necessary) and get to know each other better within the confines of the house. Filming will end at 11PM on November 11. As this is a day without music show filming, the only cast members allowed to leave will be CHARM‘s Sunny, who will leave mid-afternoon to attend CHARM’s comeback showcase.
Cast members may also be requested to stay at the house to film on the 13th through the 16th to get additional footage of interactions.
Shoot Week Three:
This is the shoot week that will take up the majority of the first four episodes. From November 18 to November 22, all cast members will be staying in their respective house (some may need to leave here and there for schedules) with the mission of planning a housewarming party in four days. Housemates will need to work together to create a menu, decorate the house, decide how they’ll entertain guests, and make a guest list. Filming for this segment will take place both within the house and out and about, where housemates will go out in pairs or small groups to purchase necessary items for the housewarming party on a limited budget provided by production. This whole process will be filmed in addition to more daily interactions around the house.
On November 22, the housewarming party will be held and filmed. House One’s housewarming party will take place from 9AM to 1PM and House Two’s housewarming party will take place from 8PM to midnight. Main cast will be required to attend the housewarming party of the other house, and special guests (non-main cast muses who attend) will be present as well. Both parties will be filmed in their entirety, though the larger number of bodies in the house will mean a lot of footage is obtained from stationary cameras set up throughout the house. The schedule for the housewarming parties is specifically negotiated not to interfere with idols performing on Music Bank that day.
POINTS AVAILABLE FOR MAIN CAST: 15 points
+2 points (up to 10 points total) - INTERACTIONS: A thread taking place during this filming block with a starter and at least three replies (starter ▻ partner reply ▻ op reply ▻ partner reply) by the end of the three week filming period is worth 2 points. This is valid for up to five threads with different muses (muses don’t have to be main cast or in the same house due to the housewarming parties).
+3 points - SOLO: Writing a self-para taking place at any point during this filming block by the end of the three week filming period is worth 3 points. (The shoot week one solo filming is a good fit for this, but not required!)
+2 points - INTERVIEW: Answering these short interviews (one after filming week one and one after filming week three) in-character is worth 2 points. These will be filmed in an area set off to the side of each house to be filmed with the cast members speaking directly to the camera about their feelings. These can be completed either as two short separate posts or put into one post depending on your preferred method, but both sections of the main cast interview must be completed to earn any points!
None of these will count toward your monthly limits for anything and must be completed and posted in the #fmdsh1 tag by Saturday, November 23 at 11:59PM EST to qualify for points.
FOR NON-MAIN CAST (CAMEO APPEARANCES):
Idols not in the main cast of the show will have a variety of opportunities to appear on-camera for this filming block. The following prompts explain each opportunity.
Opportunity One
Your muse has been requested to attend at least one of the housewarming parties on November 22, either by production or the housemates themselves (though all requests for appearance will be implied as a request from both). Management has chosen to have this opportunity added to your muse’s schedule and they will attend House One’s housewarming party (9AM to 1PM) and/or House Two’s housewarming party (8PM to midnight). Your muse has been requested to make an appearance at either one or both parties, but they will not be staying for the whole time at either so that guests can cycle in and out in order to keep the house from getting too packed.
Opportunity Two
Your muse has been requested to bring a gift to the housewarming party/parties in addition to bringing themselves. Typical housewarming gifts include items like baked goods, candles, plants, blankets or towels, art, etc., but your muse is allowed to think out of the box too, or even personalize a gift to a friend they may have in the cast. A good gift can steal the show as much as any main cast member and earn a buzz-worthy cameo, but a less exciting one is sure to still be appreciated.
Opportunity Three
Your muse has been requested to film a short interview for footage that may be used to help narrate the show as special celebrity guest commentary appearances.
POINTS AVAILABLE FOR CAMEOS: 15 points
+2 points (up to 10 points total) - INTERACTIONS: A thread taking place during the housewarming parties with a starter and at least three replies (starter ▻ partner reply ▻ op reply ▻ partner reply) by the end of the three week filming period is worth 2 points. This is valid for up to five threads with different muses (muses don’t have to be main cast).
+3 points - SOLO: Completing the above housewarming gift prompt in a self-para or headcanon of 400+ words by the end of the three week filming period is worth 3 points.
+2 points - INTERVIEW: Answering this interview in-character is worth 2 points. This will either be filmed in their company building after the housewarming party and sent to production or during the housewarming party.
None of these will count toward your monthly limits for anything and must be completed and posted in the #fmdsh1 tag by Saturday, November 23 at 11:59PM EST to qualify for points.
