A Story About You

You might be the star of the show, but have no illusions that you're in charge. You're simply being blown around by the whims of your creator. But this story is still yours. Make what you can of it.

Below the cut you will find a list of Comedy event themed subplots. Partners for the subplots are the same as the partners for the body swap.

Family Matters

As though things weren’t already bad enough, it seems that this is the week that some of our Townies have plans with family and have to make an appearance. Unfortunately their families are expecting them to look like themselves and at the moment they don’t. What else can be done but try to coach the person they’ve swapped with on how to deal with their family... let’s just hope things go according to plan.

Seth Elkins & Emilija Irbe

Madison Walcott & Olivia Elswood

Wes Riely & Maya Freeman 

Elizabeth Valentine & Spencer Jolie 

Like There’s No Tomorrow

For some this body swap doesn’t seem like such a curse and they see it as a chance to get out and really experience all that life could offer in ways they couldn’t normally. For others it’s a terrifying prospect when you realize how much damage someone else could do to their name. Maybe it was intentional payback or just someone having fun but what results is a game of cat and mouse as the two try to embarrass the other person while doing their best to save their own name. 

Andy Goode  & Maggie Dailey 

Amalia Summers  & Evan Snow 

Phoebe Marsh & Fredrick Clarke 

Parker Harris & Theodore Carlisle 

Working Hard

Of course it would just so happen that this was the pivotal week in their career when they don’t even get to be the ones doing the job. Instead these townies are forced to trust in someone else to do their job and keep their good reputation. It remains to be seen if the other person is willing to work with them or even work at all. Maybe they can trust the other person or maybe they’ll have to resort to bribery or even blackmail to get the job done. 

Tom Smith & Zoey Spellman

Lucy Locke  & Angelo Fraser

Levi Hart  & Christina Stafford

It seems a bit strange but after working on this novel for so long, the Author doesn’t feel like it’s any closer to being finished than it was when she started. While she adores her characters dearly, it’s the plot itself that has her concerned and she’s started to wonder if maybe she doesn’t need to try something new to shake thing up and get her muse flowing again. Besides, there are so many genres of stories out there, how could she ever commit to just one. However, indecisive as she’s ever been, the Author finds herself stuck between three choices and can’t seem to make up her mind. While she makes up her mind she’s decided to keep a running tally of which she feels are the best options HERE and once she’s made up her mind she’ll test out this genre from Saturday, February 4th to Friday, February 11th.

Below the cut you’ll find more details about the genre changes. Be sure to read them before voting!

Action: Who doesn’t love superheroes? Just like the rest of us, the Author has been in theaters for every new installment of both the Marvel and DC cinematic universes and she thinks she’s ready to try her own hand at bringing some heroes—and villains—of her own to life. With a cast of characters already set to go, all she needs is an irradiated storm or something of the kind to sweep through and then there will be no stopping the action.

Comedy: They say that comedy and tragedy are two sides of the same coin. They also say that you can never know someone until you walk a mile in their shoes. The Author has decided to cram those two clichés together and create and entire story out there, full of comic misunderstandings and mischief. After all, when everyone in town wakes up to find that they’ve switched bodies with another Town resident it’s not as though anything could go right.

Historical: Sometimes the key to progress is looking forward... other times it’s looking back. For the Author maybe it means looking far, far back. Back to a time of valiant knights and glittering castles, a time when life was simpler and perhaps even more exotic. Taking Town back to more medieval times might make it sell better, she’s hoping and add the extra little twist she needs to keep alive her spark.

Remember that subplots are considered mandatory but can be plotted out however you’d like. If you have any questions, stop by this page here for information before sending an ask to the main. I’m more than happy to help brainstorm ideas if you find yourself stuck, however.

Miles getting stuck having to take a child to the mall to see Santa, ends up getting Levi to accompany them to help out.

While out shopping, Wes and Isobel both go for the last of an item on the shelf and end up having to fight over it.

With the roads frozen over, Grier and Phoebe both end up stranded and having to share the only vacant motel room until things thaw out.

Shane and Rachel end up getting caught under the mistletoe.

With the holiday season coming up it becomes the time when we should not only give thanks for the things we have in our lives but do what we can to make sure everyone has something to be thankful for this year. Thus Town’s annual masquerade ball will be held this year on Friday, November 25th so that after taking the day to spend with your family and closest friends, we can take the day after to be appreciative of the wonderful community that has been built in Town. With a buffet, open bar and plenty of fun to be had by all, it’s certain to be a great experience and one that we hope everyone will enjoy! All ticket sale proceeds will go to local charities as well so come have fun and support your community.

The event will run from 6pm EST on Friday until Midnight EST on Sunday on the dash. Most non-event related threads will be paused for the weekend (though exceptions can be made for certain threads if important to plots or so on).

There’s still TWO hours left until our first AU event officially starts but below the cut you’ll find the subplots for the week. Feel free to look them over or discuss them as you’d like.

Watch Out, They Bite

If there’s one thing everyone knows to avoid around vampires, it’s their teeth but not everyone can be this lucky. Instead some people—or creatures—have found themselves at the mercy of these teeth. Whether it’s out of hunger, curiosity, anger or something else, these vampires just can’t help themselves. For reference: Vampires can feed off other vampires but they get no nutrients from it. Vampires cannot stand the taste of werewolf blood. Witch blood is much more powerful than human blood. Faerie blood is incredibly sweet and makes the vampire drunk.

Amandine Devereaux & Levi Hart

Benjamin Brown & Everleigh Smith

Matthias St. John & Sara Monroe

It’s Where My Demons Hide

Werewolves might seem not that threatening normally but when they lose control, they really lose it. This is no exception for the ones in Town who are just waiting for the wrong thing to set them off. Or the wrong person. Turns out that some people in town may just find themselves as those unlucky someones.

Carter Abernathy & Alfie Sutton

Shane Kerman & Seth Elkins

James Elkins & Gabriel Bates

Maya Carson & Wes Riely

I Cast a Spell on You

It’s no secret that witches are magic users and even if they seem mostly human they are not to be taken lightly, something that some people in town are soon to learn. For whatever reason (a spell gone wrong, a curse gone right) some unlucky town residents find themselves on the wrong side of some witchy magic.

Amelia Erikson & Lucy Locke

Myla Winehardt & Sylvia Bauman

George Klepper & Erica Adhikari

Maude Pieters & Amalia Summers

It’s Just a Prank, Bro!

Always the champions of mischief and misdeeds, faeries are just looking for trouble and to make someone’s life just that much more odd. Whether it’s a few helpful little odds and ends or actually making a point to scare the poor people out of their wits, these faeries have picked a target for their prank and aren’t going to stop until they see it come true.

Evan Snow & Elizabeth Valentine

Phoebe Marsh & Erin North

Sayra Bhandari & Zoey Spellman

The Hunter or the Hunted

Of course in a town so crammed full of dangerous beings there is bound to be some serious consequences. There are hunters out there making it their goal to take down certain creatures and there are civilians who have unknowingly found themselves the targets of various people in town. How will this all end? Only time will tell.

Elijah Adhikari & Dominic King

Christina Stafford & Angelo Fraser

Esmeralda Moore & Charlotte Wolfe

Wendall Chaplain & Adriana Venturi

After several days of deliberation it seems that the Author has finally decided on the new genre she’d like to test out for the week of October 1st – October 7th, so get out your fake teeth and magic wands because we’re starting off the month of horror with a little supernatural fun of our own.

In 2015, after years of calls for supernatural rights and a great deal of tension on either side, it was finally decided that a supernatural refuge would be created in order to see if all the species really could co-exist. Now it’s 2016 and all of Town has become a mixed bag of some of the most dangerous creatures in the world. Between vampires roaming the streets at night, long wolfish howls every full moon and overly jumpy hunters ready to question anyone they run across, the vibe in Town isn’t exactly one of peace. That being said, the number of incidents themselves has been low and many people like to believe that it’s working. Who knows, maybe it is, or maybe it’s just the calm before a much greater storm.

In order to participate in the event, please check out THIS list for information on the various species that will be present during the event and send in the basic information to me for your characters. This is both for my information and to help with plotting and all that.

Supernatural: Vampires, werewolves and witches oh my! With the success of everything from Twilight to Warm Bodies to The Vampire Diaries, it’s clear that the supernatural fad is still alive and well and the Author thinks she has a chance to cash in on that. For one week she’ll transform Town into the world’s first supernatural haven filled with vampires, werewolves, witches, faeries and a few humans besides. With tensions high as these species all try to learn to get along and live with each other, mischief and magic are sure to abound.

Action: Who doesn’t love superheroes? Just like the rest of us, the Author has been in theaters for every new installment of both the Marvel and DC cinematic universes and she thinks she’s ready to try her own hand at bringing some heroes—and villains—of her own to life.

While she’s having a blast writing her characters so far, the Author has started to realize that most of them still seem to have things they need to say to people in their lives. Sitting at home--and admittedly watching The Notebook and Dear John a few too many times--an idea suddenly struck her. What did characters do when they had something important to say to someone? Why, write a letter of course! With that she set to work, penning letters with the hope that they’d lead into some greater insight.

For this task, your job is to write a letter from your character. This letter can be addressed to anyone (NPC, Character or even themselves) and be as long or short as you like. Feel free to be as creative as you like though please be sure to place the final result under a readmore for the sake of keeping the dash neat.

Example: X

All tasks are optional but are suggested for character development and for helping the rest of us get a feel for your character. Please tag your letters with wiptasks.

As much as she adores writing, sometimes the Author has found she needs more visual interpretations of her characters in order to get to know them better. Thus she’s decided to spend the time to sit down with her characters and make two of these images for each of her characters. Since she knows that no character is an island, she also wants to make sure to put focus on important parts of their life with their own image.

For our first task, your job is to make two moodboards (or aesthetics if you prefer) for your character. One should simply be a general moodboard to describe your character and get a good feel for their feelings, emotions, actions, etc. The other is a bit more specific, connecting your character with a certain thing (love, work, alcohol, money, etc) or person (NPC or other character) that is important in their lives.

Examples: General (x) Specific (x)

All tasks are optional but are suggested for character development and for helping the rest of us get a feel for your character. Please tag your moodboards with wiptasks.
