Chris2c4u and I have come up with a roleplay idea that is a little different from the norm. It's about lives and life stories. (I'll get to the different part soonish.)
Have you ever seen a name in a phonebook and wondered who that person is? Or seen a sign over a store and wonder what they sell? Have you driven through a town and wondered about the people sitting on the front porch of their clapboard house? And remember that cornfield you saw once when you were travelling on Greyhound on your way to a family reunion -- who owned it and what were they like?
Have you ever wanted to walk the mean streets of the city? Tell us the story. Want to feel the warm winds of the west blow through your hair as you ride on horseback? Tell us the story. See that couple over there? The ones sitting on the park bench? Tell us their story.
Here's our idea... Pick a partner. Pick a place in America. Pick a time. Tell a story about a person, a family, a business. Tell us a life story -- one at a time -- each told by a different pair of writers.
Sounds easy? What if it has to be told in a specific number of posts? Four posts total. Can you still do it? How about in eight days? We think you can.
If you're curious or just have some questions, please don't hesitate to stop and post. This thread is for brainstorming the train of thought that we think can lead to something bigger and hopefully very exciting.
