OOC: Summertime Sublet

[st_fornicate]

This thread is for myself, Sexy_Curves, and ilikeitlikethat to discuss a thread idea.


The basic premise is that three college students who (may or may not) know each other all wind up having to stay in their college town for the summer (for any number of reasons) instead of going back home. It's kind of a last minute decision for all of them, and they all wind up renting rooms in the same house for the summer. The house itself is in pretty poor shape, like most student housing.

The thread will follow the three of them thru summer and possibly beyond, depending on how it all works out.

I really like this idea...I think if we play it right with a lot of planning out and not rush into anything... I like the whole realistic aspect of it!

Not sure how we'll work dialogue into it, but we'll see. Any ideas for characters that you think would be good twists? College ages-yes? All of them?

I'm thinking they don't know each other or maybe have heard of each other but never hung out? I think it makes it more interesting being strangers.

What kind of twists are you thinking with? Anything really wild or is were you thinking it'd be more of a quiet thread? (Just thinking out loud here ha ha )

 

[st_fornicate]

Well, I would love it if we could develop some interesting, non-stereotype characters to work with. I think I've played out my regular druggie rocker guy and need to do something different.

Maybe a nerd? Or an athlete? Or an athlete who's secretly a big nerd?

Not too sure. Everything is totally open for discussion here.

And you know me, the more wildness and drama the better! I was thinking one thing could be they all wind up fucking each other, but are trying to keep it secret from each other. Not sure how long that can last though.

 

[ilikeitlikethat18]

I think the keeping it secret thing is very cliche (no offense) and personally I don't think in that scenerio it would end up anywhere pleasant or be able to be a long-lasting thing at all.

I agree about the characters. I want to break out of the mold at least a little bit, so many of the stories on this site (not yours, just generally) are soooooooo typical and it's boring.

An athlete nerd would be hot! Something you haven't done before would be fun. ;0

 

[st_fornicate]

Haha ok athlete nerd it is for me.

And yeah, the secrets thing probably won't work very well.

So, we need to come up with a couple girls to put with this guy that'll make things really interesting

 

[ilikeitlikethat18]

I was thinking my character would be some kind of smart chick with either a bad past or a secret life type thing. i.e.
She's an English major or graphic design major...something that would keep her very busy and seemingly only a student (no time for anything else) but on the side she's an escort or sells pills, nothing too crazy- but something unexpected and definitely blackmail material. I've kind of always played a good girl (cuz I am, really.) and I don't HAVE to play a bad girl, but I think it'd be fun to mix it up. Just ideas!

 

[sexy_curves]

I'm open to suggestions on my character, and I'm digging that we're all trying something new for this thread.

 

[st_fornicate]

How about a really conservative Christian goody-two-shoes, Sexy?

 

[sexy_curves]

I could probably work that. I'm imagining shed be a virgin at the start of summer, and her first time wouldn't exactly be consensual then.

 

[ilikeitlikethat18]

What do you ya think of my character?

Think it'd be good to try something new, but dunno about going waaay off track

 

[st_fornicate]

Hmm hmm hmm. Here's my thoughts on all that.

@Sexy: you know i can't resist an nonconsensual virginity loss!

@ilikeit: selling pills would be better than whoring.

You girls know my gritty style too well I think. I had actually been thinking we would write something more playful and silly, goofy maybe, but we can definitely take this in a much darker, twisted direction.

I could see Ilikeit's junkie getting Sexy's naive girl hooked on pills and Sexy losing her virginity in a haze at some party. Not exactly consensual... But not exactly rape either. Maybe ilikeit uses the same strategy of getting sexy all pilled out to get her into some lesbian situations.

Now just to figure out where my nerd fits into all this.

 

[sexy_curves]

I'd be up for something lighter, but I'm not sure how if we're playing different characters than usual, that would happen well.

 

[st_fornicate]

I'm not sure either Sexy. I was never any good at writing comedy. Dark, gritty, realistic, honest, that was always my style.

 

[sexy_curves]

That's the way I feel too, so maybe new characters is change enough?

 

[st_fornicate]

Works for me. It's probably gonna be the worst summer ever for our characters. You know, except for all the amazing sex they'll have.

 

[ilikeitlikethat18]

Lol...glad to see you've got it all worked out.

 

[st_fornicate]

Ilikeit we'd love to get your input too!

At the moment it kind of looks like your character is going to be the "enabler". Do i need to change my nerd around to get him more into that role?

 

[ilikeitlikethat18]

No I think your role is good and the idea about sexy currves losing her virginity at a party or in lesbian action could be hot!!

But honestly the idea of a more light thread this time around is more appealing

 

[ilikeitlikethat18]

Also uh....real names?:x

 

[sexy_curves]

That's what I was thinking, about a lighter tone, but i'm at a loss for how to get it work out for us.

I'm up for different names if that works for anyone, but I'll do whatever.

 

[ilikeitlikethat18]

Sorry to be confusing...he used my real name to address me and I'd rather we don't do that especially in an ooc thread.

As for the theme of the thread...I think we could manage. Playing a diff character is the whole point to change things up

 

[sexy_curves]

Gotcha

 

[st_fornicate]

Okay, so we are going for something light in tone, then? If so, maybe we should leave excessive drugs and whoring out of it, just stick to booze n weed.

So what about all of this is gonna make it light-hearted? Playing jokes on each other? Maybe going around and around with the desire: st_fornicate wants ilikeit, but ilikeit wants sexy, but sexy wants st_fornicate? How much mileage can we get out of that?

Or maybe more of a episodic type of thing, where every ten posts or however many posts makes up an episode, like a sitcom or whatever. That could make for an interesting challenge all around.

And let's go ahead and name our characters. My guy's gonna be called "Jack"

 

[ilikeitlikethat18]

Thanks for editing, st_fornicate.

I don't think it has to stay in the "light" zone the entire thread, but I just thought it'd be fun for all of us to experience something like that- since you suggested it. Especially for what your guys' threads have coming, what your and my threads have coming and the tone that Andrea and my threads are gonna have coming XD (repetitive, sorry.)

I think it shouldn't be super focused on trying to intimidate and corrupt each other. They're 3 strangers living togehter, it should probably be jokes, light-hearted, hanging out...getting to know each other and start to develop an attraction at first, at least. Maybe they use certain things to try to get what they want later on (drugs, etc.)

I like the whole idea of st_fornicate wants ilikeit, but ilikeit wants sexy, but sexy wants st_fornicate...type of thing... it wouldn't fill the whole thread but its definitely a good idea. The episodes could be an interesting idea, too. I think trying not to focus on corruption and all that will make it light in itself.

My character's name is Ella.

 

[sexy_curves]

Maybe rather than necessarily episodes, we could have it like day by day through the summer, something like a three person journal type thing?

just an idea

I also like the love triangle thing
