Ok, first things first, I am looking for three volunteers, hopefully two women and one man. But I would like volunteers that believe in writing, first, sex second. This is not to sex isn't important and I am in a few threads where I am sex first, style second, but this thread is an experiment. Also, it needs to be people who visit regularly(see below).
The Setting: Two couples meet over dinner on a train. If you've never been on a train ride, in the dining car they fill every seat at every table, I've travelled alone on trains and it is an interesting way to meet people. The two couples hit it off and retire to the lounge car to chat.
The characters: ONLY the two couples! No extras. (see below) While theoretically the situation looks like a wife-swapping thread, due to the nature of the experiment, it doesn't have to go that way at all. One possible option is that the four people tell stories to each other. It's all up to the group, I believe in democracy.
The experiment: Here's the crazy stuff. The experiment is about style and characterization. The thread will begin with two posts by each person-To gain a sense of character and style. Hopefully, we can maintain a one post per day schedule, barring emergencies, of course. What happens next is the posters will start to rotate characters, one post each rotation. MaleAuthor1 will suddenly be Male Character2, MaleAuthor2 will be FemaleCharacter1, and so on. I will create an easy to follow schedule. The object will be to try to maintain the original author's style and character, while interacting as that character.
Remember, please don't ask to volunteer if you don't plan to follow through or don't think that this could be fun. As soon as I have four authors ready to go with characters, I'll start a thread.
MaleCharacter1: Lawrence Huntington, 28, comes from money. He feels a sense of superiority to those not as rich, but he tries to mask it. His wife always wanted to take a coast to coast train ride. Lawrence has purchased the largest sleeping berth available on the train. He is average height, in good shape from tennis and racquetball, with sandy blond hair and brown eyes.
