Family Matters, the DT

I'm kind of amused by the use of "you" and "your" instead of "Henry" and "Henry's" xD

Myra being jealous and bitter sounds fun, and Henry wouldn't really (consciously) bother to make their relationship any better, but he'd drop a drawing or story by her door from time to time, since he kind of really, really needs a new Tricia.

@Alvarin A talk about books sounds good. I think Lucy would be really nervous around him. Although she's always read, she's never thought the characters were real. Maybe he would find her odd for talking about a fairy character as if the author had created it.

Also, when do we start?

He'd find it odd, yes, but he wouldn't show it since he knows most other people don't think they're real

And I think Aria will post this weekend, if she has time.

*is excited!*

I have submitted a character profile. Hail Freedonia.

I'm thinking Tory will be eventually diagnosed with bipoler disorder. Anyhow, anyone want to be Tory's new BFF and get her diagnosed with the above?

See if there's still a friend slot open when we start, can I add an NPC profile for Oliver (Lucy's friend)?

Also, why does swearing have to be censored in a 16+?

@BiscuitsBatchAvoy It is generally asked that curse words be censored in Storybooks because these posts are shown on the front page, which is public and the curse words might be seen by someone who didn't care for it, 'tis the same in all of the forums at YWS.

The exception is Literary Works, because they have a maturity rating and the works themselves don't show up on the front page (only the title and a description do) so the average member will know what they're getting into when they click on the Literary Work.

Sorry for the long explanation, I had originally come to say that Lyle Collins has been submitted and is waiting for approval ^^

Sure. You can have Oliver as a proper character too if you wish/feel like you can handle two. (that goes for everyone, but don't make more than one additional char and only if you really need one)

Edit - Bla bla bla Omni covered it while I was snailing my way through typing this post

@Omniclysm I like the idea that Myra and Lyle would have been close when she was younger, but that things wouldn't have been the same since Tricia's death.

Speaking of friends, Erin will probably be floating around the house occasionally (although she would probably want to go out to hang out with her, not stick around the house), I haven't decided what sort of role she's going to have in the story yet. I'm imagining she's more popular at her school (different from Myra's) and into the party/drug/alcohol scene, which would make at least Marty disapprove of her and mess up Myra's emotional state even more.

Since the cast is going to be 11+, I made a cheat sheet where we can track character traits, interactions, and other things. It may seem pointless, but trust me--it saves you tons of trips to character profiles.

I finally actually did my profile xP After a couple days of procrastination

Collins Family! I was wondering if you all wanted to create a CT for the deceased daughter, to make her more concrete. Link!

Heyy, thanks to Omni ^ there I'm joining! x)

I'd like to reserve the mother Frey! (I'll get my profile in asap)
