Good morning Upper East Siders
We all know you've been up to all kinds of debauchery over the summer. What secrets will unfold throughout the school year between the ladies of Constance and the gentlemen at St. Jude's? That much is uncertain. One thing you can rely on, you'll be hearing all the details from me.
Who am I? That's one secret I'll never tell.
You know you love me
XOXO,
Gossip Girl
Storybooks Information, Rules, etc.
The main premise of this storybook is based off Gossip Girl, the hit show on the CW. I am answering this question here, so don't ask in the DT. YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE ANY PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OR TO HAVE WATCHED THE SHOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS STORYBOOK. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW WILL BE EXPLAINED BELOW.
The setting is the most wealthy borough of New York (Upper East Side). Gossip Girl is a blogger who always has the inside scoop on the scandals the teenagers in the Upper East Side are always getting themselves into. She could be one of you, or not. Your characters won't know who she is, however, if you are interested in your character being gossip girl, PM me and we will talk. Gossip Girl blasts will be done by me and will look just like the beginning of this post. They will be posted periodically throughout the storybook and will reveal your character's secrets to the whole world. I will obviously ask you before I scream your charrie's secrets to the world, and any final GG post will be approved by whoever is selected to be Gossip Girl. Gossip Girl posts are fueled by tips. A great way to create scandal is to send in a tip on someone. This could be anything from a nugget of information to an incriminating photo. Betrayal is a large part of this SB.
This is like any other high school storybook. There will be relationship crap and drama, but it is different because of the omniscient Gossip Girl and the fact that everyone in this storybook will be extremely wealthy, making the range of scandal even greater. The parents of characters in this storybook will be CEOs of fortune 500 companies, mob bosses, socialites, political lobbyists, essentially the people who rule the world with money. Their children, (a.k.a. your characters) are beautifully neglected and unsupervised. In the original show there is one poor-ish character. His name is Dan Humphrey, he comes from Brooklyn and makes the commute every morning to St. Judes. I'm okay with there being one character like that, but you must make this character dynamic. The goal for this SB is for everyone to have a dark side, whether the dark side is something that evolves later or is already there now.
The two sibling schools are Constance Billard School for Girls and St. Jude's School for Boys. The two separate names are simply for tradition's sake. The classes themselves are separated by guys and girls but the building is the same, so you would run into the opposite gender in the hallway. If you decide to have a transgender character or any other kind of gender identity, message me and we'll talk. No discrimination here
This storybook seems complicated, but I promise, if you love high school storybooks, you will like this. Just bear with me and join if this interests you, the mechanics and kinks will be worked out as we go.
Rules:
1. You are allowed to use the personalities of characters from the original show, but not actual names or photos. For example, you cannot name your character Serena or Blair, and you cannot use a photo of Blake Lively for your charries.
2. Make your characters dynamic. They should change over time like real characters, and should have complex personalities.
3. No God-modding. If you decide to expose somebody's secrets etc. you must ask them first.
4. You have to read everybody's posts, whether you are tagged or not. This will be a complex storybook with complex plots and when GossipGirl does her blasts, it could be about many different characters. So just stay informed on everything that's going on and be open to interaction with new characters.
5. You should have a unique character different from everybody else. We can't all be the queen bee or the outcast, so think outside the box!
6. Have fun, get creative.
