I have no idea. All I know is that I had written up Peter connection last and when I published it you couldn't see it. When I highlighted the area the text showed up so either it was a weird glitch or the text color had been changed. Either way it is fixed. Jake lives in a world where Peter exists.

Don't tell Miso, she doesn't need to know what I write about her using the background color.

Also, Peter likes Jake a lot now. <3 Hmm, childhood memories... the good kind, not the ones of him being tortured in private school somewhere in the middle of London. *Cough*

EDIT: It wouldn't be odd that Peter wouldn't exist to some people. :(

Well, that is Max in a nutshell, although I wouldn't say he was exactly ignorant about the industry part. He's already made the mistake of letting people know he made a mistake.

Also, anyone's thoughts on Teapot's idea of the movie?

Do we want to go there? Is it something we think our characters would like producing? Would it create enough friction and drama that we could work off of to move the plot forward? Will it be something that just stagnates?

Just so we know a solid direction to go, in terms of where we want the RP to go.

I changed it to 'willingly naive' as a quip to his optimism. Yeah, don't think generalizing the optimism to ignorant is right. Peter just doesn't understand the happy-go-luckiness of his attitude.

I'll also add it to the OP under our plot ideas, once I'm done with my new character. :) thanks teapotshark, you're the best <3

I like that plot idea. Who really cares if it's original as long as it's interesting to others? Innovation doesn't exactly mean that it's good.

It's like you guys say, It's not like we're making the movie. That plot would get things going and it can have moments where all the characters can have something to do! I like it :)

But yeah. Model actress extraordinaire.

I'll add more depth to her later.

All done with the relationships!

If anyone has any concerns or questions in regards to his thoughts, then I'll gladly work 'em over and edit 'em, just say so here or PM me. :) If there's anything I need to explain, do the same. I may have been too vague with some or not have said enough. *nods*

It's in the Poem Hider, right under the hider for his actual CS. :o

Leila. Don't ignore Leila. You guys aren't done yet!

And I'll add this in when I get home, but she can be a little morbid. And she really likes weird metaphors.

Since most people here doesn't have a lot of experience working within the movie industry I made a list of some scenes we could have in this role play. I also thought it would be a good idea to let everyone know that if we are going to be going about this role play like a movie there are going to be several time skips. These are easy to plan, but can be difficult when dealing with people having conversations and other people waiting. Something to keep in mind and perhaps talk about later. Since we aren't actually making a movie of course none of these events are must have scenes, but I think they could be perfect opportunities for character interaction on and off the set.

Script Read: This is where the whole cast of the movie and a bunch of bigwigs come together and read the script. This is often done in front of a group of reporters and usually has a party like atmosphere before and after the reading (It is a non-fancy party so actors and the like have been known to show up in jeans and a t-shirt while producers are in suits and the like.)

Trailer Filming / Early Movie Promotion: This after a few months of filming and is often held during a large break in the production. This could be during a location change or during a planned absence of a cast member. This is where cast members will do one on one interviews with people like E News reporters and Inside the Spotlight shows. They are highlighted usually by a public party where the trailer for the movie is shown and then uploaded onto the internet.

The Grind: This is a term used to describe the largest blog of filming. It usually lasts between 7 to 9 months, but with major films it can be up to a year if you include travel and logistics of everything prepped before hand. Here you see the movie basically being completely filmed and the chaos of the industry in full force. The closer to the end the more chaos there is to handle in every department.

Editing & Promotion: After the filming is complete there is plenty to be done in the editing room. A large portion of the crew and cast are done at this point and will go on promotional tours such as late night talk show appearances. There are often special events that take place such as private screenings of finished sections. This is the biggest promotional push for the movie. Get the actors to stay it is their best work and they are really excited to show it to the world.

Opening Night: The true red carpet moment. All the build up leads to this night. Most of the cast and big name members of the crew will attend. I figure most people know what goes on before the movie and during. There is always an after party and these are often hosted by the director as is a custom started in the mid 50's. These parties are usually where tabloids get their 25,000 dollar photo of some actress near a co-starting actor and rumor mills can start. Though with 24/7 paparazzi that moment can happen just about anytime anywhere.


If people have questions feel free to ask. I am going to get started on my first IC post. I figure it will be my character getting the call that his company is going to be contracted to do location for the movie this role play will be doing. Since they wouldn't tell him what the project is completely until later it shouldn't lock any important information.

Only kidding. Anything's cool, even hating him and thinking he's an overrated actor just in it for the moolah. T_T

As for Traveler's post, I think that helps out a butt ton. o_o I'm glad we have people in here who know exactly what it's like to make a movie, big or not. We'll need some actors to churn out. Where are the people who wanna play an actor?! I could make one if we're short, I don't mind that, it just might take a bit. It took the entire day to get an idea for Peter and then the rest of the night to type it up.

I assume most of the RP would take place during 'The Grind', since that's the lengthiest part. I think we could further plan out certain points there, so as not to completely get lost in it and not having anything to contribute to moving that part forward. Kinda like stop points, in which we know where we're heading toward as a group, but can otherwise move the plot forward as we see fit, so we don't limit creativity, but also keep people on track during the RP.

Getting lost in the process is a bad thing. Limiting creativity is also a bad thing. So, yeah, I think certain ideas needs to be put in place in specific areas, in regards to where we want the RP to head toward.

I'm thinking of making an actress (or an actor if that role needs to be filled) as a second character.

Also I approve of the relationships people have put with Amy. I'll follow that example and get some relationships for her as well.
