Hi there! I am Zapdos and I’m looking to gauge interest in this idea for an Animal Crossing story idea I have because I want to write more and the story I’m currently running has slowed down. If you aren’t familiar with the series, you play as a person who moves to a town full of animals and you live your life doing things like decorating your house, fishing, bug catching, etc. In the newest game on Switch you move with a group of animals to a deserted island and build a town there. It’s not a series that requires understanding a huge amount of lore, but still has a great amount of room for creative ideas and that appeals to me.
With that said, I wrote a little blurb below to give you an idea of what to expect:
---
In the Animal Crossing universe, Tom Nook has gotten sick and is unable to move any more beings to deserted islands. Fortunately for a small group of people and animals, a copycat innovator named Vince has stepped in to provide this service. For a small fee of 100,000 bells each, he has nice houses on a pleasant island for each person. Everything seems aboveboard - he’ll take everyone to the island first, then get their stuff on the second trip. The houses on the island are in great shape and even had some basic furnishings as well. It looked like everything was going to be good.
But as it turns out, there was more to this place than just ocean views, as was discovered by one resident who dug a hole to plant a tree…and found a fresh dog corpse occupying the spot already.
With no way of contacting the authorities, the villagers now have crucial questions to answer on their own: just what had happened here? Why had nobody heard of this death before now? And what would happen to them?
---
Since this is in the casual section, I’d expect about 2-3 paragraphs at a minimum, but what really matters is that you’re writing good quality posts. I’d rather see a good two paragraph post than a three page essay that nobody can understand (and I speak from experience here; when someone has to ask you what has happened, that isn’t a good sign). Ideally I’d like people able to post 2-3 times a week, but I understand life happens so communication is important.
Do you have questions? Concerns? Comments? Let me know. In any case, I appreciate you taking the time to read this!
