Seeking writers for "Lost in time: a Time Travel Tale"

[ItIsJustMe]

Premise:

• A United Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Seattle goes down. Most of the passengers survive due to the professionalism of the flight crew.
• There is no sign of human activity anywhere in sight, and ultimately it is discovered that they have somehow traveled to the distant past, possibly before the arrival of humans in this region. (The title gives away the time, duh.)
• The survivors must learn to live together if they want to survive, let alone thrive.

Some important notes:

• This story will move at half real time: every two real world days will equal one roleplay day.
• If you can't keep up with a post that advances your character's story every other day, the Host will presume that your character simply did nothing of importance that day. No problem.
• Replies do not have to be 5,000 words! A short little post to tell us all what your character(s) is/are doing is enough.
• I don't like lazy writers: if you aren't going to proofread to make your reply worth reading, don't join.
• I'm sure I will add more here later, and when I do, I will add the word NEW in front of it.

How to join and play:

• Writers can create one or more characters using the CPS (Character Profile Sheet) I will soon post.
• Writers should keep in mind that it is okay to create characters who are flawed, vulnerable, dislikeable, etc. Not every character needs to be a super model or SEAL or ninja warrior.
• Post at least once every other day for each character. A couple of lines are all that's needed, so long as you are moving your character along.
• Please do not post more than twice a day per character. I would prefer that all of your characters are spoken for in the same post, though, exceptions are allowed for those whose characters are interacting with other writers' characters.
• Again, I'm sure I will add more here later with NEW in front of it.

Hi there, I have interest in what this might offer, all depending on one question: will this function as a sandbox with plots primarily driven by players or will there be a central story?

My thought is that I will present the basics of the world and the characters' situation, after which writers will create their own storylines, as you said, "sandbox" like. Of course, all storylines need to fit the narrative presented: the prehistoric world of 10,000 BCE. No one's going to meet aliens or discover a box full of laser rifles or whatever. And I would prefer (but would not demand) that writers at least PM me with a basic direction for their players, so that I will be able to see if writers/characters are going to come into conflict with one another.

I want everyone to feel free to have their characters do what they wish, while also respecting other writers.

Does that help at all?

Thank you, yes this does help. Colour me interested! A great opportunity to explore prehistory through one freaked out modern human being.

Well, if you decide to join, you can Quote my first profile, erase the data specific to my character, and create your own (if you find that the easiest way). Doing it that way makes all of the profiles similar to one another, which means they are easier to search for specifics if/when other writers need them to understand and/or participate with your character. Of course, if you think I left any categories of information out, you are encouraged to included what you want!
