A huge thank you to Ember for stepping in and helping with the questions. For those of you that don't know, Ember is acting as GM advisor of sorts because while I've GM'd before, I've never done it here and I wanted someone to bounce things off of if I needed to. =-)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=246429.msg12237465#msg12237465">Quote from: KalebHyde on 13-04-2016, 11:51:32</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Hello everyone!<br/><br/>Please let me know if I should change anything as I have my first post up.  Also I'm open for connections if anyone is interested though I do have a question.  I may just be confusing myself, but is there no history post-curse?  I don't know much about the show so I was wondering if this particular day has just played over and over again with time just starting with Emma's arrival?  This has likely already been answered, but I'm just trying to get it straight in my head as to if any of the characters have had interaction in these current forms in like the previous week or month or, at least, the curse has them believing they have.  Sorry if there is an obvious answer and this is a silly question and I look forward to writing with you all.<br/><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>This is where a basic understanding of the show would be helpful. I do encourage people that aren't familiar with it to at least do some research online.<br/><br/>Essentially these characters have an Enchanted Forest identity (true identity) and a Storybrooke one. Everyone except Emma and Henry of course. Emma was transported to the 'land without magic' (Earth) right before the curse hit so she is outside of it and not affected. Henry was born on earth and is not affected by it.<br/><br/>The curse transported everyone in the Enchanted Forest to Storybrooke. They have new identities, jobs and memories. They are not living the same day over and over, per say....but they are not aging at all so time is standing still. They would have their Storybrooke memories....just not anything else. Nor would they find this odd. That's why I've been warning people to not go too far into detail about 'childhood'....because likely they wouldn't remember anything. The curse was very complete in that way. If you entered the curse at age 30.....and 20 years go by in Storybrooke, you are still 30....and wouldn't remember or care about anything before that age.<br/><br/>Does that help at all?<br/><br/>As far as pre-curse identities, I've provided a place for you guys to document information should you desire. You'll find the link on the first post of the story.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=246429.msg12238285#msg12238285">Quote from: PocketWatch on 13-04-2016, 20:25:14</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Hey Aislinn I have two question that hopefully aren't asked or explained already;<br/><br/>Is it possible to add who is who when it comes to the chars' pre curse identity? (In this thread I mean, I see you did it in the interest check thread)<br/>And is it possible to show in any way, shape or form the rainbow (for lack of a better word) writers that are joining us? <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I've purposely left it off in this thread and will add their identities as they are revealed. I put them on the interest thread because I realize people will want to know what characters are already taken. I don't see it as too much of an inconvenience to jump over to that thread and check them out.<br/><br/>As for the second question, not sure what you mean but if it's what the others are thinking it means then no. Here's my reason....I do not write stories for the sexual element. I don't cater to the sexual element. That doesn't mean that I don't enjoy it....but it's not a priority to me. It will likely never find its way into the main body of the story.  As well, people don't walk around in the world with instructions. You have to converse with someone to find out who they are. I'd rather not just offer up that info about characters to the masses because I think it cheapens the story.<br/><br/>As I've said before, if two or more characters would like to have a separate thread for the sexy-time, I'm absolutely all for that. Just let me know and I will link it to the main story. I'd like to keep a chronological list of links for these types of threads for readers that want to follow along.<br/><br/>I'm not trying to sound like a hard ass on this but I have some very strong feelings on it. I like to see these types of things come out in the writing. If you don't want to do that, I'm sure you can pm a writer and ask for the information OOC. =-)<br/><br/><br/><br/>
