Ooc:  You can play as many as you can handle.  Write in NPCs if you want to, or make up locations.  The Rose Cottage itself is mine though.  I waited on the "ghost story" because I wanted it to fit in naturally.  Maybe that was a mistake.  I am off on Thursday and I will post it, even if I have to God mode a bit.  It would be nice if this did not die.  I like my characters and they symbolize the male and female sides of my personality, as does my avatar of "Jackie" and "Siobhan".
