a Game of Life

Hello all!

Tally here checking up if anyone is interested in partnering with me for an idea I have.

Lately I've been involved in a lot of real-life sort of roleplays or books and despite my love for fantasy and fiction writing topics, I'm feeling the need to write something about life. I don't mean some boring biography about nothing in particular.

I'm taking about the Game of Life.

You know that board game everyone used to own? You go to school, major in college, get a job, get married, buy a house, have children, grow old, and then win the game, right? That board game makes life seem like a walk in the park even though life is anything but. Everyone in this world will suffer and go through some sort of pain. Everyone has their low and high moments. Yet I feel as though recent roleplays and stories I've been involved in seem very one dimensional. Some characters are always depressed. Some characters are always happy. Life isn't like that.

Which is why I'm interested in writing a story about life.

Specifically, about the struggles that come along in life, such as love, death, pain, betrayal, and growth, both in age and character. I'm interested in collaborating with someone to write about two teenagers, high-schoolers to be exact, and their struggles in life. So far I can't say that I have much of a story plot to work with, but I have some ideas and I'm willing to work with your ideas and contributions as well: I am sincerely interested in the ideas you have to offer. If you are still interested, the section below has the details that may or may not play a part in the story-line.

---

Setting: I don't really care where this takes place, though I want it to be in present day. As writers, this is the time period we are most familiar and is more likely to give us a broader spectrum of writing tools. The high-school will be a private school so uniforms will be worn, but otherwise I have no other expectations to a specific setting.

----

Characters: I have several different ideas for our couple, though I promise these aren't the only ideas I'm limited to.

• poor student matched with rich student
• rouge student matched with popular student
• "pure" student matched with "dirty" student
• class president matched with delinquent
• delinquent matched with their victim
• abusee matched with delinquent

*I know its stereotypical, but I'm a lover of stories where the guy is the tougher character than the girl*

*Also, this is going to be a heterosexual based roleplay. I have nothing against homosexual relationships, but in this roleplay, the two main characters will be straight. Side characters and friends can be homosexual, but the mains are restricted to heterosexuality.*

----

Plot: Aforementioned, I don't really have much of a plot developed since I'm not sure what the characters are yet, but I do know a couple of things will be present in the story. Obviously, romance will be occurring between the characters, but with that comes jealousy and even bullying at times. There's also going to be family problems, teacher problems, and student problems that will make life for the characters difficult. Rumors can be a big part of this too because they always seem to screw up relationships.

----

Roleplayer Wanted: To be completely clear, I am looking for someone who will write for a male character. I don't care if the writer is female or male, I just want a male character as I will be playing the female. The roleplayer should be comfortable with romance and mature themes such as sex, abuse, rape, and so on. This is a story of life, after all. By no means does this mean I am asking for someone to cyber. I myself am not offended by writing minorly sexual scenes, but this story isn't going to be a porno. The roleplayer should be literate and should have good grammar and spelling skills; being able to help add to the plot is another feature I'll be looking for. I'm not asking for you to write a novel, but posts should be lengthy if possible.

----

Writing: I'm all up for writing in the roleplay tab, but I'm also open to PM and IM. I'm less inclined to write via IM because it's hard to coordinate time, though if push comes to shove, I'm up for it. I like PM a lot more for 1x1 roleplays because you are informed whenever you get a reply.
