Nemo of Utopia
CHYOA Guru
I just spent the better part of six hours writing this huge rambling first chapter of this story, and I freely admit I think I've bit off more than I can chew.
In basic, we have this guy. Non-specific 21 year old male recent college graduate who had just been given the advance on a three book series.
He buys a house in the south side of the fictitious City of Westhaven Ohio: this huge sprawling farmhouse off of "Milk Street".
As he goes for his morning run the next day he catches his neighbors out at the bus stop with their kids, most of which turn out to be total MILFs or young G-MILFs. One by one they stop by his house that day to give him "Welcoming Gifts" and he discovers that out of 21 houses on his block or the culdisacs off of that part of Milk Street (only 7 of which now remain vacant) there are only 4 other adult men, 2 of which are a gay couple, 1 is married, (but I'm still debating whether or not he and his wife are "swingers",) and the forth is an agoraphobic shut-in who does teleoperational Cyber Security for a living.
This puts into a WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE the spray paint on the street sign at one end of the block: "MILF Street"...
Thing is, I'm pretty sure I've bit off a lot more than I can chew here. I mean, 14 potential partners? Have I gone CRAZY?
Oh and let's not forget the FIVE meta-plots:
1: The protagonist's new house is haunted, but not like a horror movie, the REAL kind of haunted: unexplained cold spots, feelings of being watched, flooring occasionally creaks* for no reason...
*(Not like someone walking down the hall when no one's there, just an isolated creak that you could discount as the house settling, except somehow, in the back of your mind, your instincts tell you that isn't it...)
2: The protagonist's bought a half dozen other properties in the area and is making renovations.
3: The city is being stalked by an incredibly-ethical* Serial-Arsonist known as "Calamity Joe" in the media...
*(Ethical in that when "Calamity Joe" burns down a building it always is one that's:
A: structurally unsound,
B: seen as a nuisance property by the neighborhood, and,
C: completely devoid of human occupants at the time...)
4: The protagonist's writing a Cthulhu Mythos/Japanese Folklore crossover historical-fantasy novel series.
5: The protagonist's new house used to belong to an Investigative Journalist who may/may not have been murdered to cover up a corruption scandal she was digging into for the Associated Press...
As you can see from the pole above, there are a lot of ways you could help with the story: they are listed more or less in order of priorities, first and foremost I need people who will add chapters, and so forth down the list. I am quite willing to do "art trades", though as usual I'm not willing to compromise my principles on what kind of content I'll write... I feel that a story this big will need at least 2 people besides myself assisting to make it viable, so anyone who wants early access to contribute or otherwise assist, just drop me a line here or in a PM: either on the main site or the forums...
Please, for the love of whatever gods you worship: HELP!!!
