Official Disclaimers and Updates

[❀ Melíssa]

The official stance here is that my days are done.

Unofficially, I still post at the house here from time to time, as I play out ideas for the Popmundo family upon which this family is based.

The majority of my free time now is spent writing social commentary articles for Ambrosia (I post under the name Melissa Limasse), and working with Frank's band.

So, that being said, if you're someone who I've been looking to RP with for awhile, and you don't mind the story taking some time to develop while you wait for me to reply, I'd love to still RP with you, but for the most part, I'm going to remain a casual observer.

So when I first joined here, I mentioned that these were my Popmundo characters, and that I was portraying them here as much older than they were in game. For instance, Oliver was 25 in game already, Nati was 9, Chelsea 8, Nate 8, Troy 3, Parker was just born, much different than that 26, 19, 18, 16, 16, and 13 as portrayed here.

As the game moves much faster than real life (one year in game is about two months IRL) I ended up with another child in game and the kids are all aging, three of which are close to the ages here:
Nati 16, Chelsea 15, Nate 15, Troy 9, Parker 6, and Madalynne just turned 3. Oliver is deceased, along with Richard (Oliver was actually controlled by the same person controlling Richard, and as the puppetmaster didn't log in for some time, they died from user inactivity).


What this means, above all, is that all the tiny ideas, all the 'planned ahead' things are now ideas I can actually use in game, and most likely won't take the time to transfer them to a narrative format for here. But you never know. The other major difference is that some of the current in-game storylines won't work here (for instance, Chelsea is feuding with Jessenia because she doesn't want her to get remarried, it's only been two years since Richard died, or Madalynne growing up with a dark cloud over her head, since she and Oliver have the same birthday in game, and Oliver and Richard died just before her first birthday).

The Natalia-Tony stories in-game are now coming close to where things stand here, so those may be things I will continue to write about, just to help me build the storyline onto itself. Will probably start a Chelsea-Axel series, as I mentioned them in the last N-T story.

My focus is likely to remain on Nati and Chelsea for some time as they are slowly becoming my flagship characters in the game. Jessenia is about to turn 40, and as I'm about to start Nati and Chelsea's band, it seems a good time for Jessenia's to start looking at retirement. As I fizzle her character out, I'm moving mostly with the next two.

Great news! Well, great-ish. There are a million little side-stories and 'alternate endings' that I would love to see happen in the wonderful world of Popmundo, but there just isn't enough time to examine them all, what with how quickly that game moves.

Guess what that means?

First off, it means I will be compelled to create two new graphics before I do any writing, because I've decided that I like labeling the storylines with them.

And now that the actual game has caught up to some of my ideas here, I may go back and revamp some of the existing posts, although I'm sure you don't care about that.

That's all for now.
