"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." - Coco Chanel



January 2015, the end of Male Fashion Week in Paris, and close to the beginning of the Haute Couture week. That is the time and place where our main story is located anyway, and where all our characters happen to be finding themselves together for one reason or another. This is not a story exclusively about fashion however, but about these people who are connected to each other by different threads in their lives. There are people who work in fashion, yes, and the people around them, the ones who work for the dream and the ones the dream works for. It is not about the fashion itself, or working for it, but rather a mirror into the lives of the characters we bring into it. Be a designer or a model, or be a celebrity, an escort, an intern - a cog in the machine, the operator, or the one who gets the end result, they are all important and all fun to play as is the world around them. Our world, if perhaps a little shinier through reflection.

You don't know anything about Fashion? I don't care. Make it work.











"Fashions fade. Style is eternal."  - Yves Saint Laurent




  • The Golden Rule is in effect. Treat everyone as you wish the better version of yourself should be treated. In the spirit of that, what we offer is exactly what we expect from our fellow writers.
  • While there are GMs to maintain a certain pace and standard, we do expect everyone to act as such and feel free to join, initiate, and follow any plot they wish within the given setting and timeframe in order to explore and grow their own characters as well as others.
  • Good communicators who know the difference between themselves and the characters they play and know when to work things out if things start bleeding out in between.
  • A marked interest on character development over textual intercourse.There are many groups dedicated to smut - this is not one of them.
  • An open mind. This group is full of LGBTQA people, but mostly, it is full of writers who have creative, wonderful and diverse points of view, and that is how we like it.
  • A relaxed attitude. We are all adults, and in so have a lot of RL things to deal with. RL comes first, and writing should be fun, not something you have to push yourself to do. Sometimes we can post a lot, sometimes we cannot, it is not considered holding someone back, but rather waiting on a good thing. <3
  • The ability to  maintain the positive atmoshpere and friendship within the group. Some of us are more shy than others and take longer to warm up, that's fine. Some of us don't talk OOC a lot, that's fine too. In the end, if you get through the approval process, it is because we want you there, and this means we believe you can be one of us. We will not hesitate to remove someone who proves incompatible with this.

Due to this milestone, we are always looking for new, dedicated writers to join in on our amazing group! If you have questions or are not certain about something - please do not hesitate to let us know. Either here, or in a PM! :-)

Thank you, all writers, for having made this two awesomely entertaining years thus far!

Nico

Something very important:

Despite the group running for over two years now, joining in is as simple as it gets.

A character couldn't miss anything if they were not there in the first place. It's really not about what a character knows, but what they can bring into the group. This is what counts. Nobody knows everything because a character isn't in all places at all times. That wouldn't make sense, anyways! Besides - what a character knows and where they have been are two different pairs of shoes. Everything can be worked in a background.

People come and go - C'est la vie! Ah, the joy of a fluid setting! :-)

The more the merrier. You are welcome to check the lineup to see what's already in play - we have three fashion designers currently, and a perfumier - and to consider possible background links, because those are the best. :D

Competition... for Il Maestro?

Oh my! ~snickerfits~



No, seriously, as Shades said. The more, the merrier! ;D

How do face claims work?

Also if I do a fashion magazine editor. So many things to think about!

I don't mind making an assistant with an aspiration of becoming a name for herself as a Fashion Designer. I can see if I can't have her working under someone important?

We don't have a face claim process. Again, if the one you want is already in play you should see it on the lineup or we may mention it to you if there was a former character with the same one, but we haven't had duplicates thus far.  Also, if there is someone you Really Want and is already in play, ask! Their players might be totally okay having a twin, a  family member or a weird doppleganger around :P

The sky is the limit, you can make all of them if you can keep up :D. Links to active characters are strongly encouraged, and we usually try to offer more ideas when we know what a character is about and where they could intersect with the others in places that are less obvious.  Any of the GMs will gladly offer connections -- and really, we are a great team,so I can confidently say every one else would too.

Sounds perfect! I'll read through the line up again and the rules.

Then!

I'll put this brain baby in the oven and see what I come up with.

Look forward to writing with the FAmily!

I am quite interested in playing an "up-and-coming" model in this game.  I'm new here so please excuse me if it takes me some time to find the IC thread.haha

Hello! :-)

Sounds good! There's some other model characters in game already, so I'd say have a look over the Lineup so you know what is already there. Being unique is half the rent, after all. ;)

Being new is not a problem at all. There's some threads in the first post of this thread - we really suggest you take the time and read over them. They will give you a nice impression on what we are all about and likely answer many questions. We are always there if you need anything, though! :-)

Hi there all!  I have a pic for my character but how would y'all feel about an aspiring website designer who likes to take pictures from time to time?
Can you capture this fiery Angel and make her yours?!  Try before she slips away into the night... If you wish.

Hello! :-)

That sounds interesting! We don't have such a character concept, yet and new things always enrich a setting! :-)

Angel Fire

Sweet!  I am sure that people would like their name and brand spread around and websites are the way to go!

I'll be in touch with y'all when I am done making her. *Smiles*

I have no doubt about that! :-)

I know that one of my characters, a fashion designer, certainly would make use of that, probably my model as well and I'm certain that there are other characters who'd know your character. We have an Internet celebrity as well. Go figure! ;D

Just take your time and get in touch if you need assistance! :-)

Angel Fire

Thankies for letting me take my time with creating her.  My muse usually comes out on the weekends or in my early mornings (If you need to know what time my early mornings are, just ask.  A small hint, the only people that are later than me is people in Alaska, Hawaii and any other Pacific islands before the International Date Line) but I can bring out bits and pieces of her during the week if y'all like.  Please let me know!

There is absolutely no rush. :-)

Good things take time, we all know that. ;) Muses are fickle, weird things at times but that's perfectly alright. You just take your time. Needless to say, if you want to discuss details and whatnot, you're more than welcome to PM people!

Angel Fire

All righty!  I have PM'ed my new character sheet to y'all.  I hope that she can be welcomed with open arms *Smiles*

Sure thing!  Y'all have waited for me so I can wait for y'all.

.. because we steadily welcome good, articulate and levelheaded writers who enjoy a modern/contemporary setting that allows for a multitude of character concepts and favour character development and plots over (as another GM has formulated it so aptly) textual intercourse.

Please, make sure to browse through the information and links provided in the first post of this thread and in case questions arise - do not be shy to ask them!
