Introduction

As was said before, the purpose of this time-line is to establish a series of events that establish what every character other than the one you are writing for is doing and at what time. All of these stories are interconnected, so some form of official time-line needs to be established in order to determine what is going on around the currently active character.

You will notice the title at the top here is "The timeline tree." It is so titled for a reason. Several of the actions detailed in this timeline are dependent on what is going on in the other stories, so it is very likely a different course of events may need to happen if the currently active character does not perform the initial triggering event.

You may read from Maria Cortez's profile that the means by witch to end the curse is to have an extremely sexually perverse and amoral virgin woman lose her virginity, and by that it means cum needs to be shot from a male penis directly into her vagina. The primary timeline on this tree is going to be geared towards Brittany Lane morally degrading upon coming under the effects of the curse to the point where she fits the criteria to be the sexually amoral virgin that needs to be fucked to end the curse. Alternate timelines are possible of course, as are divergent paths to lead to the same end goal.

Final note, unless an event is going to tie back into and affect another character, do not include it on the timeline. If you are writing for a character that goes out and has sex with some towns-person not related to the story, that event is not significant enough to be included on the timeline

  • How to make entries on the timeline.

This timeline is a work in progress and as such it is still not clear how things should be presented on a divergent time line. I would like to keep things on one page as much as possible, but am quite sure that will not always be possible. Please error on the side of keeping it on one page rather than linking a separate time-line off on another page. If it is later determined the one page format looks too messy, the timelines will be separated into different pages at a certain point.

The one sure rule for now is to link to the event being listed on the timeline if it exists, preferably through the eyes of the person who performs the action. If an event has not yet been written but makes sense for the timeline, it can be listed with a note saying (Not yet written.) There also may be cases where something similar has been written, but not in the manner that is being used for the timeline. In this case, rather than linking the similar event, leave a note saying (Not written for this scenario)

(Events from this point not yet written.)

  • Jack goes down stairs and makes breakfast for everyone, trying mentally to pretend the previous events didn't happen.
