One Direction Group-Write

@ big bad wolf.

A little over PM. But nothing definitive.
I think she told Bex something about being out of town for Rosh Hashanah? I'm hoping to get her profile soon so we can get things going.

@ antidote.
@ big bad wolf.

I got the story page up once we get Ashley's character bio, I'll add her.

If you guys want the layout changed, let me know

@ Anchor and Hope.
I like it. The layout is real pretty. I love the photo of the boys you picked and the red background swirly thing.

Can you do me a favor and change the link for Alice's dad to this one: http://img.moviepilot.com/assets/tarantulaV2/people_images/1370879572_Marton-Csokas.jpg ? I sent the wrong one.

And I want to change Griffin's fc. Any suggestions?

@ Anchor and Hope.
@ big bad wolf.
Love the layout the picture is perfect!

By the way, I'm working on how I want both my girls to go with the guys. Like I'll probably keep Harry and Pips relationship very sex orientated but this time I want less hate. I'm thinking it's going to be a cute flirty relationship with lots of sex but neither believe that love will come from it (both skeptical when it comes to love anyway)

I'm still working out details though!

Okay girls, I have an idea for my character Pips that could add some drama, but I want to run it by you lot first.

I was thinking that Cassie isn't really Pips younger sister, but her daughter. Pips stupidly got pregnant at sixteen, but nobody knew about it, like her mum took her out of her last year at school and when Cassie was born, they told everyone it was Pips mum who had her. Nobody knew of Pips pregnancy. Pips dad couldn't take the stress and being a heavy alcohol, finally never returned after one of his drunken disappearing acts. So behind closed doors, pips was bringing up a child, but the world knew her as her sister.

Her grandparents will know, but help keep her secret, knowing the show may not want her on as a bad role model for teen pregnancy.

I'm thinking half way through, the papers somehow get the truth from an anonymous source (her father who just wanted money from it) and it all comes out. By this point, I think Harry and Pips are beginning to fall for each other, but Harry pulls back because it's all too much at the time. He isn't sure he could bring up a child. It may also cause the birth father to come forward and all these stories start making the magazines.

---

I will have to shuffle around Cassie's age and make her like just turned 4.
Let me know what you lot think because Its just an idea at the moment

@ antidote.

<- my exact reaction when I read that idea.

I LOVE it! Between Delia and Pippa were going to have a mess (because Delia is going to have her old engagement ring in her purse)

I do love it though. A failed wedding a secret baby.

I've been playing with the idea of Delia and Carter? Like maybe she never showed up to the church the day of the wedding? I can just see Carter standing at the altar.

@ Anchor and Hope.
@ antidote.
I love the ideas. They're all so dramatic. I love me some drama.

God, both of your characters are breaking my heart. Leaving Carter at the altar! Pips being Cassie's real mom! Such great ideas! (Plus I bet the tv show would get a huge kick out of all of this!)

I was also thinking about my characters relationship. I want Alice to be a little more laid back than Wendy was but still kinda annoyed by Louis's constant flirting. I want Alice to be a little uptight and prudish but not on the extreme her previous counter part was. You know what I mean? It's like Wendy notched down a few but with a lot more serious trust issues.

I also had an idea on the television show title. It should be a pun of their band name. Like One Direction to Their Hearts or One Love.

@ big bad wolf. @ antidote.

I PICKED OUT HER ENGAGEMENT RING FROM CARTER.
BAM!
GRAB YOUR TISSUES, LADIES.

I just got the most intense idea- so obviously Niall is going to propose. WHAT IF THE PRODUCERS REACH OUT TO CARTER, AND HE DECIDES HE WANTS TO PROPOSE? It'll be like warrior ninja, diamond ring edition?! Like dualing proposals!

I mean, it's just an idea for now. But how intense would that be?

---

I love that! If Alice was very "type A" and Lou is very "type B"? She's not pretentious or anything? Just maybe...unexperienced? And she doesn't have much of a tolerance for bullshit (which, I'm assuming is thanks to her sister?)

In other news- Delia & Niall are very much going to have that same relationship- tweaked a little, obviously. Except, I think maybe it's going to be more so on Delia's end this time because, lets face it, Niall has that "womanizer" reputation now? Whereas she is going to be very cautious. She's been serious and she's been let down? But it's going to be that same "everyone can obviously see they're meant for each other" type deal? They;re very much going to be the cliche in all this.

By the way? I wanted to talk something over with you guys.

Would anyone be willing to arrange a location? I was thinking this over and it may be weird if we have a reality show and three girls come from London (three randomly selected, girls )? If not I'm totally okay with that. We'll just have to make sure Ashley's girl isn't from London.

@ Anchor and Hope.
Don't worry, Pips isn't from London and I think I wrote that Caide is from Manchester? I can double check, but yeah I plan on having her coming from northern England. I'm thinking I might have Pips originally from London, but when her mum died, Pips and Cassie moved to Ireland to live with their grandparent's. So don't worry about them all being from London.

As for the location, now if not all the girls are from there, then we can have it in London? But I'm not too fussed where you want it to happen.

THE RING
Seriously having heart palpitations. Battle of the rings

Oh and as for the months in which the show runs for, I know we said 6, but when did you want it to start and finish? We could end it just before Christmas, so July to December, or did you want it over Christmas or way before?

---

So I've also been working on the ins and outs of Pips and Harry, and a time scale for me to refer back to. I will be doing the same for Caide to help keep me on track and all my information correct. I'll probably come back and add when I come up with different things.







Pips birthday-7th April 1994
Cassie's birthday- 20th October 2010



Hudson will be a new character I will add to the secondary characters, along with Carl, Pips father. Hudson will be Cassie's birth father. I'll post the face claims when I find them!

@ Anchor and Hope.
@ antidote.

If you want, I can change Alice's current residence to France so not all the girls come from London. I mean, her parents could still live in London with a house in France. She could be living there with Griffin studying? That way we have a bit of difference.

Jesus, what I would give for a ring like that! If that's Carter's ring, I wonder how beautiful Niall's will be.

You know what would be really dramatic, if you had Delia accept Carter's proposal and the day of the wedding, she realizes she loves Niall more, has a talk with Carter, and runs to Niall! My God, that would be something.

God, Pip and Harry are going to be so precious. Like friends with benefits. I like it!

@ Anchor and Hope.
btw I updated some stuff in my character info, like her where she lives and some url's I'd messed up. Just copy and paste the whole thing again.

@ antidote.
@ big bad wolf.

My cousin Lucy just got engaged, and her fiance Kyle actually got her that ring. I fell in love!

I think having Pips from England is great- mostly because I can totally see Harry with a very stereotypical English girl, and having that Ireland connection gives her a bit of a...temper?

I'll re-post it, Emma. That sounds great! It could add a little drama to the Alice story-line too! Does Griffin like her?

I think having the main location as London a good idea. It'll serve kind of as a home base.

---

I was thinking about the show (and your title idea Emma! I love it!) what do you think about One Shot at Love? I keep thinking about a tag line along the lines of The Worlds Most Eligible Boy Band.

I was thinking, instead of gearing it like the bachelor- do we want to do more of a "documentary stye"? Kind of like how This Is Us was filmed? Just kind of...following them on their "journey" of falling in love. Because what if it's more of a ploy then the boys realize?

We could run the show from October to April? It'll run over the biggest parts of the album release since "Four" is set to release...November 17th?

@ Anchor and Hope.
What I was thinking with Griffin was that he likes her (or loves her) but she 1)thinks of him as a sibling and 2) believes he might be gay. It sort if adds a bit of humor on that front. But I want the main conflict to be with her sister.

Obviously Louis will have to meet her family and I was thinking the show runners invited her sister to the meeting. I think this will be after Alice and Louis have admitted their feelings for eachother. What I want is for Louis to meet the sister, like her and afterwards tell Alice that she should get to know her sister and give her another chance. Alice will get defensive and cause a huge thing.

I think I want Marguerite to be engaged and I want her to ask Alice to be her maid of honor. Louis will continue to push his thoughts about her sister.

---

I like the title. And I think that the that dates are perfect. I like the documentary style for the tv show with a tad hint of the bachelor. It doesn't have to end in marriage for all of them.

Are we gonna add our secondary characters to the character list? I think we should so the readers have an idea what they look like.

@ Anchor and Hope.
Yeah, as her grandparents will be Irish, she has that within her and so gives her that quick temper. I'm thinking, even though she and Harry get along well, they're a bickering pair. Like they'll find the smallest things to bicker about but then laugh about it after.

I've gotten the face claims for Hudson and Carl, because later on they will make an appearance.

Hudson Parke :: Cassie's father :: 22 years old
Carl Watson :: Pips alcoholic father :: 42 years old

I wanted her fathers picture to look older than his age because of the alcohol abuse would of aged him.
I also imagine Cassie having these big blue eyes and instantly I thought of Nash Grier's eyes- so I had to have his face for Hudson.

Oh and I might change it so that Hudson doesn't sell her out, instead he wants to have a chance with Pips and give their little family a chance. This will intimidate Harry who thinks Pips will want that, as she lacked the normal family growing up. It'll be her father who sells the stories, wanting the money to fund his alcoholic ways.

---

That time frame is good with me!

I think a documentary style would work better actually!
So would they film the show from October to April, but it won't air till after filming is completely done with? Or will they air it as they go?

@ big bad wolf.

I love it! It would be hysterical if the girls were the ones to point it out to Alice? "He totally loves you!" and Alice is just flabbergasted? "What?! No! He's gay!"

I like the idea of Lou being the one to push her sister on her? I can see it creating a real rift between them -especially after just admitting they have feelings!

@ antidote.

Oh my god, her dad is perfect!

I love the idea of her dad selling her out vs. Hudson. I think the little family will add that perfect drop of drama!

I was thinking maybe there was just a small time lapse? Maybe 3-4 weeks? That way they could film, edit and get it straight to television? That way they don't have too much time to spin it and make it purely positive? (does that make any sense?) They can't just use it as a purely positive PR tool? It'll kind of show they're people too?

@ Anchor and Hope.
Yea that's the plan. But I want it to end well. I think my last chapter or at least the epilogue for Alice will either be Alice helping out her sister's wedding or Alice at her sister's wedding with Louis there supporting her. I'm really excited for this. I gotta make the sister's fiancé. (One of the factors that make Alice reconsider giving her sister another chance is that she finds out her sister's pregnant. That's when she decides Louis right and she should give her sister the chance to redeem herself.)

and yes! that would be hilarious. I could see the whole thing now. When she realizes they're right, and things with Griffin get really awkward. She starts wearing more around him so she doesn't lead him on.

"Are you sure you want to go out with that sweater?"
"What? Yes, of course. Why do you ask?"
"Oh you know, cause there's a heat wave outside!"
"Well, I always like to be prepared!"

@ Anchor and Hope.
So filming will start and will air 3-4 weeks later. They'll be like filming as the old stuff is being aired? I'm guessing that's what you mean with the time lapse- or did you mean after everything's finished, they will wait 3-4 weeks to air it? Sorry I can be very slow sometimes

Oh by the way, I spoke to Ash and she said she'll be posting everything Tuesday as she is now back from where she had travelled too!

@ antidote.
I love Cassie's dad's FC. Nash is so adorable. I think it fits perfectly as does her dad. And the part of the Hudson wanting to be a family with them. What a conflict! It's great.

I had a bit of an idea. I know in Matched we made are characters really detest each other, but I was thinking that maybe in this one they should kinda bond since they both share alcoholic relatives. I mean, I don't think Alice will share this with all the girl right off the bat but eventually reveal it to them and then they'll have common ground.

On another note, I changed Griffin's faceclaim to Nico Tortorella cause I thought the other guy looked a little old. This guy fits my image for Griffin better. It's on the main Alice post.
