Blood IS Thicker than Water

Hey, you two. Thanks so much for helping me out with this co-write. This is going to be fun to write with both of ya'll.

Okay, now to get down to business. What I was thinking is that we start off during the funeral perhaps. They haven't been seeing much of each other due to where their lives have taken them, but things are about to change now, seeing as the oldest brother gets custody of the other two.

@ JurassicLover
No problem!

That sounds good to me. I think starting out with a funeral would really help to spice things up, honestly.

@ pavi largo

Alright. I'm glad you think so. :D

@ JurassicLover
I'm excited for it! This is the first time I'll have ever done anything like this to be posted!

A funeral should be enough of a drama starter for this story! And then maybe a reading of the Will and what all went to the brothers? Including the eldest getting custody of them? Or something else? IDK just throwing stuff out there.

@ Repo Man

Aw. That's great.

Those ideas both sound good. I'm really liking how this turns out.

@ pavi largo

What do you think about your character having a boyfriend, or many flings, as he is a flirt, to add more drama, especially after things get more heated between the brothers?

@ JurassicLover
Since he's a flirt, I can't see him having a boyfriend, but I can see him having a lot of flings. Who's going to be the one that starts the incestuous aspect with the brothers?

@ JurassicLover
How old do you see the oldest being? What about the youngest? Why would custody need to be granted unless both the younger brothers are under 18? I just thought about that.

@ pavi largo

Flings is perfect, then. That's what I was thinking, but didn't feel like editing my post. Hmm... Either yours, or maybe mine, but I'm not too picky about that. Hmm...

@ Repo Man

You're right. The oldest in his mid to late twenties, maybe a bit older. The youngest 15 or 16? I forget freshman ages. So the oldest definitely gets custody over mine, but how does the middle fit in then? Ugh. You brought up a good point, though. Maybe they're just all at the house for some time - during the funeral process and what not.

@ JurassicLover
I was about fifteen in high school, so that would make my character around sixteen or seventeen. If that's the case, my character could have a job as well, though it would have to be part time due to schooling. I can see them living in the same house, but things will probably still be really rough on them.

@ pavi largo

So, if yours would be seventeen, mind is fifteen. Perfect. And yeah, definitely. That's how the oldest gets custody.

@ JurassicLover
The big reason why I ask is because, while a moral line is being crossed with the incest, is there any way that part can start after aging them a little bit? At least so they are all of an age of consent? Like 17-18? I, as a 24 year old, don't really feel terribly comfortable writing underage sex with someone else. I know Rylee and am more ok with her, but still. Maybe relations could be started with her character first and then bring yours in after 'a couple years'?

@ Repo Man

Yeah. I can definitely work with that. Thanks for sharing your concern. I totally get where you're coming from. That sounds good. Maybe three or four year pass and then mine joins in. Sounds perfect, actually.

Hello. I am back. I had to take a hiatus to celebrate my birthday over the weekend and other stuff, but I am back, indeed. I'm so so excited to be able to get to write this with the two of you - I know. I've said it before, but it's true. Now we have a better understanding of how they all are living under the same roof. Would we be using face claims for the characters? Or would it just be based on our descriptions of them?

@ JurassicLover
That's fine! I hope you had a good birthday

I mean, usually with original fiction, I tend to use faceclaims, but it's up to you and Oliver, honestly. I don't mind either way.

I did, thanks. :D

Yeah. I don't mind doing that either. It's fun. But I just thought I'd checked with both of you.

Hey. It's been a long time since I posted here - work got too crazy, but would ya'll still be interested in doing this co-write?

@ JurassicLover
I understand. I keep disappearing as well. I'd still be up for it.

@ JurassicLover
I disappeared for QUITE a while too. I blame writer's block and real life taking up all my time. Yes, I'd still be interested in this. I apologize for not really doing much with it before.

Oh, how wonderful. I'm so glad we're all still interested in this. Great to hear from both of you. This actually would be my first time creating a co-write thread, but I definitely can do it on my computer. Just an update. Should we have an order in which way we post chapters?
