Oh, of course. I'll be here tomorrow, most likely, since I work from home. Have a good night!

Basically, yes.

I suppose social issues and dangers coming from an influx of dangerous looters and thieves or killers on the run from the city, taking shelter at Lola's cottage and trying to do what they do best before taking leave again. So even though she allows everyone inside, giving them the benefit of the doubt, she can defend herself with improvised weapons and bladed ones as well. I don't think guns would be good for this setting, though, too loud.

Oh, and perhaps we can have other characters? You know, other than the antagonists. Maybe more than one, if it calls for such a thing. One main character, and one supporting role or background character controlled by both writers.

Hm, good questions. Well, since Lola's home doesn't have electricity, but does have running water inside the house... I guess it could be a certain time that isn't quite the present, but isn't so far back as the eighteenth century. Vehicles aren't used in small towns, horses are used to get around instead.

You don't have to say it again! You have no reason to.

Well, I've been stuck on the cottage-setting idea, but we can talk about whatever you have in mind. Just don't ask me what ideas I have, my mind is constantly filled with plots, characters, scenes, and so on. If you want to know, though, make sure to narrow down what you want me to tell you! Like, genera, location, type of character, and so on.

Oh I did laugh, when I played it out in my head. Then I decided not to button my trap and explained what my mind played out after that.

But of course they're important! We must have protagonists and antagonists! But depending on what we decide on, or what ideas we suddenly get, the number of characters would change, possibly.

Oh dear, I'm not sure how that would work. Because she lives alone, and it's quite cold out, and crashing through the roof wouldn't be a good thing. But there is room for humor, it's a warmer story considering the location.

Of course. I'll always clarify, never be afraid to ask. Conflict is always necessary, otherwise it wouldn't be much of a story. And usually when considering a setting like an inn, which is basically what the cottage is, though you don't have to pay room and board, conflict usually arrives with a certain guest or something ominous looming on the horizon.

No, no, of course not. I have... no social skills. Not when speaking face to face and I hardly pull myself together to write to others online.
No question is stupid. Not to me, anyway. And to yours, I will gladly elaborate! By that, I meant perhaps we could write something centering around that setup. I've been wishing to do that, but I had no ideas to really take it somewhere, and I thought that with two minds working on it, we could make it go somewhere.

I'm glad you like it! The home is mine, just not in the eternally-winterized forest and I sadly don't own horses, which I would love to do. And the character is me, technically, I just changed up the name a bit. Since I've written so much, I try to be the best I can and never submit something without looking over it a few times. But if I'm asked to look through something to see if anything could be made better or changed, I would love to! And maybe we could do something with this, I've been dying to since I came up with the basic idea. I've just not got much to go on right now.

Oh, but I could never find you annoying! Sometimes I worry I'm the annoying one, but I would never think that of anyone else. Besides, I've got endless patience, I wouldn't even notice someone being annoying if they were...

All right, here it is. I always make sure to get everything about the character. Their name, to start, their age or how old they look, their height and physical appearance, their clothes, and a bit of their past, if it's relevant at the time. But it's best not to put the entire profile into the story itself, since it's too much at once.
