Online/Off-Topic. Post it here if you don't know where else to go. From random thoughts to sharing your desktop to linking your favorite sites, it can all go here.

Tips and Advice. Some issues, you just want a second opinion on. Others, you'd be too embarrassed to ask someone to their face. The internet gives you anonymity, and this is the place to take advantage of it.

Books & Magazines. In print or online, everywhere you look, there's something to read. Share your recommendations for reading material, even if it's just fanfiction you found online.

Sports & Other Hobbies. Maybe you play football. Maybe you just like to watch it on TV, or like to watch the players themselves. Maybe you collect stamps, or have some odd hobby you don't normally admit to. Tell us!

Lanford Creek, Texas. In a small town that doesn't have much going for it, the high school football players are treated like they walk on water, and anyone who took part in a state championship is practically deified. Step into this world, but be warned: if your character doesn't live for football, they might have a hard time fitting in.

Sun, surf, and a sizzling nightlife. The idyllic beach town in southern California, Seaport was once a luxury vacation town that has since become the primary residence for many wealthy families looking for better weather and tans. The neighboring city of Easthurst is a hotspot for college students and young adults, offering much of the beauty of Seaport without the price tag, and an active nightlife. Your characters can be placed in either town, and you can post them in both.

An elite upbringing. South Hastings, Connecticut is home to some of the oldest and wealthiest families in America. The social stratum is evident and strictly enforced, divided into two groups: you're either a have, or a have not. The 'haves' or Royalties, control the town and hold all the power, even though they're greatly outnumbered by the Pawns. Maybe it's time for someone to tip that scale in the favor of the majority. That's not to say the social elite will go down without a fight, though.
