Sharing A Universe

[ithildin]

You know, if strangevisitor7 and I took all the emails we send back and forth about plot points and what does this character know about that character, and planned/potential stories, we'd have a novel! Well, we already have a spreadsheet [g] I created one for my Bloodties series years ago to keep track of 500 years of immortal storyline, and once I realized how complex what Casey and I were doing was getting, I decided to start off with one for our shared universe. So it has dates and stories that have been written, along with ones we're thinking of writing, along with things we know happened but might not ever be in a story. It's just stuff that's good to know for character motivations. Like I know that Charlotte took Ezra and Maude to London when he was thirteenish and while there, visited Rebecca. May never write it, but I know it happened. And I know that Ezra was the one who introduced Charlotte to Tony Stark at that party in France. Though I've always wanted to write a story with Rebecca, so maybe that one will happen. But you get the idea!

Today, I needed to know what Ezra told the guys about Maude after the end of 'The Truth Is Immortal' so I don't have Charlotte stepping all over it in the story I'm writing that's set a month later. As I told Casey, we'll have better continuity than most TV shows do! I think we have their lives plotted out till about 1928 at this point, and pick them up again around 2002.

Charlotte thanks you [g]

Well, she probably met all the PotC characters. I rather think she probably kept an eye on the Turner offspring through the generations. She would have got along well with Elizabeth, both being from the same class and background. As for Highlander, I know she met Rebecca early on after Jack died, and they stayed in contact over the decades. Obviously Methos -- that's what started all this! Duncan she doens't meet till 'He's a Pirate'.

Now I'm kinda hoping that Tony Stark is from the Turner line.
Highlander: What about Amanda, Connor, Darius, Fitz, Robert and Gina, Marcus, Cassandra or even Kronos, Caspian or Silas?
POTC: Gibbs, Barbosa, The monkey Jack, Pintel and Ragetti, or Mullroy and Murtogg?
I'm extremely curious but you don't have to answer.

Some answers would be spoilers for what I'm currently writing [g] I toyed with the idea of Amanda, but if they knew each other well, then Charlotte would have probably known who Duncan was when they were introduced. And I decided I liked the idea of Rebecca better. But she would know who Amanda was from Rebecca. I could see her at least knowing Robert at some point since they were sorta in the same line of work as it were. She inherited her father's shipping business and has spent a great deal of time at sea during her life.

If they were part of Jack's crew at the time, I'd assume yes. Barbossa, no idea.
