Dear precious followers (and any other Opussian reading this):
I've been developing this idea for a while. It's an idea for a series of parts, to form a story, set in a place we all know and love: Opuss. Opuss in real life. However, knowing me and my dark dark ways, I've given a twisted twist. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE repost this and, if you want your Opuss self to be CONSIDERED in appearing during the story (I cant guarantee everyone who wants to be in it will be) please let me know in the comments. If you do get chosen to appear I may ask to use some of your best work in the story or, if you're going to be a character, I may need to find out some of you backstory.
I really want this idea to take off, and I would love to include as many people's work and stories in it as I can. If you want to know more about the story, read my 'summary' below! The story does have horror as a prominent theme. But I'll try to make it wholly accessible o almost anyone. Thank you for giving my idea your time!
Set in the near future, Opuss has flourished and grown into a large industry. Passed down through generations, Opuss now buys and sells the rights to stories, poems, scripts and songs, in an attempt to keep literacy alive in a world where only money matters.
But during a risky business deal, Rick Twain loses everything. The Opuss database is hacked and destroyed: thousands upon thousands of masterpieces are lost, and Rick Twain falls into great debt he knows can never repay without going bankrupt. Whilst butchering Opuss and selling off the pieces, Rick creates the only way to keep Opuss truly alive.
He builds Opussia. All of his life's credit he has gathered is put into this project to create a last safe refuge for creativity, hoping that there human literacy can be rewritten. His last act was to try recruit other people into the haven of creativity.
Rick Twain disappeared thirty seven days after the later recorded start to the Opussia project. His body was never found and Opussia never located.
Our story begins roughly twenty years later.
NOTE: THE STORY MAY CHANGE AS I DESIGN IT. THIS PLAN ISN'T SET IN STONE
