Hey, I was just thinking about how much we've already modified the canon plots. Such as Lucius having a sibling, Remus having a child in Hogwarts, Lily and Sev getting together, and I was wondering how much we really have to stick to canon in other areas.
For instance, if everything goes well with Lucius' plots and his sibling is good to him and he gets a good love interest, I'm not going to make him turn evil. Which means he won't marry Narcissa and he'll never have Draco, which would end a lot of future problems. By the same token, do Lily and James have to be killed? Does Kyndrick and the baby have to die to leave room for Tonks and Teddy?
Of course, I understand this has something to do with the rp-er's willingness, but for the site's sake, how much are we required to stick to?
....and yes, I know I over-think things a bit. lol. ^_^

You know, you have a really good point. Maybe it's just because I really love playing Kyn, but you're right. Maybe this could be like our own version. Plus, we've got so many other twists to it. And if the site moves forward successfully, we could really show the future of our characters. I love your idea. It's up to the other canons involved too though.

I know I don't play any canons, but I wouldn't do it personally.
I mean, its not like a lot of this time is canon. What do we really know? Lily used to be Snapes friend, but eventually fell for James. James, Sirius, and Peter all became animagi to be with Remus. Sirius set up Snape to see Remus as a werewolf and James saved him in their fifth year.
Do we know any more then that? No, not really. So Remus could have a child following a one night stand, Malfoy could have had a half sibling we didn't know about, and Lily could have had a relapse in regards to Snape. Its not like JKRowling has ever said, 'Um, No.'
But, its one thing to say 'what if?' on the history we don't know, then mess with the story we do know. I know its done, but.... I don't know. IMO; it works better if you just leave the canon as canon. Just my two cents.
And Tippy, do you really need to kill Kyndrick to get her out of the way of Tonks and Teddy? Maybe the baby dies due to complications and Kyn blames Remus so she... shuns him? ANd speaking of the canon but not canon, it would kinda explain why he was so freaked out when Tonks is preggo. He's had one child die, possibly because of his werewolf genes, and now maybe another? Just a thought.

I know where you're coming from. But let's just say for the sake of argument that this site lasts for a really long time. We're going to have to kill Lily and James, send Sirius to Azkaban, basically kill Peter because we'll only see him as a rat, and, most importantly, I'm going to have to turn my Lucius evil - all to stick to canon.
Now, if there was a reason for Lucius' mood swing, maybe his sister dying (which I really don't want, btw), then I could understand his position. Mind you, that doesn't mean I wouldn't try to stop it, but I might be willing to go along with it. Now, Kyndrick and the baby, that's another thing entirely. I like Kyndrie way too much to see her pushed aside (in death or break-up) for Tonks.

To be blunt and to recite a cliche, death is a part of life. If we play this long enough, everyone of these characters will have to die. And I'm pretty sure Tippy took on Lily knowing that eventually, Lily would have to die if we play until 1981. Just as whoever picks up James knows that he dies with Lily, and whoever will play Sirius knows that he eventually gets sent to Azkaban, and whoever plays Peter knows that he spends 13 years as a rat.
And honestly, what would Harry Potter be if Lily and James don't die? If they don't die, he doesn't get the horcrux/scar, and the prophecy isn't fulfilled... and Voldemort isn't destroyed.
Do you really have to play him as flat out evil? I mean, yes, he does eventually become Voldemort's right hand man... but does that make him evil? He's on the 'bad guys' side, but I wouldn't say he's an evil character. He's devoted to his wife, he cares about his son. He seems to seriously regret the choices he's made in Deathly Hallows. It seems to me that Malfoy was raised as a snobby pure-blood who dislikes muggleborns and threw his lot to someone he thought was going to was going to help with the problem. He may get better influences, but his upbringing isn't ever going to be erased. Maybe you could play him as starting to justify small things, 'Oh. That muggleborn snubbed me.' 'Oh, that person is a brat, gotta be a muggleborn,' and then slowly, slowly turn into the death eater he becomes. It doesn't need to be 'Hey! I'm an evil git!' I think he could be played as not quite evil... but never quite good. Does that make any sense?
As for Kyndrick... people change. What... twenty years pass from this point in time to when Lupin meets Tonks? More? How many seventeen year old do you know that have stayed exactly the same up into their mid-thirties? And very, very, very rarely does the love of your teenage years last into your twenties and beyond. Yes, it happens, I know it does... but its does fall apart. And that's not even with the added stress of a war. They could have grown apart, it wouldn't be surprising at all.

Yes, I agree on the whole 'Evil Lucius' deal. I mean really, Snape is often considered evil as well in the later books, but than again...Snapey is just...awesome.
And complicated. You know what, I love Snape.
And taking over Cissy, I don't mind if they get married, but I do think that maybe a fling or something is in order. I just can't imagine their paths not crossing at all, you know? And who ever said their marriage wasn't like Bella and that Lestrange bloke who's first name I can't spell? Only to keep the pureblood going, you know?

This topic sounds a lot more broad than just us. I'm going to place it in a site-wide poll and we'll vote. We'll see what everyone here wants to do altogether and then we'll adapt [or not adapt] our plots.

Okay, since this concept actually really captivates me, I've started a secondary HP site that I'll hopefully have up in a few weeks that goes with this one. It should be interesting. It's sort of like the 'what could have been' version. It's called 'Something Wicked This Way Comes' and I'm working on canons right now. So far, I've got the typical ones and then some new faces amongst them like Olivia Lupin [Remus & Kyn's daughter], Allison Snape [Severus & Lily's daughter, no worries, it's Harry's half-sister], and Alandrea Lestrange [Tom Riddle & Bellatrix Lestrange's daughter]. There will be others, I've also put Hayden and Serenity's kids as well as a few different things. I'll add more later and if anyone wants to help me staff, just PM me and I'll link you.
xoxo
