Visiting The Attic Of Lost Things is a unique journey that could change your life (or your character's life) forever. This could be good, or bad, depending on how you see things. You can invent anything you like in the world of The Attic. Just please be careful with the rules and tips and don't change anything about anyone's character. It is not about how you interact with others, more how you interact with yourself. Please do not post extremely short chapters and also please put your character's name in the title of your chapter. You may write from whatever perspective you like as long as you chose one tense and stick to it.

• EVERY VISITOR TO THE ATTIC GETS GIVEN THE QUEEN'S LETTER BY ONE OF HER LOYAL SUBJECTS. THIS PERSON THEN EXPLAINS TO THEM ABOUT THE ATTIC.

• If you have lost something, it will end up in The Attic. There is no rule to say that what you have lost must be material. You could have lost your sanity for all that the people of The Attic care.
• There are countless ways to get to The Attic, the portal simply appears when it is needed. You can create a character or enter it yourself as you.
• If you decide to add a character from a story you have already written, and that character has magical powers of some sort, then let it be known that powers do not work in The Attic.
• It is not necessary for every character to meet up. In fact, unless you chose to stay in the Attic for eternity, your character need not meet anyone (Excepting the people of The Attic) at all should you not wish it.
• Nobody knows about The Attic before they go there. One of the inhabitants of the Attic must explain to them where they are and about The High Queen granting one wish.
• Anything can happen in The Attic so please use your imagination to whatever extent you wish. Anything can become real, even something you draw on paper.
• It is almost impossible to escape from The Attic without the help of The High Queen Aria or The Queen's Magician Damien.
• To get to The High Queen you must first complete three tasks and they all involve something you greatly fear. You are given as much time as you wish to complete a task but until it is finished you may not move on to the next part of the attic.
• The way to the High Queen's palace is not always the same, neither is how she appears to each individual.
• Beware of False Queens and Snargles (Snargles seek to find what you have lost so that they may obtain the power to control you for all eternity)
• The Trickster can appear in many shapes and forms. Beware of him, he is extremely crafty but he has a weakness for chocolate, smarties in particular. It might seem amusing now, but it could save your life later.
• Do not trust the children Evie and Sean. They might appear to be young and helpful but they are older then the Snargles and they are not what they seem. They are the children of The Trickster.
• One last VERY IMPORTANT thing to remember is that nobody has the same experiences in The Attic and the characters of The Attic do not appear the same to anyone. You must use your own imagination on how they appear.

And now I think you know enough about The Attic, let the rest unfold in your imagination......

ATTENTION ALL

Firstly I must mention, this is the collab version, taken from the original stories that I have written (and will soon post) Some things might be slightly different from the real story in this version, but that is only to make it easier for people to add.

Please read the first chapter for the rules.

Letter from The High Queen Aria to all potential visitors to The Attic Of Lost Things:

Aahh, Greetings to you Oh Weary Traveller,

Welcome To The Attic....Where fantasy becomes reality...
So glad you paid a visit to my humble abode...

Let me explain a little bit about The Attic....

Anything can happen in The Attic Of Lost Things. Many people come here in search of something lost, but few people ever leave. What you have lost does not concern me, it could be anything from an old sock to a childhood dream. Keep the knowledge of what you have lost to yourself because there are entities here that would try their best to find and conceal what you look for to obtain power over you.
If you can find me, then you may be guaranteed of clean clothes, food, a bed to sleep in, and most importantly, my help.

I am the Queen of The Attic and I can grant you one wish, but one wish only.
Then, if you can answer a riddle for the Riverman, he might take you home.
You see another thing that I forgot to explain about The Attic is that, although you can find your way here, it is nearly impossible to find your way out, and so far, only three people have guessed the answer to the Riverman's riddle.

So here's the dilemma for you....

Do you ask me to return you to your world?
Or
Do you ask me to return what was lost?

Choose wisely my friend, your future depends upon your answer.


Aria,

High Queen of The Attic
