Me being the darren, meant that I never continued what I started, I vanished and forgot about it...only just now logging in again for the first time in months to find pages of thread continuance and a handful of pm's asking me when is it gonna start proper.
Too late now, seen as the story has gone down the particular arc it has, but here is the master post...just for fun:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Real Lost (running live with latest episodes)
WARNING! SPOILERS IF YOU ARE NOT WATCHING THE LATEST EPISODES!
------------------------------------------------
Scenario:
Introduction:
We, in this reality, this very real life we have, meet here at the Fuselage. During the course of the first 3 and-a-bit seasons we get to know each other via masses of commenting and arrange a few meetups via the Caves & Beaches board here on this website. We eventually arrange a trip to where we believe the fictional island to be...just for fun. We are Lost fans and what better excuse for a trip to exotic isles than to pretend we are on a mission to find the island?
We settle on Easter Island - mainly because we all wanted to visit it anyway, and it is suitably mysterious and interesting, if lacking in jungle.
After many rounds of emails there are eventually 8 of us who are definitely up for it, and we decide to first all meet in Santiago, Chile. This we do and after a merry evening of party and the potential sowing of a romantic entanglement or two, we take the early morning flight to the island in anticipation of our sordid Lost roleplays that we've been planning.
------------------------------------------------
Event:
The flight to Easter Island experiences difficulties...the plane goes down...all is black.
And then:
Slowly people start coming to...the plane is a burning wreckage. It is very dark. After a very long and confusing time, we 8 manage to gather ourselves and realise that all the other passengers, including the attendants and cockpit crew, are all dead.
We are all in shock, but one or two pull themselves together and start escorting our group away from the plane.
It is very dark, the sky is black. From the light from the little burning that still lingers we can make out some trees and miscellaneous greenery. It does not appear we are in a wide open space.
We decide to sit together and think...
------------------------------------------------
Where we really are yet none of us know it yet:
We have transcended our reality and entered the Lost universe. We are in the middle of thick, green jungle.
We are on The Island. It is real.
The characters we know as characters are, in this reality upon which we have stumbled...very real.
The events of the last episode we watched (the current one playing on ABC) have just occurred for real here. The Lost camp is split between Locke and Jack; Sayid, Des & Frank are on the boat.
------------------------------------------------
How this works:
The idea is that we begin with the 8 leads, which is us Lost fans who made the trip, sitting by the plane wreckage in pitch black trying to remain calm and make sense of the situation. We do not know if we crashed on Easter Island or on any other bit of land.
The first 7 Fuselage members who are interested simply reply and claim the next available person...in this case person number 2.
When we have all 8 we can commence with the story, which should develop freely, yet also remain constant and consistent with the Lost story that is being shown on ABC.
Other members interested can be a Lost character (claim one now if you want), and can come in-and-out of the story at will.
TWO RULES:
Rule 1.
If you are not one of the 8 (and/or if and when the 8 split) then you must state at the top of your post where you are, and who you are with, something like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bernard is by the stream with Rose, approximately 2 miles west from the 8 and their plane wreckage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And thus, you guys can have your own little story or chat or comic relief or whatever.
Rule 2.
Anything related to the Lost characters must be in keeping with the actual goings on of the current season. So no Charlie or Eko. No Sayid talking to Jack on the beach (until they meet up again in the episodes themselves of course).
------------------------------------------------
The Challenge! The challenge is how are we going to introduce the losties to the 8? What a shocker! How are the 8 gonna tell the losties that they know all about them, their backstories, their secrets...and that they're meant to be just characters in a TV show, with actors playing them. How will the 8 question their own reality and existence?
The Challenge! How will we manage jumping from scene-to-scene, from group-to-group, without it getting all confusing? Is there no way to do some colour-coding or something?

I have no idea if this will raise any interest or not...but it was fun writing it anyway.
I'll check back after the next episode has aired to see if there's any interest. Remember, all you have to do for now is reply and claim a character. It would be good if the 8 was mixed boys & girls.
Opinions and suggestions are of course very welcome.
Viel Spaß!!
