I am sure this is a topic that has been discussed often, but I'm pretty new to the game after a long return, I am interested in everyone's thoughts on how you approach this.
Do you have any characters that are in multiple feds, and what challenges have you found with it, from a continuity perspective? To me, this is the most challenging part. I currently have two charactersthat are in two different feds (this character isn't one of them). Maintaining storylines that not only don't contradict one another has been one challenge. If you have a character in one fed and something of import happens to the character, does it transfer over to the other fed?
This has been a struggle for me to maintain because on one hand, continuity is essential; buton the other hand, it doesn't make sense to me to have to explain away something that happened on one fed in another fed, since from that fed's perspective, it was a nonevent.
I have seen different feds handle this in different ways. I have seen some feds where a character's reference to his wrestling world outside of that fed is accepted, and other feds where they don't even want you to mention that character's past experience in other feds, let alone what is happening in that character's life elsewhere.
I think the challenge is compounded by the existenceof Twitter.
What is everyone's take on this?
Right now, I have mutiple characters spread out over five feds-- L.A.W., 2nd City, IWA, GPW, and FGA. I am gonna post their respective ooc boards to get as much feedback as possible from people who have been doing this a lot longer than I have. Thanks.
