I've been thinking of doing a story about the Jellicles being human (not one of those annoying high school ones, more like a small town one) and was just wondering what you guys think everyone would be like. I've always pictured Jennyanydots as a chocolate store owner, or Jelly as a harsh school nurse with a good heart. I'd like to hear what you think!

Hmmm, this idea is very different. I like it.
I would never have thought of a chocolate store owner, lol. I would have pictured Jennyanydots as owning a sewing shop or craft shop, or maybe even a pharmacy, lol. *shrugs* My five cents' worth.
By the way, I share your sentiment about those high school fics. *shudders*

Damn right. And if they were at least well written I would give them some respect, but they're all done horribly. We should just write one, show 'em how its done.
At first I had the same view on Jenny, but I read this book called Chocolat and saw her as this motherly chocolatier who had a knack for finding favorites in a colorful, homey store where everything is made right there and practically tastes of passion for the art (woops, I'm rambling).

Since Jennyanydots likes music, crotcheting and tatting, I think it's sound reasoning that she'd own a sewing shop or maybe even be a music teacher? I could see Tugger, Plato, Tumblebrutus and Pouncival being the town 'bad boys' (lolGreaserCats). I could see Quaxo secretly want to be one, but isn't quite 'the bad boy type'. Victoria, Jemima, Electra and Etcetera would be the popular chick click (Quaxo having the biggest crush on Vickie, but never letting her know it because he's not one of the cool guys). I could see Bombalurina owning a dirty book store while her sister Demeter is head of the Community Service Team. Cassandra I guess woud be the 'hot teacher' in town....maybe even the hot nurse XD Old D. woud be....I dunno...the local preacher or something. Skimble would be part of the local law enforcement team working under his commanding officer, Munkustrap (I can picture Skimble beating the hell out of Tugger with a billy club screaming 'stop resisting arrest'!!!) Grizabella woud be a retired Vegas Show Girl looking for an easier life. Macavity would be the mob boss with Rumple and Jerrie as his assistants (or assassins.....whichever works). Bustopher Jones reminds me of Peter Griffin's real father, Mickey McFinnigan, so I can see 'ol Bustopher as the town drunk. Quaxo is the nerdy kid who longs to be included in the popular gang, but he's too different (possibly pushes him to make a bad boy alter-ego? Hello, Mistoffelees the bad-ass!) And...........I dunno......Gus being one of those theater guys who points you to your seat and won't let anyone in after the play has started (there's a fancy French name for that kind of worker, I just can't think of it right now.) I can see Jellyorum as Gus's daughter who is striving to be an actress, but has to settle with just being the make-up girl. I don't think I missed anyone, but if I did, they're probably not all that important anyway. So here's my cast idea: Jennanydots: Music teacher or Sewing Shop Owner Jellylorum: Struggling actresss working in make-up Gus: Theater patron Rum Tum Tugger: Leader of the local gang Plato: Second to Tugger *alternate job: Scout Master* (I can't be the only one who sees Plato taking young boys camping...) Tumblebrutus: 3rd Bad Boy Pouncival: Youngest bad boy Quaxo: Nerdy chem-student longing to be a bad boy so he could get the girl. Mistoffelees: Quaxo's bad boy alter-ego Victoria: Leader of the popular girls. Jemima: Second to Vickie Electra: 3rd popular girl Etcetera: Youngest popular girl. Bombalurina: Owner of the dirty book store (where the cool guys hang out) Demeter: Head of the Community Service Team Munkustrap: Sheriff Skimbleshanks: Police Officer (I never pictured him working at the train station...maybe peeing in the luggage van...) Grizabella: Retired show-girl Bustopher Jones: Town Drunk (always a good one!) Old Deuteronomy: Rabbi/Priest Macavity: Mob Boss Rumpleteazer and Mungojerrie: Assassins (yeah, that's believeable XD) Cassandra: Sexy Chemistry Teacher Coricopat & Tantomile: Psychic Hotline And I forgot Alonzo. We'll make him the flasher who lives nextdoor ;D Or maybe the local gynocologist (open wide ladies!)

Lol, I enjoy the ideas for the Greaser Cats and Popular Chics you came up with Roach. I can totally see that as well. And I like the idea of Mistoffelees being Quaxo's bad-boy side, lol. I'm seeing Grease/Hairspray crossover images in my head for some of this XD. But in general, I like the whole idea of the alternate/human universe thing. I don't have any additional ideas to the ones that have been given just yet, but if I come up with some I'll totally let you know. Goodluck with this!

I like most of these ideas. Unfortunately I can't see Jemima as a popular girl, more an aspiring wannabe. Etcetera could well be popular, but with my 'pops are jerks' view on life I see her constantly disagreeing with what Vicky says, though liking her popularity too much to act out. It's just my personal view on them.
(What about Admetus? Exotica? Umm... I think that's it. :])

... Let us avoid the strange school counsellor Exotica can be the creepy cat lady that talks to buildings and wears mens shoes and all that jazz.

I will totally write this and post it for you.
(Quick message for those on FF.net, I have a story up called 'The Jellicle Year' which will have something up for every day of this year. Take a look for me, despite the shameless advertising? Pretty please with Pounce/Misto/Tugger/any particular tom of your desire on top?

Well, if you're offering Misto on top, I can't see how I can resist XD. But I'll totally check it out when I get the chance Caf. I'm always up for new fanfiction.
With regards to Kit's high school story, and Roach's pot suggestion, if you wanted to go that route, I could totally see Tanto and Cori having hookah sessions or what not and dreaming up 'visions of the future', and perhaps trying to drag some other, more innocent/naive cats (Misto perhaps?) in with them, lol.
