Lover's Stadium (Series)

**Lover's Stadium** is a series of stories told through "Seasons," which houses several characters and events. Lover's Stadium has four seasons (**Lover's Stadium**, **Thursday**, **Trilogy**, and Mezzanine), three half seasons (**A Tribe Called Quest**, **358/2 Days**, and **Bears Like This**), and one movie (One Thousand and One Nights). Inspired by pop culture, the setting differs from conventional settings. It follows the story of a friend group in a **timeline** where their favorite cartoons are real and the high-jinks that ensue during their search for answers on who created this reality they are living in and when the change occurred.

## **Series**

## **Terminology**

While the terminology used in Lover's Stadium seems complicated, it is easy to grasp when explained fully. For starters, we will use our sister site as an example. Donuts keeps track of storylines and events using "Eras." Within each "era" is a series of storylines as an era consists of an entire year. With that briefly explained, Lover's Stadium uses three main terms:

* Seasons
* Episodes
* Movies

This was done to further separate Lover's Stadium from Donuts and its other site, Europa. These three terms are the crux of how continuity, time, and stories are kept track of. "Seasons" are the "eras" of Lover's Stadium. They do not have an established timetable for how long they take place, so "Seasons" are a blanket statement for what is currently happening within the series and roleplay.

Episodes are the storylines that take place within a season. Each episode is a storyline, and each regular season has ten episodes, meaning each typical season has ten storylines before the next season starts. This changes only with half seasons (also known as .5 seasons), as they have only five episodes. These seasons are typically flashback or exposition dump seasons for context for future seasons or a season that has already ended.

Movies are the newest concept introduced. Movies consist of anywhere between one to four episodes of a regular season. In roleplay terms, Movies are server-wide events. Once a movie (event) is finished, the season will proceed as expected, much like how TV movies occur. With that, you know the terms we use in Lover's Stadium!
