History

The original short story Sanitaria Springs was written by Dabeagle and introduced the characters of Sasha Buchanan and Alec Kutsenko. The story centers around physical abuse in the locker room with respect to the attempt to exercise power with a veneer of homophobia. Underlying the overall story is the romance of Sasha and Alec, both Sophomores in high school. Alec is defined by his quick wit and makes use of it as he matures through the story.

The little town of Sanitaria Springs exists, however the fictional town is considerably bigger and further from Binghamton - probably more like Unadilla, a town about 30 miles further along I-88/NY Route 7. For the fictional town, Binghamton is still considered the nearest major city and, inside one hour travelling time, within commuting distance.

The plot and characters are entirely fictional as are the vast majority of the structures.


Development

Several authors have contributed to the development of the town of Sanitaria Springs. After the original was posted the offer was made to others to come build their own characters and interact with the originals, and many have answered that call. The town is still open to new residents and offers many springboards in existing stories for the development of new characters and places. Because the various authors have been able to work with considerable autonomy, there are occasional discrepancies in continuity especially in the timeline.


Rules

The rules are that of a gentleman's code. Make no major changes to existing plot lines or contradict same. For instance, do not break up an existing couple simply to advance your own story. If you wish to use another author's character in a substantive way, contact them to ensure they aren't writing something contradictory to the story you are developing, as a for instance or presenting the character in a way that is contradictory to the author's intent. Keep in mind that characters are like an author's children and treat them with care. Dabeagle can be contacted for help in this regard.
