Summary: A lot has changed since the revolution. Crimes against androids are now punished in the same way as crimes against humans. A reluctant Gavin Reed and his new partner RK900 have been assigned to investigate a string of disturbing murders. Despite the shift in Detroit's social climate, Gavin still holds reservations about whether or not androids are truly alive. Will his developing feelings for 'Nines' be the thing to change this?

Warnings: Graphic Violence, Depression/Self Destructive Behaviour, Eventual Smut

Word Count: 3.1K

Arriving early in the morning, the front lobby of Cedars Motel was empty. It was likely a down period, with most patrons still asleep or yet to arrive. However, judging from the Reception's outdated decor and the noticeably mildewed walls, Gavin suspected it saw little traffic even at the best of times.

There was nothing to fill the space except some sparsely placed furniture. A set of worn, moth-eaten armchairs framed a single rickety coffee table. There was an electric display board in the corner of the room, cycling ads for casinos and low-rent strip clubs. Beneath the board was a metal rack filled to the brim with dirty magazines.

Gavin found his attention captured by a particularly shameless image. Two androids – one male, one female – dressed in matching lingerie and knelt on the floor, tongues extended. Their glazed eyes stared wantonly up at the reader. Curiously, he picked up the magazine and swept his finger across the display, to which an article title appeared:

"Your girlfriend's jaw might get tired – but ours won't!"

Why Android Sex Is Still The Best

Gavin let out a snort. He wasn't a prude by any means, but something about nudie mags in public had always struck him as uncomfortable. While innocuous in the places you would expect, like adult stores, he couldn't understand perusing a supermarket for something you could see online for free. In the year 2039, it seemed more than a little redundant. 

"Our perp certainly has some refined taste. Classy digs, don't you think?"

The longer Gavin scrolled, however, the more he was beginning to feel...intrigued. He'd never really indulged in android porn, having had little desire to do so, but now that he was seeing it firsthand, he could certainly appreciate the aesthetics.

Machines meticulously detailed to appear human - but far too perfect to actually be real. Like pornstars airbrushed to oblivion, coupled with the stamina and dexterity of Olympic gymnasts. There were positions he had never seen before. Didn't even think were possible –

"I would advise that you close your mouth, Detective," Nines said suddenly.

Gavin stalled in his movements. He looked up from the screen, shooting his partner an accusatory glare. "Are you seriously telling me to shut up? I barely said anything."

"I wasn't suggesting that you 'shut up,' although it would certainly be a bonus if you chose to do so. I just fear you will have to pay for that item if you continue to soak it with your drool."

Having been thoroughly called out and feeling more than a little embarrassed, Gavin placed the magazine back on the shelf. "Great, you've got jokes now, just what I need." He did his best to ignore the rising heat burning his face but was helped little by Nines' smug expression. "Let's just find the owner of this dump so we can get the hell out of here."

"I would agree it is best to limit your exposure to our current surroundings." Nines ran its fingers along the crumbling drywall before sealing them with its lips. The digits were held for only a moment before being quickly retracted. "There is a dangerous level of mold in this room. The spores could be hazardous to your health."

Gavin was tempted to make a comment on his twenty-a-day smoking habit (or the myriad of other unhealthy life choices) but decided against it. Nines seemed to be in a good mood. Or, at the very least, was behaving less like an asshole than usual. He didn't feel like disturbing the peace with another tired lecture.

Nines strode with purpose towards the Reception desk and quickly scoped the call bell amongst a sea of trash and paperwork. It pressed down on the sensor, to which a shrill chime echoed throughout the room. The two of them waited pensively, watching the door behind the desk, before realizing that no one was coming to greet them.

With a frustrated twitch of its brow, Nines pressed the button again. Firmer and more prolonged.

"Detroit Police Department," It spoke in a firm, authoritative tone but was barely audible over the noise.

"Whoever's hiding back there, they're deaf," Gavin remarked, holding his hands over his ears. "That thing is loud as fuck."

Just then, there was a soft shuffling of footsteps from behind the door. It swung open, and a wiry-looking man peered slowly around the corner. His appearance perfectly complemented the stuffy surroundings, with yellowed skin and frail bones jutting through a dirty sweater.

"Apologies for the wait, sirs. I must have dozed off," Bleary eyes trailed clumsily from behind a pair of thick-rimmed glasses, darting between Gavin and Nines. "Are you looking for a room? I have a King Size left. Great rates."

"Detroit Police Department," Nines repeated, clearly intent on not wasting time, "Officer RK900, Serial Number 313 248 317 – 87, and Detective Gavin Reed."

"Oh, right, of course," The man pursed his lips before lightly clearing his throat. "Are you looking for a room...officers?"

The silence that followed was legendary. Nines stared back at the man blankly - while Gavin openly gaped. Evidently, the place saw little business from anything other than booty calls. Still, Gavin couldn't help but wonder how someone could be so hopelessly oblivious.

"Mr. Walter Andrews," Nines was leaning forward now, face inches from the perspex divider. Reaching into its side pocket, it pulled out its badge and flashed it plainly. "Your assessment of this situation is deeply misguided. We have no interest in a room; we are here on professional matters."

The man, who Gavin now knew to be Walter, retreated from the encroaching android. His face turned pale with mortification "...I-I am very sorry to have caused offense. I thought perhaps you were doing a role-play and wanted me to go along with it. It happens more often than you'd think. I didn't actually think you were –."

"TMI, buddy," Gavin cut him off, pinching the bridge of his nose. "We want to know if anyone suspicious checked in on the night of January 13th. Think you can help us with that?"

"Well...most of the folks who check in here are a little suspicious," Walter let out a shaky chuckle before quickly tensing up. "Nothing illegal about it, mind you. Drunk businessmen and ladies of the night. That kind of thing."

"Prostitution is not permissible in Michigan, so the arrangements you have just described are indeed illegal," Nines corrected, straightening its back. "Not that it is of immediate concern. The individual we are looking for would have been alone. Do you have any check-in records that we may review?"

"Well, yes, of course, I do...but I wouldn't usually share them. Customer confidentiality and all," Walter adjusted his glasses nervously, pursing his lips. "Mind telling me what this is about, officers?"

"It concerns a homicide. This information may be critical in assisting us in our investigation, and your cooperation is appreciated."

"Homicide? As in a murder?" Walter spluttered out, holding his chest. "I haven't heard anything about that. Is it public knowledge?"

"The story has been broadcasted on several networks."

"Was it a man? A woman? God, my niece Julie would've been out that day. She's only eighteen and such a dainty thing. It just kills me to think that something might have happened –"

"Mr. Andrews," Nines interrupted, sounding a little annoyed. Its words fell on deaf ears, however, as the man persisted on.

"I'm looking at a screen most days and nights. Except when I'm checking guests in. Or when I'm driving Julie back home. She helps out with the cleaning on Fridays, you see. I would think that I would have heard if something like that had -"

"It was an android," Nines said firmly, ending the man's inane ramblings. "The records, please."

"Oh. Oh yes," Walter mumbled, voice growing unusually muted. He had a far-off look about him as if he were too uncomfortable to say much else. "Well, that's a shame, isn't it? I mean... it's very sad." He then looked to Gavin desperately - as if seeking some form of reassurance or guidance.

When he received nothing in return, the man meekly turned his attention to the underside of his desk. After some searching, he retrieved a tattered leather sign-in book. He dusted it off and slid it over to Nines for examination.

The android wasted no time flicking through the pages, scanning for the relevant dates. When located, it began trailing its gaze down the list of names, LED flickering in time with its blinks.

Gavin left his partner to it, reclining against the side of the desk. To his dismay, Walter appeared to take this as an invitation to engage in conversation, eagerly tilting forward. "So, are the two of you partners?"

"Unfortunately."

"Have you been working together long?"

"About a week," Gavin deadpanned. He was suddenly desperate for a smoke break. Or a drink. "So long enough."

Before Walter could bombard him with any more unwanted questions, Nines' head snapped upwards - as if caught on a pulley.

"He was here."

"You're shitting me," Gavin ran over to his partner, pulling the book towards him and studying it closely. "The guy was seriously dense enough to use 'Thod Graws' in two places?"

"While he didn't use the same name, he may as well have done," Nines snatched the book back, holding it up to the divider and directing Walter with its finger. "Do you remember this man?"

Walter peered forward, eyes squinted in concentration. "Who, Hans? He was a strange one. I couldn't get two words out of the guy. Paid with cash and went straight to his room."

"Do you remember what he looked like?" Nines pressed on. "This may be of crucial importance. I implore you to think carefully."

"It was raining that night. He came in wearing a hood and refused to pull it down. I asked if he had ID, but he said he'd left it at home. I never got a good look at his face."

Gavin folded his arms. "Let me guess. He was wearing a black raincoat?"

"Why yes, I think so, but how did you -"

"Psychic," The detective retrieved a notepad from his jacket and began scribbling notes, "Who was on the desk the following morning? Anyone who might have seen him check out?"

"Well, I was here all day, but..." Walter pointed a crooked finger to a mail chute just by the window. "I have a drop box for early morning checkouts. Got to sleep sometime, you know?"

Son of a bitch. "Does anybody else work here, or is it just you?"

"I mean, there's Julie. I did tell you about Julie, right?"

Goddamn it.

"She's a lovely girl, always helping me out. Going to college in September. Sharp as a tack that one, I could ask if maybe she saw –"

"You know what, never mind," Gavin shook his head dismissively, putting his notebook away. He felt as though he might collapse from the undue stress that Walter was causing him.

"Would you have any CCTV records from the night in question?" Nines said, eager to steer the conversation back on course.

"I've got the one camera up there," Walter pointed to the wall above the main entrance. "I'm warning you, though, it's grainy as sin. You can't make out anything but blurs and squiggles. I'm not sure what good it'll be."

"Regardless of its quality, a copy of the footage would be appreciated. We can take it for analysis and see for ourselves if there is anything of interest."

"Well, I wouldn't know how to make a copy of that, but I can give it a go. Never got to grips with this newfangled technology. Let alone everything being automated. If you ask me, it just makes it more confusing."

Nines held up its hand, synthetic skin slowly retracting. "If you could show me the hub, I would be able to download the data for myself."

"Why yes, I forgot that you, uh, that androids, could do that," Walter nodded quietly before opening up a panel on the side of his desk, beckoning Nines forward. "This way, please."

Once they had left the motel, Gavin let out a shameless groan, his breath swirling in front of him. He had failed to realize how warm the Reception had been - as the freezing temperature outside hit him full tilt.

There was a reason he couldn't stand early mornings, especially in the winter. He placed his hands under his armpits, hugging them tight. "So much for a quick in and out. If I had to hear another word about 'lovely Julie,' I was going to blow fucking my brains out."

"Perhaps you were too dismissive. This Julie could have been a valuable witness."

"That seems pretty unlikely," Gavin shot back.

"I don't know, Detective. I hear she's rather sharp."

Gavin glanced at his partner, waiting for some sort of smartass elaboration. When he realized it was, in fact, kidding, he let out a soft chuckle. "Seriously, did you download a sense of humor? Because you are full of them today."

Nines shrugged, feigning obliviousness, "Nothing I have said has been in jest. I am simply being transparent."

"Surprised that you didn't rip that guy a new one the second he started spewing useless bullshit. I thought you were designed to intimidate."

"I was designed to intimidate criminals, not harass civilians. Well, that, and also to - " Nines stopped itself. Its relaxed demeanor abruptly vanished, LED cycling to red. It looked intensely uncomfortable. As if it had been close to revealing something deeply personal.

"...Nines?" Gavin waved a hand in front of the android, who continued to stare fixedly ahead. It had gone into autopilot, body moving in staggered motions and its expression drained of vibrance. "You're not glitching on me, are you?"

This triggered some sort of response. The androids' LED showed glimpses of yellow - before slowly returning to blue, "I am not. My diagnostics indicate that I am functioning normally."

"Right," Gavin said back, entirely unconvinced. "Are you sure? You seem a little twitchy."

"If I was experiencing a fault that may inhibit this investigation, I would certainly be aware of it," Its voice was strained, almost defensive. "Perhaps it is best we focus on that rather than the intricacies of my program, which I can assure are beyond your comprehension.

"Jesus, okay, touchy much?" Gavin whistled, scowling deeply. Just when Nines was starting to behave like less of a machine, it seemed to default back to its shitty factory settings. "If you wanna talk business, what did you mean when you said our perp 'may as well' have used the same name? Because I checked those sign-ins and I didn't see anything close to a 'Thod Graws'."

"Our culprit is fond of codes. He uses them rather liberally," Nines closed its eyes, accessing its data banks. Seemingly unaware, or unconcerned, with Gavin's sarcasm. "His preferred method for alias generation appears to be anagrams. When reordered, Thod Graws translates to 'Gods Wrath'. This new name, Hans Stiver, has similar connotations."

Gavin pondered on this. He took his notebook back out to draw up its musings. Tongue curled with concentration, he struck out a few combinations, but to no avail. When Gavin eventually did decipher the code, his heart sank.

"Holy shit, you're right", He muttered, staring at the paper intently. Making sure he wasn't mistaken, "...Your computer brain got anything for that gibberish from the other day? The weird binary shit?"

"It wasn't binary. Had it been, I would have deciphered it instantaneously" Nines appeared somewhat vexed, its lips taut in a thin line. "Truthfully, I am uncertain of the system used. While I possess advanced deductive capabilities, code decryption is not one of my primary functions. An oversight on CyberLife's part, perhaps." 

"Yeah, I'll say", Gavin lamented, throwing up his hands. "What kind of detective bot doesn't have a built-in code breaker?"

"At any rate, it may take me a little longer, but I am confident I will crack it soon."

"I guess we can add 'religious nutjob' to the suspect profile, anyway. Hell of a lot else we've got to go on."

"I wouldn't suggest that we have nothing."

Gavin frowned at his partner bitterly. "What are you, fucking high?"

"I am incapable of getting high", Nines began to explain. Seemingly unaware, or unconcerned, with Gavin's sarcasm "They have let to effectively replicate the effects of human narcotics on androids, although I do hear Thirium-based alcohol is beginning to -"

"You knew what I meant, jackass. Just face it - we've got no DNA, no reliable witnesses, and no more leads to follow" Gavin kicked a pebble across the sidewalk. "Unless that footage is of our suspect waving to the camera and holding up a signed confession, this feels like another dead end."

"Perhaps not" Nines, who had been quietly scoping the surrounding area, pointed to a small store across the road. Following its direction, Gavin caught a glimpse of a peeling wooden sign, which read 'Mikey's Phones and Electronics' in bold red font:

"We can assume that our culprit used a burner phone when they arranged the HR400's services. He would have needed to purchase the SIM somewhere, as well as the phone itself. How convenient that a store nearby could provide him exactly what he was looking for."

Gavin let out a tut, unconvinced by the android's reasoning. "Detroit is a big fucking city. They could have bought that SIM from anywhere - and even if we had a hunch, we'd have no way of tracing it. Thing is probably long gone." 

"Maybe so, but the log we were able to collect of the suspect's call provided us with more than just a location. The phone used for the call was a 2013 Samsung S3. If it so happens that a phone of that model was purchased in that store, with a prepaid SIM included, in the days before the murder..."

"...It would seem like one hell of a tidy coincidence", Gavin conceded with a grumble. "Alright, tin-can, I'll bite. Guess it wouldn't hurt checking out: but if you're wrong about this, I'll fucking dismantle you."

"Duly noted," Nines remarked, nodding gently. "I would suggest we act quickly, however. We have failed to check in with Captain Fowler for quite some time. No doubt he'll be eager to receive an update."

Ok 👉🏼👈🏼

I have a question ??

How do you make your mood boards? I don’t have an artistic bone in my body, so I don’t really draw my characters. Pfp isn’t my art, just my ocs haha.

Anyway some of it is a time/laziness issue. But like, I feel like I could do a mood board.

And I was wondering how you make them, because they’re so pretty ??? Every time I see one of your mood boards—instant dopamine. The colors and 🥺

Sorry for just popping in your ask box, but I was wondering like where do you find pictures, what program you use, stuff like that.

(Also sorry if this is a basic question. I literally have zero experience with any sort of art that’s not writing)

Hi! Don’t apologize, I’m always open for questions like this ^^ (also thanks for the compliment!)

So, making moodboards is pretty easy actually! The secret is finding fitting pictures and a good app to make a collage out of it

Let’s start with the pictures.

I gotta (shamefully) admit that for my latest moodboards I took most of the pictures off of Pinterest (which is always my last choice, but I ran out of good pics and tbh? Everyone else does it and I’m not using it to make money or whatever so I guess I’m fine)

But usually I use sites with free to use pictures like unsplash and pexels. There all you have to do is look for and download the pictures you need. Just type in search words that fit to the character/world you aim for.

I don’t know if you need it, but here’s some things I look for when I make OC moodboards:

a face claim / prominent feature of my character (hair, eyes, whatever)

their favorite color or just one you associate with them

maybe also a texture, like wood or leaves or clouds

the character’s hobby or things they adore (yes this includes food)

everything you associate with them tbh: animals and plants, maybe even an element

symbolism, so things that are important to them or make out a part of their personality (see: a crown as symbol for an OC who’s a queen)

jewelry or clothes they would wear

I personally don’t use this one too often but many people also use fitting quotes

(For me it’s also important to stick to a color scheme and make it all fit together aesthetically, but that’s probably a weird quirk of mine and honestly everyone should do what they prefer. If you rather have it colorful or just want to go with the vibes, go for it!)

Choose as many pictures as you like. Personally I use between five and nine (nine only if I make a “classy” moodboard), but like I said, that’s up to you.

By the way, moodboards aren’t just great for characters but also for character groups, story locations and just story vibes in general (I know you know that already, I just felt like mentioning it ^^)

Okay so now you have all your pictures, but how to turn them into a moodboard?

I do all my moodboards on my phone/tablet, so I use apps to put them together. There’s plenty of collage apps you can use, or just any picture editing app with a collage option (I think most have them).

Just search for “collage”or “photo collage” in your app store and you’ll find many apps you can download for free.

Now to find a good app that fits your needs is up to you and probably requires you to try out different apps to find the one that is best for you.

Some only let you do before mentioned “classic” collages (you know those 3x3 pics that are simply next to each other, like a grid), but there’s also ones with more unique layouts you can use.

I recommend the latter because it gives you more options and makes the moodboard more interesting, but again, just a personal opinion.

I don’t know if it’s available for you, but I use an app called InCollage (it’s only for android though, I think). If you don’t want to use apps I’m sure there’s online programs for these kind of things as well.

And when you found the right pictures and your preferred collage app to use, all that’s left to do is create the moodboard!

Throw all the pictures in a collage and rearrange them however you like. Choose a layout of your liking and a fitting background. I usually go with a color/texture that matches the pictures or my OC’s color. And that’s it!

It can take quite some time to find the right pictures and arrangement (my personal record is spending three hours on a moodboard xD) but it’s really quite simple! And so much fun too!

So that was my (admittedly way too long - sorry for that) guide. I hope I was able to help and wish you lots of fun creating your own moodboards! :)

ON DEMAND APP DEVELOPMENT

On-demand services apps are everywhere – we will hardly imagine a field unknown to the on-demand market. sort of services, speed, convenience, and quality make these apps popular and widely used around the globe. But behind everything, there is a fast, reliable, and easy-to-use platform.

So, the way to approach launching an on-demand application? during this guide, we’re covering what on-demand services there are, what are their types, must-have features and steps to create one – let’s start.

What Is On-Demand Service App?

On-demand delivery software works as a mediator between a customer and a business. a bit like Uber does for cabs, Airbnb for hotels and Zomato for food delivery.

The on-demand platform allows users to order any quiet service and strives to deliver it in minutes. Like booking a ride through Uber.

These apps solve users' major and minor everyday problems. For now, there are on-demand platforms in beauty, education, healthcare, taxi and cargo delivery, food delivery, and lots of other fields. and that we can get all that beauty just by a couple of finger taps.

The on-demand service's app connects customers with different service providers and the other way around. Of course, the platform charges a fee for that. But users from each side often prefer paying extra cash overspending hours checking out the proper specialist/customer.

Thus, on-demand apps offer a faster and more convenient procedure and make their few dollars reciprocally.

Here’s how on-demand apps like Uber work:

1. User places an invitation.

2. App connects them with a service provider.

3. Provider checks the request and accepts it.

4. Payment is permitted.

5. Provider delivers the service.

6. Customer confirms the delivery.

7. Payment is deducted.

The workflow of on demand app development

According to Burson-Marsteller’s survey, 42% of adult Americans have used a minimum of one among on-demand app services. and therefore the number is merely growing.

There are a couple of reasons for such popularity:

Lower costs

On-demand platforms offer lower prices, compared to traditional providers. And cost's often the most driver for buyers.

Availability

Smartphones and tablets are everywhere, so any service with a reliable mobile platform is handy, accessible, and one-click easy to urge.

Adjustment to users’ preferences

On-demand businesses know what their users want, and that they aim to deliver services as fast as possible. as an example, with Jiffy, a home-service platform, you’ll get a plumber to repair the faucet within 2-3 hours, not days.

Various payment methods

Mostly, on-demand apps use Stripe or Braintree payment gateways or e-wallets like PayPal. of these tools are highly secured, fast and reliable. Besides, on-demand delivery apps accept cash also.

Minimum efforts

There’s a choice to save your details like payment info, delivery address, and so on. No got to enter this information again and again with each new order.

Variety

Tens of apps in each category, from babysitting to make-up service, meaning each user can find an answer that works best for them.

Types of On-Demand Apps

As you'll see, there are quite a lot of spheres on-demand services come suitable for. Taxi, meal delivery, dog walking, babysitting, laundry pick-up – on-demand applications seem to be taking care of everything.

So, let’s take a glance at the foremost popular categories and consider leading apps in each.

Taxi Services

The taxi and transportation field benefits from on-demand service apps the foremost. No wonder big players like Uber or Lyft have changed the sport forever. Now, the taxi apps let customers book a car just during a jiffy. All they need to try to is about their destination and await the cab to arrive.

The driver will get a ride request and, if everything's arranged, come to select their passengers.

Eager to build your own Uber-like taxi app? Check our 'How to make an App Like Uber' guide, explaining all the nuances.

Today's on-demand taxi apps offer many new features but the must-haves are:

• Map and GPS navigation that helps customers catch nearby taxis

• Communication channels between riders and drivers

• Advanced feedback system (rates and reviews)

The most well-known taxi apps apart of Uber and Lyft are:

• Flywheel

• Curb

• Free Now

The best-known on-demand taxi services

By the way, we've also worked on a P2P on-demand app called Move Up. It’s a taxi service a bit like Uber or Lyft but targeted both at regular people that need a ride and at those with specific medical needs, bulky items, parents with children, etc.

We had to manoeuvre far away from the Uber-like business model, create a classy filtering system, and permit offline driver's validation. Besides, there are also complex payment capabilities with a free-ride option.

Result? Scalable and versatile platform with integrated GPS technology, Stripe, and other features that helps people find the simplest transport option to meet their needs.

For now, Move-Up features a website and iOS application.

Food Delivery

Using a food on-demand delivery platform, users order meals from nearby eateries after checking the menus. As soon because the customer places an order, the restaurant starts preparing the dish and indicates when the food is going to be ready.

By that point, the courier reaches the eatery, picks the food up and delivers it to the listed address.

The key food delivery apps’ success is, as usually, speed and therefore the simple use. An on-demand app may be a win-win solution for both customers and restaurant owners. Users can easily order food from many places by checking menus within the app. And owners get more orders, thus, more revenue.

The best on-demand delivery platforms within the field are:

• UberEats

• GrubHub

• Instacart

• Doordash

Most popular on-demand food delivery platforms

Household Chores

House cleaning, repairs, dog walking many |and plenty of"> and lots of other everyday tasks take lots of time. And for those that need help with household chores, on-demand apps may be a perfect answer.

For example, if you bought a leakage issue reception, you only post an invitation on the app and a nearby plumber fixes it in no time. Same way, these platforms help with fixing carpentry problems, home appliances, etc.

Apps that have gained popularity during this niche include:

• TaskRabbit

• Merry Maids

• Thumbtack

Household on-demand platforms

Gifts & Flowers Delivery

Forgot about a friend's or relative's birthday or simply happen to be in another city? On-demand delivery startups come to the rescue again. As for now, the delivery of gifts and flowers are one of the solutions to enter the market and gain customers. Apps attract users because of:

• Wide choice of obtainable products;

• Abilities to settle on the delivery time;

• Doorstep delivery.

Today, the leaders during this field are:

• UrbanStems

• Gyft

• Giftagram

Platforms that deliver gifts or flowers

Healthcare

On-demand medical apps connect patients with doctors. So users can ask their physicians one-on-one once they need help. And a bit like during a standard visit, doctors make recommendations.

Of course, no app can look out for great disease, and patients can’t get tested or properly examined without getting to a hospital. But a clear consultation is some things on-demand service apps can deal with.

The best healthcare apps are:

• Doctor on Demand

• Pager

• IsDocin

The most popular healthcare service apps

How to Make an On-Demand App: most vital Steps

Finally, it’s time to seek out where to start out building your own on-demand app. So, let’s determine the way to build an on-demand app, step by step.

1. Do a search

It's a big mistake when investors care only about tech aspects (coding) and ditch the thought. After all, coding just guarantees that the app will run smoothly. But it is the customer research that helps with finding the audience, their pains and problems.

Besides, the research helps with building apps that bring a friendly experience to users.

Here are the most tips:

• Learn about customers. Online behaviours, hobbies, pains and wishes – the more you recognize about future users, the more attractive app you'll build.

• Concentrate on unique functions. On the market, this saturated, the simplest and sometimes the sole thanks to attracting customers is to supply an ingenious solution. nobody wants to download on-demand delivery app clones with the same features.

• Don't attempt to please everyone. albeit you are doing, the app won't be capable of solving all users' issues. specialise in the bulk. Continuous updates aimed to serve all needs cost tons – and there are no guaranteed profit returns.

2. Pick the features

If you’re still unsure of your product’s success or simply want to launch the app as soon as possible, choosing the MVP set could also be the simplest option.

Still, there are some features that just can’t be skipped:

• Registration

• Geolocation (or tracking)

• Notifications

• Payment

(Look for more details about features within the next section).

3. on-demand app development services require many technologies, counting on the choice of platforms. In fact, choosing a platform to create an app for is that the most vital part because it directly relates to customers' media experience. Thus, you'd better launch the app on platforms that are popular among your target users and keep close attention to tech details.

Generally, there are three sorts of platforms you would like to worry about:

• web platform (runs during a web browser)

• native app (e.g. iOS/Android)

• cross-platform technology (cost-effective method for both iOS and Android apps)

Check our 'Native vs. Hybrid App' comparison to seek out out which approach will work for you.

4. Find the proper development team

When everything’s planned and arranged, it’s time to start out trying to find on-demand app developers. Currently, there is two popular options – in-house or outsourced development:

1. In-house teams – great for long-term projects that require 24/7 support and maintenance, but are often very expensive (you’ll need to cover insurance, taxes, salaries, vacation, sick days).

2. Offshore developers – great for both short and future projects, cost-effective (you pays exactly for the work done), and outsourcing teams are able to sign the contract to guard both parties.

Before contacting an on demand app development, it’s always better to make an inventory of features you’d wish to see. But first, you ought to define what percentage of parties are getting to use the platform.

For example, if you are making a taxi, beauty or household service app, two parties are involved – customers and repair providers. And, as business owners must have full control over both parties, an admin panel is another need. But when it involves food delivery, there's another party involved – the eatery which prepares the meal.

Well, there is good news for all the horror stories about illegal downloading of movies from websites and downloading of videos from web videos sites. All those stories are just a part of the reality of getting hold of free movie from any source like movies websites, YouTube, etc.

Most of the movies are available in two versions that are the mainstream version and the niche version. The mainstream version is easily available in all the movie theatres and it has been in circulation for quite some time now. On the other hand, the niche versions have been gaining momentum since the last few years. These are widely watched on the internet and especially on the popular social networking websites like Facebook, MySpace, etc.

Many people have been watching Hindi movies in English recently with great success. It is said that Hindi films are a hit because they portray the real lives of the people. It is the essence of Indian culture to understand the language of people and depict it in the movies.

With the availability of different languages in the country, Hindi films are getting popular day by day. Many new release movies in Hindi and Tamil are also making rounds in the market.

The actresses are also equally popular in the big screen. Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam cinema have received huge popularity from the south Indian stars.

In fact, Tamil movie industry is getting big time. Some of the major players are Rajinikanth, Rana Kapoor, Yash Raj, Suraj Badhja, Alokbars, Mahesh Babu, Dinnanath Mangeshkar, Trupti Tulsi, Subodh Gupta and many more.

Experience the Benefits of Crackle Streaming Service on Your Smart TV

What if you could actually stream free movies online without having to pay a dime? Well, now you can! There are a handful of websites where you are able to access free movies online directly from your computer or laptop and even some of them by means of streaming devices such as an Amazon Fire TV box or a Roku. It's a brilliant way to save on movie costs.

Do you love watching television shows and movies? If you're like me, then you probably have a rather large collection of your favorite programs that you would like to watch over again. This is definitely not the case with most people. Not only are most people limited by the selection of television shows and movies in their local library, but the costs of purchasing each show or movie can really add up! There is hope for people like you and me who are looking for free movies online.

It all starts with the internet. With the development of the android mobile operating system, it is now possible to stream movies directly from your device. This is a relatively new technology that have been around for quite a while, but it is only recently that it has become popular. Almost all android devices are capable of this service. For the interested, here is how it works:

First, you must sign up and get signed up to one of the many free streaming services. These services provide a platform through which you can view free movies online. The movies are usually stored on their own servers so they will not be affected by any type of interruption. As mentioned, this service is currently only available for television shows. It will be a big deal when movies can also be viewed on digital box sets such as the Amazon Fire TV.

Once you're signed up, the site will then show you a list of recent releases and classics that it holds. You can then browse through the list and choose your personal favorites. If you would like to filter your choices based on genre or rating, the site will do that for you.

The library that you choose can also be customized to suit your preferences. To do this, you have to access the YouTube search bar. On the Google search bar, you will type in "yt movies", "play movies on" or "free movie libraries". The search results will come back with a wide variety of options to choose from. Once you find the type of movie that you want to watch, simply hit the download button.

Movies are usually available in two versions, DVD and VCD. The VCDs are usually cheaper, since they have fewer copy marks. If you have purchased a DVD movie before, you might notice that there are cracks in the cover or on the front of the DVD. These are flaws that you can live without because the free movies at YouTube are perfectly intact. Aside from the standard DVD copy, the steel book that is used in the movie stores also come with a crackle, but the crackle is practically unnoticeable.

With this innovative new technology, you no longer need to purchase expensive DVDs or VCDs to store your favorite movies at home. By adding this easy to use smart TV software to your existing library, you are sure to save a lot of money while staying entertained. In addition, the new library you can build using this easy to use internet application will become your most valuable collection ever. Enjoy your movies and stay connected with your friends all the time.

How To Watch Online Movies And TV Series For Free

If your favorite TV has streaming capability then you could use any of the many great free movie streaming websites to watch online movies. Maybe you are not so internet savvy, but that does not mean that you cannot watch online movies now. Actually, it is quite easy to do. You can watch online movies for absolutely free right on your computer, mobile device, etc.

Why should you watch online movies? One reason is because it costs nothing to do. When you go to the movie theatre you pay for that movie ticket in addition to sales taxes, and you also pay a babysitter for babysitting you while you are watching the movie. Now think about how much money all of this adds up to and you might begin to wonder if it is better to just watch online fmovies instead.

Another reason to watch online movies is that when you watch your TV shows or movies there is no pause time while you wait for the next episode. With an internet connection you can get online and start watching your TV shows or movies and then when you want to get more information on the movies you are watching you just go back to the website and get more info on the movie. You can rewind and forward through the film as many times as you want.

Most of these websites offer several kinds of movies and pay-per-view choices. If you do a little research you will find plenty of websites offering new movies being added daily.

There are many reasons to watch online movies for free. There are also many free movie sites where you can watch free movie on the computer. A few years ago, it was almost impossible to watch free online movies because of all of the paid subscription television channels and movies that were available. But now almost every kind of movie you could think of is available quickly and easily. With some of these sites you even have options with a lot of different genres of movies to watch.

Many people are able to save money by watching free online movies. With a lot of the new release movies on pay-per-view basis, they are not actually free. If you know where to look, you can often find movies on pay-per-view that are absolutely free to watch online. The internet offers a wide variety of new releases and popular movies. It is also possible to find new releases in your local video store, which means you don't have to waste a whole weekend driving all over town to see if the new release DVD is in stock.

Other ways to save money on entertainment expenses are by watching more than one show at home or on the television at home. There are many people who watch a variety of different shows and channels including sports, movies, comedy, reality shows and more. By combining multiple subscription services including pay per view, cable, satellite, and home entertainment you can save a lot of money on your entertainment costs.

One last way to save money when watching free movies online is by putting a little aside each month. When putting away money, be sure to put the money in a good savings account. If you do this, it will be easy to pay for the television each month. Another option you may want to consider is putting the money toward a subscription to a sports magazine or a news station. You can even put the money toward your car insurance.

People love the ease at which they can access the latest releases. One site that has been recently added to the list of top choices is popcornflix. This website offers the user a chance to watch all the latest releases in high definition. Not everyone can afford to go out to buy all the films that are being released in cinemas.

The latest addition to this growing list of movie streaming service is the Contv. TV. This site offers free access to a good number of channels and shows including popular movies. The best part of this is that it allows the user to find anything they want to watch. The show schedule contains full episode details and the user can also find out when the next movie premier is taking place.

If the recent additions of Yahoo and Google do not satisfy you, then there is no harm in turning to the other two streaming sites. Moviepalm is one of the free movie streaming sites without registration. The site offers the user a choice of paid membership or free membership. With the free membership, the user is allowed to watch as many videos as they want without paying an extra fee. On the other hand, with a paid membership, users can enjoy more features and better picture quality.

This site ranks very well among the other sites. Users can search for the exact genre they want to view and this makes the browsing much easier. It is worth noting that the movie search feature is one of the best features of this streaming service and it helps the users to locate the exact shows they are looking for.

Moviepaleo is another of the free movie streaming sites without membership. The site offers a wide variety of shows. The site also offers video game information as well. While some of the shows on this site are adult oriented, most of them are family friendly. It is worth noting that the best time to visit this site is during the weekdays as this will help the users to avoid the movie marathon weekends. Given its good selection and ease of use, it is the best choice among the online channels for those who are looking for a free place to watch online movies.

Nier Automata: [A]fterthoughts

Game: Nier Automata: Become As Gods Edition (June 26, 2018)

Console: Xbox One (Via Xbox Game Pass)

Alright so I’m trying something a little different this time with my opinions on a game. Usually I will share this on Twitter in a thread. However, I feel like I’m having more and more to say on games I play lately. And Twitter threads just don’t feel right for sharing massive amounts of text. So I thought I’d give this a shot now. However, this isn’t meant to be a review or an indication of whether or not YOU should try the game. This is just me pouring my heart out about what I’ve played and giving my honest opinions about what I just experienced. This is just for anyone interested, and I highly recommend you try out this game and any other game I choose to talk about in the future, to get your own opinions on how you feel for it.

As such, this isn’t a very well written piece either. It’s mostly just me throwing up thoughts into a post. But, if that’s your thing or you’re just curious about what I have to say, you can read my huge info dump on my feelings about Nier Automata in the readmore! 

Spoiler Warning for some parts of the game, including the finale and ending.

Opening

About 2 days ago, I sat down and beat Nier Automata for the first time. And after sitting on it for a bit, I’m ready to talk about my time with it. I wasn’t originally planning on doing a big thing for playing this game (I was saving it for a different game.) But plans got sidetracked, and by that I mean Microsoft had a sale on 3 months of Game Pass for $1. And I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try it out. I was really excited to see they had the game on the service, as I’ve been wanting to play it since it came out. So naturally, I jumped at the chance.

Stuff I liked

Honestly, I really liked this game. I thought was cool and loved a lot of the topics it covered, as they’re things I really enjoy seeing games tackle. Evolution of life, the existence of religion and our relationships with god and death, strange surreal things, androids and robots becoming more than just androids and robots. The story has so many aspects I really loved seeing. A highlight for me was seeing the robots start to become sentient and deal with grief, family bonds, how they should live outside of what they were programmed to do. It was endlessly fascinating to me.

Game also had tons of fantastic characters. I think my favorites may have been 6O and Pascal, if I’m being honest with myself. But also also really liked all 3 of the main playable Androids, and I found myself falling totally in love with the pods too. There’s tons of other great and interesting characters you don’t even get to play as or see that much, it has a fantastic cast I really loved. Particularly, I thought the designs of the androids were really interesting. Dressed in all black with white hair is a cool aesthetic. My favorite design may have been 2B’s, obviously I thought she was really hot. But I think her outfit is actually very cool and classy in a way that understands how to make a character hot without just being in your face about it? If that makes sense. I also really loved A2′s look, being able to see her joints is a really cool underused aspect for an android design. I wasn’t super into the robots themselves at first, but I found myself really loving how they looked by the end of it. Their weird and minimalist designs really leant themselves to the sad and peculiar story they had to tell.

Nier has a fantastic gameplay style too. I was shocked to learn that it was a Bullet Hell! Bullet Hells and Shmups are my “secret favorite” genre, that I really love but rarely actually tap into. I thought the game had really fun use of Bullet Hell gameplay, with fun Shmup sections and fun action RPG sections. I was particularly impressed with how much fun the crossover of the two genres would be. Fighting back against a bullet hell in this type of gameplay style was incredibly fun and endearing. And I think it handles these two completely different genres really well in a pretty cool way. I also loved being able to get multiple weapons for the androids and pods, though I did mostly stick with the same the whole way through. Just the standard weapons and the beast slayer. Plus the laser for my pod. Hey, if it works, why fix it, right? I also really liked the chip system. I had a ton of fun figuring out which chips suited my style the most, and I liked feeling powerful because of them.

Outside of all that, the game looks and sounds AMAZING. The aesthetics particularly really got to me. I’m a huge fan of cities and buildings reclaimed by nature, and I’m a huge fan of sci-fi aesthetics mixed with modern and medieval aesthetics. And the game has both of these used in really great ways. Mix in some of the weird and creepy visuals thrown in throughout some of the game’s darker and sadder scenes? And it’s beautiful. I thought the music was really good too. I wasn’t crazy about it while playing it. But listening to it in the background while writing this makes me realize how good of an OST it is. I really love Pascal’s village theme, Treasured Times, and the credits music.

I also really adored a lot of the interested 4th wall breaks and ways they play with game mechanics and tie them into the functionality of the androids. A scene that really comes to mind is that the settings are actually your android settings. And having to go through them for the story mode, then getting to see it again as 9S. I also thought parts where your vision gets glitched out was very interesting, and things like that were really charming to me.

One of my favorite parts of the game, was absolutely the finale. Huge spoilers for this part obviously. I was teetering between not really liking the game anymore, and loving the game by the end. So the finale was really going to make or break it for me. But ultimately, I think the finale was AWESOME. Having to play as the pods fighting the credits to get a better ending was really cool and genuinely exciting to me. I had a total blast blazing through one final, tough bullet hell finale. Also, seeing all the cool little messages players left was so nice and genuinely heartwarming. I got messages from the USA, Mexico, even one from North Korea! It was so cool! And such a good idea. And getting help from everyone at the end was so awesome. Ultimately, I chose to give up my save data because the ending scene was actually pretty tough for me and I’m not that bad at bullet hells. So I figured it’d be selfish not to lend someone a hand out there in the world. (plus... to be fair, when my game pass expires, I won’t be playing this game much more lol.)

Stuff I didn’t like

With all that praise though, I don’t necessarily think the game was perfect either though. There was a lot of stuff that really rubbed me the wrong way. The gameplay had a lot of stuff that just didn’t feel right and was oddly frustrating. A big one for me was the lock on just being completely useless for some parts of the game, jumping around the enemies far off when there was something right in front of me ready to get hit. It made killing some enemies genuinely more challenging than needed. A huge issue I had with the gameplay was actually that there aren’t enough Shmup sections in the flight units. Most of them take place in hacking sections, which, in my opinion. Aren’t that fun, or at least considerably less fun than the way superior flight unit sections. And that’s the type of gameplay the ending uses. Which is a shame.

And there are some parts I sang praises about but I still have issues with. Like, I enjoy the game messing with the way you play because you’re controlling androids. But when you have to walk somewhere and the game disables your movement, or you have to kill something and the game disables your combat. It’s mostly just annoying. I really love the concept, and I think it’s not THAT bad. But it’s still annoying enough that I thought to mention it. And while I didn’t run into this issue, the really cute and touching aspects of the finale. Are you just completely locked out of them if you can’t pay for online? That really sucks and kind of kills the vibe of that ending. Same with having to delete your save data to help others. It’s cute! But why is it there? It all just feels so antagonizing for no reason.

I also had a big issue with Story B. You play through nearly the entirety of Story A again as 9S. Normally, I love stuff like this. Sonic games come to mind right away for games I enjoy that do this. But for Story B, it is the exact same game and story with minimal changes through it. Sure the opening and towards the ending, it’s different. But mostly, it’s identical. And then there’s just small snippets of way more interesting stuff with the way robots became sentient lightly peppered in to break up the monotony of doing the same thing twice. This second playthrough should’ve focuses HEAVILY on the robots. Even if it’s from 9S’ perspective, more should’ve been changed to show the robots. The part with the singing robot was BRUTAL, and I LOVED it. But you get very few new scenes like that. Perhaps Story B should’ve followed Pascal or a random enemy robot instead of 9S. Considering you also play as 9S for a lot of Story C. Imagine how gut wrenching it would be if Story B followed a random enemy robot evolving and learning about life and free will, only to get killed at the end by 9S or A2 or something. Idunno.

There’s also some gripes with the story. A big one is the fact that, and this is a HUGE spoiler. But 2B doesn’t feel like the main character. It feels like the main character is 9S, who I like, but isn’t as cool as 2B by a long shot. You barely play as 2B or even A2. SO MUCH of the game feels like it’s all about 9S and I gotta be honest, I’m not that interested in 9S. I like him, but maybe we could learn some more about the robots and their interesting problems instead of just seeing more about how 9S is so smart and awesome and genius so he has to be killed a bunch. Speaking of which, I don’t think I care for that aspect of 2B either? She has to kill 9S over and over because he keeps learning the truth about Yorha. In the end, even 2B is just a part of 9S’ story. Maybe that’s just me though. I feel like that whole concept could’ve been removed, and you could’ve had 2B and 9S having to deal with learning about the truth together. idk.

Overall, my biggest complaint is just that the game spends a little too much time on 9S and not enough time on all the interesting aspects it skims over. Again, the robots, I talked about this at length but I really would’ve loved to learn more about them. How about the existential reality that androids and robots have been fighting a meaningless war for dead masters for centuries? WHAT THE HELL WAS EMIL? There’s so much cool stuff in the world of Nier Automata that feels like it’s all skimmed over in favor of stuff that just didn’t really need to be there? I think a lot of these are relegated to sidequests, but they should’ve been a part of the main story. Maybe it’s just me.

Final Thoughts

Well, even after all those complaints and nitpicks. I have to say, I liked Nier Automata. I think it’s a cool game that explores things I thought most people weren’t interested in exploring. Both in its world and its gameplay. Especially not from a big triple A title. Some of these are things I’d like to explore in my own games so it’s nice to see a game with an interest in the same weird topics as me. I’m certainly interested in this series. I only own Drakengaurd, but I’d like to give it and Nier a shot sometime in the future if I can.

I like the hopeful nature of the ending and I liked the emotions I felt through the whole playthrough. Even when the game was scary and sad, I still had a good time with it, and I hope somewhere out there in the multiverse, the characters are living a much better life in peace.

Thank you so much for reading, or just skimming through. Or just scrolling to the end! I appreciate it a lot! This is my first time really writing up my feelings about a game in a huge more organized way like this, and I hope you enjoy it. I’m certainly going to try and do more stuff like this in the future, maybe I’ll still make some of them twitter threads if I’m lazy or don’t have much to say lol. But, regardless, thanks for your time! I hope you have a fantastic evening! Play a video game that makes you feel something :)

A big box o’Gwenvid AU ideas: A is for "Aww” and “Angst” and “AAAH”

This post is fucking rad as balls, and I started thinking of fun AU ideas . . . until I remembered that I already have approximately 2 billion WIPs already and don’t necessarily know if any of these have legs as actual fics. But it was fun to think about, so here we are! This is the first of . . . presumably 26 of these? Who knows, but this post we have:

Accidental Marriage AU

In which Campbell convinces incredibly wealthy investors known for their focus on “family values” that the Camp is a sweet family business run by a husband-and-wife team of counselors. The problem, of course, is that it isn’t sweet and its head counselors aren’t married. Campbell only has enough booze to fix one of those situations. 

He’ll figure the rest out in the morning. He thinks better with a hangover, anyway.

(Yes I think this one would be awesome in Campbell’s POV. You cannot change my mind on this.)

Actor AU

Okay, real talk this would just be @whiskyarts​‘s gameshow AU. Because I kinda love the idea of Jerk!David who just pretends to be a sweetheart for the cameras. Except I would cover it with my filthy Gwenvid hands and make it shippy in that antagonistic-hatemance-eventually-turns-into-something-resembling-feelings. There would be lots of angst and snark and sparkly clothes and I would love it and probably no one else would.

Alien AU

An Interplanetary Anthropologist, Gwen, manages to land a position on the Campbell after years of education and networking and plain old hard work. She is an employee of the most impressive warship in the galaxy -- sure, it’s gone to seed a little bit in the last few decades, but it still has its shine if you look at it sideways and squint a little -- and more importantly, it’s work experience! Paid work experience . . . as a janitor.

When the Campbell picks up a POW that the ship’s commander plans to (illegally) sell to the highest bidder, Gwen decides to treat it as an opportunity to build a real-life case study on one of the universe’s rarer life forms while it’s within arm’s reach. But the more she learns about the strange, sunny alien who was his platoon’s only survivor, the more uncomfortable she is with letting him disappear into her captain’s nefarious dealings and -- 

Oh fuck, this is The Shape of Water, isn’t it? I mean, I’ve never seen The Shape of Water but I’m pretty sure that’s what this is. Fuck. Goddamn it. Fuck.

Amnesia AU

David takes a rogue bus to the . . . well, everything -- something that’s more or less routine by now -- and hits his head hard enough to knock him out for almost a full day. When he wakes up, he’s the same cheerful David the camp is used to . . . except for three strange new things:

He doesn’t know where he is or what he’s doing -- doesn’t, in fact, remember anything after some vague memories of childhood.

He’s completely terrified of the forest, and especially of Spooky Island.

He has no idea who Cameron Campbell is, but he’s quite positive he hates him.

Android AU

Actually @ciphernetics​ and I put this idea together a little while ago! Basically Camp Campbell has a state-of-the-art off-brand helper android named David, who is a perfect camp counselor, childcare provider, and comes equipped with the finest Forest Survival software Cameron Campbell could find for free online in half an hour.

Gwen, the new (requisite human) hire, hasn’t ever really interacted with androids, and doesn’t especially want to now. David is used to the distrust, even outright hostility -- very few of the campers seem to like him, and he knows that his presence can be unsettling to humans, and look, it isn’t a D:BH AU okay? It just looks like one, and acts like one. And is one.

Angel/Demon AU

Um the perfect Angel/Demon AU literally already exists, but they only wrote one chapter back in 2017 and never updated, and that makes me absurdly sad. Regardless, David being very bad at being a demon and Gwen being very bad at being an angel is the ideal setup for this kind of AU, in my humble opinion. 

However, David being an angel trying to reform his fallen ABFEL (angel buddy for eternal life!), who probably became a demon over something stupid and probably horny, also sounds extremely cute. They’re still friends, even though that is against literally all of the rules, and they secretly meet and hang out. David is convinced he can bring her around, and Gwen insists that she hates having him hanging off her nonexistent wings all the time. 

Honestly, probably neither of those things are true. Gwen wasn’t cut out for heaven -- and probably, neither is David.

Apocalypse AU

Cameron Campbell was probably doing something dangerously stupid in the hopes it could make him money. That, or the Quartermaster was doing something dangerous for reasons only he could ever understand. Hell, maybe that’s what that weird Daniel guy’s cult was trying to do. Whoever was doing what, they ripped a hole in their dimension at the bottom of Lake Lilac, and all sorts of awful things start creeping through.

There were signs, of course -- that weird fish-monster certainly didn’t come in through customs -- but an inopportune explosion, or wayward firework, or the rumblings of Sleepy Peak Peak, or something ripped a hole in the fabric of reality big enough for Lovecraftian monsters to start crawling through. There’s no stopping it. Really, there’s no chance of even fighting it. 

The second the rift opens, the story becomes one of just trying to stay out from under the Elder Gods’ feet.

Arranged Marriage AU

I think the easiest way to make this one work is by making either David or Gwen Campbell’s actual biological child -- maybe an heir, albeit to a highly illegal fortune and a mountain of credit card debt. But Campbell gets in trouble, the kind of trouble where he’s gambled everything and the only collateral he has left is a kid he got saddled with because their mother had better lawyers. A kid he’s been more than happy to put to work for the last 20-something years, who happens to have caught the eye of a ludicrously wealthy magnate -- not for her own sake (though Campbell would’ve been open to that too) -- but for her child, one she loves more than anything and keeps carefully shut away until the Right Person comes along.

His kid isn’t necessarily the right person, but for the first time in his life Cameron Campbell has a genuine treasure on his hands.

And, like all the fake treasures he’s passed off over the years, he just has to find a way to shine them up and make him a fortune.

Artist AU

Gwen is a starving artist living in a rat-infested hovel in the city, scraping by on a series of uninspired landscapes she paints on postcards and the goodwill of friends, family, and significant others. One day, a bright young man bounces up to her “studio” (it’s a cardboard box outside the park) and tells her excitedly that he’s been looking for her for weeks; he thinks her postcards are the most beautiful things he’s ever seen, and he would like to know if she’d be interested in moving down to a cabin by the lake. He runs a summer camp, he explains, and he knows they’d all be honored if she would teach them art lessons -- and of course paint in her spare time! The views are indescribable, and he’s sure she’ll have no shortage of inspiration.

She weighs the cost of what little artistic dignity she has remaining against room, board, and a steady paycheck for three months, and takes the job immediately.

Art Student AU

Put them in an art college -- maybe condense the ages so that the campers are like, younger students? -- and have Gwen as the Serious Art Student who cares a lot about theory and form and doing things right, and she’s constantly irritated by her classmate David, who sits at the same table as her and has declared them art buddies, and is convinced that the point of art is just to have fun and do your best! Maybe force them to do a group project together and really see them clash.

(Alternatively, there is the infinitely more shameless route of one being an art student and the other being a newd model for figure drawing. I am obviously much too classy to ever insinuate such a thing, but if someone was really looking for a way to write smuht . . . it’s sitting right there. On a table. nekkid. I HAVE TO CHANGE THE SPELLING TO MAKE THIS GO IN THE TAGS ARE YOU KIDDING ME)

Athlete AU

There are 4 major ways this one can go, I feel like:

Basically HSM: Gwen is a small part in her school’s musical (techie, maybe, or the orchestra) and lanky jock David -- which is the most hilarious phrase ever but he’s probably a runner or tennis player, something light on muscles and heavy on speed and springiness -- who’s well-mannered and cheerful but not the brightest, is put into the show as an extra-credit way to bump up his GPA so he can keep sporting his sports, and it turns out he’s both very good at and super enthusiastic about it.

A little like HSM, but as grown-ups: Gwen is the head of the drama/art department, which has just faced heavy cuts to support the superstar sports program, and she furiously storms over to the head coach’s office to let him know exactly what she thinks about him and his stupid meathead jocks. Of course, when the man who opens the door is a sweetheart beanpole with big eyes who already knows her name, she finds it hard to keep up her righteous indignation. And when it turns out that he was completely ignorant of the hit her department took from the budget cuts (or maybe not ignorant, just terminally oblivious) and is almost as upset as she is to hear about it, she’s forced to reconsider everything she’d assumed about Coach Greenwood; maybe he’s not the enemy after all, but someone with whom she can formulate a new battle plan.

Reporter/Famous Athlete AU: Either Gwen is a professional sportsball person and David is the shy, bumbling photographer eager to prove himself, or she’s the plucky, intrepid reporter and David is a good-natured professional athlete who she’s determined to interview.

Teammates AU: Professional or amateur sports team, and they’re just trying to scrape their way out of the bottom of the league without killing each other. 

Author AU

There are a lot of potential interpretations of this AU, but my personal favorite is Gwen as a novelist with two distinctly differing careers: as G. E. Santos, the high-concept writer whose books are critical darlings in the maybe 3 publications that care about such things but whose sales can’t quite crack the triple digits; and as Annabelle Elizabeth, whose steamy erotica regularly tops the bestseller lists and is reviled by all of G. E.’s colleagues as “populist genre trash.” 

The only person alive who knows about her Jekyll-and-Hyde author personas (besides her older sister Audree, who plays the part of charismatic and sensual Annabelle flawlessly) is her editor, David. He’s an odd choice, as her colleagues in both fields have pointed out -- reading her romance novels with his pen in one hand and the other covering his eyes, peeking through his fingers to write tremulous notes in the margins; stumbling through her ponderous literary works with a dictionary in his lap and his tongue between his teeth, poring through them like he’s learning a new language -- but he’s the only person Gwen will allow to touch her writing. 

Maybe it’s because he always seems like her biggest fan. Maybe it’s because she’s known him since they were at a summer camp together years ago. Maybe it’s because he believes in her in a way no one else does -- in a way she absolutely doesn’t believe in herself.

David is, for reasons she’s not entirely sure how to explain even to herself, the only person she trusts.

Avian (Bird People) AU

Centuries ago, it was said, avians were a rarity, an aberrant mutation to be locked up and intently studied but never trusted. Some people thought they were antichrists, a sign of the end times, when all normal humans would be destroyed and only the strange bird-people would remain.

In a way, maybe they were. Because when the earth’s crust ripped open and flooded the planet with magma and boiling water miles deep, avians were the only ones who could take to the sky.

Not all of them, certainly. In fact, most were locked up in detention centers and laboratories when the Swamp formed, and were unable to escape in time. Considering the people who could get to high enough elevations to escape the deluge, there were decades afterwards where the decimated human population outnumbered the avian one. Those were periods of tension, outright war and tentative alliances -- even romances, the kinds of great love stories that dragged both avian and human populations a few generations along when one or both of them should’ve died out.

That was over two hundred years ago, however. Now the Swamp is a murky expanse of scalding water and the boiled remains of civilization transformed into unrecognizable muck, with islands of “land” cobbled out of what remains. This is where the avians live, now. And humans don’t live anywhere, not anymore.

At least . . . that was what they thought.
