The idea behind #CompellingDestiny came to me one day when I was considering AU story lines for Bella Swan. As much as I love everything about the #twilightsaga I have always wondered what her life would be like if she had chosen a completely human existence. Bella had always had ambitions to go to university and eventually become a teacher, following in the foot steps of her hair brain mother Renee.
I've always loved the idea of her enrolling in college, becoming more confident in herself and generally making her own way in life, free from the supernatural elements. Enrolling her at #NYU seemed the obvious next step in my story for Bella. What will she be without her fellow students and teachers and what would happen to the people she leaves behind? These are the things I contemplated next.
Long Story short, #CompellingDestiny was born.

So our one year anniversary has been around and we're still going incredibly strong. This is thanks to the wonderful writers and imaginitive minds I encounter everyday and who I'm lucky enough to have in the family. As time goes by we venture further afield and I can speak for my character when I say the possibilities are endless within this group. Heres to the year to come, may we grow and continue to enjoy our creative adventures.

The idea of Compelling Destiny is coming close to it's one year birthday. The idea started long before the site actually came to formation, almost half a year before, but when you want to do something right it takes time. Why Bella came to me with the idea I'll never know. Crazy woman seemed to trust me after knowing for less time than the family is old. But we made it happen. And it's a continuous process. It takes up a lot of my spare time but it's worth it to see all of the great ideas being played out by even better people. We're proud of all of our members and chances are I've told each member in person. This is because I spend a lot of time talking with new members, helping them get to grips with their characters and SL's as best as possible. Everything is so much easier and more enjoyable when you know what you're doing.
And it could easily be said than I'm too lenient with members, but when we find someone who is perfect for the role why send them on their way for the smallest of things. Hell, chances are I've broken the majority of the rules myself but Bella won't kick me out... Only because I've written so many of the SL's. Once I'm out of ideas, I'm fairly certain I'm fucked.
We're very lucky to have managed to get a site up and going successfully, I see too many people give up in the early stages and without Bella's way with people I'm sure I'd have given up too. But so far we've managed, remained drama free the entire time and we couldn't have done that without the help of our brilliant sister sites.

Being the newbie of the amazing admin team, you would expect a lot of the same things to come from me that everyone else has said. But the truth is, I have been idly watching the family from afar since they day they set foot on the TL. Catching bits and pieces at first to being drawn into most of the SLs in play. I was impressed by what I saw coming from the family. The creative ideas, the quality of the writing and the unique faces. I contemplated joining a few times until I made some amazing friends who encouraged me to check into things further. Coming here was one of my best decisions I’ve made in my many years of being in RP.. The freedom I’ve been given from Bradley and Bella has given me back my love for being part of a family again. If I had things to do over, I would have joined a long time ago.

The Serious Bit....
- We are strictly 18+, if you're under that age this isn't the place for you.
- In general we prefer that you RP in a prose format at least once a fornight on the TL out of consideration for those involved with your SL. If you cannot for some reason please approach an admin to let us know how long you will be away.
- When writing a solo for your character, we ask for a minimum of ten tweets. We cannot see why this would be a problem.
- NO DRAMA will be accepted within this group. Understandably people can disagree from time to time but if you have any problems with other group members please DM an Admin to air your concerns and we will help you resolve the matter discreetly.
- The #NYU portion of the site is full of OC characters. We ask that you make an admin aware of your storyline ideas so that we can keep track of the character and update the site with story details.
- An OOC account is optional here.
- Add the #CompellingDestiny or #CD hashtag to your bio upon joining as well as the URL for this site in the link space.
#CompellingDestiny has a members list that is updated regularly, when you join be sure to follow all the other members. If an existing member has a storyline in progress or planned, in general we will consult them before accepting another member that they wish to RP with. Try to be creative as possible in your story telling. Try to vary from ALWAYS RPing as the same person or the same scenario. Lastly, Respect group members and other twitter users and enjoy, we are all here to share our stories! Can't wait to hear from you!
Bella, Brad & all admins
