Philadelphia as a setting

How should I handle it?

Salix Babylonika · 2015-11-15 10:30:03

in a Philadelphian fashion

Anonus · 2015-11-15 10:40:44

Well I was thinking it should be the setting for my sitcom.

Why do you want to set your sitcom in Philadelphia, exactly?

I was thinking about setting my novels in Philadelphia. Well, a fantasy version of it where superheroes and/or Marvel-style mutants are a thing.

Just, please, literally anywhere but New York

Because I never set anything there

Its other prospective setting is Pittsburgh

Sredni Vashtar · 2015-11-15 20:38:09

Why not Denver? You live there.

I considered it as a setting, but I worried it didn't fit the premise well enough.

Sredni Vashtar · 2015-11-15 20:57:42

What premise?

Anonus · 2015-11-15 20:58:48

The whole "teenage girl dealing with pressure from sports-obsessed family and her own confusion over what it means to be a girl" thing. >_>

It's stupid, I know.

(Denver isn't really a sports town. People here love the Broncos, but that is it. It doesn't help that our other pro teams seem to enjoy relevance, at most, once a decade)

that actually sounds like a refreshingly intelligent premise for a sitcom.

Provided it were handled well, of course.

On the one hand, that is potentially rather interesting. On the other...

You could literally set that anywhere. And seeing as I don't think you've ever been here, I think there's a lot of room for you to get things really, really wrong.

Anonus · 2015-11-15 21:08:45

what kinds of things?

(With Cirque du Yogi, which I set the "real" parts of in Los Angeles, I have to do a LOT of Street Viewing sometimes to determine where things are)

Salix Babylonika · 2015-11-15 21:09:05

Honestly when I think "sports-obsessed" my mind immediately goes to Texas, but you'd have to ask Epitome about how true that is.
