Hathian XXX Shop

By Perina McGinnis

TYPE: CD Official Business

SLURL: Hathian

BACKGROUND: The XXX Shop is one of CD's oldest businesses, and I'd be so thrilled to step up to the plate. I don't necessarily want to shift it into any new radical direction, but more breathe more life into it again. Being right across from TT's, PA, & the Rub 'n Tug, could build or renew relationships with those businesses, giving discounts on toys, referrals, etc. The shop can also sponsor any like-minded event that the new Theater house might have, or parties at CU. I know we have at least one, if not two, porn production companies around CD, so could arrange signings. As for my character, she's a freelance writer since leaving the paper, taught a class at CU, & works the 24 Hour Pawn Shop for more steady income while she awaits her next move. Having that IC experience in the past running two Hathian businesses, she knows these ropes a bit. Having talked with Beck, Peri could approach him to buy him out IC (& Blu too if he's around), retaining him in a supervisory capacity.

UNIQUE: I do believe this is the only porn shop on sim, but I'd also liek to brainstorm some ways to make it more visible, be it through advertisements in the paper, maybe a flyer occasionally around town. It attracts a less innocent sort, that's for sure, but I think that covers 85% of CD!

EXPERIENCE:I was previously a GM here in CD, as well as ran two businesses prior: the Hathian Observer for a few years, and Comiquities before that. I've experience running a sim as well moderation, and while I've been on break from such for a few months now, I've been itching to get involved in a project again. My character is currently working at the pawn shop & occasionally teaches at CU while she figures her next step. Thankfully, patience is a big trait I learned in my years in SL and on RP sims, so I'm willing to put in the time and stick to this without getting discouraged by slow times.

IDEAS:I've always seen the porn shop as a good starting point for new players, especially those who like a seedier side of roleplay. It's first and foremost a retail store, so it's easy to engage anyone who comes in the door, old or new. I personally like rping with anyone! Especially those who I don't often to get interact with. One way to link new players in is to do interviews with those who hire on, and periodically do 'performance reviews' (all IC!) to help keep them interested. If someone's been around for awhile, doing promotions, too. It's been my experience, though, that simply being around when they are is effective.

OTHER:For a grand re-opening, I'm thinking one of those simple BBQ + Sale types of things would work best, especially since there's some good sidewalk space here to use. Open to suggestions (on this and anything above!)
