The premise of the story is that they don't have to technically meet and all is independent. But twists could be thrown in where one character meets another named "Emily" but in another story, the character doesn't trust the other character and throws out a fake name.

But mainly, they would be ending up in the same locations but maybe at different times, they will be doing certain things and maybe another individual will see them but not actually interact with them etc.

I'm considering making a map and signifying where each individual is at certain time periods before writing in interactions.

Yeah, maps make things a lot easier

True. But it's a pain to build up one. Why? I want this and that and then that and this... goes on forever. Non-stop editing...

*Was going to say something here, but it seems like too big a spoiler to release. Anyways, gotta put this story to the side for a week or two. Stupid school. (Though, I have a lot of times on the weekends, but I'm doing a little more "research" before writing some of the aspects. )

If you do want a map, make a timeline first, then a map

Lol... I started with a narration by a personality I'm going to dub the "Hunter". Maybe I'll toss an excerpt in a few days or something. I need to finish some projects first.
