Old West AU

Welcome to Dry River. You're a long way from home partner. It’s the mid 1800s and this dusty little frontier town isn’t much of a landmark but the local color might make your stay interesting.

Cut some cards at the rowdy saloon. Stay at the inn and pay for a little company. Or take a job as a farmhand if you just need to make a quick buck and buy your ticket out of here.

Keep your nose clean though. Train robbers, card cheats and bandits have been known to pass through these parts. But you wouldn’t know nothin’ about that, would you?

It’s a Wild West AU. Establish yourself as a local or a stranger and rustle up some adventure or romance.

☙ DRY RIVER TRIBUNE

-GOLD FOUND IN COLSPRING; PROSPECTORS RUSH TO DRY RIVER -

A group of panners are rumored to have found gold in the banks of nearby Colspring Creek. Since their find, Dry River has been awash with strangers from far and wide looking to stake a claim over every square mile of Colspring. A few local families with property on Colspring are already being offered cash for their acreage sight-unseen but local law experts encourage residents to check their deeds and speak to legal counsel before cutting any deals with foreign buyers.

One of my favourite AUs, for those who like a little alien with their cowboys.

The mysterious lawman known best as The Manhunter, John Jones, a stoic and outwardly cold man with no home but no end of stories about his feats. If he's in town, he's passing through or chasing down some seriously bad hombre. Few, if any, know he is not even human- a stranger from the stars protecting his adopted home... especially from other supernatural threats humans can't so easily deal with as a man from Mars.
