Wow. So many awesome towns in this thread.
Hollow is my first AC town, and I just said yes to the first option offered by Rover, which has had good points and bad points. Good points: cherries, the type of grass that goes to stars when it wears down, only one pool, only five rocks. Bad points: EVERYTHING ELSE. so much river. augh.
Overview:
The town has grown up organically over time and never really had much of an intent behind it, being my first time with an AC game and everything, but I've now decided I'm going to go for a sort of dark fantasy vibe. There aren't a lot of PWPs at the moment because the mayor is Scrooge McDuck and refuses to pay for anything. We have a Narnia cedar forest with a streetlight in the middle (work in progress, need more cedars). Outside of Narnia, we grow lemons, durians and perfect cherries, though the latter were only really there for money and I'm probably going to replace most of them with more durians. I like durians. We have some natty little wooden board over water paths. When you come out of the station the first thing you'll see is the big main avenue with durian trees and orange pansies. Paths are slowly being lined with black roses and/or orange pansies (work in progress) and the pool is going to be surrounded by blue violets when I grow enough of them. I haven't traded for anything except a few bits of furniture, so all the hybrids are native grown.
Our river is xbox hueg which required the building of three wooden bridges to make the place navigable. There's a lighthouse, a stone tablet, an iron bench, a little fence with some lilies in it, an instrument shelter, a police station, and I think that's about it for PWPs.
The mayor's house, affectionally known to friends as the Murder Shack, has all the corrugated iron bits, and when Nook gets round to stocking the right upgrade I intend to turn it into a Murder Castle. Only one person so far has recognized my cosplay :'(
If I could start over I'd like a more interesting town name, but I can't see myself ever restarting. To me, this town IS Animal Crossing.
Villagers:
I don't do the dreamie thing, I like to let people move in and out as they choose. I was intending to avoid importing the ZOMGPOPULAR villagers and keep things original and fresh in Hollow, until that jerk Marshal decided to move in a couple days ago. Bah. Hipster cred = ruined forever.
Egbert was one of my starters and is my BFF bro for life, or he would be if he'd stop sending me creepy gifts (makeup case? lacy tank top? Egbert we are both dudes, what are you trying to say here)
Other starters (all still here): Tipper, Rudy, Wolfgang, Bertha
Other villagers: Marcel (wifi movein), Fuchsia (wifi movein, plot just showed up today - don't even know what she is yet), Phoebe, Marshal
Today:
Marcel asked for something to replace his sleek table, and never one to turn down a job, I went off to look. Turned out there was nothing 2x1 in Retail, nothing in my closets, nothing in the Nook store and nothing in the trees so unless I wanted to give him something out of my own house I was kinda stuck. Too late in the day to order anything either. I went to the island and found mermaid couch on offer - that'd do. He must've been impressed at getting a fancy non-reorderable island item because he gave me his pic in return. Now hopefully he puts that mermaid couch up in Retail so I get it back LOL. It really won't match his decor.
Other than that... found I'd caught Fuchsia off someone yesterday, caught a blowfish in the sea (didn't even know those existed), got a lab chair from a very nice person on this forum which allowed me to complete my mad Frankenstein torture chamber (also known as the guest bedroom). That's about it.
