* CharacterOverlap: Max Chambers is an original character made for the VideoGame/DieAnstalt fandom, and Dublin Hartell a [[{{Gijinka}} humanization]] of a canon character from the same. This makes sense if you keep in mind that [[HeAlsoDid the author also did]] Fanfic/APosseAdEsse.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness

to:

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdnessEarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The writing/publishing style is very off-the-cuff and improvisational compared to its modern counterparts; hence, events like the [[{{Retcon}} retconned]] drowning of Max in Episode 6. There is also a much greater emphasis on physical evidence as opposed to simply contradicting alibis.


Added DiffLines:

* ISeeDeadPeople: Inverted - everyone can see and communicate with the ghosts of the victims ''except'' Max. Dialogue from Emmy suggests, and future such projects confirm, that Max is among a handful of anomalies in this regard.

The Chambers MMBC is the first attempt at the a [[Fanfic/MurderMysteryBacheloretChallenges Murder Mystery Bachelor Challenge]], Challenge]] - is, in fact, the ''first'' of its kind, at least under that banner. Run by socialjusticesimblr, it can be read from the beginning [[http://socialjusticesimblr.tumblr.com/tagged/chambers-MMBC/chrono here]].

{To do: add plot synopsis}
Max Chambers has been quite unlucky in love for some time, flitting from partner to partner through (mostly) no fault of his own. A cold streak like this can only last for so long, and eventually he decides to go for the last resort of any eligible bachelor: hosting a bachelor challenge thereof! Unfortunately, one of the people who enters for him turns out to have a more potent fatal flaw than most, namely being willing to kill to win the day... or influenced into killing to win the day, depending on who you ask. To persevere and find love despite it all, Max, his best friend Dublin Hartell, and the percent of contestants who remain innocent must keep their wits up, their hearts closed, and their eyes ''very'' open indeed.

* AbortedArc: According to production notes, [[spoiler:the random person that cold-called Charlie in Episode 5 was meant to be connected to one of his old victims, and make more appearances within the story; however, [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse her presence was forgotten]] as the author got "more entrenched in his motivation".]]



* {{Callback}}: Just before Dublin enters the picture, Max calls him asking to talk, saying "I need to hear your voice". [[spoiler:Episode 15 has him repeat the need to Dub's grave.]]

Added DiffLines:

* MurderTheHypotenuse: [[spoiler:A platonic example. While Dub and Max are best friends rather than a couple, the murderer gets quite jealous of their extended interactions together...]]


Added DiffLines:

* TransTribulations: Discussed. Max expresses particular fear for Charlie early on, noting that his being a Hispanic trans man makes him an easier target. Charlie dismisses this, noting that he hasn't lived as long as he has without developing ways of defending himself. [[spoiler:Considering that he himself is the murderer of the piece, and it's implied that he's killed before using that justification, he's not lying.]]

!! This MMBC provides examples of:
* AssholeVictim: Downplayed with Junior McCabe. He is mean-spirited, and frequently misgenders Charlie Fuentes, but it's hard to determine what is just part of his usual temperament and what is exacerbated by the stressful death-filled circumstances.
* CharacterOverlap: Max Chambers is an original character made for the VideoGame/DieAnstalt fandom, and Dublin Hartell a [[{{Gijinka}} humanization]] of a canon character from the same. This makes sense if you keep in mind that [[HeAlsoDid the author also did]] Fanfic/APosseAdEsse.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness
* EyedScreen: In Episode 20, before the murderer reveal.
* FunnyForeigner: Annie Kayse, and to a lesser extent Nevaeh Lynx. Annie in particular has a running quirk about putting 'cafe' into sentences where it makes no sense in context.
* InteractiveNarrator: Rep, who serves as camera-person, event organizer and mastermind behind the murder.
* NonSpecificallyForeign: Annie Kayse again.
--> "I know you’re French - or Russian, or Swedish - it’s a little tough to tell, and you’ve never been very specific?"
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Clarisse Prevot.
