I really want to write a long, epic tale, and I think the CB would be the perfect place to do that!
Here's how it's going to work:
I will write about...7 of you. I'm sorry about the small limit, but I think that those are the most characters I can handle, if that. I'd prefer less...however, there are around 100 CBers currently active, (or maybe around fifty) and it would be unfair to restrict this more.
Anyway, first I need a charrie sheet from you. This should be your CB persona.
CB name:
Age:
Appearence:
Personality:
Hobbies, Talents/powers (only if we are doing fantasy), and Pet Peeves:
Other:
Then, please vote on what kind of story you would like this to be.
Your choices are:
Fantasy
Realistic Fiction
(Maybe) Sci-fi/Dystopia
The only reason I say maybe is because I don't read a lot of Science Fiction and have never written any. I also don't really like the genre anyway. Please only choose that option if you are strongly opposed to both realistic fiction and fantasy.
A few rules:
-Heed the people limit.
-If I don't post every day, don't worry and keep topping the thread. My schedule is pretty busy.
-No AEs. As much as I love all of the snarky, silly, whimsical alter egos around here, I don't want to write a story about them.
And that's it! Once I have my characters and genre, we will vote on worldbuilding topics!
After we get everything established (which will happen by vote, by the way), there will only be votes from time to time, or maybe not at all. This is mostly just motivation for me to write something long and interesting. I put some insentive in for CBers, because I want you to enjoy this as much as I will!
Have fun!

Wow, Mei. Your pi-memorization skills are insane! Wow. Wow. WOW!!!!! And it would be really racist if someone thought all Asians look the same, because they don't, obviously. Most of my best friends are Asian and they all look different. Why you would even say something like that is beyond me.

Thank you!
To answer your question, a lot of people think that. Glad you don't! :)

Oooh! Please, please, please let ther still be room!
CB name: Booksy Owly
Age: 14
Appearence: I have short light brown hair, freckles, and a shy smile. I usualy wear skirts and sweaters. I am kind of short for my age. (this isn't what I really look like, it's how I imagine myself on the CB)
Personality: Shy, quiet, anti-social, usualy fairly cheerful, innocent, gets scared easily, huge bookworm.
Hobbies, Talents/powers (only if we are doing fantasy), and Pet Peeves: I love to read, write, and organise things. I hate it when people use improper grammar, and I'm a HUGE perfectionist. Powers (if we end up doing fantasy) are that whatever I write and read aloud comes to life.
Other: Not that I can think of!
I vote realistic fiction!

l reserve a spot! l'll post later.

When I'm posting this, only a few comments have showed up. If I'm late, just kick me out uncerimoniously. I don't care, but I'll read along even so.
CB name: Abigail S. (Call me Abi if you'd like)
Age: 11
Appearence: I have fluffy, shoulder-length brown hair (that rejects headbands, pontyail holders, braids and everything one could do with hair), almond eyes, sprinkling of freckles, maroon glasses (squrare shaped) and I'm slightly on the short side. I perpetually have a book draped over my arm. (Right now, probably The Alchemist. Ohmygod, it's so good!)
Personality: Usually reasonable and levelheaded, loves reading and parakeets. Often corrects people on grammar and is somewhat bossy. I'm ormally quiet but surprises people by blurting out something loud and random.
Hobbies, Talents/powers (only if we are doing fantasy), and Pet Peeves: Hobbies: Reading, CB, writing, violin, piano, soccer, ballet, playing with my parakeets. Powers? I don't know. My CB personality thus far has been almost entirely realistic, but I do have magical cough drops and wings (that may or may not work). Pet peeves, that's easy. 1. Grammar mistakes, 2. Typos, 3. People who dislike Bach, 4. Rap songs (besides Hamilton, naturally!).
Other: That's 'bout it!
I do not care for sci-fi/dystopia, thus I shall put in my vote for Realistic Fiction. I think there are enough fantasy CB stories already.

OH WOW COOL!

Name: The Novelist, but some call me Novelist, le Novelist, Nova, Veli, or Novelistabeth
Age: 13 1/2
Appearance: See below
Personality: On the outside some people think I'm lazy, just because I'm a little ignorant sometimes. But I try to be kind to everyone, and give advice when needed. I also love nature and adventures, but for now I'm stuck on the computer. Can get excited over little things.
Hobbies: I used to take pictures a lot, and sone simple crafts, but now all I do is write. Power would be growing plants out of nowhere.
Other: N/A
How about a combo of all? (just kidding probably fantasy)
(May 28, 2016 - 6:34 pm)
And then you forget the picture . . .
(May 28, 2016 - 6:35 pm)
Whew....OK, I won't be able to include some of you. I'm very sorry about that, but this is about my ability to create a story featuring every one of you without making it hectic.
So, the characters in the story are:
-Natalie
-Cho Chang
-Brookeira
And Icy can't do it, so...
-Scylla
-Mei-Xue
-Booksy Owly
And now here is where I come to a predicament: I'm sorry, but I'm using a first-come, first-serve basis, so Esthelle and the Novelist were too late. BUT: I'm not sure if I'm going to have SD be my last charrie or if it will be Abi. SD posted sooner, but Abigail actually supplied the charrie sheet first. Ideas? It would be nice if you two could come to an agreement. I know, it's my responsibility as the writer and overseer to make the decision, but I am really bad at making decisions.
Also, BROOKEIRA and MEI-XUE, please vote on a genre! Mei-Xue, I know you are well known on the CB, and yes, I know your personality, but I would like if you would post it anyway, for the sake of clarity.
(May 29, 2016 - 6:18 am)
Ooh, I'd really, really, love to be in it, but if SD wants me to, I'll give up my spot.
(May 29, 2016 - 7:52 pm)
Oops, I missed the limit.
I can opt out.
(May 29, 2016 - 7:56 am)
I hope There's still room!
NAME: Leeli
AGE: 12
APPEARANCE: see below
PERSONALITY: happy, fun, creative, kind, sensitive, likes to laugh,
HOBBIES/TALENTS/POWERS/AND PET PEEVES: I love drawing, writing, singing, dancing, any kind of art, sewing, Training animals, and I am good at all of the above. If we are doing fantasy, I have the power to shape shift into a wolf, and o can talk to animals. I'm not quite sure what pet peeves are. I have a faint idea, but would write much better if someone explained it to me
OTHER: LOVES animals. Loves the Wingfeather Saga. I also look up to everyone on the CB.
(May 29, 2016 - 8:50 am)
Oops! Forgot to vote! Fantasy or realistic fiction please! I want fantasy more, though.
(May 29, 2016 - 8:51 am)
I vote fantasy!
I'll post my CB appearance and personality later.
@Cho Chang: Thank you! I also found quite a few mistakes in published works, including Cricket!
(May 29, 2016 - 9:43 am)
Here is my CB appearance! I don't look like this in real life. In fact, the actor for Mei-xue doesn't, either. Is that alright? Because I know that Cho C's CB appearance doesn't look like the actor for Cho Chang.
