CBer Story!
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!

Hi! Here's my charrie sheet, but don't feel pressured to use me as a character!
Name: Bibliophile
Age:12, 7th grade
Apperance: See the avatar at the bottom!
Personality: Oh, I'm bad at this... let's see, ambiverted (a bit shy but louder around friends), huge bookworm, follows authority figure's directions, sometimes gives people too much credit, somewhere in between realist and optimist, ravenpuff, tries to help others, a bit socially awkard, and likes to know random facts.
Pet Peeve: People cracking their knuckles
talents/hobbies: singing, reading, writing,acting
I pick fantasy!

And naturally, I forgot my picture.
(May 29, 2016 - 10:32 am)
Aw, it's already filled. Well, I don't want to cause trouble for you, but could I be a minor character? Just super, duper minor. Like when you need a random classmate or a person screaming for help. If that was me, that would be amazing!
CB name: Marie
Age: That's a secret
Appearance: It's not how I really look, but this is how I imagine myself to be!
Personality: Friendly and full of energy!
Hobbies: Reading and writing
Talents: None! Hee hee
Powers: Can I be able to fly? I love flying.
Pet Peeves: huh.... I really hate cauliflower. I'll still eat it, but it's gross!
Choice: Fantasy!

If we are going to do Sci-fi, I know how to code. Just throwing that out there.

My CB personality:
I'm loud, laugh a lot, and talk a lot. I care a lot about civil rights, and I'm not satisfied with the world. I want equality, and think that there is way too much prejudice and bigotry everywhere from the courts to the playground. I speak my mind and hold fast to my opinions, sometimes even at the expense of being liked or admired. After all, Malala has critics. I agree with the lyrics for "We are the World", and I look up to Malala, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King.
On a lighter note, I am a huge Potterhead and think that you can't possibly be a true Potterhead if you STILL think that Slytherin is evil, and Hufflepuffs are losers. If you're a die-hard fan, then you should know more about Harry Potter fandom.

OtR: l am perfectly happy to give my spot to Abigail, it doesn't really matter to me.

Thanks, Shadow. This makes it a lot simpler for me.
OK! People! I have tallied the votes, and the genre we are doing is:
FANTASY!
Now, we are going to vote on a few different topics.
First off, I need to know which of you are OK with being a villain. It's fine if you don't want to be, but at least one person has to be the antagonist. (Note: The story is going to be written in the third person, and everyone, including the villain, will share the limelight.)
After you tell me that, vote for worldbuilding!
Are we:
a) In a fantasy world, aware of magic/fantasy/powers
b) Aware of magic/fantasy/powers in the mortal world
c) Unaware of fantasy/magic/powers, but they exist
d) In a mortal world, but aware of (an) other fantasy world(s) (or vice-versa)
I think these are the main four types of fantasy worlds.
To summarize, tell me if you wouldn't like to be a villain, if you would be fine with it, or if you want it. Remember, I can only have up to...two villains. Then, vote for A,B,C, or D!
(May 30, 2016 - 9:21 am)
A.
And I'll be fine with being a villan. Feel free to mess around with my charrie sheet and appearance, if I am the villan!
(May 30, 2016 - 10:55 am)
I will be okay if you make me a villian, and I'll be okay if you don't. In other words, you decide. I don't really care.
I vote A for the worldbuilding.
(May 30, 2016 - 11:08 am)
I vote C, and I would preffer not to be the villain.
(May 30, 2016 - 12:54 pm)
Thank you, Shadow! I'm glad I get to do this story. ;) I vote for d. I'd be fine with being a villian, but I don't really want to!
(May 30, 2016 - 1:46 pm)
I made a new comment, but since everyone is replying here, I will too.
A!
I don't want to be the villian.
(May 31, 2016 - 4:22 pm)
A! D is my next pick.
(June 3, 2016 - 10:09 am)
Actually, I redid my CB appearance. It actually looks like Mei-xue's nanny now! Ah well.
(May 30, 2016 - 11:18 am)
I do not want to be the villian!
I vote for: a) In a fantasy world, aware of magic/fantasy/powers.
Then, you can add unicorns, sea serpents, etc.
