Chatterbox: Inkwell
CBers VS Zombies II
About a year ago, I created an odd RP/Ski Lodge/Story mixture (www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/inkwell/node/168654) Due to bad planning and a not so great writing style, it died out. I have analyzed its flaws and seen where I think I can do better, and therefore… CBERS VS ZOMBIES, NEW AND IMPROVED.
SOME RULES/NOTES
-I WILL WRITE THE IMPORTANT STUFF. You can write diary entries, suggestions for the plot, ect, but you can’t write something like ‘and then Icy died a horrific death’ (sorry, that was just the first name I could think of, no ill will meant) because I like writing death scenes, and I do have some plot, under all the pie parties… I think… just a moment, THERE IT IS! *yanks out plot* See, this is the plot, and killing people off kills the plot. That didn't make much sense... ah, whatever. Anyway, I write the plot. You can add details in diary entries but not the big, important stuff, because I have ideas for it.
-I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GIVE ATTENTION TO ALL CHARACTERS EQUALLY. The reasons for this? When a ton of people join, keeping track of if they’re zombies/dead is already the one of the most annoying parts of this otherwise fun job, and... making sure I know their personality enough to write about their specific adventures while not putting them in the wrong light is hard- really hard, and really annoying. Due to this there will also be limitations on AEs- one per person (no CAPTCHAs) and Main Characters can’t have one. (I was originally going to have no AEs, but well… they add a bit more craziness, and I like that. I may cut out AEs if I’m having trouble keeping track of everything, though.)
-I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR FANDOM/PREFERRED SUBPLOT. Due to a variety of ideas I’m hyped for, the Harry Potter fandom will be taking center stage. I will probably have a bit of some other fandoms, but, well, after a certain point it gets to be too much. Peter and the Starcatcher lore will be making an appearance, as well as the Doctor (I think) and maybe the Avengers, but I’m not sure, and these are all very fluid ideas that may change according to who joins, who wants what fandoms, ect.
-AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, I WILL TRY TO POST FREQUENTLY BUT, WELL, LIFE IS LIFE. Please help me keep this thread topped, get annoyed when I don’t post after a ridiculously long amount of time, and generally don’t abandon it. Try not to abandon it and I’ll do the same. :)
Ah, well, this post didn't make much sense! Anyway, if you like what you see, join using the sheet below.

What's Cortana like? Powers, personality?

Name: Owlgirl
Age: 12
Fandoms: I'm just gonna say HP.
Appearance: Will post it later
Fighting Skills (in real life): I can kick very hard. I have no weapon except for any somewhat thick book. No, really, I'm not kidding or trying to be funny. I have won two sort-of fights by hitting the person on the head with a book.
One of them was a real jerk (usually I don't describe someone that strongly) and said in a mean voice, "Fight me" so I grabbed a hardcover fiction book, bopped him on the head, and he fell back into a table.
Kicking and hardcover books. Those are my only fighting skills. Oh, and I'm good with strategy. I always see all possibilities, useful in a zombie apocalypse I guess...does that count?
AE: Grace. Purple hair, crazy, yells a lot, has no crushes...yet, loves sweets, and...um...crazy.
Would you rather be a MC or have an AE:
I am perfectly fine being a minor character. And I see that nearly everyone wants to be a main character, so...
Hogwarts House (say ‘none’ if you don’t want to go to Hogwarts): Hufflepuff (With a lot of Ravenclaw in me...Ravenpuff

Grace took the quiz and got...Hufflepuff? Interesting. Was NOT expecting that.
You can put her in that house, or put her in a different house. Whatever your plot-writing magic requires.
