"Almost Human" got an excellent response and since I been able to free up some time I might as well move on to my next story.
This is a short medium story based on the format of the TV show "24", it will be entitled "1000".
I believe that someone has posted something similiar here in fan-works but I didn't bother reading it so I don't know what their progress is like.
ANYWAY.....
Why am I rambling about it here instead of writing it?
Well....
I want to try a slightly different track this time. Namely I want to use as few of my own characters as possible.
I want to populate the world with other people's characters... YOUR characters.
So why don't I just trawl through the character bank I hear you ask type?
It's because:
1. There are a billion characters there.
2. I am lazy.
3. Most of those people have since left PSOW, I won't be able to get approval or info.
So I need you, the humble reader to PM me characters that you might think I want for an action/suspense/comedy/thriller type story.
Each person can send me up to 3 characters.
I will accept silly as well as serious characters, since I have no idea of what I need until I start writing.
But....
There are some points to be aware of:
1. Any characters submitted are expendable. If you don't want them to die, don't send them to me in the first place.
2. There are no guarantees that I'll use your character. Don't complain if they didn't get it. Its a medium length story, not a novel!
3. Characters with more 'serious' names are more likely to get chosen than the silly named people BUT anything is possible.
4. I may not use your characters in the way you might expect, but I will get check with you for anything I do that might be constured as "out of character".
5. Er... No that's it.
The PMs can be formatted like in the character bank, but most of that information is unnecessary, if there is anything extra that I will need to know I'll PM you back.
Here's an example:
Name: Bernie
Class: RAmar
Appearence: 6', medium build, blond hair. Wears blue.
Weapon: Flame visit.
Personality: Generally easy-going, but can be serious when necessary. A natural leader. Has a tendency to curl into a ball and gnaw on his arm when things go 'weird'.
And so on. The Personality bit is probably the most important part, I need to be able to judge how your character will behave in my world.
Any questions, post 'em here or PM me.
