Do you have any questions to ask the Game Master?

*raises hand*

If, by chance, you put us in a fantasy storybook, are we allowed to change our characters to orient to the storybook type? Such as make a human a mage, or something to that effect?

Yes, you can adapt your bios slightly to fit the plot you're assigned. However, if your character is a human, it's unlikely that you will be placed in a fantasy storybook (though you can request it if you really can't handle none fantasy but wish to be human).

Well, I didn' realize we could choose our character type already then. *runs to edit*

Thanks Heather Smile

No problem. And that's the same for everyone, feel free to include race.

How will this work? Are you going to make a seperate storybook and assign us to each?

*feels vague*

I have devised three seperate plots. I am currently deciding which character will belong to each. Once I'm sure, I'll create a thread for each storybook plot and direct you to the right one. One plot will remain in the current thread.

After that, I'll read every post made and pm you with tips, instructions and praise. I'll occasionally step in as an NPC if the storybook needs a boost or the plot needs moving on.

Our plot line needs a time period, please. "Historical Fiction" doesn't quite cut it.

I'm still tweaking the details a little but I think 1700's.

So if we are in the fantasy group we can have any power we want, right?

Thank you, Kitty. Revising my character as we speak, to match the setting.

Vampy: Yes, you may give your character a power but be reasonable. Nothing too strong or there will be no room for power development.

SuicideKing: Awesome and thanks for the interest!

Oh, so cool! I love the plot you put me in! Does my character need to be changed any? And how long should the posts be? Mine usually run about a paragraph. Should I go longer?
And thanks thanks thanks so much for this amazing storybook!
-Elise

EDIT: I changed the age, and phys. description, and added two pics. I think it works better with him being younger. idk why.

Thanks! I love the storybook you put me in! But I have a question. Can we make more characters? Or do we just have one?

This_is_history - Your profile is good, no need to change anything and yes, a paragraph is a little short so try to write longer posts and let me know if you'd like help or tips on how to draw a post out (adding a little description or character interaction is often good)

Dr. Jamie - If you'd like to join one of the other plots as well, you may make another character but just one within each plot.
