At Quill's, an exculsive school for fiction writers, life seems perfect. Everyone is happy and all of thestudents are able to expess themselves freely. But a dark secret is harboring inside, a dark secret that goes back to the founder of the school, Micheal Quill. The student have not just been chosen for their writig skill, but also for what they write, namely fantasy and hooror, anything with fastasical beasts. For Micheal Quill an his decendants have a special power- bringing fictioal characters into the real world. Soon they have accumulated many enormous beasts, wich they keep in cages an chains. But soon they escape, and are free to roam the world, causing destruction and mayhem. But tere is one line of defense: their creators.

Their creators, the studets, with the help of thier professors, must battle the creatures and kill them or try to read them back in.

Well.. I can't not be a part of this. I'd be a Quill, please. I would like to know a bit more details of what that actually means, though xD

Alright. Glad to have you on board! Basically, the Quills are power-hungry and want to use the characters of the teens' stories to gain power and possibly one day rule the world.

Ok, I love fantasy. but,how old is the school? are the founders still alive? who are the main characters? what books do the beasts come from? how far back does this power go? I want to know about the characters, the setting,plot,etc. I love your idea.Can't wait to read it! <3
You can't change the past, so live in the future, and choose your course wisely.

It is a Storybook, not a novel idea. The participants choose their characters themselves - and the beasts, as far as I got, come from the things the students write about, not the actual books written already. They can read them in and out of the stories, but I didn't get the feeling that they can control them to some greater amount.
I don't know how old it is, but I figure that the founder/director is Mr Quill, and he is alive and plotting to take over the world. xD

P2P ~ can the Quills have such powers as well?

I actually quite like this idea. I'd like to be a student, please, if that's cool with you ^^

That's Inkheart, Inkspell and Inkdeath, right? If so, yeah. I actually based it on those books.

Oooh, can I reserve a student spot? This sounds immensely fun.

Also, I loved the Inkworld Trilogy!

Sure! Although if you're a Quill then probably mostly the antagonists/bad guys. Students & teachers may also be able to read out characters but they wouldn't know yet, so they would have to discover that through the course of the storybook.

To Sunwater and Ranger51, yes, you can both be students.
