Absolutely @EmmaKi not sure about the invitation letter, maybe too Hogwarts? and @TinyJarStoredDreams that's up to you but remember, some characters could be brand new to the school regardless of how old they are depending on when their powers developed or, if they kept their powers a secret, when the school found out about them.

@Gravity okay, also are we doing 1st or 3rd person, and are we narrating in past tense or present tense?

I tend to write in third person, past tense. First person, present tense bugs me so much. But really, it's up you. I dunno what @Gravity prefers.

Btw, Lucy will be new (Obviously, my character's name). Expect her profile up today sometime.

POV is really up to you guys, I prefer first person past because I feel like it's much easier to add in stuff and control timelines that way but that's just me. And the whole purpose of an SB is to write from one charrie's POV. So... that's really up to you guys, I want you to have fun so if first person bugs you, by all means write in third. If you wanna write in the present tense, I'm not gonna tell you no. But if you want to get out of your comfort zone... great :)

So first person past is just a suggestion. Puttin' it out there... *sets gun on table and backs away*

do with it what you wish. MUAHAHAHAHA

Sorry, Gravity. You're stuck with me using third person, past tense. Hahaha!

@ScarlettFire it's all good.

*Quickly grabs gun from table because I don't trust people who write in 3rd person* you guys are untrustworthy... unwilling to reveal the thoughts of your charrie...

hahaha jk.

Third person does not mean you can't reveal the thoughts of your character. If that's how you're doing third person, you're doing it wrong! :P

Um. What point of view I'm doing has no bearing on what you do. Seriously. I'm just picking on Gravity a little bit. ;)

So when are we starting? Personally speaking, it would be nice if we could start now (since school prevents me from getting on during the week), but I assume that most people aren't on right now and not all of the characters are approved yet... :'(

Normally I write in 1st person/present tense, but I would be down for trying past tense. As a personal preference, though, I don't like to write in 3rd.

@Gravity also is there a preference of the order of introduction of the characters in which we begin the story?

@EmmaKi and all else, I don't care what POV you write in haha, it was merely a suggestion to challenge yourself.

Also, I would prefer it if I could introduce my charries first so you guys understand the structure of the first few days. I will get the post written either tomorrow or Wednesday. If my post isn't done by Wednesday, 11:59 pm EST, then it's fair game for anyone who wants to post.

And for new charries, I have no issues accepting them while we're still beginning, or if anyone wants to introduce a 2nd or 3rd later on to mix things up, that's fine with me too!
