So when you say YOUR characters... are you saying that we should create one and make it like it is our story, and we are writing about the writer that created you, the character?

You create a character, and then switch roles. So, if I had a character named Daisy, she'd be the narrator of a short story with AriaAdams as the protagonist, but aware of the fact I was the one who created her.

Nope c:
Choose one of your original characters. The story s/he tells about Iggy, though, doesn't have to be true. You can also write how your character feels watching you write a fanfic on something else, describing that process at the same time, if you want to include fanfiction somehow :mrgreen:

Wait, I'm really confused. What do you mean by your character?
What do you call a cow with no legs?

A character you created ;)
From your own novel, story, poem, Storybook, imagination...

Question on the mini-events: what time zone is written in the original post? Will the events be at 9:00 am GMT and 1:00 pm GMT, or is it a different zone?

@AriaAdams
What have you done??? Putting the keyboard in the hands of such characters like this! Some characters are not to be trusted. And yet you advocate turning over control of your *shivers* writing to them, be it as short as 1000 words. The horror you'll cause! Oh the humanity!
Ahem!
*straightens tie*
Fiera has definitely come out, and come out in force, for this event. She'll be pleased to make her appearance, describing me in such flattering terms and renditions.
[Honestly I'm really excited to see how this turns out.]

xD Don't be too stressed if you step over the 1000 line a bit, btw ;) I'll know and mind if someone completely disregards the limit, but I won't be so strict on a few words here and there c:

Oh, @Buggiedude2340 (and everyone else), the mini events' times are set so that each of you sees it in your own timezone. For me it says 6 and 10 PM, which is 5 and 9 PM GMT.

Naw, sorry o:
You could wake up at 10 though.. or not go to sleep before 6~

If there's more people from your timezone, I might change one of the times/add a third one a bit later. It's not a promise though :s
