THE TEST DRIVE MEME




Hello, True Believers!

This is for anyone wanting to test out their characters in the setting before the applications open, see what clicks. Multiples will be allowed for this post, and you can generally assume any threads are a self-contained continuity unless you feel like getting creative.

Just post a thread with your CHARACTER NAME and CANON NAME in the title with a prompt and others will reply. Prompts and threads can be action spam or prose or whatever. These threads can be used on the sample section of your application, as well. Go out and have fun!


Be sure to read up on all game information and the "!event" tag, as well as the weekly updates to make sure you have all your ducks in a row.

Why only poems, though? What if I like...stapled a bunch of napkins together an' handed 'em in for the short story assignment?

Then I would recommend using the computer lab to type out your story and print it out. Reading an entire story on a series of napkins does not sound pleasant, does it?

I'm gonna level with ya: Reading an entire story doesn't sound pleasant, period.

[Good thing she's never planning on becoming a teacher.]

I got another question, though! Can we draw pictures for our short stories?

[He's going to let that slide. As for her question...]

The purpose of this assignment is to paint a picture with words. While many stories do have illustrations, they are not required here.
