Chatterbox: Inkwell
CBers VS Zombies II
About a year ago, I created an odd RP/Ski Lodge/Story mixture (www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/inkwell/node/168654) Due to bad planning and a not so great writing style, it died out. I have analyzed its flaws and seen where I think I can do better, and therefore… CBERS VS ZOMBIES, NEW AND IMPROVED.
SOME RULES/NOTES
-I WILL WRITE THE IMPORTANT STUFF. You can write diary entries, suggestions for the plot, ect, but you can’t write something like ‘and then Icy died a horrific death’ (sorry, that was just the first name I could think of, no ill will meant) because I like writing death scenes, and I do have some plot, under all the pie parties… I think… just a moment, THERE IT IS! *yanks out plot* See, this is the plot, and killing people off kills the plot. That didn't make much sense... ah, whatever. Anyway, I write the plot. You can add details in diary entries but not the big, important stuff, because I have ideas for it.
-I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GIVE ATTENTION TO ALL CHARACTERS EQUALLY. The reasons for this? When a ton of people join, keeping track of if they’re zombies/dead is already the one of the most annoying parts of this otherwise fun job, and... making sure I know their personality enough to write about their specific adventures while not putting them in the wrong light is hard- really hard, and really annoying. Due to this there will also be limitations on AEs- one per person (no CAPTCHAs) and Main Characters can’t have one. (I was originally going to have no AEs, but well… they add a bit more craziness, and I like that. I may cut out AEs if I’m having trouble keeping track of everything, though.)
-I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR FANDOM/PREFERRED SUBPLOT. Due to a variety of ideas I’m hyped for, the Harry Potter fandom will be taking center stage. I will probably have a bit of some other fandoms, but, well, after a certain point it gets to be too much. Peter and the Starcatcher lore will be making an appearance, as well as the Doctor (I think) and maybe the Avengers, but I’m not sure, and these are all very fluid ideas that may change according to who joins, who wants what fandoms, ect.
-AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, I WILL TRY TO POST FREQUENTLY BUT, WELL, LIFE IS LIFE. Please help me keep this thread topped, get annoyed when I don’t post after a ridiculously long amount of time, and generally don’t abandon it. Try not to abandon it and I’ll do the same. :)
Ah, well, this post didn't make much sense! Anyway, if you like what you see, join using the sheet below.

Name: Abigail S.
Age: 11
Fandoms: Harry Potter, PJO/HoO, Hamilton, Masterminds, Narnia, and... That's about it.
Appearance: I have fluffy, shoulder-length brown hair that is constantly tangled and in my face. Almond shaped, dark eyes, and cinnamon-like freckles that are currently invading due to the fact we are vacationing in Maui. I'm pretty short for my age.
Fighting Skills (in real life): My fighting technique boils down to two basic points. a) Kick and flail until I hit something b) Grab whatever is on hand and bash the target's face in. I also took fencing lessons once in fourth grade, but that didn't go so well. I can show you the five types of parries if you'd like, but that's about it.
AE: I have three. I'd rather be an MC (see below) but if I must take one, I'll bring. . . Mandy.
Would you rather be a MC or have an AE: *glances at AEs* Um, be a MC.
Hogwarts House: RAVENCLAW!

Hey- interestingly enough, I still want AEs. Just because main characters can't have AEs doesn't mean you can't. Since it's likely not all of you are going to be main characters, if you could not be a main character, what AE would you bring? If it's an AE I deem good for comic relief and you're not a main character, I'll add it in. That's how I meant for this to work.
@Brookeira What era avengers? What role would you want to play? If superhero, how did you get your powers? Does this have to be canon compliant- if so, comic book canon or movie canon? What would your relationship be with the other avengers? I'm sorry if these questions are annoying, but please note that I'm just trying to make sure your character would be acceptable. If it seems too hard to write or I think I would make a terrible fangirl faux pau I probably shouldn't touch the fandom.
@Mei-Xue Can you give me a placeholder age? Or an age range? I understand not wanting to say your age, but if you were, say, 13, you could just say young teen old preteen and then I would have a bit more information. I understand if you aren't comfortable with that though.
(June 20, 2016 - 12:33 pm)
@ Indigo: You can put me in literally any era of the Avengers... it can be from movies or comic books, your picks.
If I'm a superhero? I'm probably either a mutant or a failed science experiment.
My relationships? I'm probably a team member/trainee of the Avengers.
Powers? TELEKINESIS if that's OK pal thanks.

IF you don't want to make me a main character, I will bring Squeak. I think you know him well enough.
