The basic idea is that we write a story based on our OCs. At the start, everyone will be given the same prompt. The prompt could be anything: Write your characters into a Star Wars Parody. Have your characters get stranded on a deserted island. Have one of your characters turn into a lunatic and try to kill the others, while they and the reader try to figure out who the lunatic is.
Rules:
1) Use your own OCs, you can use another writers characters, but only with their permission, and only if you were involved in the story they are from.
2) There is no cap on OCs, but it is recommended that you only use as many as you need.
3) These stories aren't canon, and don't even have to be physically possible within your series.
4) Your OCs must stay in character, unless, of course, they have a good reason to be out of character (Acceptable: He was possessed/acting the entire time. Not acceptable: He was acting much cooler than usual because it fit the role better.)
5) Character introduction is necessary, don't assume that everyone knows who your characters are. This rule might be removed after a few rounds for characters you've already played this game with.
6) There are no caps on story length, but I'm recommending between 1000-4000 words.
7) Don't have fun. This is super duper serious. This game is all about winning. If you lose, you're a failure as a writer and a human.
The stories will be submitted in a weeks time, and everyone will vote on the winner, with the winner selecting the next week's prompt. For this reason, you cannot formally win your own prompt.
