I want to do this collab with around 3 more authors. But the problem is...*biting lower lip*...I have no story idea in my mind!!

Except that I want it to be realistic fiction with romance and no fantasy. So people who are interested, please brainstorm with me over here!

Im interested!! Lets see, It could be about four complete out castes, who completely hate life and school!! They come together in the most strange way, and together, help each other out with thier problems. Each of them could be suffering from a certain problem, for example, one could have an abusive step father, the other could be completely neglected by her family, and is reieving death threats, you know!!!!
Hahahaha!! In a sucker for sadder things!
Just shooting stuff at you!

I could trust you to be interested in anything Xenie. *grin* Like your idea 'bout each of them having a dark problem. But instead of all of them being outcasts, each one can be from different clique. Whatcha think? :)

Hummm...more ideas........How about....no sorry, Im out, now Only fanstsy fills my tiny brain. Im thinking something on the lines of...a delinquent....a dragon.....a crab......a faery........a magical bench......and a bird that has one wing and flies!! Now Im thinking of 4 failed authors getting together to create an epic....each of them carries a secret...one is a murderer, the other a depression patient......maybe ones a con artist....a jail escapee....hee hee!! I have such a strange brain!! There are voices inside my head *crazy laughter....rocks back and forth* ..."SHUT UP BAZZEL-HOUNDER!!"*Scraming at a voice in her head!!!!* .....hummm....maybe about the escape of four mental patients, who heal each other while trying to escape....

You certainly have a very chaotic mind Xenie. XD Let's stick to the different cliques though. ;)

Well yeah..I was thinking of making it 4 authors. So I have myself, Xenie, Spiderwebz, and then StarFromSpace. So that's perfect. We just need to get the story idea set so I could post up a link for it. :)

Hey y'all. We might have to delay this collaboration for about a week or so...I'm travelling (not for vacation but for some school stuff) and won't be coming online at all for about a week or so. So there's going to be a pause on all the collabs i'm doing. Feel upset about that since I just recently started a few collab with others. Stopping would make co-authors feel bad so i'm a bit upset wif myself. So we'll start this collab later. :) Hope y'all are okay with that.

Ok you guys. I'm going to start posting soon "get this baby down the road". XD So, I was surfing the web, looking for a list of cliques and descriptions for them. And I found this link: http://socalprep.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=started&action=display&thread=140

When you scroll down, you'll find a list. You can choose a character from one of those or create your own. I'm going to be the "Drifter". You guys choose your own and give me a description here.

Once we're down with that, I'll post a link up.

i have chosen!!
Can I be a mixture of two?
I wanna be a mixture between Burnout and Goth!!! Is that ok? Not a hard core one...just a "gonna be one if doesn't get some help" one!!! A small fry, If you get what I mean!
Right

Name- Xian Hasphberg
Age- 17

Appearance- Tall, slightly muscular, longish curly black hair, and piercing emerald green eyes, that seem to look into a person's soul. Either grumpy or high, he has a constant look of hell on his face. Actually quite good looking if he stops wearing only black and smiles once in a blue moon! Often absent from class or simply walks out of class while the teacher is teaching, everyone, includeing the teachers have given up on him. You can usually find him sculking around the back of the school smoking something strange.His breath constantly smells of ciggerettes. Scored "drug dealer" on his first career examination, and a "Alcoholic" on his second one.

Personality- Loves black. Mysterious and doesn't open up to any one. Everyone either ignores or stays faaar faaaaaaaaar away from him. Actually quite a smart and sweet kid but only to thoes who actually show an interest in him and his well being, which has so far been NO ONE. His parents died in a car accident when he was twelve. Was brought up by his slightly on the abusive side stoned out older brother, which actually explains a lot!! He really doesnt like himself, or what he is becomeing but in his mind he "has no choice" perhaps someone can change that?

okay! :) Can I be wannabe?

Name: Chloe Western.
Age: 16

Appearance - Medium height, very skinny and tanned skin. Long, thick, curly hair. Brunette with hints of blonde. Dark brown eyes, very big. The human-version of bambi(?) Very good looking, but still not good looking enough to be a 'plastic.' She wears all the right clothes and has all the right makeup, yet somehow she is not accepted, and everyone just sees her as a wannabe.

Personality - She follows the plastics around like a puppy. At first it seems she is unaware of their disaproval, but it is soon revealed she is alot deeper than first thought and she is ashamed of her position as 'wannabe.' Aspires to be a young disabled persons carer or nurse, but tells everyone she wants to be a model. She is looking for love, true love, not the love the jocks tend to give her, and usually seeks solace in people who are lower in the social status.
She hides her brother, who has autism, as she believes that he could 'ruin her image.' She is extremely self conscious and shy, but hides it by being loud and attempting to make jokes which mostly fall flat. She wants to break free.

Hope this okay, and doesn't sound to cliched? :P <3

Haha! This is great!! Love both of your characters.

@Xenie : Go ahead and make him be a mix of Burnout and Goth. I don't mind at all.
@StarFromSpace: It's perfect.

Now I just need to check if SpiderWebz is going to be a part of the collab or not. She could write as a girl and I can write as a guy [Drifter]. And then decide on the couples.

Maybe my character (who is desperate for 'real love') likes Xian, so they go out, so, as you said, intesifying your pain? Just a thought :) But my character and Xian don't really like each other, they just stay together for some reason.. :P x

About this group

For those interested in outlining and discussing specific ongoing storylines.

Sometimes simply using the comments area to refine a story's plot, sending private messages to co-authors to discuss characters, or updating the author guidance with setting information isn't quite enough.

If you have an elaborate, complex tale — be it solo or collaborative — come by the Planning & Brainstorming group to storyboard, outline, annotate, draft, and discuss your work's plot, characters, setting, history, intrigue, or anything that comes to mind.

Please try and keep all discussion topics you create centered around a single work!

Note: The intention is to move all story-related discussions in this group into "Story Wikis" (a new feature, currently in planning) down the road, so please use this group instead of posting new works to discuss backstory/characters/story meta-information.
