User blog:Kaffe4200/Another UFSW Story - The Bowl

All right, this is an idea I've had for a while. Not sure if it's a good idea or just another of my bad ones. But well, here we go.

There's a lot to read, but that's how it is.

The Concept
This is an ordinary story written by a number of UFSW users, and it is "directed" by me.

Well, it isn't an ordinary story. Actually, not at all. Every issue will have a challenge. So the user writing that issue must do as the challenge says.

For example, a user could get the challenge 'all dialouge in this issue has to be questions', or 'you have to introduce a homosexual, who hits on your character'. Really, it could be anything. I come up with the challenges, but would be open for suggestions.

Roles
There would be three kind of roles for the users. Regulars, recurring and guest. Regulars would be the main characters and the ones that build up the story. Recurring would be the supporting characters, that eventually could be promoted to main characters. Guests are the users that just want to try this. They may be able to join in later as recurring, or even regular.

Story
A year into the outbreak, the four regulars live together in an old air force base in the forrests of Oregon.

From there on, the regulars build up the storyline.

Deaths
Deaths can always happen, as long as it is fitting for the story. Only regulars can kill other regulars, but that should be discussed with me and the regular you want to kill.

It is possible for users to get more characters, by talking to me.

Challenges
The story is called The Bowl, because I will write a load of challenges, and before every issue, I will pick one from a bowl and that will be the challenge for the next issue.

As said before, the challenges can be everything, but one thing is sure: they will be a challenge. That's what makes it fun.

Is this a good idea?
If you don't think it's a good idea, say so in a comment.

If you think it's a good idea, say so in a comment as well.

If you think it's a good idea, and you want to audition, do so by using the instruction below.

Audition
To see if you're fit for these challenges, you get one to start on.

You have to write a short story, only half a page or so. Less is okay. In this story, you have to introduce the character you want to use in the story. I decide if you're in, and what role you get (regular, recurring, guest).

The challenge to this audition is: you are not allowed to use the letter 'n'.
