'ELLO THERE!

Name's Sarah, in case you weren't very observant in the past. ^.^

WRITING STYLE

I generally write in a third person limited voice. I really want to learn how to write an interesting first person voice... without sounding juvenile. I'm writing a story right now that would be best in first person... So I need to work on that eventually.

LIMITS

None that I can think of, really. Sex doesn't bother me. Nor do drugs, alcohol or gore. Just no massive power play, please. I don't care if your character slips mine a little chloroform or picks him up and kidnaps him... just don't kill my lovelies, okay? If you have any questions on what is appropriate, ask away. Typically, I won't bite your head off. I prefer to play males, and also I mostly do M/M pairings, but I'm willing to branch out.

ROLEPLAYING

I'm very much into romanticism, as you will find out from the characters I play. I'm very weak with plotting, but I will try by best to accommodate YOU. Yes, I will try to accommodate YOU. That's how I like to write. I like to make the story interesting for myself with an audience in mind. If this is a problem, I'll work with you on it.

Most of my plots are based off stories that I have started but never finished... so I have a bit of an idea in mind ahead of time. I'm not looking to rewrite these stories... so give me something fresh to do! Every plot is ALWAYS open for negotiation.

MODERN

-The Last Trip of Our Lives

A class of twenty high school students take a field trip. On the bus ride over, the bus breaks down mysteriously, and a teacher starts taking students out into the field and shooting them. BOY A and BOY B/ GIRL A manage to escape with their lives into the woods. Now it's a matter of finding someone who can listen to them before they end up like their classmates. **Much more detail**

-Criminal Minds

Nope, not a fandom. Sorry kiddos. I can't stand to really play fandoms... I'd much rather make and use my own characters. But if you have watched the show Criminal Minds, you'll understand. I want a sick serial killer, a defenseless victim and a badass hero that serves justice.


FANTASY

-Hero

Average high school kid + comet = super powers. I know, it's a bit overrated, but humor me, okay? I'm thinking the kid gets hit by a comet, and then is found by an undercover man who wants to make him his apprentice... maybe the man used to have powers and lost them?

-The Third War

World War III. Nuclear war, zombies, whatever you would like. I have written a story here under the library on this plot before, but I'm looking for an exact opposite approach. If you have seen The Colony from Discovery Channel, that show sums it up to a t. ANYthing post-apocolyptic is welcome.

More to be added!

--
dear me... And I've been calling you Bob all this time. How rude of me.
SO MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM I JUST DON'T EVEN KNOW.
Shall we start a new WAU?

[aprettyoddgirl]

Sarah... Bob, whatever. Close enough.

New WAU from scratch or where we left off? I'm always eager to play with our lovelies.

NEW CHARACTER TIMEEEEEEEE!

Mandatory Questions


1. What about you is heroic?
My fighting prowess... bravery maybe?

2. What about you is social? What do you like about people?
I like being closed to only a few people. I like people who are strong and when they do things without a reward in mind.

3. Invent an adventure/plot that your character would actively undertake (as opposed to just tagging along)?
Anything that happens to emphasize my 'hero-syndrome' which I really need to get out of the habit of. And like any rebellious, hormone-infused teenager, I want to prove my past wrong. The past doesn't have to repeat itself.

1. What is your real, birth name? What name do you use?
Beckett Connor Hartlan. Becks or Beckett preferably.

Messy, cluttered but personally organized. If I need to find one of my own possessions I usually know where it is... to everyone else I live in a dump. The beds are never made and the tv's always on, but it's my choice, so get out of my house if you don't like it.

12. Do you own a car? Describe it.
A POS car. It's a Ford, so you know it's shitty. It's about five sizes too small for me even with the seat reclined. It's red, which is my favorite part. Most of the time I prefer to walk or take public transportation.

Persistent.
