Title: The Charas Story Collection 1
Post by: GaryCXJk on April 04, 2004, 07:31:01 PM

Well, I had a brilliant idea. Why not writing a book with a collection of stories here? I mean, every story must have something in common, except for the storyline. Maybe we could let this book publish or something.

Okey, rules:

• No adult content, no swearing, etc.
• No smilies. That would be kinda useless in a book.
• No short stories, or at least not too short. You can always edit your text if you are going to post your story in the boards, but it's better to attach it, because the forum can't handle too many characters.
• It has to be in good English, not half English or punctuation errors. Also, minor spelling errors are allowed, but not too many. If there are however too many, try and let someone correct it.
• If you are from a foreign language however and can't really spell in English, try to find someone who can translate it for you. For example, SMB. He can always pass his text to Alex or use a translator, and then ask someone to correct the errors.
• Stay with the theme, don't stray.
• If there are enough stories, some judges (not me) will decide which ones will be in it. They can only vote to reject a certain story, there is no actual limit to the ammount of stories.
• NO FANFICS!!! Make up your own characters!
  

The theme of the first collection will be introduced with an introduction.

A month ago Final Fantasy X-2 was released, which by the way had a cool theme song. Well, the main thing in Final Fantasy is emotions, mostly intense emotions. That's also something we see in other RPGs. Look at hate, jealousy, love. All these lead to a great storyline. Lack of emotions, like in Baldur's Gate, can result in a less interesting RPG.

That's why the theme of this collection is Real Emotions.

Okey, the type of story doesn't have to be fantasy, it can just as well be in the future or now.

Do your best, good luck. I'll eventually post my story.

Good idea.

I'll write something, then post it here.

Emotions, eh? That's not my strong point, but I'll try.

*bump*

No seriously, this is a good idea. If I were God I would castrate you all. If I were a mod I would sticky this topic. Better, if I were GaryCXJk, I would bump this topic until it gets enough stories!

1: How short do you consider a short story? I.E. how long would one have to be?

2: Can't we just include a liittle swearing? Just moderate and appropriate swearing?

Bah...  Didn't even notice the new posts...  Anyway...

Thanks Gary, as I said, it's not my best work and if I read it now, I'd probably gouge my eyes out, but as long as someone likes it.

I hope this story is not too short... I wrote it just now, and I have to go to ciber cafe's to get connected (I don't have Internet at home...) so it's the maximum I could do in ten minutes of inspiration... Enjoy!!!
