Hello everyone! I would like to see stories with believable characters that I care about. If they die in the end or if something happens to them- make me care. I want to like them, I want to see them learn something new, or succeed through great adversity. In order to have well rounded characters you don't have to be a bore! Keep things exciting! Show me how you can introduce these people without letting plot suffer. There is a balance, it can be done! I think this will be a great thing to practice because most good stories keep people interested because the reader cares about whether the good guy lives or dies. They have a connection with him. You get the point. Be creative! Here are the rules:
*No Errotica
*No Offensive Language
*No racial or religious slurs (use common sense "what would offend you if you were really religious?")
*No Errotica
*No Offensive Language
