I've fuzzed out on drive to write, I won't lie. I have ideas, characters that are itching to find their way into language, live their lives, but I have no inspiration to actually write them out, and it bothers me.

If I feel like someone is counting on me though, I'll get my tail into gear and do it though. So here's what I want to do to give myself some practice and that much needed momentum that'll roll over into my own writing: You tell me what and who and when to write about, and I'll write it. Ever needed that character backstory? I'll do it. How they got that sweet motorcycle or got dubbed a knight? Consider it done. The tale of how they become a wanted fugitive and had to steal a Boeing freighter full of weasel plushies and comic books in order to fly to Chile and clear their name (or escape) from the noodle incident? You get it.

Like Sky, I'm going to need a few things. Actually, I'm going to need more.

1.) Plot idea. In other words, this is what you want me to write. You don't have to give me a play-by-play, but a basic idea (see above examples) would be good. You can be as descriptive or open as you wish; but if you don't give me anything at all don't cry when you're beloved fursona is drinking sheep snot tea with the queen while dodging surface to air missiles in an MD-90 when you really wanted him slaying dragons in medieval france and oh, he hates sheep snot tea!

2) Time period or alternative setting (AKA steampunk, girl genius universe, FreeFall universe, modern day but with magic, etc...)

3) Genre. This one is very optional.

4) DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTERS! Anything you don't describe I'm going to make up. Because this is a furry forum (and because I love furry characters) the protagonist MUST be anthropomorphic.

5) If you don't give me an email or request a PM, I'll post it in this thread.

After I reply letting you know I accepted your request I should have your story done (final, not the rough drafts I've been posting) within three weeks.

Currently waiting on Stories:

1)Old Rabbit
2)Loc
3)Scarlegs
4)You?

I read your PM Old Rabbit! I like the idea a lot, keeping it short is going to be a challenge though. I'll try to have it ready for you in a couple of weeks!

Loc, feel free to PM me what you want, and I'll get to it right after I finish Old Rabbit's story.

Sure! I read your PM and it seems very do-able. I'll get to it after I finish Loc's :)

Go ahead and post it here if you like.  Glad you liked
the story idea. It's only one of several plots I had in
mind.  :orbunny:
