I'm writing a story, something of a sequel to Coeus's DS Twilight.
Basically, If you want to be in it, Something like this will do. If you want something other than your nickname in DS, then say something. If I can't find a suitable alternative to some names that just don't fit, then I'll give you a random name if you don't come up with something yourself. See if you want a specific role. If you want to put a quirk or specialty or something, that's fine too. Since I'm me...
Ian - Main Character
Habit of drinking until passed out on teh floor. (Just an example)
... or something like that. I may not actually put you in the way you want though. And no Jack, assuming you'd like to be in the story, you cannot be completely awesome for no particular reason other than being awesome. You cannot be a Spartan either.

Er, unless you've gotten permission from Coeus, don't.
I don't think you can match up to him in writing, and it'd be a sin for anything related to his Twlight to be shotty. Also, trying to invite people to be in it isn't exactly a great writing style either. [ This Message was edited by: Crim [R33] on 2009-06-28 00:03 ]

I'm not going to do it as a direct sequel. And inviting is better than just randomly picking people. I know I can't match up to Coeus, but if it sucks it won't matter anyways since you won't see it. If anything, you'll help me get better for when I actually have to write stuff. At least DS is a topic I enjoy!

Putting people in a story usually means you put their username in, and it's just retarded to see 'fastjay2008 and tootsie09' as characters. Make your own, give them backstories, that kind of thing.

Crim, you didn't really read my post did you. I already said if some names seemed like they wouldn't work out well I'd make something up. Also the reason I ask those who would like to be in teh story come up with something they like. There is a bit of communication in there where required. -.-

I dunno, I think "Ensign Hahah" has a little ring to it
Its nice of you to ask if people want to be put in, though traditionally past writers have just chucked whoever into it. The choice is ultimately yours, and most won't care either way. You can use me, so long as you don't kill me off in the first paragraph

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

No, you can't write a sequal to Twilight - that line of characters and ships is mine and I may well come back to the dozen or so sequals prequals and offshoots that I've started since finishing it.
Trust me, you'll have an easier time if you start your own independent plotline. Besides, anything written in the DS universe is in the DS universe, so it's not like you can really go too far fetched from ACs and Mycopia and so on & so forth.
Want a little tip? Don't use player requests for story placements - you'll never be able to make them all happy and some people will not like what happens to them. Don't make the story centering around you either, it makes yourself more flexible with the main character.
.......... Doran.....
You know you're from Philly when I knew all of the words to that song just from reading the first line...

Trust me, it has almost nothing to do with your story, it's set differently. I already thought you might say that. For christ's sake the main char isn't even in the military! More interesting that way. After a while you could pretty much predict how the story goes but the way I have it allows randomness. I change all the names anyways. True, there aren't really that many places in DS, but we all know how... unfinished, DS is anyways.
Besdes, in and out of the forums, I've gotten sooooooooo many complaints that probably the only person who will see it is Tellaris, and that's because he is in it. -.- I already said if it isn't really worth reading I wouldn't have put it up anyways. I guess words can only go so far though. >.< [ This Message was edited by: HaHaH on 2009-06-29 01:22 ]
