Hey all…I know I haven't exactly been reliable in the past. But I think I bit off more than I could chew back then, if you know what I mean. And I do love the OC stories, I DO I DO I DO! But acceptance is going to be strictly competitive on this one.

First of all, this is a HIGH SCHOOL FIC. No dorm rooms on this one, I just can't handle that. It's just your average every-day ride-the-bus in the morning school. I don't think I could manage an on-island fic. Hopefully you understand.

Secondly, not everyone will be accepted. I might not follow up on this, but I want to say that most everyone will not be accepted. Nothing personal if you aren't accepted, but I can't keep all my people straight if I have 50 OC's. They will be the most diverse bunch of people I can find. And I need ORIGINAL characters. And only two per person too; but both will not necessarily be accepted. Strain your brains on this one, guys. I want different people. For example, here's a few high-school-clique/stereotypes that you may want to consider submitting in.

Popular: usually really girly or really jock-y. They know everyone loves them and they live off of attention. Sometimes arrogant.

Emo/goth/rockers: dyed hair, gothic clothes, not exactly the loudest people you'll find (with exceptions of course.) Sometimes are 'cutters' or use drugs and drink and PARTY!

Tomboyish girls: Those really athletic chicks who hang around guys more than girls.

Whores: this can be combined with any of the other ones. Those girls/guys who are pretty much sex addicts.

Nerds: NERDS RULE! Haha, anyway…the really book-smartish ones who can be quiet and can be loud.

These guidelines don't have to be followed at all! Give me all you got! This is just to get your creative juices flowing!

Moving on.

Not all canons will be included either. Boone, Shannon, Juliet, Kate, Claire, Charlie, Hurley, Jack, Sawyer, Sayid, Ben, Alex, Charlotte, Daniel, Miles, Desmond, Ana Lucia, Richard, and POSSIBLY Alex & Naomi depending on how I feel. All the main ones really, so those are the ones to list under friends & pairings. If you have a certain plot idea in mind that involves other characters, let me know. I'm pretty open (:

Let's see…I'll be submitting two of my own. Both guys, because I know how much y'all love submitting girls.

Updates will be sporadic. You know me, I tend to go crazy sometimes and post chapter after chapter, then suddenly stop for two weeks. Or forever, but I promise that won't happen without warning this time.

Well, I'm thinking that's it … here's your form, and good luck!

Oh, by the way, all students will be JUNIORS. That way they all theoretically have their drivers' licenses and stuff. Have fun!
