Taken ranks will be posted and updated on my profile. Because wouldn't it be embarrassing if I had to tell you that someone's already taken that rank you wanted? Yeah.
Welcome to Collision, my new multichaptered everyone's-an-OC fanfic! Obviously, everyone's gonna be an OC in this fic. No Ichigo, no Rukia, no Aizen. Those guys have already died centuries, or maybe even a couple millennia ago, and are no longer a part of the Bleach world in this story.
This type of fic is more writer/reader interaction than anything else, and since everyone's gone, we need new shinigami! Hurry up if you want those nice ranks, we already have a few positions taken! The more characters I get, the easier it is for me to write. And the more I write, the more YOU get to read ;)
ABSOLUTELY NO MARY SUES/GARY STU'S. ANY SUBMITTED WILL BE REJECTED/COMPLETELY ALTERED. Confused about Mary Sues? Take a litmus test (they're all over the internet).
A few tips from me on how to avoid creating Sues: Everyone has flaws, and it's impossible for the whole world to feel positive about someone. Remember that "oh I feel so insecure and angsty and horrible because I'm a monster and I'm too strong for my own good and I hate myself" is totally NOT a flaw. And never, ever, EVER base an OC on yourself, or who you wish you were like. Just don't.
SEND OCs BY PM (preferred).

Feel free to include any other information. Also keep in mind that this will be MY story, I have the right to get rid of any characters so don't come to me with a hissy fit because I killed your OC. (sorry for sounding like a jerk, but seriously, sometimes it's hard to get through otherwise ._.)
Thank you very much, and enjoy the story!
