So everyone I'm back. After some much needed persuasion from LookImUpsideDown I have decided to give an island OC story a go. They seem to have whittled away and they're just so much fun to read as well as write so I'm going to give it a shot.

Now a few things before we get to the business end of the chapter. Please NO MARY SUE'S. They're not fun to read or write and will not even be considered. And please be realistic with them. I don't want a 17 year old girl who's a leader on the island, is with Sawyer, Jack and Sayid from a world famous band or superstar actress. It just isn't plausible. Also I do not want husbands and wives of the characters. They can be related. Cousins I'll accept and that kind of family but nothing too close. Where's the fun in this story if there isn't a true development between each and every character.

Be creative. I want individual character's, something different for people to read. I know it's hard but it will be all the more worthwhile when you're reading it. And they'll also have a much higher chance of getting into this story which is another plus right?.

The more you write about your character the better. I'll have much more to work with and they will be considered well ahead of the lesser described characters okay.

So enough of the rules my friends. Have fun and be creative and I'm looking forward to seeing a variety of characters. The amount of character's I'm picking will be between the 8-10 range so again make them stand out from the crowd in a realistic way. I will reopen the submission's at roughly the halfway mark for some Tailies to keep an eye out for that.

So there we are all. Enjoy and I'm stressing for you to make new characters. Otherwise every story would be the same and it isn't fair making your fellow writers compete with other writers with their own stories. So peace out everyone.
