Post 3. Writing contest info 2.
Oc Set 1 - Oc Set 2 - Prompts
---
Step One: Pick a Set. Choose either the first or second couple. [Look! Teksteks! I'm so on the ball today.]
Step Two: Pick Prompts. You must utilize a minimum of three, but can use as many as you want.
---
Like the OT Star System, you'll notice the couples have the same names. I wish I could explain the long, ridiculous (not to mention dorky, rp-related) way that happened. Suffice to say, their names are what they are. (Luv you, Will. Cat's out of the bag!)
And as for the elements- think of those as other keywords to work on when devising their personalities and whatnot.
"Step 1: OC Set 1"
Character Sheet: The 'Air/Water' couple.
 
Matthew (Matt) 18 --- Keyword: Intellectual.
(Cool, impatient, direct, persuasive, reserved, gentle.)
Krista (Kris) 15 --- Keyword: Cute.
(Sweet, giving, craftsy, shy, resourceful, clever.)
Premise: Lead female's poor family wins/gains a scholarship to the prestigious private co-ed school, where she invariably meets the male lead- a student council member from a long-standing business family. Great for classic narrations and new twists on old-standing ideas.
Elements: (Use these to earn extra points.)
The Student Council, Track Team, Choir, Library, A Passed Note, Study Date, (His) Pet Kitten, Promise Rings, First Kiss.
"Step 1: OC Set 2"
Character Sheet: The "Fire/Earth" couple.
 
Matthew (Matt) 23 --- Keyword: Confident
(Fun-loving, carefree, smart, perverse, talkative, kind, protective, possessive.)
Krista (Kris) 19 --- Keyword: Dreamy
(Suspicious, hopeful, quiet, cuddly, mild, secretive.)
Premise: Lead male's life is turned upside down when the lead female is introduced into his life, by whatever unusual means the author devises. Her lack of a past, mysterious origin, or strange circumstances are the catalyst of change in both of their lifestyles. This couple's story is more 'open-ended,' and could be well-suited for a fantasy or fantastic setting.
*Important
Had a little trouble with this last year: Unless you're sure, look up the word 'perverse.' It is not 'perverted.' Ah, hell, here's a link: Perverse.
Elements: (Use these to earn extra points.)
A New Job, Things Falling from the sky, A Necklace, Rabbits, (Her) Mysterious Jewelry, A Brawl, Cloud Watching, Drinking Game, Stolen Kisses.
"Step 2: Prompts"
Remember, you must choose at least three.
New prompts added occasionally- So check back.
