I am...
well, I want to be an author. One day. Well. For the purpose of this anyway.

So why don't I start off writing about friends before delving into the world of made-up characters with sensible plots and decent character development.
I have a simple plan in mind, of maybe ten characters, (myself included), being stuck somewhere with our plan obviously being to escape.

We can have protagonists, antagonists, indifferents, children, whatever. All I am asking for is, if you want to be a main character or be mentioned or have a (whatever a cameo is for book... you know, like standing in the background looking cool) then just drop some minor character details here. :D

Cheers guys and gals.

If worst comes to worst, we'll just end up locked in a hotel run by the villainous SlappyMcGee and his sidekick Isaacx.
Also as a sidenote, I am not looking for other authors, just characters.

Can I have multiple cameos(?) in this book just doing something in the background? Doesn't matter what, anything you can come up with.
Or make my character a bear fighter.

Arstar (the RPG held on IRC) does essentially this. ChaoStar is editing our first year or so of role plays into a book, and apparently it's pretty good.

EDIT: We've just started our new 'season' I guess, so if you like writing, now's a great time to join.

Alright, so what's the direction we want to take this?

I'm not a writer, but you can bounce ideas off me, and I can certainly proofread/add lines to the story.

I was always a bigger fan of Cheech and Chong.
