The Story

It's time to write a story.
Why?--because I say so.
What's this story about?--It's about vampires, of course.
What makes this story different from the vampire tales ridiculed on this site?--Well, it's different because I'm involved, and I won't be criticizing myself, obviously. But you know what, it's even better than that. This story is one in which you may participate. Think of it as a "Choose your own adventure" story (Aw c'mon, you remember those).

Essentially, as the story progresses you get to decide the fate of the characters, the decisions they make, and incidents affect them. So, in the end, if the story sucks (and not in the good way), then it's your fault. (See how I passed the blame onto you? Clever, hm?)

Don't worry. I'm sure it will be fine; I'll be chaperoning you along the way...and censoring you...and blatantly adding my own opinions and ignoring yours. It'll be fun.

Let's begin shall we? First off, we need characters. Below I've listed the four main characters and a mini-biography of each. Yes, I have stolen the personality traits from other stories. So, bite me. Or, sue me...whichever you feel is more appropriate (just kidding about that).

Our characters need names. That's your job. (Be sure to specify to which character your proposed name belongs. Using the number system I've provided is a very good idea.)

Cast of Characters
Vampire 1:
Male, The Sherlock Holmes of vampires

Vampire 2:
Female, A sleuth who uses clues to unravel mysteries

Vampire 3:
Male, The "Dark Gift" gives him the power to read people's minds

Vampire 4:
Female, The Daphne of this Scooby Gang (as in 'Daphne Blake' not 'Daphne the Laurel Tree')

Well, that's it for now. Tune in soon for the first chapter.

Ciao,
Ana

--Oh, and one more thing: if you don't have a sense of humor, then you can't play. Well, you can, but it'll frustrate you to no end. See you soon.

--Post-postscriptum: This isn't intended for role-playing (although, you're more than welcome to do that on your own, if you wish). This is a story in which I write a paragraph, and then you decide if the vampire saves the damsel in distress or if he drains her and dumps her body off a bridge to see what kind of splash she makes. Is that clear?
