Me too, I think it's mostly school really...and real life. And procrastination. And the tournament...

Just a lot of things I believe~

On the Observer Protocol, its due to the Origins Collab. :) Very silent we are.

i actually did incite a clan event in my clan. however the whole clan interaction regard there is nothing to report.

We are dying....again...

Dying is not really the term to be honest, more of lurking. As we always do, which by no means is good at all. That and also busy.

You guys know any good tips for horror writing? Maybe know any websites that could help? My characater was made with spookiness in mind.

I'm not really one who dwells much into horror very often, but these are just some links I found that might take you to the right direction:

• 5 Elements to a Good Horror Story
  
• The Horror Genre: On Writing Horror and Avoiding Cliches
  
• 25 Things You Should Know About Writing Horror
  
• How to Write Today's Horror Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3
  
• SlimeBeast's works (which a close buddy introduced to me)
  
• Horror Writing Genres
  

But that's all I got~I hope it helps, also it's a good idea to read any sort of horror stories to exercise you mind to ease into the mindset of horror. I've actually done it once when reading a blog which featured lots of horror and paranormal articles and stories both made up and in real life, for a few weeks my mind only managed to see the outline of dark shadows, imagine great hands crawling up from under my bed take me away and other things hahaha~

I'm wondering if this is a good idea to do: Community Characters.

*What are they?*- They are characters created with the intent to be used by the community.

*What would one be like?*-

Something like this. A basic, almost generic, character, but one that could be fleshed out as others add to the character's story.

*How would they work?*- Well... It depends on how you use them. You may incorporate one into your stories as a side character. You may write a story in a CC's point of view, showing how the Gladiator System works in your character's world. You could use a CC to help you transition from one battle to another, or help keep continuity.

This is all I can really think of right now. If you guys have any other idea of how this could work, let me know. :)

Heh, I'm getting the vibe that you like bouncing ideas off others every now and then! Truthfully, I think a lot of writers currently have side characters they'll implement in and out of battles, like prologues and epilogues and whatnot. If you used a charter in a story that you said was a gladiator no one would really call you out on it. You might want to check out the clans, or if you have an idea for an event bring it up here. I wouldn't advise hosting it quite yet, people are freaking out over the tournament currently. Maybe between the rounds if it's a quick one.

So there's only about 4 or 5 clans as of the moment right? Is there something against deleting inactive clans?

That many? I was under the impression there were three, yours, Xates, and mine

There's AcraSanctum as well.

And Cafe De Morte, in a way

Who are they? Who's the leader?

SJCRPV for Acra, Hewitt for Cafe

I totally fucked up the name of the clans too

These clans are like a year old... but guess they are still clans lol.
