holy crap, massive pimping
characteraday
characteraday is a community for original writers and fanfiction writers alike. At characteraday, writers can create characters for their own original universes or create a character to drop in an established universe.
Every day, a picture is posted of a person or people (sometimes an animal) along with some prompts to fill in (name, general description, back story, etc) as well as a personalized question made just for that character. You're not limited to the amount of characters to create from the person that's posted. If your imagination decides to gift you with several characters, feel free to come up with as many as you want.
Here are a few examples.
Another part of characteraday are the _____-a-Week prompts that are posted. Every day, along with the character post, another post goes up with daily themes.
Monday - Scene a Week - a random scene is chosen and posted with questions and prompts regarding said scene. Example
Tuesday - Name a Week - a name is chosen and posted with questions and prompts regarding said name. Example
Wednesday - Place a Week - a picture of place is chosen and posted with questions and prompts regarding said place. Example
Thursday - Ship a Week - four pictures are chosen and posted together with questions and prompts regarding said pictures. The idea is to choose two or more of the four people and pair them together, whether romantically or within a friendship. Example
Friday - Title a Week - a title is chosen and posted with questions and prompts regarding said title. Example
Saturday - Item a Week - an object or an item is posted with questions and prompts regarding said item. Example
Sunday - Random a Week - song lyrics, a quote, or a 'spook' is posted with questions and prompts regarding said random item. Example
Basically, it's an open playground for writers who need a place to get those ~extra characters~ out, or to put a face to a name, or a name to a face. We're very laid back, but we do have some rules.
If you'd like to kick start your imagination, I think characteraday is the place for you!
And if those bunnies start hopping, our sister community, characteratplay, is a place to post any fleshed out stories that might come from characters or scenes or objects from characteraday.

Can you imagine Sawyer striking up a conversation with Edward Cullen? Or Dean Winchester buying Sookie Stackhouse a drink?
Yeah, me neither. That's where the_revelry comes in.
the_revelry is a new semi-srs bsns multi-fandom role play designed to bring characters from a number of universes into one fantastically bizarre universe. Characters can interact with one another through diary entries that are posted to the main community. Any character from any fandom (books, movies, tv shows, etc.) is welcome!
If you have the time, I encourage you to join in on the fun. It would be wonderful to have a variety of characters to play with!

THE STORY
December 21st, 2004. It has been ninety-one days since Oceanic Flight 815 crashed on an unknown, uncharted island. Charlie Pace and Desmond Hume have found themselves in The Looking Glass, an underwater DHARMA Initiative station used for communications, with the intent of stopping the signal interference. Should they succeed, their fellow castaways will be saved. Charlie has accepted his harrowing fate, as foretold by one of Desmond's flashes...until another vision contradicts his predicted death, and he is given another chance.
(In a nutshell: The canon events that occurred in the Looking Glass station will be rewritten and Charlie will live. Once the roles have been filled, the group will chat and figure out what they'd like to do with their character in this new universe. What fun would that be for you, anyway? And while the summary does sound rather Charlie- and Desmond-centric, after the first post or two, they'll "fade" into the background. It will be an ensemble RP.)
