2. An old lady whose favorite hobby is bungee jumping
3. A little boy who is a mathematics genius
4. A rabbit whose career is a professional spy for the
government
5. A robot that has 100 eyes


Settings
1. A tribal village in the jungle
2. A palace in an underwater city
3. A planet that is located outside of our galaxy
4. A city made entirely out of stone
5. A small town in the clouds


Plots
1. People keep wandering into a mysterious store and don’t
ever come out
2. Trees begin to come to life at night and are stealing
everyone's hats
3. All candy and chocolate has been banned due to a sugar
shortage
4. All parents have decided to go on strike and life has gone
crazy because of the lack of discipline
5. An evil monkey has made everyone dye their hair
purple and wear purple clothing



Well there are your choices! Have fun with them!

Hehe, this could be funny, I'll have a go.

Question 1 : Is there a deadline?

Question 2 : Does the evil monkey have to make them dye there skin purple, that could be hard, and I think hair and clothes is enough . . .

Okay point taken... just hair and skin and I don't think I'll make a deadline except have it done before the end of summer vacay
(about August 20th or so)

If someone chooses a character/plot/setting before you, you can re-use them, right?

Yeah you can reuse choices! Every story will be different because of a persons personality

Yeah I gave a lot of time just because I know people have busy schedules (like me) Have fun with it!
