I'm seriously going to ban all your asses one day. :3 <3
j/k ilu all.

Okay, since I seriously want to get this show on the road, I'm going to compile all these ideas and try to organize them.

THE BEGINNING
For members to sign up for the bootcamp, etc.
They will have to fill out a form asking them what they want to achieve out of this, what their limits are and if they have any preferences as to what kind of character they would like. Someone will then assign them a writing prompt according to their goals and whatnot, and will also assign them a partner. The two (or more) partners will then create their characters, possibly receiving critique on the way if they wish to have it, and eventually role-play with them. With their partners.

I'm going to need some people to help me with this, because it will be a lot for one person to do. If you're in charge of the bootcamp, you can participate as well, so don't worry. I'm not quite sure what all the different jobs will be quite yet, though. :/ I'm thinking critiques and a few people to help out with the general idea, of course. Maybe we can call them camp executives or something equally as queer. <3

There will be three different sections.
EXISTING CHARACTERS where you post your original characters and have the option of either receiving critique only or going through a series of prompts to develop your character further. I saw someone make a thread a while back called "Coffee with your character" or something like that. I thought that was kind of neat, so maybe we can incorporate that somewhere? Not necessarily just for existing characters, of course.

BOOTCAMP MAIN EVENT which will indefinitely be named something else in the final draft because I suck at naming things. This will be where those who signed up to expand their horizons will create their new characters.

The final section doesn't have a name yet, but this will be based off of Zander's/Misconception's idea of creating a character out of an object, animal, song or a different sort of subject matter.

Now, I need to get your guys' ideas on all that, what needs to be polished/changed, etc.

Hm....
what if you created a completely new person, and basically wrote about them in your life, but they'd be like your alter ego, o something. That way, they'd have to talk and act different, but you could see the obvious differences between your characters.
But also, you'd be really familiar with the character's surroundings, so you'd have more of a chance to develop them as a character.

[misused&&misguided]

Personally, I think this all sounds great. Love the final section, I had an idea similar to that once. One thing I thought of though would be a 'Meet the Parents' type of a day. Just instead, you could have all the characters interact or something. I don't know, just an idea that kind of sucks, but yeah...
