HelpAmara L's Halloween Congrats!
I just love Halloween, don't you? I'm a big kid and always will be, so it's easy for me to get OTT at this time of year.
In any case, I've been intending to do a Halloween themed congrats for a while now. Due to the late planning, this will probably go past Halloween into early November... my original plan was to have it end around Oct 31st, but I wasn't sure I'd have the time and now it turns out I do, it's too late. Still, rounds of this Congrats will run every 1-3 days average, and will be Halloween/Supernatural themed.
Sign up will end on Monday 24th, whereupon the first round will start. Signups will be allowed into week #1 and maybe week #2 if I'm feeling nice. In principle you could be presumed missing if you miss 3 rounds, but because of the possible quickfire nature of this game and because of my own recent bad track record on this, I will give warnings rather than dropping people. You will only be dropped if it becomes painfully obvious that you've vanished.
While this is somewhat plot based, the nature of your writing it up to you. Paragraphs, sentences, notes and bullet points are accepted, in whichever grammatical person or style you wish. The plot will be given in 3-5 bullet plot points each round. This Congrats is set in an AU where zombies, ghouls, witches, warlocks, pumpkin-headed headless horsemen, werewolves and the rest of the Halloween staple cast are presumably as common as a...common thing... but beyond that, I don't want to set any limits. You can create as much of a narrative about this world your respective families live in as you like, and I invite you in the absence of a central Congrats setting to be as creative and wacky or as realistic as you like.
It should be noted that this Congrats will be fantasy / mild-horror / Halloween themed. It might not be to all tastes. While the plots might centre around being bitten by a werewolf, for example, I don't think this will be a problem. However, if in your respective plots you wish to go into more horror and graphic realms, bear in mind the rules of the forum, and mark your replies as being of the more mature variety. I'm pretty sure we won't have any problems and that this goes without saying, but I thought I should say this anyway. If you aren't a horror aficionado, please don't be put off as many of the plot lines will be more fantasy and light-hearted horror. Plotwise, I will try to accommodate everyone's tastes and given the free reign in the setting, you can really do as you like.
In terms of naming, there will be a mix of lists, links, initials and so forth. Divorcees, heterosexual, homosexual and unmarried couples are all allowed, as always.
I think that's all covered, shall we proceed, kiddies? (I'll stop the Crypt references one day, I promise)

INTRODUCTION PLOT POINTS
These can be sentences, notes or bullet points as previously mentioned, and should not be too long unless you are naturally verbose. You can expand on these at a later date. Equally, feel free to write more than the points cover.
#1: Where do your couple live? What kind of world and society is it?
#2: What kind of people are your couple? What is their history, their personality, their nature? If they're magic users, do you want to expand on that a bit? Basically, who are they?
#3: How did your couple meet, and what is their situation? Are they newlyweds or an unmarried couple who have known each other for decades?
SEE YOU NEXT ROUND!
EHEHEHEHE!
