As many of us here are veterans to the world of e-fedding, there are also some that are brand new and might not know how to get things going. This is a simply 'how to' to help kick things off. You create an application, put together a profile for a character you love and now it's time to tell the story...but how? I always say to keep things easy- have them grabbing a drink in a bar and telling the bartender how happy/ sad/ angry they are about situation a/ b/ c, and build from there. You have come here to write, so do that. Don't be worried about styles, content or anything in between, just give it a shot and see how it goes. If you are stuck for pointers, not only is my 'door always open', but there are so many other stars here you can learn from too. All it takes is practice!
Another thing that might help out...dark shows. While we all partake on the monthly PPV's, that doesn't mean each other week is dull and quiet. LA Underground actually has a show on every Friday night, which is untelevised and unreported online. This is called a 'dark show' featuring unknown talent and local wannabes, and it's sole purpose is to allow main roster stars to appear on stage and in front of a crowd.
These shows all take place in the same location, the Underground Arena. So if you don't want your RP or challenge to happen in a bar, Starbucks, nail salon or strip club, then you don't have to! Get your character to march out to the ring with a microphone, kick some unknown noobs out of the ring and make your statement. Just make sure to note; dark shows happen every Friday night!
To continue on that, there is one requirement for your characters; activity. I would like to see either a challenge for a match, or a character development promo each month. Just one, not asking for much more. Just to help flesh out the characters. Of course there are no limits, so feel free to tell your story in as little or as many words as you like.
