Uh… Hi there!
I don't know what I'm doing… How was your day?
So, I had this idea for a story… for actually quite a while now, I haven't written it down or told anybody it yet so, chances are, you'll be first people to hear-err see it.
But, I don’t want to start writing this story without knowing if people will actually read it or not so… This is kinda just going to be an introduction to the story I guess…
So I assume I should start with a summary?
Well, ok, I am the absolute worst at summarizing… which sucks :/
So…
This is going to be a horrible summary
...
Umm yeah…
(Also, this is only summarizing the first part of the story… uh yeah.)
Yeah that was horrible...
So how about instead, I just write the first half of the first chapter… Yeah that’s a better idea.
Just keep in mind before reading this, I'll be repeating all this stuff when (and if) I post the rest of the first chapter.
And yeah… That’s the first half of the first chapter…
As you can clearly see, my writing skills are generally horrible.
ANYWHO...
I have a few other things I'd like to go over quickly...
Anyways, if you would like to see the rest of this story, then cool ok, maybe I’ll finish writing it.
It all depends on what the voting results end up being…
In the meantime, you have a good rest of your day… Unless it’s 11:59 PM (or 23:59) … then I guess it doesn’t matter that much…

My story is set in a *magical world* that I’ve created, our main character is Lewis, who has recently been transported to this world and well, obviously, adjusting to a new world isn’t easy… But that seems to be the least of Lewis’s worries.
He ends up attending a school for hybrid creatures and… stuff and so-on. There’s magic and stuff… and yeah...

“Lewis, it’s time for dinner!! You know what day it is!” Aunt Maltilda yelled up the stairs, “Yeah I’m coming just give me a minute!” I yelled back trying to quickly clean up all the books that I was just reading.
Today was one of the 2 days in a year when all the neighborhood kids are sent outside to eat dinner together, although I’m technically not a child anymore, I still must go to them, along with my close friends, Zack, Leo, Mort and Azalea. There was always something strange about these dinners, everyone would have to drink the same thing, some odd, light blue liquid, most people just say it’s water with food coloring added to it so it’s “more fun”, but I don’t think that’s the case, plus, why do we have to drink the same thing when we eat whatever we want that’s on the table? Another thing is, after these dinners, occasionally, a few of the kids disappear from the village and the only way I know this is because I live in a small village, disappearances don’t go unnoticed and somehow… after someone disappears another child arrives and takes their place… it’s normally a baby or someone slightly older… And the caretakers of the missing child act like nothing happened and no one is missing.
“Come on, hurry up, I can see Mort and Zack leaving their houses already!” Aunt Matilda yelled up the stairs again
“Yeah, I’m coming, I’m coming!” I yelled back while running down the stairs, Aunt Matilda was waiting with the door open for me “Don’t eat too much.” she said with a smile. “I never do.” I replied while looking into her dark brown eyes, smiling back, then went outside.
Mort and Zack were just passing my house, “Lewis, hey, ready for dinner?” Mort asked, Mort was a messy guy, never combed his hair, which was brown, rarely showered, but he’s still a great friend.
“Guess so, you?” I asked
“Eh, sure, but seriously, why do we still have to go to these things?” Zack complained, Zack and I looked like twin brothers, we both had blonde/brown hair, blue eyes, same height, etc., but we act nothing alike, he’s the more adventurous one.
…
“No idea” Mort and I replied
We turned the corner to see the same old table in the same old spot, Leo and Azalea were already sitting down, they were always the early ones. They waved at us and we waved back quickly running to get a spot next to them.
-Fast forwards to after dinner-
(I’ll probably add what happens during dinner -which is nothing important- when -and if- I post the rest of the first chapter)
“I’m full.” Leo said
“Same here.” I added
We looked around, most of the kids at the table were still eating, “I’m gonna go home” I said
"Yeah, same here” said Mort
“See you guys tomorrow then?” I asked
“Yep” The rest replied
Then Mort and I went home.
Aunt Matilda was already waiting for me in the kitchen, “How was dinner?”
“Same as always” I looked outside, it was already dark out “I’m going to bed.”
“Ok, tell me if you feel sick.” Aunt Matilda replied “ok.” I said then went upstairs to go to bed.
...
I ended up lying in bed for a while, I wasn’t tired, I just replayed moments from dinner in my mind, I must say, I’ve never had better chicken… And the apple pie was great too, then again, it’s September, of course the apple pie was good…
Then I realized…
“Ok, tell me if you feel sick.”
Aunt Matilda knows that I would never eat so much that I would end up sick…
“Don’t eat too much”
“I never do.”
I even told her earlier today…
...
Who am I kidding? I’m probably just over-reacting …
But still, Aunt Matilda knows me…
...
Just stop thinking about it.

ANYWHO...
I have a few other things I'd like to go over quickly...
First things first, chances are, one of the characters in this story have the same first name as you, but since you only know about 5-6 of the character’s names, that’s not a big deal, but as time goes on and more characters are introduced… uh… so are more names
SO, if one of the characters has the same first name as you, then cool, if you don’t like that, I’ll change it, just ask (I am also willing to change the last names of characters if needed.)
And no, none of the characters that are currently in the story are supposed to be like real people, maybe you might act exactly like you do or how someone you know acts, that’s cool and is also most likely a coincidence, just to make that clear.

So, I already have all the main characters for my story… But I definitely feel like I need some more background characters
Now, before you get thinking that I’m doing one of those “character sign-ups” you should know… I’m not…
Not yet at least.
Considering that I didn’t say much about the world the story is set in you obviously don’t know much about it and it’s not really that simple so, I’m going to wait until we get to the part when most things are explained then maybe I’ll do a “character sign-up”
Keep in mind, when (and if) I do a “character sign-up”, that the chances of your character being added aren’t that high and chances of them ending up in the story are even lower.

Keep in mind, when (and if) I do a “character sign-up”, that the chances of your character being added aren’t that high and chances of them ending up in the story are even lower.
So, to keep track of all the characters and their stories, I draw them and write down all their information such as their name, age, etc. and I’m currently in the process of re-drawing all the characters and all that stuff… which is going to take a while and I would like to focus on that before adding new characters to the “collection” … So yeah…
(And to anyone who’s wondering, I do not plan on posting the drawings anywhere or showing them to anyone… I’m sorry if anyone is disappointed by this.)
(And to anyone who’s wondering, I do not plan on posting the drawings anywhere or showing them to anyone… I’m sorry if anyone is disappointed by this.)
I would also like to talk about how I’ll be telling these stories (yes there’s multiple… just let me explain)
Just realized I never mentioned the title of this story… it’s WTTMR… you’ll find out why eventually.
So… how I plan to tell this story is by having the main story, the occasional flash-back and other parts of the story that our main character Lewis is involved in.
So, the main story will probably be titled some like: WTTMR – Chapter # - Lewis’ Story – Part #
…
Not complicated at all
And flashbacks and other parts of the story will have similar title’s except, they won’t be “Lewis’ Story” they’ll be someone else’s story… And yeah.

My Writing schedule… I don’t have one… Woo!
…
So, if the voting results come in saying that I should post the rest of this story I plan to begin writing the rest of the first chapter once my summer break starts (22nd of June) and having it posted soon after that…
But once that’s done I’m probably going to need to be reminded to work on the rest of story…
So yeah… Not a big deal… heh heh, totally
I'm not saying that it's completely necessary to remind me, I'll probably end up working on the story whenever it comes to mind.

So I was just re-reading the first half of the first chapter and realized that not much happens, so I thought that maybe I should add an option to the poll saying that I should ask again once the first chapter is posted...
But then I realized that nothing really interesting happens until what I planned on being the second chapter of the story, so it seemed more logical to ask if people would like to see the more interesting part I guess...
Yeah that all totally made sense...
