Hi Listkids,
I'd like us to try something new that I call "Foundations". Why you ask? Well, what I would like to achieve with "Foundations" is to help the lurkers on the likst feel more noticed without having to write a story. So I propose this:
Lurkers who want to can submit(post) to the list "story foundations" that we'll call "Foundations", to the list for the writers on the list to run with if they lise or just to spark a dusscusion on the list. What is a "story foundation"? Well basiclly it's just that the frame work of a story. Think of it as a challenge with more detail and restrictions. Some of the things that you might put in a "Foundation" would be:

	The fandom(s) where the story takes place
	List of charactors that should appear in the story what pairing(s) should appear in the story what if any powers or abilites they have or develope
	Create characters you would like to see in the story give a detailed discription
	Provide backrounds for the charactors(if you want) -for example: Xander comes from a warm and loving family. Xander is the direct decendent of both Angel and Spike on both sides of his family. Xander the "Hand of Fate", is a child of Nyx the goddess and embodiment of the night and child of Chaos, mother of the Destinies and ruthless avenging Fates who were regarded as old women occupied in spinning, Clotho the Spinner of the thread of life and Lachesis the Disposer of Lots, she who allots every man his destiny and Atropos She Who Cannot Be Turned, who finally cuts the thread of life who give men at their birth both evil and good to have, and they pursue the transgressions of men and of gods, and these goddesses never cease from their dread anger until they punish the sinner with a sore penalty. Also deadly Night bore Nemesis Indignation to afflict mortal men, and after her, Deceit Apate and Friendship and hateful Age and hard-hearted Strife.
	Give that problem they must discover then solve (if you want)
	Locations that you would like to see appear in the story.

It just an idea.

Please let me know what you think,
Listmom
