Hi guys, I've decided that I want to write a Christmas story with a twist, the twist being that you could be involved, if you post here saying you'd like to be in it

.
I'm basing it off of 'A Christmas Carol' (that's why it's called 'A Christmas Salslol'), and I'll probably write the bulk of it in November and release it in bits during December

If it's good, Easl might look into getting part of it on the Salcast. That is a bit 'might', however.
Hopefully this can get everyone looking forward to something and enjoying the 'Scape Lounge a little bit more now

On to the Characters:

On the merit of actually being a Tim, and the fact that when I go around on crutches I'm called that, I apply for Tiny Tim.

So if you can get this written then up in the christmas salscast, it will prob be the best salscast ever.
Scrum
Nov 2 2009, 10:14 AM
I'd expect both versions to be written by December, probably sooner but I have tests in mid-November so my time would be better spent revising probably

It won't stop it being written though
Cattius
Nov 2 2009, 11:05 AM
Kk I'll be mother seeing as there's only two places left

Showing off my role-player side.

@Cattius - accepted
@Hardrune - it'd be easier if it was actually a girl

I'll put you in anyway as the son, since I can make another 2 or 3 characters
I can probably create a few more parts in the Cratchet family because I remember the film had a few kids, not just 2

Ebenezer Scrooge - The miserly owner of a London counting-house, a nineteenth century term for an accountant's office. The three spirits of Christmas visit the stodgy bean-counter in hopes of reversing Scrooge's greedy, cold-hearted approach to life.
Bob Cratchit - Scrooge's clerk, a kind, mild, and very poor man with a large family. Though treated harshly by his boss, Cratchit remains a humble and dedicated employee.
Tiny Tim - Bob Cratchit's young son, crippled from birth. Tiny Tim is a highly sentimentalized character who Dickens uses to highlight the tribulations of England's poor and to elicit sympathy from his middle and upper class readership.
Jacob Marley - In the living world, Ebenezer Scrooge's equally greedy partner. Marley died seven years before the narrative opens. He appears to Scrooge as a ghost condemned to wander the world bound in heavy chains. Marley hopes to save his old partner from suff ering a similar fate.
The Ghost of Christmas Past - The first spirit to visit Scrooge, a curiously childlike apparition with a glowing head. He takes Scrooge on a tour of Christmases in his past. The spirit uses a cap to dampen the light emanating from his head.
The Ghost of Christmas Present - The second spirit to visit Scrooge, a majestic giant clad in a green robe. His lifespan is restricted to Christmas Day. He escorts Scrooge on a tour of his contemporaries' Holiday celebrations.
The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come - The third and final spirit to visit Scrooge, a silent phantom clad in a hooded black robe. He presents Scrooge with an ominous view of his lonely death.
Fred - Scrooge's nephew, a genial man who loves Christmas. He invites Scrooge to his Christmas party each and every year, only to be refused by his grumpy uncle.
Fezziwig - The jovial merchant with whom the young Scrooge apprenticed. Fezziwig was renowned for his wonderful Christmas parties.
Belle - A beautiful woman who Scrooge loved deeply when he was a young man. Belle broke off their engagement after Scrooge became consumed with greed and the lust for wealth. She later married another man.
Peter Cratchit - Bob's oldest son, who inherits his father's stiff-collared shirt for Christmas.
Martha Cratchit - Bob's oldest daughter, who works in a milliner's shop. (A milliner is a person who designs, produces, and sells hats.)
Fan - Scrooge's sister; Fred's mother. In Scrooge's vision of Christmases past, he remembers Fan picking him up from school and walking him home.
The Portly Gentlemen - Two gentlemen who visit Scrooge at the beginning of the tale seeking charitable contributions. Scrooge promptly throws them out of his office. Upon meeting one of them on the street after his visitations, he promises to make lavish donations to help the poor.
Mrs. Cratchit - Bob's wife, a kind and loving woman

You can be involved in the story but it's not a game I'm afraid.
Now assuming you want to be a female you can be Scrooge's sister, or you could be a pair of gentlemen (or just one of them) or Fezziwit
