Wildcard Character Slot Idea
6 years ago
General
Hello!
So, this may be a terrible idea - but I thought I'd post about it to see what the general reaction would be:
I enjoy writing quite a bit, but what I love the most about it is bringing some form of joy to the reader taking part in it. Now commissions are a great way to try and bring that spark of joy to another person, but that of course takes time for the author and money for the person who wants the commission. So, this got me thinking of a way to involve others in a story without the need for either of that.
Drum roll?
Wildcard character slots.
Taking the Atlas series as an example, if some of the characters filling the world were wildcarded, i.e you could book that character's role in the world as your own OC, would you be interested?
This means the character would still follow the arc as intended and would function as the story originally would have progressed, but that character and everything that happens to that character is actually your sona. We may even work something out between us where the originally idea may bend to your preferences in multiple scenes (For example: A growth off)
It would be something like:
Wildcard slot - Pitfighter 1: Likely to go toe to toe against Atlas. Outcome uncertain, may result in being dominated.
You could book to be the above character, free of charge, with the caveat that I have writer's freedom to do what I wanted with my story. I guess it sort of becomes a bit of a gamble of where your character might end up and how much customization you're willing to give up for a free appearance that may or may not last several chapters.
Anyway, this is a spitball and people may literally throw bananas at me if they don't like it (Banana protein shakes would be preferred) but I'm interested to hear your thoughts!
