New Jersey and Arizona
Alright, there won't be any posts for the next two weeks. This is because it's: A) Thanksgiving weekend and even students who write for a hobby deserve a break, and: B) Both Rammy and I are flying far far away, to exciting places. I will Post again in two weeks, because I won't have any internet while I'm there, and Rammy just doesn't like to write on here. Anyway, check back then!

They're coming to take me away, ha ha...
Song of the week: They're Coming To Take Me Away by Dr. Demento
Reading of the Week: Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. Alright, so maybe all his books follow the same pattern, but this one was still a pretty good read. It actually kept me guessing even though I've read Angels and Demons, seen The DaVinci Code, and discussed Deception Point with my father. What can I say? I love his work!
Update Schedual:
English Project: Just updated. Go and read it!
Trading Art Tips: Still nothing new.
The Marked: Hiatus
Wicker: Another Hiatus
For now I think most of my energy will be put towards EP, but I'll consider the others.
Soundtracks:
I'm considering putting a prefered soundtrack in the beginning of each story, or maybe each chapter. I must discuss this with Rammy.
General News:
Well...it feels like it's been years since I've written anything here. I'm currently in the process of trying to decide whether or not to convince Rammy that we need a literary magazine at our school. Maybe if I dangle a few slash cookies in front of her she'll agree.
Character of the Week: Robert "Robbi" Pyres
Why we chose him: Robbi is everyone's favorite little blonde singer. Best friend of Josh and Avery, he's a pretty cool little guy who isn't afraid of being himself, even if it means flirting shamelessly with a certain heterochromic bartender.
Fav. Food: Tacos
Least Fav. Food: Bananas
Fav. Music: His own, but he enjoys Trapt and Linkin Park as well
Least Fav. Music: ELO
Fav. Color: Green
Least Fav. Color: Orange
Obscure Character of the Week (can you spot this person in the story?): Jeremy
First Apperance: Chapter 2 of EP
Tip to find him: Remember not to be near him, a bat, and Loren all at the same time.

update 3
As stated by the title, this is post number three. Glad we got that figured out.
Some stats for you all!
Song of the Week: Jenny by The Click Five
Prefered Reading: The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. (Good Book. Takes a while to get into, and most of us tend to lean towards a prefered character, but still. Check it out!)
Now, on with the post.
Update Schedule
English Project: More delays. Won't be updating for a while
TAT: Even worse that EP
Wicker: Will be updated when I feel like.
Recruitment News
Still looking for no one right now. Still, we would always be willing to consider you.
Main Character of the Week: Loren
Why we chose him: We felt that he deserved a bit of love. He's sort of the baby of the group (Only Axel is younger), and we put him through such mean things.
A bit about him: Slightly crazy, slightly romantic, slightly unsure, all rolled into a human-like shell, and that's Loren. He can sometimes atc like a tough guy, but he's really just a sweet person at heart. Not exactly the brightest when it comes to school related things, but he makes up for it in figuring things out
Favorite Music: Classical (Particularly Chopin)
Favorite Food: Jelly doughnuts
Favorite Hobby: Playing video games in his basement with his best friend Nina (Who usually whoops his tail)
Favorite Color: Indigo dye
Least Favorite Music: Fall Out Boy
Least Fav. Food: Hotdogs
Least Fav. Color: Brown
Obscure Character of the Week (Can you spot this person in a story?): Cain
First Seen: Chapter 2 of TAT.
Role: The british guitarist who demands sweet comestibles when Robbi returns with a pile of sugary food.

Recruiting
Well, Rammy and I went to recruit some more people to help us out with ideas and such, but we ended up running into some problems. One girl, for instance, ended up building up a rather large debt to Rammy, and we never see her anymore. Everyone else just doesn't like to write.
We got our newest story online (Woot!)! I can't really summaraize it much, but go check it out on the ficpress account, AEJ3145. It's called English Project. While there, you should check out the others.
Update Schedual:
English Project: The next chapters would have gone up next Wednesday, but they need a bit of rewriting. Therefore, they will have to hold off until next Friday. Go and visit them!
Trading Art Tips: Not going to be updated until next month at the earliest. Stay with us though.
Wicker: Next month as well.
The Marked: On a temporary hiatus while I get things planned out.
Recruitment Schedual:
We are currently not actively looking for anyone to help us. However, if you feel that you would like to be up for consideration, send us a resume. This should include a few samples of your writing for us to approve, your prefered style of writing, and a few of your favorite genres/influences/etc... (But I swear that if you only like vampires, and read nothing but Anne Rice, I will hunt you down and give you a wet willy! We want originality and, preferably, a wide range of experience in literature. If you don't have many, but aren't limited to one, that's okay too.)
If you aren't looking to be a major part of the brainstorming process, but would rather be a beta, then we shall create a test for you. It will be several samples of writing with mistakes (both obvious and not) that I will ask you to edit. We'll score you, and see if you're up to Cloudy's standards.
Not really in a mood to do either of those, but have a character who you know would be wonderful for out stories or a story idea you'd like us to consider? Send it on over! For characters, however, we would really appreciate it if you fill out a basic template with their stats (hair color, eye color, skin tone, height, weight, build, personality, etc.). We promise to give all things equal consideration.
Don't like any of those choices? You can be a faithful reader/reviewer. We appreciate constructive comments, and if you send us a well thought out e-mail, we will most likely respond.
Upcoming Stories For The 07/08 Season:
Life Less Ambiguous: The story of a young (if 217 is young) vampire named Jesse, and his experiences after recently moving from England to America.
Well, that's all for now kiddies. Go on and check out some of the stuff I've mentioned, or just pass right on by. You could even leave us a comment.
P.S. I reccomend, for all you people, the Bowling for Soup version of Hit Me Baby (One More Time). Good song!

All things TAT
Hello and welcome. This will be my author's blog, since I felt it wasn't right to post it in the cafe. Now, the title of the blog is a sort of inside thing (meaning only the writing team knows its meaning), but don't let that distract you. Anyway, this is where you will be able to keep track of everything we're working, mostly in TAT.
Now, for this first post, there isn't much news. I figure I should introduce you to the writing team though:
AEJ3145: A.K.A. Che or A.J. I am the main person. I actually do the bulk of the writing (I'm serious! I'm not just being an egoist), and I recruit new people.
Cloudy-Weather: A.K.A. Cloudy or, in chat, elle. A wonderful little person. She was the first person to actually begin helping me out on my stuff, and she still holds the position of my beta. If you ever spot her somewhere, just drop by and give her a shout-out.
Rammy-fox: A.K.A. Foxxy or Ram. Even though I ended up grabbing her only a few weeks prior to this, I've had a great deal of fun working with her. She's actually my co-author and two of the latest stories are credited to both of us. She would also happen to be the person who does all of the fan art and character designs that you will eventually see.
Now, as I mentioned, this will be the blog to check for update schedules, character profiles, and such. Nothing big right now. It will be updated...um...every Saturday.
Update Schedule! Exciting!
TAT has been recently updated and nothing is planned for the latest chapters. I have begun to work out some ideas, but nothing's final so don't get to happy.
Wicker's latest chapter may be getting written in a week or two, or it may be several months. I never know.
The Marked is currently going under rennovation to remove and exterminate any and all mary sues.
Characters:
Total, I have, online, a grand count of 22 characters spread across three stories. That's a lot! I should be cutting back soon, though, because they've all been introduced. And, in all of those, 17 have been named in the story, only 7 of those have dialogue, and only two of those are females. Wow...I should get working on some ladies.
