Hello! This is a NTWF/Taco story-- or, it will be. You see, it's sort of a mixture of both: I will be including the NTWF, Tabloid Town, and Guild elements within the story as well as Taco elements. I would say that it is both an NTWF story and an Icy Taco-related story. And I am here asking you if I may use your personas/characters (be them from Guilds, characters you've introduced to the IC Chat, old Alter Egos from the Bloids to whom you want to give a last hurrah, maybe Medieval characters if Lizzie helps me get used to 'em).
If you're interested, since some of us have a lot of characters, please let me know which ones you would like me to use in the story. I may ask for more information about characters I'm unfamiliar with. My only request: please don't ask for characters that have a lot of 'baggage' (e.g. a lot of backstory that you need to know about them; of course, a bit of backstory is fine).
FAQ:
What is the point of this story? Why are you doing it?
It's simple. By including elements from all over the forum, I want to somewhat bridge the 'gap' between the Icy Taco and the rest of the forum. Of course, there have been several newcomers recently, but we've lately spoken of making the Taco more accessible and so on-- I hope this will help with that.
Do I need to be a regular Tacoer to have my character be used or read this?
No. I want this to be accessible to anyone who has general knowledge of what the NTWF world would be like if the forum were a magical land and all that. I admit, this story will be a spiritual sequel to a roleplay that has happened here in the past, but you won't need to have read it/participated in it to understand this NTWF/Taco story. If need be, I'll provide a quick little summary to it, but I really feel like having read it would only give a slight bonus on the "hey I know what his name is" skill.
Why isn't it a roleplay since this is a ROLEPLAYING board, hotshot?
Because I've wanted to write an actual NTWF story since I was 13 or so and read PFA's.
What will this story be about? What's the genre?
Well, there will be satire, lighthearted elements, people interacting when they should not be within 100 yards of one another, and dark moments as well-- nothing forum-inappropriate, obviously. The plot of the story is, in laconic style, about an army of evil people that hate disorder and magic and that newfangled "fun" concept which is so abundant on this forum, and there's a group of quirky rebels and Trope dropping. Please note, and this is important: this story is set in an Alternate Universe in which they successfully took over the NTWF; thus, if I include your characters/persona in this story, you don't need to worry about abiding by that canon with them for the rest of time.
Also, the Icy Taco/IC Chat as a whole is pretty broad with rules. Bring in a character from your favorite book, or bring in your favorite president as a robot. Whatever. It won't be too much of a stretch to throw in a Mafia character and say "they took a wrong turn and they don't know what the mess is about, really."
Two other miscellaneous notes:
Once I start to write, I'll include a table of contents here instead. For now, feel free to post here saying "hey you can use X characters of mine" or PM me if you want it to be a surprise to your fellow NTWFers or something.

Two other miscellaneous notes:
- I reserve the right to update as sporadically as I want. I volunteer and go to school and stuff on top of this. I may go a month without updating, but I doubt it'll go that far.
- This is being posted here on the Taco Cart because, at the end of the day, this will focus on the Icy Taco as a location within the setting. It still will be written in prose, and can include any characters you want (even you!) and is open to anyone.
Once I start to write, I'll include a table of contents here instead. For now, feel free to post here saying "hey you can use X characters of mine" or PM me if you want it to be a surprise to your fellow NTWFers or something.
