What if your blurb was written by your characters? (Promotion time)

[Macarenaoftime]

he paper activated an electronic speaker that played a tinny midi rendition of "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley. The paper then combusted, revealing a tiny, mysterious key. The key opened a safe in her cellar. The safe was full of swizzles sherbet dips.)

This last part made me chuckle

[lunagraves714]

I’ve been Rick-rolled 3 times today. It needs to end

[nathanKmcwilliams]

Sounds interesting. I'll do three for now. The main protagonist, antagonist, and secondary main character.

Rip Vykirson Scratches chin "All I do is fight people that do bad things. Nothin' special about that. Though my path to becoming a Martial Ranger has been messed up by that Loki jerk. Just another obstacle to tear down I guess."

Erick Blackhart deep epic voice "In a world where pathetic losers have powers they don't deserve...one man, will kick every single-" coughs violently and continues in his normal scratchy voice "-Butt that stands in his way to become the most powerful. Nobody's gonna stop him from taking what he wants."

Freya Vykirson "What? Someone wrote a story about that little lizard loser? Ugh. Pass." Crumples up paper and tosses it over her shoulder.

[MorganaMevil]

I love this! Here’s my go at it:

Ace: My wonderful life as an amazing person was suddenly up-ended when the leader of Roanoke called in on a favor. Well, maybe I’m using the term “favor” loosely. Maybe it was a deal I’d struck to avoid prison time. But, still. She called on me because I am so impressive, and her daughter (a girl long thought dead) had returned home and was in danger once again. I was called in to determine who the threat was and eliminate them.
Gwyn: [interjects] Dude. The story is told from my perspective. Stop being dramatic. Also, I’m the one who figures out who Is trying to kill me. All you do is nearly get us killed a few times.
Ace: [huffs] You don’t appreciate me, Wyn. And it hurts. We both know this story is about my heroics and our destined love.
Gwyn: No. No, this story is about me finding out that I’m not entirely human after someone kidnaps me and knocks me out with a car door.
Reese: Me! That’s me!
Gwyn: [rolls eyes] Then someone keeps trying to kill me, and no one will tell me why.
Ace: Well, I like mine better. It sounds like a more interesting read. Plus, my MC sounds handsome.
Gwyn: Why are we friends?
Ace: Cause I’m hot.
Gwyn: I don’t think that’s it...
Ace: Because I save you from the terrible bad guy.
Gwyn: That’s not... that’s not even what happens. You were there. Just read the book.

Flare: So, let's get this straight. I was just minding my own bussiness when a weird guy started to follow me–
Shade: I told you it was an accident. I mistook you for someone else.
Flare: Yeah sure, with one of the hundreds of thousands of dragon people that live here, right? That's what I thought.... So, he "accidentally" follows me, then he "accidentally" freezes me in a crystal and instead of explaining anything he ACCIDENTALLY drags me into a fight with an even creepier guy. So things are going pretty smooth here... And also I'm amnesiac.
Shade: And she wants me to help her, which I won't–
Khaus: Which you will do.

I love this idea. I'm going to be silly because my novel is actually really serious... So, here's mine...

Stellar: There was once this stubborn man who didn't listen to me-

Steppenwolf: Excuse me?

Stellar: And he broke himself because-

Tilde: Whose breaking who?

Stellar: -he didn't listen to specifically me.

Steppenwolf: Are you having an episode again?

Stellar: There's lots of episodes to be viewed...

Steppenwolf: Fine. Be mysterious, see if I care!

Tilde: I'm hungry again fyi. Can someone feed me?

After being cast in a lead role of his school play, Luciano discovers that the theatre isn’t all it seems. His fellow actors are fighting a shadow war against aliens in a secret government organization, and he’s their newest recruit. High school is tough as it is, but learning lines, fighting an extraterrestrial invasion, and dealing with an inconvenient new crush is making him feel that he is possibly in over his head.

Luciano's Synopsis:
I started attending a rich kid private school, and now I've accidentally joined a gang that fights Aliens. But hey, the leader's pretty cool, and maybe kind of handsome, b-but you didn't hear that from me!

Min-Soo: * reading the novel's description * "Everyone you love will either die or live a lie." Wow, Myung...it's like you're not in the story at all!

Myung: * sputters his drink, coughing violently * What?! People love me! I'm lovable!

Min-Soo: I don't know, I mean you're not exactly a nice guy.

Myung: At least I don't have a dumb stage name like Min-Soup.

Min-Soo: True, your dumb stage name is your real name. * looks up at him * Would you like some ice for that burn, hyung?

Myung: * glares * Drop dead, soup boy.

Aro: "Ok so to start of this tale we first need to do a little history lesson. It was a little over a hundred years ago that my original home, known as earth, was brought to ruins by the human race. The world and all of its governments from that time were destroyed or collapsed after a strange phenomenon. This being the discovery of a new mutation in humans causing them to warp reality around them. Science became broken when faced to these powers that we now possessed. Things didn't get too bad until the number of mutations stopped appearing at only 15, one mutation per person, with only 15 children having these powers. Countries all over the world flocked to these children trying to make them into nothing more than military weapons. Some were successful, some were not and some managed to make an artificial version of these powers, created from the blood of these children, that could be injected into all ready living people causing these people to get powers of their own, though not as strong as the pure bloods.

And this is the story of how a man corrupted by greed and ambition could.... no this is my story of how two people, one corrupted by greed and ambition and the other driven by nothing else but grief and a desire for revenge, could put not only our home, our universe, in danger of being completely destroyed but also countless others as well."

This is for my story called Changing World and I plan on releasing it one day as a comic. I've started learning how to draw in order to do just that so wish me luck.

"This is Discounted Comics," said unnamed red one.

"Hey, Discounted Comics, I'm dad," replied unnamed blue one.

"Shut up."

"Ok."

That was the best material I could think of off the top of my head. Here's my comic:

Discounted Comics | Tapas

[Crusoe]

Simon's version: All I wanted was to just be left alone for the duration our school trip, but of course, just my luck: I get shoved in the same room as Joey Burgundy: aka. Mr. Steal your girl, aka. the hottest guy in school that I just happen to have a crush on, aka. st. Claire's star student. Oh, he also happens to hate me, isn't that just fantastic? But... Maybe, just maybe, he'll warm up to me. I still hope deep in my heart that we might be able to become friends again, preferably more of course, but at the very least I wish he'd stop giving me these icecold stares...

Joey's version: Well, guess fucking what?! My mates just abandoned me, forcing me to sleep in the same room -excuse me, even worse: same bed- as the guy who I wish would vanish from my life forever. Simon Fisher... I hate his guts. Actually, that may not be entirely accurate... I can't bring myself to truly hate him, but... I need to try, because every time I look at him, it hurts... Anyway, I've seen his true colours. Not even his innocent looks or chit-chatting is going to deter me from disliking him.
