Well, I haven't started yet, but I'm going to begin writing a story about me, yet not about me. The gist of it is, the characters assume the roles of people that I know and the "hero" is me. That's as much as I have right now.

Sounds interesting. Is this expressly you writing, or can others join?

It's just me. It involves what's been going on in my life the past 2 or 3 months, just in an indirect fashion. I will type it in Word and post an attachment for it or post it chapter by chapter.

Hero or antihero? Normally the hero character is naive and a little stupid, while an antihero is jaded or ruthless. Which one fits you best?
You're going to make the other characters people that you know, but how are you going to identify them as people. Real life men and women tend to be rather similar, while characters in a work of fiction are very strongly aligned and defined as people. Are you going to caricaturise real people, or are you going to identify them by their actions? There are problems either way. It sounds interesting though, good luck with it.

Welcome to the Mag, Regal. :)

Now, about those characters, it really depends. If you look at most comic heroes, they usually have their heads screwed on right for the most part, minus a few foibles.

Otherwise, nice ideas.
