Soo, I think I'm definitely going to make the diary I just talked about earlier. But I need your advice. There are four characters, and I already have their personality planned out. Does this sound too clichéd?

Acros Staccato - A poet, named after acrostic poetry. Shy and quiet, subtle. Many of his actuons have a bigger meaning behind them. Loves symbolism and tends to overthink things.

Althea ??? - Nobody knows her last name. Like, literally. Chemistry kind of girl... really likes coffee and mathematics. Can fight but prefers long range combat.

Sawyer Jupiter - Traditionalist, set to inherit a farm. Very creative, loves wood carving and such. More cheerful than anyone else in the group.

Amirah Bohong - Yeah. Popular, charming, and beautiful. Really seems to come along for her own reasons, and can talk or charm her way out of every situation.

(As for Amirah? Yeah, there's a reason why I spent two lines dwelling on the fact that she's charming rather than, say, mentioning anything else.)
I'm socially awkward and sometimes terse - don't mind me.

An unsuspecting twist here...

I made a CS pet diary editable instead. I just felt that it would be better if you could draw your own character(s) instead of just seeing one arm in a crowded picture. I'm sorry if some of you don't have Oekaki, I'm sure a friend will help you. ;)

Linky link to editable (it's gift lines, so you have to ask for me to add you).

Ahh... That's sad. I don't have Okekaki. The only pic I did was at SWC's house and her Okeki is now glitching up.

Is it part of a series? No..
If yes, what are the sequels (and the links to those too, please)? I said no, there's none.
Short Pitch:Wonderful. Things are getting worse, and better at the same time. Would you like to enter the mouth of the Mythical Beast and see what's happening?(something to persuade people to read your story in 180 characters (CHARACTERS, not words, this includes letters, punctuation, and spaces) or less)
Illustration (optional. Could be a banner, a picture of your main character, anything):I don't have an illustration...so just leave it blank or throw in a picture of Sanya, I don't care.

Short Pitch: Most people dream of having magical powers. Not Liza. She'd give anything to not have to deal with them! And when she turns into a ghost when she was supposed to find her wings, and discovers that her sister has a crush on her best friend... well, the word 'witch' takes on a whole new meaning.

How do you people make your summaries so modest ;-; Mine is so pretentious. I tried editing it - heck, even rewriting it - but it's either awkward or exaggerating. Even now the prose is ridiculous... There'll be a moral of truth in the end, sure, but

One moonless night, given vision solely by the flickering flames of several candles, a dog picks up her journal and begins to write. Her story is one of greed on her part and that of others. It is of sadness and misery. It is one of hatred, regret, and bias. Despite all this, it is also one of truth. And at that moment, she feels that is all that matters.

Other version:

I'm Althea. Cryptographer extraordinaire, and part butterfly wolf. This is Acrost, deep-thinking poet. And this is Sawyer, wood carver. That's Amirah. Suffice to say she's a jerk. But she's our jeek, no matter how much she manipulates us into nearly dying or is willing to risk our lives for a little of her own benefit.

Yet another version:

Tonight, the starlight seems to fall through the windows of their attics. Four people - dogs, butterfly wolves, and cats - find their old journals, and get lost in their childhoods. Join them as they discover more than they thought they knew about Alinia's history, and themselves.

You may have noticed I love mentioning celestial bodies... Either way, (and I swear I'm not trying to fish for compliments here) they're all terrible. Especially that last one. It literally doesn't say anything at all about the story except "it takes place a long time ago." There isn't even any narrative about their reactions in it at all...

^ Simple, really, though I'm not entirely sure what it is you don't know how to do. As for the name, just get yourself a random noun generator (ignore words like loquaciousness) or think of something relevant to the characters/story. ^^

(Or, you know, close your eyes, deprive yourself of sleep for about a week, and then choose whatever sounds like a good idea to your probably untrustworthy mind. I did kinda do that for mine...)

I like feather, if it's not taken!

@Piefan
The first summary was the one I like the most honestly. It gave me a sense of wonder in the first sentence, which lead me to read more of it. I'd say you'd get more viewers with a more leading summary!
