Yes, horses are splendid, but one of my characters is scared to freaking death of them. With good reason...

((but it's not funny! It's terrible! you should read what I've got for when that happens to him!))

Does he get his hair eaten by a horse. A horse tried to do that to me once! Luckily he didn't! :D

((I'm sorry. I'm not laughing at the event, just at the horses. Where is it, so I can read it? And pineapples! Harharhar. I love you, Skitts.))

angry parents
loss of loved ones (cliche, I know)
deep water
commitment (*cough*boys*cough*. Don't worry, I'm kidding)

No, it kind of fell on top of him....
If a horse tried to eat his hair, he'd just hate horses. He wouldn't be afraid of them.
He is, by the way, one of my round characters.

oooh... that would be scary.... I think you should make something like a hippo fall on him so you don't give horses a bad rep! :D jk. lol

I would totally do that, except I've already written the part where it falls on top of him. Also, I'm not sure how I could make the hippo thing work.

He could be at a zoo and be a very naughty kid who jumped in the hippo cage and then it fell on him! haha! or a lemer could attack him... that would be very traumatizing too.... lol

Pssh. Your hilarious. Thing is, he's fourteen when the whole 'horse incident' happens, and he's not that obnoxiously stupid.

oh. Darn. well.... well.... Aw, I got nothin

That's okay. *wink*

haha.... Well, I guess htere goes the reputation of horses *waves sadly as the reputation floats away* lol

Horse butts.

Well, that won't necessarily give them a bad reputation. If the horse were say, possessed or something, then it might.

Well don't make it possesed then! lol

I won't. That would be... ridiculous for the rest of the story.

hehe.... but kinda funny if it weren't for the whole reputation thing.... lol

Yes, but I have great respect for animals and would never do something like that, even in a work of fiction.

I love animals!!! hehe. But I still think it would be rather comical! Or if the horse was a ghost... haha... okay, I'll stop now *claps hand over mouth*

lol, wow

Oh, crikey. LOL.

Okay, I can't stand it any longer!!!! Being quiet is just TOO hard! Phew, I feel so much better now! :D

HAHA!!

LOL! You're great.

Why thank you.... *takes dramatic bow*

De nada.

fear of public speaking.

performing
being left alone

getting beaten up

eating vegetables

meeting new people

I know, right! They're just terrifying!

you should have like, a summary section. so people could post summaries of the story their characters are from, make it easier to understand the character you know?

hmmm... thats a good idea

I'm still voting for an 'adopt a hobby' section or 'likes' and 'dislikes'.
The summary idea is also quite splendid.

hmmm... both of those would be great too.
