Uhhhhhh Livejournal

So, about 10 years late to the party, I've created a Livejournal account. BUT don't worry, I have a reason! There's this thing called LJ Idol where we get weekly (I think?) prompts to write about and then one (I think?) participant is eliminated each prompt. I didn't really read the FAQ well. If you wanna check out the rules yourself, here's the link: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/648151.html

Anyway, the first practice prompt was posted, so here's the prompt:

"This week your task is to Introduce someone else!

That's right. Pick someone else who is signed up for this season, and write an entry introducing them!

Can it be fiction? Yes. Can it be non-fiction? Sure. Can it be interpretive dance? If you can find a way to fit it into an LJ entry, sure!"

...and here's what I wrote! I kind of was really late on posting and almost missed the deadline, so you will be able to tell there has been no editing: http://ugawa.livejournal.com/1376.html

Also, here's the text:


Introducing...Majesticarky

Born and bred in a briar patch, majesticarky used to sneak into Mr. McGregor’s farm to steal food for her family. As a young child, she displayed various feats of unfathomable strength, which ended when she rescued her friend, Meg, from the underworld and claimed her rightful place on Earth as a mere mortal like the rest of us.

When she was young, she also was able to sneak into the army in order to replace her aging father, ultimately defeating Shan Yu in a spectacle witnessed by the emperor. By the time this had all finished, she was able to begin her journey down Route 1 to Viridian City.

On her journey, she met a scarecrow in need of a brain, a tinman in need of a heart, and a lion in need of some courage, however that takes its form. Fortunately for the group, she was able to get all of her friends their respective desires, but became lost in the water temple during the celebration. In order to get out, she had to escape on the underbellies of sheep while the blinded Cyclops felt around to try and eat her.

It was at this point in her life that she decided to go to college. She attended Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she met Bella and Edward, who introduced her to the deadly game of Jumanji. College was a blast for majesticarky, including the one night she and some of her sorority friends found the hidden world of Narnia within their wardrobe and crossed the Bridge to Terabithia.

When she graduated, she spent the first year of her adult life accompanying Benjamin Gates around the world, stealing the Declaration of Independence, and looking for an orange clownfish with one small flipper. She finally decided to settle down in the quaint town of Sleepy Hollow, but was forced to move to California due to “night terrors,” heavily induced by her location.

In California, majesticarky followed her heart and released a large social network to the world with the help of Justin Timberlake and Brenda Song. You may know it as The Facebook (now known as Facebook due to Justin Timberlake’s contribution). Eventually, she became bored with the Facebook life and decided to get back in touch with her grandmother, who had just sent word she was to be crowned Princess of Genovia.

Over the past few years, she has wandered from place to place as a Rurouni, or wanderer, helping anybody who needs it with her reverse-blade sword, all the while planting apple seeds in order to grow large apple orchards all around the world. She has currently settled (for the time being) at the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, and is excited for LJ Idol.
