So, your local fanfiction writer, Art (short for Arthur) may have accidentally ripped space-time a new one… All they were trying to do was get their work published, honest!
So what if their editor sent them notes once.. twice… five times? They’ve got an original story in them somewhere, it’s just… a little far down. Going back to their origins as an Alternate Universe writer is the surefire way to get their inspiration back! So maybe a little bit of this universe, a little bit of that character… nothing’s really worked until they set eyes on your character.
(TLDR: Put that guy in situations! Every round your character gets put in a new AU in a randomized 1v1. Can THEY be the best barista? A competent spy? Or just Some Guy? May the best interpretation win!)
