My brother and I are writing a minecraft Novel, and it's going to be based off of you scratchers. If you guys want to be in it, tell us your minecraft username, as well as your minecraft personality. Also, if you have any ideas of what you want to happen to your MC person, or anything that you want to happen in the story, let us know as well. We'll try to start it in a few minutes, so post fast. We'll try to recruit people who join later, but the longer you wait, the less likely it'll be. Also, if we get a bunch of people in it, we'll probably stop there with recruiting. there. There are a maximum of five people that can join a day.

<==============================================================================>

Chapter 1
Starwarslover25, Katrina, and elfin8er are shipwrecked on an island. The ship they sailed on, was the normal type of ship you hear about in shipwreck stories. It was the famous kind of ship heard about through out minecraft, the airship. The crew flew in on it, and then later lost control of their ship in the wind, and quickly crashed. They came down hard, landing on a pile of rocks. Starwarslover broke his ankle on one of the rocks, but Katrina, and elfin8er are ok. Katrina instantly runs over to a chest that was in the air ship, and although slightly broken, she is manages to get a healing potion. "Here you go starwarslover. Drink this, and you should feel better in a little bit."  She then takes a bit of the material from the balloon, and tightly wraps the ankle. While she does this, elfin8er takes the bottom of the air ship, and takes the wood from it. He then sets it up to make a temporary shelter for Starwarslover. As he sorts through the wood, he finds a few more things that were packed on the ship. Five torches, a chest, a wooden pick, a workbench, and two sugarcane. He then takes the rest of the material, and makes a bed, with some of the remaining wood from the ship. He then takes the torches. pick, and sugar cane, and puts it in the chest. He then calls Katrina over to help him move the chest over next to the shelter. For the first time since they crashed, the two of them get a good look around the island.

"Hmm." Says elfin8er. "There only appears to be one tree on this island. This is not a good place to crash. Do you want to go chop that down while I start on a small mine?"

"Yeah, sure." Says Katrina.

"Don't forget to get all of the saplings, so we can replant", says elfin8er.

"Will do" replies Katrina. elfin8er then takes the wooden pick, from the chest, and starts a little set of steps. Before Katrina goes out, she takes the work bench, and puts it next to the chest.

It's not long before Katrina arrives back to the camp with five logs, and three saplings. "I'll make a sword," says Katrina, "and then get us some food while it's still light out."

"Good idea" elfin8er says. "I'll continue working on the mine here." Katrina makes some sticks, and then asks elfin8er for some cobblestone to make a stone sword. elfin8er hands her two cobble, and she makes the sword, and starts killing monsters. There aren't many, because of how small the island is. Katrina comes back to the base, and puts the five beef, and three leather that she gathered in the chest.

"I'll leave a few more animals here to reproduce" She says.

"Good idea" elfin8er says. He mine a bit more, while Katrina gives Starwarslover the rest of the medicine. By this time, it's starting to get dark, so the two craw into the shelter, and sleep on the sand floor.

"This isn't very comfortable" elfin8er says. "I'll get some more dirt in the morning, and we'll at least make a dirt floor" he says.

"Good idea" says Katrina, and the two of them, quickly fall asleap, Starwarslover staying awake with pain.

<===================================================================>

Chapter 2
In the middle of the night, elfin8er hears a zombie groaning in the night, so he grabbed Katrina's sword, and went out alert. <--- Warning! Blood, and Gore! ---> elfin8er slices the zombies arm. Green thick blood, squirts out from the wound, all over elfin8er's face. Some gets into his eyes, and stings. He quickly wipes off what he can, but is still in pain from the damage. He blindly swings his sword, and soon hears a louder groan. He thinks he almost killed the zombie. He then hears silents, and then hears a thump, as the zombie falls dead. elfin8er then rubs the blood off his eyes, and looks at his sword. Laying, stuck on the tip of this sword, is the zombies eye. He slides it off the sword, with his hands, and chucks it into the ocean. <--- End of Gore! ---> After killing the zombie, elfin8er cleans himself in the ocean, and goes back into the hut, and falls asleep, in the squished space.

Finally, morning comes, and the crew wakes up. First, elfin8er wakes up, and then wakes up Katrina. "Katrina, wake up!" he says. Katrina moans, and doesn't seem to want to get up. "Should I wake up starwarslover, or let him sleep"

"It'd probably be best if we let him sleep until he really wants to wake up." She says.

"That's what I thought," elfin8er says. "I'll make a furnace, so we can have some breakfast"

"Alright. Do you want me to get working on a better house?" Katrina asks.

"That would be great" elfin8er replies. elfin8er makes a furnace, while Katrina works on a house. elfin8er takes eight cobblestone, and puts the remaining cobblestone in the chest. Katrina then takes it, and gets to work on the house.

"You may want to do some more mining after breakfast" she says. "There isn't a lot of cobble to work with."

"Alright. We'll go mining after breakfast, and starwarslover can come to if he's feeling up to it," I say.

"He should. I mean, the potion I have him was suppose to heal him pretty quickly." elfin8er takes the furnace he made, and puts it on a wall in the house.

"Is this a good place?" elfin8er asks.

"Yeah," says Katrina. "I'm not really organizing this. Just building four walls." She said. elfin8er places the furnace and then remembers that he does have any coal.

"We may have to combine breakfast and lunch. Call it brunch," he says.

"Why's that?" Katrina asks.

"I wasn't able to get any coal as I was mining." elfin8er said. "I'll go down into the mines, and hopefully I'll find some in the next hour, so it's not too late."

"Alright. Bring some more cobble up every so often" Katrina says.

"Alright" elfin8er says as he goes into the mines. It's not long before his wooden pick breaks. He then goes back up to make another one. "Can I have two of your sticks?" he asks Katrina.

"Sure. They're my last two. Whatcha need them for?"

"Oh, I just need to make a stone pick." elfin8er replies.

"Oh, ok. Could you put this remaining wood in the chest while you're at it?" She asks.

"Yeah, sure." elfin8er says. Katrina hands elfin8er the four log she has left, and elfin8er puts it into the chest. elfin8er then continues down into the cave he made. In a matter of minutes, he comes across a pocket of coal. It should be just enough to make breakfast, he thinks to himself. He then takes it back up to the house, and shows it to Katrina.

"The house is looking good!" says elfin8er.

"Thanks!" Says Katrina. "Did you get some coal?" She asked elfin8er.

"Yep. Four good chunks," he said.

"Nice! Keep up the good work," Katrina says. elfin8er puts the coal into the furnace, and puts three beef on it.

"These should be done in the next-" elfin8er doesn't have time to complete his sentence, because he jumps back, alarmed by the sound of footsteps outside. elfin8er slowly approaches the door. Katrina, looking confused, walks out the door, not seeming to be bothered by the noise.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I forget to tell you that Starwarslover is awake? He went out to plant our saplings."

"Oh!" said elfin8er. "That makes sense." He goes outside, and greets Starwarslover. "Hey man. How are you feeling?" elfin8er asks.

"Oh, I feel so much better. I still have a bit of a limp, but I can manage." Starwars says.

"Alright, good," says elfin8er. "Do you think that you would be able to start making a garden, to get us a bit more food?" elfin8er asks Starwarslover.

"I should be able to do that," he says.

"I'll go back into the mines. Just yell if you need anything," he says. Starwarslover then goes over to a small field of grass. It appears to be the only spot on the island with dirt, so he get's as many seeds as he can from it, and then gathers the dirt. He manages to find some more dirt, under the patch of dirt. He gathers enough to make a total of 16 dirt. He then goes over to the end of the beach, and places it in rows, branching off from the sand. He then heads back to the base, to craft a hoe. He takes the hoe, and carries it back to his garden, and hoes the rows he made. He then takes the seeds he gathered earlier, and plants them. After this, he heads back home.

When he gets there, elfin8er is standing at the door way of the house. Katrina is putting the finishing touches on the house, and elfin8er is crafting away at the crafting table. When he's done, he walks over to the door way, and puts a finished wooden door there. He then takes a bucket that he crafted, and goes outside with it. Starwars follows him.

"Where'd you get the bucket?" Starwarslover asked.

"I was able to make it from a little bit of iron in the cave. I figured I could try and get some milk from a cow for us to have with our breakfast." The two of them work for a little while, trying to trap a cow. Finally after a while, they get one. Starwars holds the cow still, being careful of his broken ankle. elfin8er manages to get a full bucket of milk from the cow. elfin8er then carries it back to the house, being very careful not to spill any. Starwarslover comes following behind, still limping. When they get back to the house, they find a wonderful surprise. They find that Katrina has been hard at work on the house. She made a path of flowers leading up to the door. elfin8er opens the door, and places the bucket of milk on a table that Katrina made. "This looks very nice," elfin8er said.

"Thank you," Katrina says. "Have a seat!" elfin8er and Starwarslover have a seat on the bench across the table. Katrina then takes the beef out of the oven, and sets it on the table.  She takes a seat on the bench, and the three of them dig in. They each get a piece of beef, and several sips of the milk. "We better finish the milk now," Katrina says. "We wouldn't want it to spoil." Soon, the three of them finish off the food, and very soon after, they finish the milk.

"What now?" elfin8er asks.

"We could go into the mines, if Starwarslover is feeling up to it."

"Fine with me," Starwars says.

"Alright, we'll go then," elfin8er says. Let me just get the torches from the chest. It's getting dark down there. I'll also get the wood, to make some more torches while we're down there. How much cobblestone do you guys have left?"

"Not much. Just twelve," Katrina says.

"Alright. We'll make three picks. Mine is low, so I'll make a new one for my self. I'll also make another sword. How's that one doing Katrina?" elfin8er asks.

"Pretty good. Check out what I did with it. I used my magic to enchant it." She pulls out the now purple sword, and shows it off to elfin8er.

"Nice! Would you be able to do that to the sword I'm making?"

"I can try, although it takes a lot of energy. I'll be really tired in the morning if this keeps up. I can enchant the sword, but I don't know about the picks." She says.

"Alright. I'll get crafting," elfin8er says. He crafts the tools, and then carries them to Katrina. Katrina enchants the sword, and then gives it to elfin8er.

"You can keep this one. I already have mine," she says.

"Alright, thanks. Here's a pick for you," he says handing it to her. He also hands one to Starwarslover. "Let's go," elfin8er says, and the three of them head down into the mine. After mining for several minutes, they find a nice pocket of iron, as well as two pockets of coal.

"I'm hungry," Katrina said. "Let's go back up to get a bite to eat. Maybe you can do some exploring while we're up there."

"Ok, good idea," Starwarslover said. The three heroes went up to get their dinner. When they got up, Katrina put a piece of the coal in the oven, as well as the remaining piece of beef.

"This will have to do for now. We can share it, and then get some more when we go hunting in the morning." Katrina said. elfin8er then went over to the work bench, and crafted a leather helmet.

"Would you mind enchanting this for me Katrina?"

"Uhg! I just got done enchanting the other few things." She said.

"Sorry, it was just a question," elfin8er said back.

"Well, I can try." elfin8er handed the helmet to Katrina, and she tried as hard as she could, but nothing happened. "I just don't have enough power," she said. "It would be a lot easier, if someone could make me an enchantment table." The heroes grab the beef, and head outside to go exploring, but are stopped short by the lack of daylight.

"Well, we'll have to delay our exploring until tomorrow" Starwarslover said.

"Well, I guess we'll have to eat this good beef now then," elfin8er says, taking a seat at the table. Starwarslover and Katrina have a seat as well, and each take several bites from the beef. After, elfin8er said "Remember how I said I was going to make a dirt floor?"

"Uh, no,' Starwarslover said.

"Oh. Sorry. I told Katrina about it. You were asleep at the time. I was telling Katrina that today I would make dirt floors, so we wouldn't wake up filled with sand." elfin8er grabs the dirt, and starts replacing the sand on the ground with it. Katrina moves the work work bench, and furnace onto two pieces of land that elfin8er already put dirt on, and then continues on with what he was doing. elfin8er just about gets done, when he notices that he still has to put dirt under the chest.

"Katrina, could you please come over here and help me move the chest over, so I can put some more dirt under it?"

"Sure," says Katrina. The two of them move the chest over two blocks, and elfin8er puts the two blocks down. After this,
the two of them put the chest down. Katrina then gets the bed set up. "Alright with you if Starwarslover sleeps in the bed again tonight? Starwarslover is going to need another night, and then the two of us can rotate on and off the bed."

"Alright. Works for me," elfin8er says. Starwarslover lays on the bed, and tries to rest, while Katrina and elfin8er try to enchant some more items. Katrina is able to enchant the helmet, but that is all she is able to do without falling into a deep sleep. elfin8er puts the helmet safely into the chest, and then Katrina and elfin8er fall asleep on the dirt floor.

Re: Minecraft Novel

Include me, please. It's pretty cool, but I'm not a fan of how the story is currently just saying what would happen in real Minecraft. The ones I've wrote have always included a good plot, someone or something to find/defeat.

If you want to see some old minecraft fanfics from misc., here's a link:

Re: Minecraft Novel

Does anyone know of somewhere I can put this story, in a way that would be easier to read? Some kind of ebook website or something? I was thinking of lulu.com, but I wanted to know if somewhere else would be easier. Any suggestions?
