About

Flylit is a website targeted at teen girls that lets the user star in a story and cast her friends, enemies and crushes into the supporting roles. The user can either sign up through Facebook connect or simply log in. After selecting a property from our Flybrary, the user will cast it. The ending result is a funny, surprising and engaging story that’s about the user and filled with people the user knows. In addition to the roles cast by the user, cameos by celebrities and random Facebook grabs will populate the story. After casting her book, the user will then be able to download the story to the device of her choice (iPad, iPhone, desktop, kindle, etc.) This offers several challenges for our authors. Three to five characters per short story will be SHILLS. You will give the character a name, but during the casting process, that character will become a person cast by the user. This means that you cannot use physical description, except in the most general sense (“gorgeous eyes,” “strong arms” etc.) for all shill characters. There are also non-shill characters in our narratives. We call them “fictional characters” and we use them to play really outrageous villains, or love interests, or anyone who gets seriously hurt or dies and also for any small character that doesn’t warrant a casting question.
