Backstories in Six Words or Less

Nov 29, 2015

    1. This game is basically as simple as the title makes it sound; we can all ramble on for pages on our backstories, but can you sum your doll's story up in no more than six words? You can do a single doll, a pair or group of related dolls, or even try to sum up your entire collection if you want; it all fits the challenge!

      To start things off and give an example, here's one for a couple of my own:
      Edward and Alphonse: Oops, we made a huge mistake!
