Awww... *patpat* It's okay--fanfic100 is a little weird if one is trying to find one's way around. But let's see here...
First of all, make sure you read the rules--there's a certain thing you have to do when you post your claim to prove that you've read them ^.~ Then go check out the Big Damn Table here--that's the whole claims list.
If the character, pairing, group, etc. you want is taken, you can put your name on the Wait List and wait for the previous person to be done.
Otherwise, stake your claim at this entry. The instructions are all there--again, make sure you check the claimed list and read the rules before you apply. They're kinda stingy about that ^.~ Once you get approval, go to town!
I hope that answered your questions--if you have any other questions, ask away, and I'll help however I can ♥
You can actually pick any character/couple you want! Since I've got General Series and no one else has made a claim, they're all up for grabs. Straight from the fanfic100 rules:
If I pick general, can I use characters the have been picked by other people? ♥ Yes. If you pick general series, you can use every character that passed through the series. If you picked a pairing, you must use both of those characters, but you may include any other characters with them. Same applies if you picked one character. For example (thanks [info]becky_h), if you have X-Men general series, you can write about any pairings of any X-Men, Scott/Jean, Erik/Xavier, Emma/Angel, etc, no matter if someone has picked Scott or Emma or Xavier. If you have Scott, you can write about Scott with any other X-Man, Scott/Jean, Scott/Warren, Scott/Bobby, etc, no matter if someone has picked Jean or Warren or Bobby. If you picked Scott/Warren, you have to include both Scott and Warren in your fics, no matter if someone else picked Scott or Warren. I hope that clears it up.
