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 (http://megalion.com/ff100/index.php) 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 (http://megalion.com/ff100/index.php?a=wait) and wait for the previous person to be done.
Otherwise, stake your claim at this entry. (http://community.livejournal.com/fanfic100/1097.html) 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.
