View Full Version : Wanted: Aspiring writers to create group piece.
Alice in Wonderland 05-26-2007, 07:40 AM We need dedicated writers to help with the 'Continue the story' thread (http://writingforums.org/showthread.php?t=3068) that was started by Hulls Raven.
We have come up with the idea to take down a list of names for people that wish to take part. When we have the list each person will be assigned a number. This is like a ticket for a waiting room. You wait until it is your turn to post the next bit of the story. ^^
If you can't think of anything to write, you can swap your number with somebody else or go back to the end of the line.
Each person will have 4 days to post their piece of the story, unless they give a reason why they can't do it within this time frame, so that we aren't waiting around for weeks and weeks for the next post.
List of participants:
xXx heather xXx
Torana (?)
Crazy Ivan (?)
Ferret (Wants to write the ending.)
Targaddon
Cogito
Heather Louise 05-27-2007, 05:03 AM okiee dokiee, you can put my name down, it sounds fun :D i assume you wanted us to post here btw, lol.
Heather
Crazy Ivan 05-27-2007, 06:19 AM I would do it, but not in a story that's already gone in that direction. Eurgh.
Raven 05-27-2007, 06:20 AM What direction do you mean.
Crazy Ivan 05-27-2007, 06:30 AM I mean, approximately:
Part 1: Hurr this story is goth! hurr!
"OMG were iz yo bisnatch?"
"i will nevar tell u!"
"Exposition!"
"Exposition!"
<period of intolerable corniness>
Part 2: Hurr more goth yay hurr!
"Pretentious dialogue!"
"RANT!"
<senseless violence>
(Feel free to delete that if it's too offensive.)
Ferret 05-27-2007, 08:17 AM So, you're going to try and people accountable for this stuff?
Alice in Wonderland 05-27-2007, 08:40 AM The story reminds me of Broken Sword... xD
So, we have one person that wants to help out!
Crazy Ivan, you made me laugh. xD You could join and attempt to steer the story in a different direction? =D
Ferret, I don't understand... ._.
Torana 05-27-2007, 08:49 AM Actually Alice I agree with you there, it reminds me of Broken Sword as well.
I would love to join up with it Alice, but I am not that good at that genre hence why I haven't joined in with it already.
Alice in Wonderland 05-27-2007, 08:51 AM It's always good to extend your horizons. Give it a go, I say. ^^
Torana 05-27-2007, 08:57 AM I'll do some research before I commit myself to this.
Crazy Ivan 05-27-2007, 09:02 AM You could join and attempt to steer the story in a different direction? =D
Alright, that is a pretty good incentive...
If I have spare time and conviction enough, I'll get around to it.
Alice in Wonderland 05-27-2007, 09:14 AM Alright, that is a pretty good incentive...
If I have spare time and conviction enough, I'll get around to it.
8) I'll put your name with a (?) next to it then.
Ferret 05-27-2007, 09:39 AM Ferret, I don't understand... ._.
...Nevermind.
I'd do this, so long as I get to do the last entry.
Crazy Ivan 05-27-2007, 11:05 AM Hey now, don't be hogging the action...
...(says the person who barely wants any action for himself)
But you know what would be cool? To make EVERYONE happy, at the very end, we could each pick an object- a country, say, or a character- and write how they ended up.
Ex:
Ferret's chosen character went on to live whatever and wound up etc.
Alice's chosen place turned into a blank and eventually became a great failure/successful town/medievally-themed park for the aliens that would later take over the world.
Or something like that.
Daniel 05-27-2007, 11:28 AM We really could use some participants in this. The idea really is a great one.

Well that may or may not work bare in mind the theme is set and the first two chapters have been written by myself and Ryzer.
Ryson is the main charactor in the two chapters what we all need to remember is to not go off the rails with introducing too many main charactors and too many sub plots. Alice's idea is a brilliant one you just need to decide what parts each of you wish to write. I would also suggest maybe a minimum of 1000 words to your chapters.
Night Haunter 05-27-2007, 06:07 PM Sounds fair enough.
Targaddon 05-27-2007, 06:09 PM Agreed. I think Id like to have a go at this too. Its a good thought and shows some promise.
Heather Louise 05-28-2007, 04:32 AM I would also suggest maybe a minimum of 1000 words to your chapters.
do we have to write a chapter each like, or just part of it? just wondering, it doesn't change anything in my books,
Heather
Raven 05-28-2007, 04:33 AM Well a chapter would be better. that way you have all made your mark then on the story.
Targaddon 05-28-2007, 07:53 AM Well i agree with what Ravens said so we all need to now start saying who wishes to do the next segment. hoping its not as childish as crazy ivans spiteful act was.
Im happy to write a chapter or two.
Heather Louise 05-28-2007, 10:57 AM Well a chapter would be better. that way you have all made your mark then on the story. okiee dokiee, i am happy to write a chapter or two, that is until you find out my writing stinks but what the heck, lol. just tell me when you want me to write, i aint too bothered.
Heather
Raven 05-28-2007, 11:02 AM Im sure your writings fine Heather
Crazy Ivan 05-28-2007, 11:05 AM It is. I've read her stuff- she's great.
Don't worry, it's a story for all types, we're sure you'll do fine!
Heather Louise 05-28-2007, 11:15 AM well thank you both :) i feel like i want a crown now :P who is starting it off anyways?
Heather
Crazy Ivan 05-28-2007, 11:16 AM There are already two chapters. We're still getting organized, so feel free to add your own while no one's looking. ;)
Raven 05-28-2007, 11:53 AM Basically alice came up with the idea you all pick a chapter so basically if you wish to write the next chapter feel free. Click this word Linky (http://www.writingforums.org/showthread.php?t=3068) and you can post your chapter up. Can i just make the suggestion to all under recent events can we try to keep to theme. It seems the consensous is medievil. Mystic type of thing. But yeah feel free to add a chapter if your un-sure of your chapter whether you feel it will fit please feel free to send it in a PM my way. Or Daniels way (Lpspider)
other than that its up to you guys.
Heather Louise 05-28-2007, 12:43 PM okiee dokiee, i have wrote the next part, i hope it is okay :D:D
Heather
Cogito 05-28-2007, 04:37 PM I'm game to give it a try also, although it is not a genre I'm comfortable or confident with. But that's what a challenge is all about!
Raven 05-28-2007, 04:42 PM Great stuff. Click here (http://www.writingforums.org/showthread.php?t=3068) if you wish to see whats already being written.
Night Haunter 05-30-2007, 07:31 AM I've already added a part but would be happy to write more.
Cogito 05-30-2007, 08:00 AM Right, I just saw it. I guess I should have mentioned here that I had submitted a section as well, yesterday.
Night Haunter 05-30-2007, 08:08 AM I just thought should we be putting our chapter number at the top in bold.
Cogito 05-30-2007, 08:40 AM I don't see a need to do that - the post number suffices for determining order, and not all contributions are necessarily complete chapters.
Panther 05-31-2007, 07:36 AM Can someone maybe explain how this works it sounds interesting but im not sure how to join in. Thats if i'm allowed to join.
Panther 05-31-2007, 08:58 AM I hope no one minds I know I'm new but i wanted to join in and so i added my section.
Cogito 06-03-2007, 08:25 AM Who's next? <nudge>
Night Haunter 06-03-2007, 08:27 AM How about alice.
Do we all get to right more chapters as well?
Alice in Wonderland 06-04-2007, 05:11 AM If you have all been adding chapters at your will and it's working then let's keep it that way, hm? ^^
Panther, feel free to post.
If you have already posted, let others have a chance before you repost please. =)
Night Haunter 06-04-2007, 05:40 AM Actually Alcie are you writing anything for the story. Id be keen to see what you add.
Alice in Wonderland 06-05-2007, 10:57 AM I'm too busy at the moment. I'm going to a festival in two days and I haven't got a tent or any clothes. xD
Night Haunter 06-05-2007, 11:13 AM lol excuses hey you posted the thread so come on show us what your made of. lol
Crazy Ivan 06-05-2007, 02:51 PM lol excuses hey you posted the thread so come on show us what your made of. lol
Hey, I think she's got a pretty good excuse there. I know how annoying it is to prepare for an unexpected camping trip (grumblemumbleboyscoutsgrumble).
Alice in Wonderland 06-05-2007, 03:36 PM I don't have enough time at the moment to put thought into things and I'd want a contribution of mine to be at least decent. D=
Crazy Ivan, xD Thanks!
Ferret 06-05-2007, 03:41 PM I call complete and total dibs on the final installment.
Raven 06-06-2007, 04:56 AM Could be a while there Ferret.
Cogito 06-26-2007, 09:13 PM Is this effort dead, folks? Alice, now that you're back, I think you're next in queue... :)
