    I’ll start then. I go on holiday for a week in 10 days so it works well for me. You lot can sort out last place ... if no one feels comfortable closing out the story, hard luck! Deal with it ;) seriously, we can shuffle if need be, but if we stick to the order then we can all schedule more easily.

    I’ll make a start later/tomorrow. I’ll try and get it done in a week or less if I can

    I've just given myself Thursday and Friday off, so if you've not started already by then I'm happy to kick things off since I have some ideas already.

    Think I'll take second and let @Some Guy wrap everything up, as long as he's still okay to do so!!

    Okay, official ordering is:

    1- Maverick_nc
    2- The Piper
    3- Someguy
    4- badgerjelly

    Remember, NO hints to anyone about where you are taking the story other than through the story in and of itself (no PM’s other than to inform each other that it is their turn).

    Also, no editing allowed once posted other than basic SPAG - for obvious reasons (doesn’t hurt to state the obvious though from time to time :))

    Let’s do this! If it’s a mess and makes no sense bu the time we’ve finished at least we tried. It will then be interesting to see if we can patch it up once done if need be.

    Anyway, have fun and go crazy :)

    Note: Whatever I write will likely be a spanner in the works ... that said I’m going to be the one that has to deal with it as I’m last in order so I’ll reap what I sow eventually.

    Sounds great, really interested to see where it goes.

    Just double checking though.. aren't 1 and 3 the other way round? Just going off what I've read on here, don't know if there's PMs floating about

    With four of us this should take between 2-3 months I reckon. Maybe I am overestimating, but just want to make clear I don’t want this to be dragged out. I can write my parts in a week, or even a couple of days maybe, but appreciate that you lot may not have as much time to give as I do.

    If we can aim for 2 months would be nice. I guess it depends how things develop.

    Hi chaps, Just posting to say I have made a start on this. I've been far busier than I ever like to be but things are slowing down a little now so should be able to crack on further very shortly.

    Progress Journal or updates? This thread could be dark for weeks...

    Good idea or we could lose momentum pretty quickly.

    I’LL BE ON EVERYONE’S CASE! Don’t worry ;)

    Maverick ... ONE week left :)

    If you’ve only written half of what you wanted by then either post it OR inform us you’ll be an extra day or two (literally!)

    The beauty is if someone drops out another can come in and take their place if need be (or we can skip them). Badger waits for no man :twisted:

    Just so everyone knows if it’s not done by then I’ll post the start of the story Wednesday latest.

    I would’ve picked up on this a few days ago, but I’ve been away on trip. Back home later and won’t be expecting/accepting excuses :)

    I’m going to start writing now. Writing two things at the same time so it may only be around a 1000 words ... guess I’ll just see what comes out :)

    @badgerjelly just so you know, I'm gonna be away as of tomorrow until the 6th of August - I'll have a free couple of days when I get back so I imagine you'll be able to expect my part by the 9th/10th, but just letting you know I won't be able to start till the 6th however fast you get your part done so no rush!! Hope all that's okay!
