    Probably make more sense continuing from where Mr Mr left off maybe? Since if you introduced Aida from the very beginning now, other writers might follow suit - and then the trend we've created would be that we write from the beginning, rather than just following, if that makes sense?

    Let's not get into the habit of telling each other what we can and cannot write.

    AveryWhite, if you think that your pre-written bit will add to the story, post it. The important thing about details in a story is that they add to the characters (or setting etc) instead of just being cool footnotes. Remember that the person after you is going to be trying to reconcile the action in the two posts, so don't make it too hard for them.

    BY VIRTUE OF BEING THE FIRST IN RECENT DAYS TO DO SO, I HEREBY DECLARE THE FOLLOWING TO BE THE OFFICIAL ORDER:

    Mr Mr
    AveryWhite
    MaggieStone
    Mckk
    Fullmetal Xeno
    Vamp_fan22
    Finhorn

    When it is thy turn write and post quickly or come to this thread and pass.
    When it is not thy turn, read other's posts to make sure you understand the story. Work through the themes in your mind and prepare to add to the plot. Thus it is written. Thus it shall be done.

    haha woow very official Finhorn haha :p :D

    as to my part adding to the story im not sure, depends on peoples veiws (if they want to learn more about the characters or just keep moving forward with the storyline), because its mainly a format to introduce my character so you can understand her more and her personality (since were going to be using others characters to write) which i had understood was the purpose of the first chapters.

    basically she arrives at the city and is on her way to Nexus, and you learn of her feelings not likeing the city and that she lived in the forest so its very different for her (in a few short lines) and she comes across a child, and here i expand on her human half self and her abilities also with earth magic, and you just learn a bit more about the character in a short scene, and then a short bit of background information about her and 'Marlo' which would add to the story too. and then she gets to the Nexus building and thats where i stop; iv also added (since shes an elf and they are rather mystical and sometimes aware of the future) that she suddenly had the feeling that soon she would be cold and wet so as to help the flow of what the previous post had said.
    so it wouldnt all together effect the flow of the story (so Maggie would'nt have a difficult time at all in carrying on) it just adds to peoples understanding of my character and the overall Nexus purpose. :)

    well ill post it now, BUT if people agree thats its not worth it and i should remove it then ill edit that post and put in a new piece in time for Maggie to write something this weekend :)

    Hey guys, just to remind everyone that THIS is the discussion thread :p

    The other thread is JUST for writing, so if you have anything to say, ask about or tell the group its posted here. ok thanks :p

    oh and also as Mckk asked for - please arrange your writing so that its easy to read :D

    PS. i have spoken to maggie and she wants us all to ONLY write about our character getting to the meeting first, as our first opening chapter. like allowing us all to get to know the different characters and there history and personality before we start any assighnments. so what Mr Mr wrote at the end of his post will be continued after we've made all of our own first appearances and met up thanks guys :)

    As far as I'm aware. Thats why I was wondering, apart from introducing his character, does he control ours and progress the story?

    i believe that he cant control where the story goes; its more a case of if he has an idea he discusses with the group, and then if agreed - go along with it.

    Hey sorry I didn't see this - I'm having trouble adjusting to everything. I'm not technology friendly.
    Yes I would like if we could skip next.
    did we decide who was next?

    Hate to double post but could we skip Fihorn? The storys not moving. I think we should wait 2 - 3 days then skip to the next person, that way the story will keep moving.

    Ive emailed - lets give him a day, he might be working but yeah. We can. By the way Mr Mr I was reading your piece again and I really liked it but was wondering if your going to add new pieces to the work can you discuss them before hand I'd like everyone to have a say in what's happening. Though I like the painting idea very WITCH like.

    I was planning for them to go through, swim up to the boat realise they were somewhere in the southern pole and start heading for the nothern pole. On they way they would be attacked by a giant sea monster, probably a kraken or something. I though mabye ship wrecking them so we can have them get to know each other. Other than that not much :p

    Oh and well done for spotting the WITCH thing. Loved that show.
