Ok this has been tried in the past and it got as far as like 6 to 5 chapters I think, which is why I want to try this again but will less people this time. I am looking for one or two more people at most to be involved, the less people the quicker it will go by I believe. What this will require is for you to type one chapter in one week every two to three weeks because it will be like this week 1 - person 1 week 2- person 2 week 3- person 3 week 4-person 1 or week 1-person 1 week 2- person 2 week 3-person 1 if only two people are in the colab. The chapter should be no shorter than five pages and no longer than ten pages so 5-10 page limit I would say otherwise it gets too short or too long. Also the person typing that weeks chapter is in full control of the chapter and can do whatever he/she wants provided it makes sense with the story and character personalities. I'm going to be doing by seasons and therefore the first will have 12 chapters. So who here would be interested? Also any questions? Edited by -Zero-, Aug 9 2010, 08:44 PM.

-bumping this, yo- I'd love to try this, personally. I really love reading other people's work (and correcting, if I deem necessary). And I agree with you in saying that less people means more productivity. If no one is lazy, then you can get chapters done within the week. I'd like to know what we're writing about, personally. I like to know my facts before I begin writing. I also can't start anything to start my life, so, I wouldn't want to be person one. :> Also, I'm leaving for vacation next week, so...there's that. |

Definately up for giving this a go again. However can I suggest a wordcount requirement over a page requirement. Because 5 pages is a bit ambiguous (people use different fonts, word processors and word sizes), whereas a wordcount gives you a definate length. |

As about what we are writing, we can decide that, but unlike last time that we tried medieval type of thing, I'd like to do modern earth. Characters we'll create characters together rather than personally creating one, this way if a character gets killed of no one takes it personally. Mitas good idea, I'll take a look at what the number count would be best, and then I'll post it here. Seems like if Bouncefox really wants to do this we have the three people that I wanted, me, Mitas, and Bouncefox. Just let me know for sure if both of you are in and we can move on to the next step |

Yeah I'm definately up for a story set in modern times. I guess we could discuss it over MSN, although I'll need Bouncefox's MSN (if she has it). (p.s. I hope you're a girl, otherwise I've embarassed myself :P). As a rough figure, I think it's usually around 650 words a page for me, so at a guess maybe a 2500 word minimum per chapter? And a 5000 limit? I don't think chapters should be massively long as that can put people off. Or at least I can get put off by really long posts. |

What about a minimum of three thousand words and a maximum of seven thousand words? |

7000 sounds like a lot. That would be over 10 pages. How about 2500 - 6000? As a compromise. |

I have 7000 being a little less than 10 pages, which seems reasonable, but alright I'll go to 6500 hundred instead and since 2,500 is less than four pages on what I have, I will go with 2,700 words, and that's my final word. I'm not willing to go lower than 2,700 nor lower than 6,500 because there are times when a chapter can be longer than others because there could be many things happening |

Man I'd love to get involved with this. I've been told some of my writing is very creative/imaginative. However I'm not sure how dedicated I can be. I tend to only write when I'm in a certain mood. Is the roter flexible in case I just can't be bothered? I mean would somebody else be able to fill in if I was having a lazy week? It's no good forcing myself because then the quality would be sucky and you would be able to tell it was forced and rushed. |

Yeah, I'm ready for this. But I don't have MSN, sadly. I should really get it. And yes, I'm a girl. (As stated on my Wiki page. ;D ) Like I said, I'm leaving for vacation on August 14th, so, yeah...Can I be like, the third person or something? |

Yes that would be fine, but we need some way to communicate so we can all get on the same page, maybe a xat chatroom or something |

Yeah we need some way to talk. We could do it over PM or in a topic, but it would be a lot easier in real-time. Anyone got suggestions? |

I could go and make a Xat chatroom, considering I have an account on that website. (I use it for The Adepts of Weyard). And then I could just send a link to you two / anyone else who wants to join.

Sounds good. Do we have to arrange a time or anything for when we get together in the chat room? |
