What are you talking about trap-chan?
The story will be up a little late.
At the latest, Thursday night.
Also, new recipient.
Gotcha.
Done. I just need Kmo to get my part somehow.
Damn that was fast.
kmohyudin, PM your E-Mail to Cuddles, or Cuddles, upload it to MegaUpload or something. :\
Pre-emptively updated the original post. If kmo gets done early, let me know, and I'll swap Sakon and RPG around.
Well, if he gets done today or tomorrow then I'll have all day to write. Probably won't do anything over Christmas, or at least very little.
3. Dec. 30th, 2010 kmohyudin HURRY UP YOU DAMN BEAR
… B-but... I don't have it yet :cwy:
Oh that was pre-emtive?? Nice!

No way is it getting done today, tomorrow isn't looking good either, but I can only say for sure after I get the script… HURRY UP CUDDLES!!
Sorry I'm late.
I really had to sleep.
It's been sent in Open Office format.
Hmm, let's hope others can open the file. I know OO can open Word files, but I don't know if the reverse is true.
And LOL, Cuddles, you aren't late. You're like two days early.
I got the files… I will have to download OO now :(
Cuddles, can't you send it in txt? (or pdf perhaps?)
Sorry Kmo.
Do you want me to send another version now that you've gotten it?
No problem dude, I already download and installed OO. I am working on the story now and I may finish it a lot sooner then I had thought.
I will be forwarding it in txt format though.
Okay done. Who do I forward it to?
I think to me but how about we take a break for Christmas?
Edit: You can still send it to me incase I get time.
Go ahead and send it. You still have until the 4th, Sakon. Take your time.
Emailed… please confirm when you receive Sakon
I got it. Probably go and read it right now.
Sorry to double post but it's more noticeable. I'm passing it on to the next person and skipping my turn. Sorry, but I the subject of the story doesn't suit me. Who's next?
Are you dropping from the project? Aw :(
Okay hold on to it for a bit, we're going to use our lifeline.
STAND-INS, this is your opportunity to enter the project! First one of you to PM either me or Sakon will take his place.
…And that was fast. Prject should be moving along to Herodadotus now.

Sorry… :sad:
But I have to say, this IS moving pretty fast.
Emailed my scab.
Sorry… :sad:

Yeah, I wonder if that's a good thing or not. :wassat:
Say, I have a couple of ideas, in case we do this again:
How long should a writer wait between each 'relay'?
Also, do you suppose that the story should be decided by someone who's not an author, or perhaps three fellow authors but they have to take the last slots as a result?
Just putting these suggestions out there.
@Kitsune:
Yeah, I wonder if that's a good thing or not. :wassat:
I did rush mine a little because I didn't know my due date moved up, but my part should be mostly fine…despite having been done at 3 or 4 in the morning.
Sorry… :sad:
But I have to say, this IS moving pretty fast.
I suggest that when Herod is done, we wait it out till Jan 4th. We've pushed RPG back many times already, and he should be back by Jan 4th. If he isn't, then we'll hand it over to me.
It'll definitely be something to think about for the next one. I was wanting to go the "only see the chapter before yours" route next time for added hilarity.
Not sure what you mean by the first question though.
@trapped: Yeah, that's the idea. This was as far back as I was pushing him anyway :D
What I was bringing up is whether it's fair or not to have an author come in for multiple chain stories in a row, thereby possibly not giving someone a chance.
And doing 'only chapter before you is known' is good for hilarity, but should someone (like me and Insider did) wanted to take the first spot to decide the first part of the story, then perhaps it would be better if a third party decided which would be a better start.
I have no real regrets sharing my idea with Insider, but I felt like I kind of cheated when I found out what his was.

You bring up good points. Remember though, we can always have more chapters next time around for newer authors to join the fray. The current thirteen-chapter story was largely because I didn't think we'd be moving this swiftly. We can always simply make more chapters for the next one to circumvent that issue :)
But yeah, I like the idea of the third-party deal you mentioned. I can try to incorporate it in the next.
Alright, time to get working. And I'll wait until Jan 4th before sending it out, in case I finish early, but RPG isn't back until the 4th.
Okay I'm here.
Now time to catch up and start writing.
And by that, I mean await the PM with everything I need to start writing.
Heh, you're back sooner than I though RPGJay. I kinda bumped you down a bit to keep things rolling. PM your E-mail to Herodadotus when you have the chance.
Can do boss .
Yeah, I wonder if that's a good thing or not. :wassat:
Like Sakon the theme didn't suit me very well either. So, I kinda didn't go with it and explored other stuff. As a result, my chapter was a lot shorter (1000 or so words). But, I did do the best I could, so don't worry.
To be honest, I never thought of that problem.
Perhaps for any future expeditions, we should go for a genre that should satisfy all writers involved.
If Sako and Kmo want to participate in the next one, perhaps their desires should have more weight. This is supposed to be an enjoyable community project after all.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it nonetheless. Its just that the topic was something I am not good at.
You make me more and more curious.

I should thank you, though. You've given me multiple avenues in which I can expand on the story.

You are welcome!! Yeah, the way it was progressing was pretty linear, and being the 3rd author kinda gave me the ideal position to explore more dimensions and stuff…
I'm going to put this in spoiler tags for people who don't want to read it. I'm not saying that the story was bad because I didn't read it. The thing that put me off was it pretty much being
! fanfiction which has no interest for me at all. I would prefer an original story with original characters.
Here's something we did at an old writing site I was a member of:
Every time a new project was started, a new writer would be in charge of doing the prologue. Once they had the prologue written out, they would send it to interested members who could then decide if they wanted to work on it or not. Then, once we all knew who wanted in, we'd decide on the number of chapters and randomly draw slots. Once you got it, you could then change with someone else given both parties are willing. There would always be a smaller number of slots than participants, that way we had back ups if necessary.
Everything always ran smoothly.
Just putting that out there as a possible solution.
Whatever works. I really don't mind how we do things as long as we get them done.

… Why did you quote me? I said, I LIKED the theme, I am just not very good at writing stuff like that myself...

Yeah, but I made you go through the trouble of posting something as complicated as this.
Don't fret. I blame myself for everything. I'll get over it.

I had a hand in it too, encouraging the idea because 'I thought it'd be funny.'
