Our first business to take care of is deciding a premise or a starting point. If you have any ideas please post them in this thread. In two days, whichever idea gains the most traction will be the winning idea, and the person that came up with it will write the first entry. You can start queuing after that.
Also if you have a character, post their name and brief description in this thread
post apocalypse setting sounds cool. maybe instead of it being either desert type (yk sand or snow) it could be more spotty, like some areas are sandy and blazing hot, while others are colder. ig you'd probably have some "in between" areas, but those areas could be rare to come byigorsprite wrote: 6x186x

I like this idea. When I think "apocalypse" I was thinking more along the lines of a ruined, decaying city shrouded in mystery, but I like octowave's idea too. I also have an idea for a character if we go with the whole apocalypse thing.dPeace wrote: 2t93a

No, just post them at some point. If you post them earlier then people will have a chance to write about your character or shape the story to fit your character. You can also post it after your first entry if you want to keep them a surprise.igorsprite wrote: 6x186x
do we need to post our characters before the story starts?
Since anyone writing can use any of the characters as they like, I think lebelling them as "currently active" or "temporarily active" wouldn't make a lot of sense, as they'd always technically be active. If we wanted to give them statuses, I think it'd be better to say what they were currently doing in the plot.keremaru wrote: 3r6e2u
Also, if we decide to post characters, it would be good to make an archive of those characters and their statuses, i.e "currently active", "temporarily inactive", "removed" or "gone".
This is my personal favourite. I think it'll be interesting to explore as it's very open-ended with how we can take the story. octowave also added to this idea so check out their post.dPeace wrote: 2t93a

I like this idea too, but not as much as the apocalypse idea. I think we'll be a bit more limited in what we can do, and it might be a bit tougher to pull off than the apocalypse idea. This is because if we go the SoL route, the quality will probably rely a lot on how good we can write the characters, while with the apocalypse idea it'll be easier to get by with just an interesting plot and good worldbuilding. I still think this idea is very interesting though, and wouldn't mind doing it if you guys like it better.keremaru wrote: 3r6e2u
Personally, I'll vote for a school scenario, largely because I had a dream where I was back in school last night. It can take place in a college, where there are various classes that we can discuss later on. It doesn't have to be entirely slice-of-life like Nichijou, but it could expand from there into a greater scenario, like Toradora!.

You don't need to have a character now. I think it's hard to make one now because we don't even have a story. TBH I have no idea what character I'll do if we do the school scenario. I think I'm gonna see how the story goes for a bit, to give me inspiration. As long as you're not stuck because you don't know what to write for your entry because you don't have a character, it's fine.Corne2Plum3 wrote: 3y1z1p
Who already made a character? Maybe it would help me.

I'm a little curious. Could the fact that the story shifts perspective every time author changes, cause it to become somewhat jarring to read?
Neh lets discriminate between denzin and non-denzin. Lets make non-denzin sit on the floor and we sit on the benches. : )[ Sebastian ] wrote: 143do
If we're doing the school idea, I suggest we have the older denizens be the teachers, the newer denizens be upperclassmen, and the dwellers to be lowerclassmen.
we can figure it out as we goyoony1 wrote: 222118
If we go school, what do you guys think of making it some special sort of school like a magic school or a ninja school for example? That way, people who want to do SoL/character stuff can do that, while people that want to do worldbuilding/plot stuff will have more to work with. The lore and/or power system is probably going to be convoluted because of the lack of coordination though.
If school does win, it'll ultimately be up to keremaru to decide what we do though, because they're going first.

wait what I didn't say I was going to write or ed the school scenario, I just said that the actual genre of writing needs to be SoL in order to work in a forum context, why was I included

To everyone:
To dm your entry to me, you can send it on something like a text sharing site (eg. Pastebin) or send me a google-doc of your own, and I'll copy-paste it from there.
Also jesus christ how did you manage to fuse literally every idea we had together

This is actually a really good idea, but I don't really like that specific one as it feels a bit specific especially with stuff like "species" and "fighting style" which isn't really important nor relevant to what we're doing. I think I'll rework that template as a way for people to submit their character though, it would be a good organised way to keep track of everyone's characters.keremaru wrote: 3r6e2u
Here's a character template that I have on hand, definitely not because I've participated in similar activities like this before.
We just decided on a scenario and keremaru is the first person to write an entry. Everyone's in the dark with what's going to happen except keremaru, so we just gotta sit tight. He did give a brief plan in his previous post so you can read that.Scyla wrote: 1d6q5d

Well if there's magic and there's technology in the story then sure why notoctowave wrote: 602s2i
also, we're allowed to use magic tech stuff, right? because my current character idea kinda entirely hinges off of that

Not necessarily. You can write whatever you want, but you have to that everything that people wrote before you canonically happened/is happening/will happen.Manishh wrote: 2k5q58
Oh damn
Anyway, does our story need to be related?
You write it in the perspective of your own character, Sebastian. You can include Momo as a character in your entry if you want to though, along with any of the other characters people submitted.[ Sebastian ] wrote: 143do

Should we maybe name the chapters then, so they're more distinguished, or just keep it without names?Corne2Plum3 wrote: 3y1z1p
