Cantr II Discussion Forum

Okay, I don't know how well this will work out, but here goes.

The basic idea is this:

I've put together a very basic, very vague plotline. It's a mystery story, more or less, with 12 main sections. We'll have 12 writers, each doing one section, one after the other. Each writer will only get brief and general guidance as to how the story should develop. Everything else, all other details, are up to the author to flesh out. They'll have the previous sections to refer to, though. And we'll see what kind of story we end up with.

First step is to get our writers. Then I'll assign a section to each one, and PM the section guidelines to them. The best and most confident writer will do section 12: The Ending! The sections will be posted here as they are completed.
Sections can be any length within reason; long enough to be complete and entertaining, but not too long that it gets boring or 'takes over'. The writers must not discuss their section with anyone else until it is posted here, but they may PM me privately with any questions.
This thread will be 'open' until the writers are chosen, but please don't post after then, so that the thread remains for story sections only!.

So... who wants to be a writer?
Also, any questions?

ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME OH YES ME!!!

ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME OH YES ME!!!

I quoted that, as in I would like to be one of the writers too.

How are we going to determine who's the best and most confident writer?

Oh yeah... I am SO in. Put me down as a writer.

Well I'm probbably going to be the best.

becaus i'm going to ask help from my mommy.

Then you're probably not a very good candidate Pie.. It's very unfair for you to put someone else into a position of deciding whether it's fair for other writers if they select you. That's what you've done...

I'll give it a go

wait... what now?

well anyway I'm Just kidding so it's ok.

I'm interested, and a strong writer, but how long is this section going to be? I don't have days to devote to this, but I would like to spend a few hours.

Great, so that's 5 already!

I'm going to accept Pie as a writer, on condition that he does a good job and spells well! Surprise us all!

Racetyme: "Sections can be any length within reason; long enough to be complete and entertaining, but not too long that it gets boring or 'takes over'." A few hours should be plenty, as long as it's done well!

Leo Luncid: I will decide who does The Ending, based on nominations and feedback here.

N-Aldwitch: Huh? But also: Are you in?

Sounds entertaining... but I don't know how much time I"ll have in three days or so... Mardi Gras holidays (that's similar to spring break for those of you not local to the New Orleans area )

On a side note, I will be gone Wednesday through Monday, so if we get this started soon I should not be assigned one of the first few parts.

Okay yes I help, I good at write good thing with complex word used anonymously and correctly.

Nakranoth, if you want in, I can put you near the end, same as Racetyme.

So that's maybe 7! Are there any other possible writers we could invite? Also, don't forget to nominate a writer for The Ending. (By PM if you prefer.)

(By the way, it may look kind of boring right now, but when things get going it should be good! )

Near the end should be fine.
