Hmmmm.
The last few stories have been... well, utter disasters. This is usually to do with something I've done. :0D
Sorry.
I really hope the next one we do will be a bit more popular... but it's pointless starting it unless we at least find out why people aren't writing.
Is it building up too quickly, too much to read? That could be sorted to limiting the posting... I suppose...
Not enough time?
Or, as I suspect, crap plots? :0D
Yeah, sorry once again about that. Getting up my own arss trying to keep the story as one long story... and forgetting that's it much more fun just to write a story. Limitations, you see. That's why it was so much fun the first stories, and crap now. My fault again, sorry. :0)
*cough*... err... not really getting anywhere with this.
Who wants to start the next story? I sure as hell don't. :0)

Put your names in these catagories. Right - I have this dilema, in that I REALLY want to help you write these stories, but Stryke said I should wait to be asked and Grix said that there are other people who want to write. But, if they want to write, wouldn't they be asking? And if this mass-writers plan goes through, shouldn't everyone who wants to write be able to write and then we can have someone to edit it for mistakes, so that it all looks the same etc.

I think we'll need to decide what the stories are about first.
I pick B.

See look, already you're aiming too high. Stuff like that is way too confusing.
I consider myself a reasonable writer, and I would like to write in a story, but the plots are way, way too confusing for my simple mind. We've got time travel, clones, about 10 subplots going on at once...and after 20 or so posts, I have no idea about what is going on.
Just keep it simple, and I think you'll find it all much more fun.
Then again, what do I know?

Yeah, this idea sounds cool. How would we divide the writers though?

"Salevaa, I'm at work at the moment, doing evenings. My MSN address is [email protected] (oh great, there goes another 50 contacts...) and I may well get on the net at home during the weekend."
Ok - sounds great, we can talk about this then.
"In response to the 'who starts the story' problem. How about either:
a) A rota system (no, not a washing line...)
b) We all start a story and see whose gets going (or keep all 3/4 going."
I may not be allowed to help write the stories, but I like the rota system - everyone gets a go and it seems quite fair.
"It would be like a series of comics or different novels. If we were really clever (and not too complicated) we could cross the stories over for a bit, where the characters meet others from the other stories.
yes? no? whatever?"
Heh - that would be funny!

So am I!
I'm not.
Well, someone had to say it...
