[ENWWC] A New Story (Updated: May 5)

[Daniel Knight]

Okay... we have ten exactly. They are as follows, and will be posting in this random order:

1. GWolf
2. ajanders
3. Altman
4. Black Bard
5. Daniel Knight
6. ScyldSceafing
7. NiTessine
8. Chauzu
9. Lackadaisical
10. Enkhidu

I like your idea Gwolf, it kind of reminds me of the Tales of the Mos Eisley Cantina book. Each story focused on a different character in the tavern at the same time. We could do something like that. Tales at the Bloated Goat or something.

Anyone from the last round remember what the word limits were? Did you guys think it was enough, or too much?

For those just joining, please check out the last round listed up the top. It’ll give you a good idea how things kind of flow.

Just as an FYI, I am willing to give up my spot if someone else had their hopes up to get in and didn't. Timing is bad for me at this point, because by the time my turn comes around I'll be elbow deep in dirty diapers - my little one is only a few weeks away.

 

[GWolf]

Enk, how come you never go online anymore?

Anyway, I assume I will be starting this up first, but before this, lets decide on the Setting eh? We could do small scale, or a larger scale.

Small Scale would be like a Tavern, or other meeting place
A Medium Scale would be like a Town or City
A large scale would be a country.

My vote is in for a Secluded Town on a small island slightly off the coast of a civilized country.

The word limit was 2000 I believe. I also think this worked nicely.

If that's the case Enk, you should go first. It's seems unfair that you can't participate in something you masterminded due to a random dice roll. GWolf, you don't mind do you?

 

[Enkhidu]

As long as we get rolling within about a week or so, I'm game.

Once you decide what the parameters will be this time, let me know and I'll get started.

[Clarify]By the way, I wasn't really the "mastermind" behind this one - the original idea was dshai527's, and I owe the rules set to another board member (though for the life of me I can't remember who right now - anyway, they weren't mine). Butthanks for the compliment anyway![/Clarify]

 

[GWolf]

No, not a problem for me. I'll go when ever's best for the group (though) I perfer in the 1st 4.

Setting Stuff

If it will help get things started, I have a world map (water and good sized islands) complete with some place names I can donate to the cause.
I have some cultural and political information as well, but that might make things to specific for some people's tastes.
Let me know if it is desired and I'll post it tonight when I get home.

Okay, new order:

1. Enkhidu
2. GWolf
3. ajanders
4. Altman
5. Black Bard
6. Daniel Knight
7. ScyldSceafing
8. NiTessine
9. Chauzu
10. Lackadaisical

Also, the word count for last time was between 750 - 2,000 words. That worked well, so let's keep it.

aja, thanks for the offer, but I think it may stifle the spontaneity. Let's make the location a small island with one small town. As there is no coin going from tale to tale like last time, we'll have to make sure that each new story ads to the information provided by the last one. It doesn't have to continue the last writers plot (although it could), but it does have to at least mention a location or something.

Did what I just say, make any sense?

There is also a Yahoo group to join so we can share ideas about each others stories without rubbishing up the boards, but we're still working out how to actually work it.

Erm... have I missed anything? Ideas?

 

[GWolf]

All sounds good.
