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

Sounds good for me too...
But I thought we were going to make simultaneous stories occurring in the town...

Okay, I'm interested in reading this. Just make sure someone posts a link here so I don't miss it.

Nah... if we did that, we'd end up with a heap of stories that contradicted one another. One of the objectives we're trying to gain through this little exercise, is to build our team working skills. Have a look at the original cycle in the link above - it really will give you a good idea of how to approach this.

Enk, it looks like there's nothing left to sort out, if you wanted to get the ball rolling?

Thanks Daniel...I was a reader of the Circle then, so I have some idea of how it works (and the common delays... )...

Each story focused on a different character in the tavern at the same time. We could do something like that.

I thought we were going to follow this approach... But I agree with you, it would become a mess of stories in no time...

Heh... What I ment by that, was that each story should be in the same time period. Not written at the same time, just set over the same time. If you get what I mean?

Okay, Enk, get started because I can't Wait for my turn

OK - it looks like I'll have the first post up sometime next Monday. Sorry about not getting back to you guys quicker, but I've been out of touch for a few days.

Anyway, it seems to me that a good round robin tale telling should begin with a central theme - so unless there's any objection, the first tale will revolve around the proprieter of the Bloated Goat public house, Lorh.

Look for it in a week.

It seems like we are having some misunderstanding here... I know that we are posting in turns , respecting an already established order...
At the time, I was wondering if our stories would be simultaneous, all different stories occurring at the same time, but with a different perspective with each writer (i.e. a tavern where various characters experience different stories, not necessarily in touch with the other stories, but having as a central theme the tavern at the appointed time) or we were going to follow a more flexible story timeline, as you guys used in the first circle...

Thanks...

Oh dear... it appears we are arguing for the same thing. I have no idea now. I would have said, all at the same time. Just say (for example) that Enk writes about the bar tender having a really good night until he finds his prize winning bull nailed to the ceiling of his bedroom. GWolf, might come in and write about how the bull got nailed to the ceiling in the first place. Then ajanders might come in and talk about one of the background characters Enk or GWolf had mentioned, and describe the journey he had to the island, and why he's currently staying at the inn, and have utterly nothing to do with ceiling hammered bovine.

Does that make it clear, or have I just made things worse?

Uhh... I'm glad I'm towards the end...

Wait... I think I get it now... I think...
