[QUOTE="Sialia, post: 1522042, member: 1025"] I know, but it would be a [i]good[/i] series of short stories if we collaborated on them and combined them--and they wouldn't conflict because the timelines are thousands of years apart. You could be pretty much free to do whatever you wanted within your timeline, as long as you were more or less within the standard conventions of d20. Say a few hundred years after your story completes, the world as you built it collapses, and lays fallow for a few thousand, and then we stick in mine. Bits of evidence from things that happened in your world might show up in mine, or perhaps not. It could be done, and it would be good. Of course, the piece that I'm working on now violates that, because I wanted to write in yours right off, and started working in your timeline. Um. Although in a completely different geographic location. And it could be off by a couple dozen years--but probably not more than about 50 or 60 years. The point is, there's enough going on politically and philosphically here that there's room for a lot in this world, and it's worth going on with. Having multiple authors with different styles poking at it wouldn't hurt it, because a high piece of the charm is the intense quality of local and personal material and issues, and the variety of them.
