I think something like this may have been mentioned by feral, but I was
thinking about how to get people involved in the sight and came up with
something similar to it. Group righting. We’ll all agree on some sort of
topic or theme and general time setting them have someone start off by
righting the first chapter or general idea for the first chapter. Then it
will be handed off to someone else. They will rite the second. Then to
someone else and they will get the third. When every one’s done some sort
of conclusion will be decided upon and written up. If all of the
differences of righting styles don’t seem to coincide together well the
‘chapter ideas’ plan will have to be adopted. Someone will be designated a
secretary of sorts and they will get the general idea and happenings of the
chapter from whoever’s turn it is then write it up.
Tell me what you all think. I know the idea is kind of incomplete and may
not work but if you have any suggestions that would make it better go for
it. ____________________ fucking classy. |

I'm sorry, I couldn't getting over your misspelling of the word "writing"
to read anything else. Which you appear to have done twice. What is it you
were saying?

I was going to send you a wee private message bout that. It's your second
language isn't it? English, that is. And KGM, you know well what he was
saying overall, be kind. And yes that is coming from someone who hates
spelling errors, and is generally mean spirited. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

I’m working on my writing skills and I must admit they are poor,
my apologies. But how do you like the idea of the book? ____________________ fucking classy. |

I think a collection of short stories of every genre would be fantastic,
but I can't say I'm too fond of "group collaboration" authoring. Things
lose cohesiveness, even tho the spontanaiety is rather fun. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

Britva's Fiction Workshop, I think. At the bottom of the forums page. ____________________

Pale, this site IS a collaborative group writing project with every
participant acting as author, audience, critic, and fan to every other
participant. Lots of the articles and many of the forum topics are group
stream of conciousness exercizes.
If some of the people here want to have a pet forum for a collaborative
fiction piece, just let the powers that be know, or better yet just start
it. See if anyone joins in.
As far as posting things in Britva's fiction box, you may want to email him
to see if he is still willing to do that workshop. It is not just there for
you to post anything, it is there for you to have a serious and well
trained author (or two) critique your work. Read some of his stuff to see
what his genres and to what standards your work will be held.
And please, dont just start posting one of your stories every day in the
forums. that is messy and lets us know that you are just here to engrandize
yourself and not actually interested in colaborative effort... and people
will say very mean things to you on your stories (something similar has
happened before). ____________________ Real goths wear silver and crosses to keep the werewolves and vampires

Actually the collaborative thing isn't that new of an idea. Remember
this:
http://www.shmeng.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=XForum&fi
le=viewthread&tid=211
It was fairly successful. I think it would be a good idea to do a group
project. Not saying I'll write anything, but it could be enjoyable. ____________________ co-worker: "Your gay!?"

I would love to try this. Not only would it help out the sight, but it
would be fun.
I’m wondering if we should try opening a new forum for it (if the powers
that be are willing to do so) or just a new thread. I also think it would
be a good idea to get some sort of list of the people who want to
participate in the story so we can come to some sort of general idea it
will be written about. ____________________ fucking classy. |

And spelling site like that! Comic genius. I am so turned off the idea of
submitting anything I think to the musings of people who may only just be
able to read the individual words that my penis has amputated itself and is
now rowing itself to Cuba in an upturned wig. ____________________ Light is changing to shadow, and casting a shroud over all we have known. |

What happened to everyone who wanted to do this? Only one person has added
to the story. Everyone full of hot air?
