My first non-silver trophies ;D And they're awesome, thanks AtelierGames!
Way to go everyone :D

As the proud starter of Be Quiet, I'm pleasently surprised to see how tight and coherent it turned out (for a colaborative effort, that is).
I really tried to come up with an opening that allowed for many different interpretations and also many different styles.

I think the over all quality of the stories was higher than in previous projects, which is a good sign, especially since everyone wrote several passages each, and under much more stress.

Thank you Vince for the great administration, and also some fine contributions :)

Hear, hear!

ps.
I ran out of space, but I'll think of a way to fit the awards in my signature, hmm....

Aaaand... we're all done!  Thanks again to everyone for taking part!

If I can give myself a little mini review: I'd like to think that, despite taking a few hours here or there to pass the story on to the next person in line, I saved time overall by being able to deal quickly with people who were not responding, or were taking too long for whatever reason.  I did my best to PM everyone when I sent them the story and then would send 12 hour warnings and 5 hour warnings when possible.  I definitely wouldn't take on this role again, as it takes a lot of time!!!  But it was a lot of fun...

I would suggest the next time we do this activity to maybe have each person mail the story to the next person in the list themselves, like we did in previous chain story activities, but to also CC someone who is acting as an organizer to keep everyone on track.  It would take a lot of the pressure off the organizer, but also allow him to get the jump on people who went AWOL.

Anyways, hopefully we'll do another one of these in a few months, and hopefully it can be organized in a completely different way to keep things fresh!  Looking forward to it!

Thanks and congratulations to everybody!

I know that's not a very constructive post, but...

Three in a row, bitches!  :D

(Oh and thanks to Vince for hosting, AG for the trophies, and everybody for participating. This was so much more awesome than the last two times.)

Trihan

This was awesome. I'm somewhat disappointed with the direction that The Mission went in; when I started it I sort of intended it to be a Firefly-esque affair and the Anthony in my head isn't the one who ended up starring in the story, but then that's what collabs are all about. I intentionally left the start vague so that people could form their own interpretations. Good job everyone!

LGM

Booya! I'd like to thank the academy...
You. Me. Denny's.


Wyz

Well, that was a lot of fun :D Vince did a heck of a job organizing it, altough I can imagine that it took too much time of him. I think some off the responses could be automated, like the X hours left warnings and the story send and retrieval, that might help. If there are enough people intrested in such system, I could help building one :)

That would be awesome because I'd love to do something like this again.
