Now opened! The AGS grandiose writing project, starting now!

Andail · Tue 15/04/2008 11:24:08

Ok, I'm done with my part now...I chose to write a rather absurd ending, as there were too many loose ends to tie with so few words...I still had to exceed my word limit a bit, or it would be completely nonsensical.

I still enjoyed the story, though.

Awaiting the last story now, and then I'll publish them.

Tuomas · Tue 15/04/2008 14:14:30

Gee, I find it hard to keep myself in my pants.

Also, I'm a bit excited about the results of the stories.

voh · Tue 15/04/2008 17:33:23

I'm keen to see how A-2 was wrapped up

Can't wait!

Waiting for Jon to send it on. Been 34 hours, 2 minutes (No pressure, just being consistent in my time nazism...)

Maaan, the suspense is killing me. Being one of the last is even worse than being one of the first. I have absolutely no idea what this is going to be about...

I can't blame you

I'm most excited about how the other stories turned out.

brokenbutterfly · Wed 16/04/2008 00:42:31

By the way, any news from those who dropped out as to why? Was it because of loss of interest, lack of time, or are they still AWOL? Just curious...

Can't wait to read all the stories!! Especially Branch B which I haven't seen at all.

I totally understand you, maybe next time you could say you want to be at the beginning

... but TwinMoon and lo_res_man asked not to be at the end, and look where they are now... oh well it's worth a try

Vince Twelve · Wed 16/04/2008 07:47:26

And I asked to be at the end!

Perhaps next time, bribes are in order.

Jon · Wed 16/04/2008 14:25:24

Really sorry guys I won't be able to write my part as i've just been given a heap of work to do. Sorry if i've let anybody down

SSH · Wed 16/04/2008 14:39:44

Presumably you've passed it on to Emerald, then...?

Tuomas · Wed 16/04/2008 14:42:26

heh, that's the 4th missing from the complete branch B-2

auriond · Thu 17/04/2008 00:13:28

All right! It's moving on, finally

I can't wait to see all four stories!

Emerald · Thu 17/04/2008 12:19:17

Got it! Reading through it now...

Just wondering - is lo_res still ready and willing, or should I be writing an ending? (after all this I'm hesitant to make presumptions)

Vince Twelve · Thu 17/04/2008 12:35:58

Best to PM him and find out.

Emerald · Thu 17/04/2008 14:16:09

Well, I finished and sent it on to him.

If he ends up not coming around, I can always change my addition to a more definitive ending...

Jack Sheehan · Fri 18/04/2008 16:39:21

So close....

lo_res_man · Sat 19/04/2008 02:26:58

I apologize, I haven't really been checking my email, the 10,00th 'fr3lk 8i 2le7' wemail rather grates on the soul, as well I had rather forgotten about this, my apologies. I will get right on it.

Wahey! I can almost taste it.

Stupot · Sat 19/04/2008 12:17:35

You got any ideas for the follow-up Andail?
I was thinking of having one where one person begins a story with a character, who meets a new one (maybe walks past him in the street or serves him at the grocery shop), then the next writer has to follow that character for 200 words or so before introducing a new one. The next writer would take that new character somewhere else, who would then meet a new one... theeen, it would be the job of the final person in the list to have his character go full circle and reintroduce the character who started it all...

What do you reckon?

Emerald · Sat 19/04/2008 15:50:57

I was thinking that we should have substitutes/people who are designated to take over for those of us that will (inevitably, it seems) not be able to meet the deadline. So we could have the normal list, and then a concurrent list of substitutes (which could have the same people on it).

For example...

Main List Sub List
Andail Andail
Emerald Emerald
Vince Vince
Moony Moony
Stupot Stupot

So, the first person off the main list to be skipped will be substituted by the first person on the sub list (e.g. if Vince is skipped, Andail takes over). And the second to be skipped is subbed by the second on the sub list (e.g if Moony is then skipped, Emerald takes over). Et cetera. Or something.

TwinMoon · Sat 19/04/2008 19:26:36

Not a bad idea, Emmy.

IMHO you only need 1-2 persons to secure the ending, if someone is skipped the next person in line can just continue the story.
