Think we should skip Eggie yet? Or is it on Jon now?

Looking at it now, if Eggie's the last to fall out, it's not too bad, actually

Glad to see our branch is moving forward with everyone intact.

Could you remove the hyphen in my name, Emerald?

*shrug* Sure, if it means that much to you...

So, as far as I can tell, here's what's happening next:

1) Someone needs to contact Antonio and tell him to re-send the file to Jon
OR
PixelPerfect/Akatosh/Venus sends the file (sans their additions) to Jon

2) TwinMoon sends the file on to Andail, to finish part A-2

3) Venus finishes part B-2 and sends it to Andail to add to his site

3) Venus adds his addition and sends it on to Jelfish (why has Venus seemed to miss that? or am I missing something?) to finish part B-2

You might have missed this:

I think Jelfish will have to be skipped aswell. He hasn't signed in since march 21st.

Emerald · Fri 11/04/2008 19:21:22

Ah-right-cha.

Oh yeah, and I think it would be best if all 4 story branches were posted simultaneously. Otherwise, it'll be unfair on the others, since the part B-1 folks (Jon, lo_res and I) will have an advance on the story (since we'll be able to read the first half of the story before it's even our go)

I don't know if that really matters, but we're probably better off keeping things even...

As eager as I am to read the finished products, I agree. It would also prevent the more complete branches and limbs from influencing the growth of the others.

brokenbutterfly · Sat 12/04/2008 03:01:12

Well maybe Andail thought that uploading the stories one at a time would be nice in the sense that those done writing could read the finished product (whole Branch A-1, Branch A-2 except Andail, Branch B up to Antonio and Branch B-2 except Venus)

. Then have a laugh, and see how ideas diverged. As for those who haven't added their part yet, they aren't supposed to read it... but it's true that if one branch is uploaded, it'd be hard to resist the temptation of peeking. So I agree, we can wait!

By the way, Venus is a girl... I wouldn't assume otherwise from the name

and her profile confirms it.

Andail · Sat 12/04/2008 08:45:09

Twinmoon, I still haven't received your document. Have you sent it? Did you write the right address?
It's petterlj at yahoo dot se

Expect something tomorrow afternoon, Andail.

I'm working on it now. Just thought I'd get your e-mail address up front.

Andail · Sat 12/04/2008 09:53:59

Oh sorry for stressing you.
Thought you wrote that the day before yesterday, for some strange reason.

Indeed, I am.

Anyway, I have just finished the story of branch B2 and sent it to Andail. It really is a shame that Jellfish dropped out. Somehow the story seemed to just take off properly and now I had to draw it to a rather abrupt ending which I'm afraid is not exactly top-notch either. I think I completely failed the satire part. But well, it was fun writing...

TwinMoon · Sat 12/04/2008 12:28:46

Ok, I've sent it to Andail.

@ emerald: Moony?
Did you read too much comics with Spider-man and Moonknight?

Andail · Sat 12/04/2008 13:06:08

Ok, got Venus' part and Twinmoon's, which I'm gonna finish soon enough.
When I get the fourth part, I'll upload them all together.

Jack Sheehan · Sat 12/04/2008 13:26:16

Does anyone know where the fourth bit is?

Vince Twelve · Sun 13/04/2008 00:03:31

I don't know if anyone has bothered to PM Antonio (he thought he was done and had passed it on) or Eggie (he seems to not have noticed that he has it, maybe it got caught in the spam filter as .rtf files are wont to do) so I've gone ahead and PMed them both.

We'll see if Eggie can write his bit and send it on before Antonio skips him. Otherwise, on to Jon.

If neither respond we can always take the B-2 branch and strip away the B-2 additions.

Heh, you're the only person I've ever seen who spells Spider-Man correctly.
But I was thinking more of the Harry Potter character played by Brendan Gleeson.

Edit: No, wait, I wasn't. Different character.

Vince Twelve · Mon 14/04/2008 07:10:13

In the interest of getting this completed, I'm PMing Pixelperfect to ask him to send the story without his modifications on to Jon (as per Emerald's fine suggestion), who has been active in the forums and hopefully will get B-1 movin'.

Hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes.

Jon, you're still with us, right?

PixelPerfect · Mon 14/04/2008 08:41:30

I sent the story how I got it from Antonio to Jon just now.

Jon · Mon 14/04/2008 17:08:42

Don't worry i'm still here
