A Story Round...

[banshee]

I suggested to Ven the possibility of a story round where someone begins the story and someone else writes the next bit and another person another bit. well, you get the picture hehe.

Is everyone keen on this?

[banshee]

yay! I got two votes! and one of them is mine (cackle).

:D :p

sounds pretty cool... cant guarantee i can get in it but i can try... how long does each persons part have to be?

[banshee]

Gosh, we havent got that far yet LOL I (or Ven and I or whoever) will figure out any "rules" govering the story round.

If there are enough ppl keen on the idea, then we will take it from there. Will let u know Mike! :)

This is my first time posting at Pencil Jack - although I've been viewing the site regularly for several months ( mainly to check out my friend Sam Spade's work).

A story in the round sounds good. I'm hoping it kicks my own stalled projects into gear. Can't wait to see the premise you come up with.

Ok.. this is what I was thinking for the 'story round'.

I think if we fix the characters, environment and a bit of background before beginning the story, that might be worthwhile. Story will be in prose form most likely. we can try converting to a script later on as another exercise perhaps? I was thinking of limiting the "size" or "volume" of what someone wld write. I think by the number of words perhaps. That's good training for writing under constraints.

any other suggestions for the 'rules'?

Ok, something clicked and I got to grips with the basic background etc.

I want in on this, but I'm unsure what is going on as far as you've given a background and set it to 1000 words. Are we each then picking a section of the story or just writing something?

[banshee]

cool, xadrian.

well, someone starts a segment and then someone else continues the story, then someone else etc. Basically I gave the background etc. The rest is up to you :D

does that makes more sense now?
