Absolute Lithops posted:I'd like to do 16, the trials of Miriam. I think her trials should provide her with something that will prove vital to her defeat of Frog, but whose importance may not be apparent in my chapter. I think other people need to figure out who Miriam is before I can choose some trials for her. Sounds good! Welcome. There are now as many writers as there are chapters. At this point, if you are interested in writing a chapter, you will be put on a WAITING LIST. I am going to begin contacting posters who initially said they would be interested in writing to see if they still are. If they aren't, posters from the WAITING LIST will get a chance in the order they signed up. ---------------- |

misty mountaintop posted:Post/coordinate as much as is helpful to you without impeding the writing. I know people have very different creative processes. Some people just need to get to work. Some need to have some direction and grounding first. I just also know that it's very common to get so hung up on details and getting it "right" that the fun process of imagining and writing becomes an anxious one instead. do you reckon a shared google doc be helpful for this?

City of Glompton posted:do you reckon a shared google doc be helpful for this? Yeah, I think that will work. We don't need one right yet, but that's probably the best way once the editing starts. City of Glompton posted:is the very dirty princess supposed to be a someone in particular? Up to you, but it wasn't intended to be. The "Tales" aren't meant to be connected directly to the frame narrative. They're there to provide variety, pacing, themes etc. ---------------- |

misty mountaintop posted:Ahundredbux should field this because they have the first Miriam chapter. Thank you. About how long should the chapter be? Is there an approximate page range? I want to have an idea of how many trials I can fit in Absolute Lithops fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Oct 13, 2016 |

Absolute Lithops posted:Thank you. There's pretty much no upper limit although fairly soon I think I will suggest a "deadline" to at least give some semblance of structure to this thing. My hope is that the average page-count per paragraph will be in the 5-8 page range (140-220 total words for 28 chapters), but that means some people coming in under that and some people coming in over that. it's fine if it's more. ---------------- |

Splatmaster, you may have felt a weird warm feeling when I returned your soul to you from whence I had trapped it. You are now on the list of heroes who have finished their chapter.

would it be against the rules/spirit of the thread to ask for some excerpts or even drafts? i am very new to the BYOB scene and would both love to see what others have come up with while making sure that my chapter isn't super terrible in comparison |
