Story thread?

Or, in other words, it might all come apart or it might all work, and none of us know : )

Also, the idea is not to write a coherent story right out of the bat. If there are authors who can lay out their novel in chronological order in one sitting without havign to them go back and edit and re-edit for words, pace, and even consitency I don't know them (be interesting to know if there are any who do it one shot like that)

Not the point for me, the point was to see an interesting story develope, while at the same time tryign to learn from others and sharpen my own imagination and words, especially in this settign where yo do want to be clear or people can't post, and you do want to be interesting as you only have a short amount of space to make your mark.

I wouldn't be jumping off a cliff if Zoooom's mage interjection ended up being a dead end when this finally finishes or if the chaartcer of samuel just dropped off the face of the story... but instead it might make for interesting twists along the way.

No, you're right, nobody (or almost nobody anyway) can lay it all out in chronological order at first and have it work. It requires re-editing, re-tooling, minor changes to past events to make them consistent and releveant with events that happen later on.

In other words, exactly what cannot be done in this story. That was my exact point, actually; you just somehow managed to state it better than me-- you can't go back and edit this story, so the odds of it flying apart at the seams are that much greater.

Umm, we could at the end! We could do it now. Coilin could disappear, the mage section could be lifted out, Samuel black could cease to be, the sallow man's entire prescence could be removed, we could alter the 'stay in this glade' plot... we can edit just like anyone else jsut takes a bit longer to get a consensus and might make some people sad.

I know what your getting at, I just don't care. Now stop typing here and go be a GM, or post in the sotry thread, or both! : )

Awww, no one's added to it since Wednesday, and that was me! Ah well, it was a scary experiment given this thread's reaction, I reckon I'll unsticky the posts next week unless someone adds to them and can sticky Sophia's RPG threads instead

Still like to see more of zyx writing in english though! Maybe something else another time...

[cowsmanaut]

there.. I only post in times of dire need.. once to help tie things together and now to keep it rolling..

Hopefully it's enough to give people some ideas.. or it could be incredibly boring and not be anything anyone wants to have anything to do with..

Tweaked a continuity glitch on mine (there's another, but that could be changed by a new story paragraph)
