So, what the heck is this?

Basically, we have multiple authors writing the same story. How will this work, you ask?

•Before the actual writing process begins, we're going to plan a basic outline for the story, meaning the setting, the premise, parts of the plot, and a few of the main characters to get the writing going.
•The authors will be assigned an order to post in. After the previous author has posted their chapter, the author next in line has two weeks to post their chapter. As I'm hoping that this would reach the length of a full length novel, this process will be repeated a few times.
•We sit back and enjoy this awesomesauce piece of story telling.


Plotting, we're supposed to do that together?

Well, sorta. I've been asking in the original thread for you to PM me ideas for plots, settings, and so on.

I urge you to still do that, and DO NOT POST YOUR SUGGESTIONS IN THIS GROUP. Depending on the amount of suggestions I receive, I'll post some, if not all of them anonymously in the group, so we can all vote on the best suggestions as objectively as possible.

Not to worry, this doesn't mean that you won't be credited for coming up with the plot for this entire thing. If your suggestion is chosen, full credit will be given to you. And even if your story-line doesn't end up being used, if you wish I'll mention whose suggestions we were considering here in the community.

ALL SUGGESTIONS MUST BE SENT TO ME BY SUNDAY AUGUST 28th, 11:59 PM PST (UTC/GMT -08) This is also when sign-ups end, unless we've already got 15 people by then. Voting will take place for the next three days, meaning that it will end on WEDNESDAY AUGUST 31st, SAME TIME.

As for characters? We're gonna be a lot looser about that. After our basic plot has been chosen, I will open a thread here where you all can leave templates for characters you think would benefit the story. This doesn't mean that the characters will be used. On the other hand, this character might be used in ways you did not intend them to be used. As this isn't an a RP, we the authors get to control every single character introduced in the story how we wish to, as long as it services the plot. I'll give more details on this in the character thread. There is no deadline for the character suggestions. Well, maybe the end of the story >.<


Writing process? Aren't you jumping the gun here?

Maybe, but I like to be thorough.

All of you who signed up will be placed in a random writing order, apart from me, as I will be the one starting the story. Like I said before, the person after me will have two weeks to write the second chapter, but if it is finished earlier, you can post it as soon as it's been approved. After this chapter has been posted, the third person in line will have two weeks to post their chapter, and so on, and so on.

What's that you say, you're not sure if you can make the deadline? No worries, just let me know as soon as possible (i.e. not two days before the deadline), no questions asked, and I'll either give you an extra week of writing time, or shift writing duties to the next person in line, and put you at the end of the loop. Unless you are the last person in the loop, then I'm gonna hafta get real clever about this.

As for the actual chapters, I do want to review all written material before it is posted, to ensure some grammatical standards, and that the story stays on track and respects what the other authors have posted. Because of this, I'd greatly appreciate if you sent me the chapters at least a couple days before the deadline, so that if bigger chunks of the story need to be changed, there is enough time for that. After I've given permission to post the chapter, you may do so.

I'd like to ask for two other 'Beta-readers', so that the work load can be distributed to more than one person, so that this won't turn into a complete dictator ship, and so that my material will also be checked. More on this in the Beta-reader thread.

Now, a little bit on the content. I'd like to remind you of the fact that Kh-vids is a site dedicated to a childrens' video game, and the overall rating for the site is PG-13. Let's not go over that rating. This means no graphic violence, sex, or overall disturbing imagery. As I personally tend to curse like a sailor, I'm gonna say a little profanity is allowed, as long we stay away from the f-bomb and other words not allowed on basic cable/pre-watershed. I'd also like to clarify that this doesn't mean that we won't allow any violence, implied sex, or somewhat unsettling imagery, as long as you give sufficient warning. Of course, if the mods aren't okay with this, we'll change the material to suit the correct standards.

There will be a word limit, with a minimum of 700 words per chapter. If there is a need, we'll also include a maximum limit, but I'm kinda doubting that we'll need that.

Thanks for reading this, and happy writing!

Questions? Suggestions? Post 'em below!

For a while I've wanted to write a multi-chapter story, but I can't think of a good plot, and I'm never motivated enough to actually write it >.<

So, if anyone wants to write a story with me, I'm good with almost any genre, except for romance, and I'd like to write something mainly aimed to teenagers/young adults.

So, any takers?

EDIT: As there seem to be quite a few takers, here's a few clarifications:

This will be a multi-chaptered story, with multiple authors. We'll figure out a basic plot out-line together, and then turn the leashes of our created world to one author at a time.

If you wish to be a part of this, either post in this thread or send me a PM/VM, and I'll send you an invite to the group meant to organize this thing. More detailed information under the spoiler tag.

Spoiler

You can ask to join the group until SUNDAY AUGUST 28th, 11:59PM PST (GMT/UTC -08) or until all 15 spots have gone. As all of the spots have gone, unfortunately I am NO LONGER ACCEPTING MORE WRITERS

To those who already posted in this thread, I'm assuming you're in, and I'm sending you an invite to the group. If you however do not wish to take part in this (or you'd rather work on a story one-on-one with me) let me know ASAP.
