    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.

    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.

    I'd like to get involved in something like this, though I'm not sure if my writing will be up to standard. Either way, I'd give it my best shot if you'll have me.

    If you'd be looking for another author.

    I'd love to. I need to practise my writing more anyway. I tend to add in romance for some reason, but not like squealy-girl romance. More like,
    "But seriously, we need to sort this out."
    "Not now, honey, I'm trying to assasinate this guy. We'll talk later."
    "There might not be a later."
    "Good luck talking to me then."

    Don't ask. That was from a story I started writing then forgot about xD

    Great, guys! PM me with plot ideas, and we'll see where it goes from there 8D

    Also, axel-chan, I'm okay with that kinda romance, as long as it isn't the central part of the story.

    I would love to help out, because I've got tons of stories in my head. But unless you don't mind things like fantasy, maybe a little action or something, you might want to just pass me by. I love writing stories

    I never make it the central part unless it needs to be.

    I'm too tired to think of plot ideas : o

    I'm okay with basically anything, though.

    Oh wow, I wasn't expecting quite this many responses O.o

    Once I get on a proper computer, I'll post more info on how to organize this, and probably put up a group for us to brainstorm in. So keep an eye on this thread!

    In the mean time, please PM me any ideas you have for basic plots, scenarios or settings.

    really? I've made it a point to make each chapter at least 2000 words. Otherwise i would never reach the minimun word limit to make an official novel

    The longer the better, but sometimes people freeze up when given a deadline, so I wanted to give a doable limit. If everyone could write 2000+ words per chapter, that'd be great, but if the extra words come with the cost of content, that's no good.

    yeah, that's why I like adding dialogue. As long as you don't lose track of what you're trying to do, you can do a lot with it. Check out my 4 chapters of my book for example.
    And I add dailogue because I know no one wants to read a book that's got absolutely no dialogue. And a friend who helps with my story at a library thing says it adds white space, so it's easier on the person's eyes and it doesn't overwhelm them with words
