I have resent it.

[TheBronzePickle]

I'm so fucking excited, man. I'm so excited, even though you can't see it, I'm shaking my entire body like an autistic kid. Because I am an autistic kid.

[Dsarker]

Aren't we all? I know I am.

[TheBronzePickle]

Wait, are we all excited or autistic?

[Urist Imiknorris]

Yes.

[TheBronzePickle]

Damned mathematician's answer .

[Dsarker]

Come on! You're being too close minded there, TBP.

We could easily be BOTH, I know I am.

[TheBronzePickle]

True.

[Flying Dice]

Yesyesyesyes. Okay, also, disregard that pm. Didn't notice this when I sent it.


Re: Writing it as a RP: I'm not sure about this. I was thinking that it might be easiest if we establish a sequence of events together, including the basic goals for each chapter (i.e. establish events in relation to who-what-where-when-why) and then divide the chapters between ourselves. With a split party scenario, we could have one person with a character in each group write from their character's perspective and include both/all of them.

[Crazy Cow]

That would actually work well. Each part form the perspective of a different character, detailing what they are going through both mentally and physically.

Okay. I'm thinking we each write a day of the week, ending it on the day when Fluttershy is found, focusing on one or two characters for each day. That sound good?

Sounds good to me. So either we write them simultaneously and fix things up after/write along a preplanned storyline(?) or we take turns writing, with the others proofreading. The advantage to the latter would be that we could probably get a higher quality out of it, and that we could ensure that there aren't continuity errors, because the next person would know exactly what they were working with. OTOH, it would also probably be much slower.

Thoughts?

[Sean Mirrsen]

First work together on a single sequence of events on a timeline, and determine how the story follows them, to establish continuity. Then everybody writes their own parts simultaneously, according to the events. Then, editing pass by everyone at once proofreading, fixing continuity errors and flow between parts.

It's almost how we(you) wrote Friends in Need, except we skipped the first step. We really need a rough draft of the whole story done first, so that the everyone can then fill in details on their own without breaking off anywhere.

[Dsarker]

Taking it to PMs.

[Flying Dice]

Avast, me hearties! There be work t' be done, and I haven't seem much o' it o' late.

Because yeah, I agree with Sean: I'd like to prevent this from falling apart.
