I am thinking of starting a new storybook, and I know that with the recent changes, that people who join would be more commited.

Not many people want to just casually spend 500 points, but I think I will, since I can't be bothered to do the points competition Wink

So any ideas? What do we want to see?

I also thought maybe a storybook to improve poetry? i.e. each person submits a piece of narrative poetry to follow on their characters. This would help with poetry sides and certainly shed a different light on the matter. This may be hard though, so...

None of the above.

A thriller.

I'd quite like to see a well thought out horror but the suggestion of a thriller is good too.

I agree, a thriller would be interesting. Anybody have any ideas?

Well if you went with the thriller idea, you could have someone play the good characters/ victims and then others play various groups of criminals or allies. It would have to focus around an initial crime against the victims (attempted murder/ theft/ blackmail) and them trying to discover which suspects did it and indeed which people are allies or innocent and which aren't.

Not horror or anything, but I like kitty15's idea of having it based around people involved in a crime. I'd join that.

Curse you people who have time to do a storybook...lol I wish I could. If I could do one, I'd want to do thriller as well.

I really like the idea of a thriller. You could do a kind of political suspense/drama thriller thingy...think like Bourne Identity meets Munich meets The Sum of All Fears...BOOYAH.

I love the idea of a thriller, too. I don't think there are any going on at the moment.

Alright, show we do some brainstorming?

Present day? Action? MC (do we need one)? "Sides"?

We could do a planned murder, and have the criminals, victims and police. Or the same thing with a robbery.

I think it would be best to do it in present day, and have people be able to decide whether they're a criminal, victim or police officer when they join up.

Just some ideas.

Alright, I gave it a start. It is more political than I planned, but should be fun!
