[RP Blitz] Beneath a Flame Eternal OOC

RPMo is upon us! We can begin writing TOMORROW!

Wanted to touch base with y'all again on expectations because we'll need to hit the ground running. Here's an outline of what we should strive for to stay on track:

Milestone Goals
- Week 1 (7/1–7/8): Write Posts 1–5 (x2 Avian, x2 Wolfi, x1 herb)
- Week 2 (7/9–7/15): Write Posts 6–9 (x2 herb, x1 Avian, x1 Wolfi)
- Week 3 (7/16–7/22): Write Posts 10–13 (x2 Avian, x1 Wolfi, x1 herb)
- Week 4 (7/23–7/29): Write Posts 14–16 (x1 Wolfi, x1 herb, x.5 Avian)
- Final Stretch (7/30–7/31): Write Posts 17–18 (x.5 Wolfi, x.5 herb)

I doubt we'll stick to that exactly, but it's a good reference for how much we need to churn out each week! We're each writing 5 posts plus one mini epilogue post.

Avian, if you could continue to share your schedule with us ahead of time so we can find 2ish times to meet up every week, that'd be great!

Reminders:
- Posts do not need to be long (shorter than 1k is perfectly fine)
- Posts should not be polished
- Don't wait for the posts before yours to be finished before working on yours. That's what our outline is for, to help us work ahead!
- We don't have enough time to collaborate on every post. You're free to write for characters that aren't your own. That being said, collaborating is a great way to knock out a post together quickly, and we should aim to collaborate on the dialogue-heavy posts when possible!

Wolfi's To-Do Tonight
- Finish envoy NPC CPs (could use help on this if either of you are free!)
- Create character header imgs + scene break BBCode
- Start brainstorming the Ignia obstacles

@Avian - Vediatha dropped some lore!

i'm in the pad for a bit!

I'll be there soon!

Avian’s schedule for the next two ish weeks:

I will be traveling and on a school trip from July 1 through 6. We are taking busses to said destination, which will give me 20+ hours of traveling where i’ll have plenty of time to write my first post. It would also be really helpful if I could knock out my second post, too, but I do need Wolfi for that. Is there a time tomorrow you would be available to work on it? Otherwise, I might be pretty hard to reach until July 5th in the afternoon (We will be leaving in the afternoon that day). If it works to collaborate on the 5th/6th instead, that works too! but it might be nice to get ahead of schedule if we can?

After my travels:
7/7: available all day
7/8: available in the evening/night
7/9: available all day
7/10: unavailable
7/11: available in the evening/night

update: i am no longer available on the 10th. will update the original post, but also wanted it to show up as a notification

I hope you have a great trip! 20 hrs of traveling, yikes @.@ Thank you again for this clear outline of your availability - so so helpful <3

I'd be available tomorrow! Definitely late evening but can also hop on during work if it's a slow day. I'll ping you here when I'm in the pad!

Simple header BBCodes are in the pad at the top!

working on my post right now! i unfortunately wont be in the pad just because of how spotty my internet is right now, but know it’s in the works <3

also, @Wolfi, are you wanting to read through posts before we actually go ahead and post, or shall i put it in the thread once i’m done?

That makes sense! Thanks for the update!

Naw you are free to post! If there's anything plot-breaking we have to change we can after the fact, no biggie C:

okay! my internet is working a lot better now, so i’m planning to write my post in the pad now. hopefully i’ll get it done in this writing session.

YEAAAHH AVIAN!!! FIRST POST DONE!!

Such a fantastic introduction to Idalia and Claymeadow's situation. Like I told you earlier, the details are so good - the allusions to the pantheon, using @soundofmind's seasons, the unlit candles, her innately remembering the cupboards in her childhood kitchen - you NAILED it!

Hope you can catch up on sleep today after your travels! <3

The font size in the character name headings is a bit large for my liking <.< I will likely fix and update those (and edit your post with the new img!)

Updated all those, and also tightened up the setting notes at the top of the pad! May be worth adding it as a compendium addendum (say that ten times fast) but I'll wait in case y'all have additions!

i will try to start writing tonight or tomorrow >.> so excited!!!!! avian, great job :]

Avian, would you be able to meet up tomorrow (7/5) to collaborate on your next post? Or will the connection on the bus be too iffy?

I can definitely meet Thursday evening for a write-in with you both if that works! I have something either Monday or Wednesday evening - we're still figuring out which day - but whichever one it isn't, I will be free that evening as well!

i will be available to collab for the next long while! (13 hours) i’ll try to routinely check yws for notifs, but i will likely be easier to reach through pm for whenever you’re available, wolfi :]

im excited for the upcoming posts!
