Attention Storybook Writers! Answer me this...

So I had this idea. I was thinking about making a storybook--a storybook that brought together the best the storybook forum has in terms of writing, to make the best storybook we possibly can: in terms of quality, in terms of quantity, and in terms of sheer awesomeness. So here's what I was thinking. The storybook idea would magically appear in the storybook forums. You all would read the idea, and come up with characters for it. You would submit a full character profile, with biography, to me for approval. You would also be required to submit a writing sample, to a prompt I would post in the storybook thread. There would be only X number of slots available, on a first come first serve basis. By submitting a character, you would agree to post in the storybook at least X number of times per week. I would review the character, send it back to you for any corrections, and repeat the process until we got a character that works well for the plot. Once we got a cast, we would start the storybook. NOTE: the writing sample is more to make sure you can write coherent English than to determine the quality of your writing. Most people that have done storybooks with me in the past know that I'm fairly lenient in terms of writing, and am always willing to help if need be. Whadaya think?

Grif--It wouldn't be turn based: there would be no particular order in which the group would post. In my experience, a posting order only hinders a storybook.

Hatter--I usually try to be rather structured in my storybook

A note on plot--I'm not sure the genre or plot yet, to be completely honest. We'll talk about it in a few days, yes? ^_^

Got YWS? I do.

You know I'm in. But of course, it twould all depend on a. topic and b. how many times a week I'd have to post. As you know from GT, I often need a little "nudging".

In fact, I'll also need to you prod me along for GT as well, because I *am* still down for it.

I think it would be fun, I'm in

Of course I'd love to know more about the specifics, but most likely I'm in. I hope it's not fantasy though o_o I can do fantasy, but there's no way I'll be motivated enough to carry it out through the weeks.
