So, where shall we do this co-writing? My MA posts gdoc or elsewhere?

@ScarlettFire @thewritersdream I got the first bit finished on the doc, if you want to look at it. I figured that Layla would probably have something to say before I went further.

Ever wondered what us co-writers get up to while we’re working on a post? Well, here’s a recent discussion of ours! (This is between me, thewritersdream and RedBird. Enjoy!)

So, to start with, Writers and I were waiting on a certain someone to join us:

Spoiler
ScarlettFire: Soooo. How’re we gonna do this? -Scarli here. Also, where’s Red? Feel free to link him to this. Okay. I’ll just bounce about here and lurk and whatnot. XD Haha, thanks~ While you’re waiting, claim a space in between those line breaks down there. Like that~ XD Why’s that? Ahh, I see. Oh, dear.... Oh, man. Annoying. Well, he’ll be back eventually and will probably get the PM on the chatbar. *lurks again* Kay, that works. While I wait, I’ll just go find that thing I was writing and continued it, shall I? XD chatbar pm when he gets here. It should grab my attention~ Yo, Red. Claim a space and stuff. XD That’s okay, one of you guys should start a post and I’ll lurk to give you tips on Ash. I can’t post again til after one of you do. And talking is an awesome idea.

thewritersdream:Not too sure... XP --Dream in the orange. Alright I’ll send him a PM. Nevermind he’s on chat. XD he should be here in a moment Oooh. Purple looks good on you. Looks like Imma gonna have to PM him anyways. hmph. XP He didn’t respond and then went offline. I’m guessing he wasn’t online at all. XP It happens like that on my computer, people come online for like a second and then it tells me they’re really there. -.- *lurks as well* I send him a PM also though. XP Finally!!! XD HI friend!

And then finally;

RedBird: I is here! Unfortunately, my padres have press-ganged me into working on rebuilding a fence, so I can’t stay too terribly long, but we can talk about what should go down.


Haha, so everyone was there finally. We moved down the gdoc a little bit. And yeah, let's the plotting and amusement begin!

Spoiler
ScarlettFire: So, what’s going to happen? I figure that last line in my Ash post is probably Daniel? Yup, you can do that. Once at the shop, though, then what? Hmmm. Yeah, she is and she’s pretty much going to blast them with kinetic energy built up by the emotions and thoughts. So, expect to be knocked off your feet in a few minutes post-wise XD Ash’ll probably be in pain, too. I don’t think the emotions sparked by Daniel in Joan and Jimmy will help. At all. I also imagined Joan is stuck in her head? (Hence the little bit about “help” in my last post.) Nice, I bet that’ll be painful (which means Ash will pick up on it.) After the kinetic blast, she’ll probably pass out or very nearly do so. Probably not... Very unlikely.I was thinking the same, Writers. She could grab Ash while Jimmy grabs Joan? (Be warned, Ash’ll hear everything in her head!) That sounds like a plan~ Also, I need to check this, but I’m pretty sure Ash can project her thoughts into the other’s heads. She could, indeed, give them little snippets of planning for an escape? I’m pretty sure Layla would freak out with a stranger’s voice in her head, though. XD Not sure about Jimmy. Red, that could happen just before Ash freaks out or just after, when Daniel is most likely stunned from the kinetic blast? Writers, nice idea there about Layla joining Bal and company. lol Writers. Red, awesome, that works well. I like the sound of this. Ash will probably give them directions to Bal’s warehouse and then pass out. And later, she might be able to help Joan free of Daniel’s mind-control? Telepathy is useful~ (I imagine after Ash is captured, her telepathy is somehow mutated a bit so she can take a stroll through people’s heads? That’d be interesting...) This also gives us the perfect opportunity to put into play the capturing-mutants part of the plot. As Daniel will know where Joan is and tell Bishop, who’ll organise a hunt ASAP. Ohh, nice idea, Red. Writers, yesss. Also, pain is a big thing for Ash; it’ll make her little freak out worse, cause Empathy. Like how she was concentrating on the jacket? It’s an interesting idea, and maybe after a lot of training, she could do it without concentrating so hard? Red, that’s not a bad idea. It could work; we’ll have to experiment with that when Daniel isn’t trying to kill/injure/whatever them. XD Writers, good idea! (I have plans on the mutants to end up with the MA eventually, but, of course, we’ve got to put ‘em through hell first XD) Red, with who? *wonders* Ohhhh, I see. That could be interesting~ Haha, interesting indeed. I can’t wait for this. I just wish Shads would reappear. She’s been MIA for, like, a week or something now... Now, who’s posting first out of us three? I’ll probably go last/second last... I’m not sure yet. It depends on how the scene plays out when you two are writing. Red; that would work. So, you going to start now or later? (It’s 2am, I should be in bed XD) That’s okay. Let me know when you want to continue the scene and I’ll try to sort things out, like get my lazy butt off of novel-writing and pay attention to my SBs XD (Do we, Writers? Is it 2am for Red, too? o.O) Ah, okay. I should be back by, like, 12am your time, Red XD Awesome. *bounces in place* In the meantime, I’ma look at my novel thing again and frown angrily at my stubborn characters. XD Tsk, these two. So, so annoyingly stubborn. x.x lol Writers, it’s great fun, isn’t it? Torturing your characters~ >.> *snickers* Oh, Red. That sounds like so much fun~ I am trying to work through a bit of an awkward, touchy-feely scene with a pretty serious topic of conversation without making either one of my characters do something stupid. Like one kissing the other, cause he’s a god and that’s a huge no-no. Also, I’m trying to drag the information the other one needs out of god-one but it’s kind of difficult. UGH stubborn. Also, Daniel is kind of funny... Is it bad that I think that? lol Red, ahahaha. Awkward indeed. That’ll be amusing to read, I’ll bet. lol Writers, doughnuts. Mmmmh, sounds like a plan! OMG ahahaha, Joan wants doughnuts~ XD (P.S. I might copy/paste this into the DT at some stage with a tagline “Ever wondered what us co-writers get up to while we’re working on a post? Well, here’s a recent discussion of ours!” XD) Okay, Red! Later! And I’ll do the posting thing when we’re done with these three/four posts. ^^ I know. Red’s awesome like that~ Okay! Goodnight, Writers~ Go get that review done! <3 Red; totally can. ^^ It’s quite amusing, no? It’s probably around sunset here, so it being a little hot works. Ash’s post is a little later, time-wise. Hmm. I was thinking maybe she looks between them and then goes, very quietly, to Jimmy, “Jimmy?” And of course, Daniel might snap something not so nice at that. Maybe. I was going to suggest that first, but I thought it might’ve been a little obvious, then again, she’d have no idea about what happened between them... So you think it works? As long as it’s name, to make a point of who she’s talking to, then again, she could leave it out and Daniel replies instead of Jimmy? I would not be surprised, but leaving is a bit hard when someone’s blocking the exit~ Mmh, good point. Of course, once Ash is in there, she’ll be all “What’s going on here?” XD Cause she does stupid things like that. Haha, exactly~ Mmh, the one that makes Ash freak out and throw the overloaded “energy” (so to speak) of the built up emotions and thoughts at them. Mostly Daniel, but everyone will fall over. It’s probably gonna be kinda weak, just enough to known them off their feet. We don’t want half of Jimmy’s shop flattened XD Hahaha *falls off her chair* I just thought of Jimmy’s reaction to Ash telling him she didn’t want to flatten his shop XD *giggles* Oh, dear. That just ruins everyone’s plans, doesn’t it? Daniel’s probably going to end up knocked out while the others will end up back at Bal’s. Jos is going to be soooo mad. XD Mmh, indeed. I’ll bet a lot of people will be banging their heads against the wall in frustration~ Jos certainly will be. (“Oh my GOD, Ash! Don’t do that again! I thought you’d done something stupid!” “But Jos, I did do something stupid.”) XD Laying low is good. ^^ Hey, we’re all here! Awesome~ Aww. Okay. I’ll be around~ “There was nothing more obvious than a man in a suit beating up on someone.” So freaking true XD Daniel’s got a point on this one. Heh. Huh, sensible. In a way, yes. XD Totally nuts, though. Totally. >.> Yeah, that works. Slips in quietly, ‘cept for the bell over the door, and speaks. Like in my last post. ^^ Slightly baggy jumper, short skirt, Red. That’s what Ash would be wearing right now. Oh, and sneakers. Haha, it’d be creepy, but so totally something he’d think, right? XD So yeah, go for it. Totally works. ^^ Let’s see how you go. I can always edit it to make it suit her if you mess up! And she’ll probably be pretty snappish--emotion/thought buildup makes Ash a grumpy gal. Also, she’s a bit of a drug addict, even though Jos tries to keep her off them. So she’s probably a little on edge with withdrawal right now. Haha, that’s actually pretty Ash-like. ^^ haha, this is fun. Now we just need Writers to pop in and it’ll be great. ^^ Awesome, that’s good. *bounces* Writers, heyyyy! Take your time. We’ll be here, lurking and whatnot. ^^ Haha, awesome~ Yeah, but first. Jimmy and Daniel need to have a little punch-throwing, yes? This should happen kinda fast, y’know? I’m not sure how yet. I guess we’ll get to see how in a minute. Haha, Ash’ll be wide-eyed at that display of Jimmy’s. Tsk, tsk~ XD Juuuuust a little bit >.> XD Hehe, it is good so far, isn’t it, Writers? XD Mmh, yes. So about now with the blast? Hang on; a bit like a soundwave, but made of kinetic energy, like a blast of reaaally strong wind, y’know? It’s like a wall of “force” would hit you, like walking into an invisible wall XD Except the wall is moving and you aren’t. >.> She’ll likely raise a hand, eyes narrowed and yeah it’ll just wham into them. It’ll probably feel like a breeze at first and then they’ll get a hit a solid “wall” of nothing. *nods* So expect papers and things to start flying about. XD Oh yeah, Ash would totally be feeling this, and she can probably sort of feel/glimpse the link between the two? Know that Daniel’s controlling Joan.... y’know? Mmh, yup. You’re doing good so far. ^^ lol Writers! We’re entertaining, aren’t we? XD Daniel totally needs to be like “She’s a mutant too?” right now XD After this, Ash’ll be like “I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” To Jimmy and Layla for knocking them over, and then she’ll shove the warehouse’s location, Bal and the password into their heads. XD And, of course, promptly pass out. Ash’ll probably be groaning by now and leaning against the door, most likely starting to slide down it. Totally works! I like how you did Ash using her power. I would have done something much like that! Awesome. ^^ Posting it works. Yup. Awesome. So, Layla post next? Nah. Layla works for me. Red, that’ll work. And if I can grab Maleficent, we can slip in a Jos/Wren post, too. Awesome.I’m going to copy/paste this in a spoiler in the DT for the curious XD

thewritersdream: RedBird, I think you could use this spot to post for DanXP :) Yeah..*nods*XDD Ooohhh. I’m liking this. And then what happens? How do they all escape? I think that Layla would be willing to help out though! What if Layla helped to bring Ash? Yeah, I think that’s a great idea! XD I’ll keep that in mind. Maybe that could help her have more a connection with the rest of them/be included in the group considering she wants to run away. Haha. XD She’d be so scared. :) Ooh strong Jims. XP XD It’s gonna be awesome! Cool. Meanwhile, Layla will be learning to control/activate her power and may be of some help. XD Hmm...do you think if she could clear her mind she would have an easier time. Because, the only way Layla activates her power, is by having zero thoughts in her mind except for what she’s concentrating on, like nothing else exists.A Yeah. During that moment, she wasn’t thinking about anything else at the moment. Actually I’m thinking she learns how to find that clear mind easier, and how to cloud her mind and so maybe she could help Ash a bit in the future. And yeah, Ash could help Layla as well! XD That Layla and Jimmy get together. XD haha, yeahhh. They’re a little awkward now, but it could work. ;) XP Neither does Layla really for some reason. I’m pretty sure she’s had a boyfriend though, so maybe she likes him first and get’s things along. ;) haha. (And Red, you should know we have the same exact time XD) Alrighty. XD I miss having a novel to have characters to be annoyed with. XP well, I partially miss it. haha XD lol. Stoppp. You guys make me miss writing novels and stuff. haha. I’m sure it is actually fun though. ;) Is it weird that I think Daniel is funny? XP haha, when he said “As if.” it was so funny. It seems you guys need some help. ;) I’m freeee! haha, just kidding, I have no idea how to help you guys. But hey, I could always try. It does sound amusing Red, and interesting. lol doughnuts are like the official food of the SB. XD I know, that’s why it so awesome. XD lol. Cya later! :) He’s such a good writer. XP :) I think I’m going to try to do one last review and then I’m off to bed. XP Thanks <3 Yeah I would think so, possibly by then the emotions are even more raging. XP Layla is just super confused now I would think, she has no idea what’s going on. She may even be a little bit uncomfortable being in it because she guesses it’s about family with the whole “cuz” thing and yeah. I think so. Hmm. I was thinking something close to that, like maybe she says, “What’s going on here, Jimmy?” or something like that. I haven’t decided whether she’d call him Jimmy yet or not because well, it’s a bit personal and they just met. haha, but maybe, also because maybe she’d just call him Jonathan, or something. But Jimmy’s probably best. *scrutinizes the smallest things* Um, yeah, I might just write how she responds. Maybe she doesn’t say anything at all. Maybe she just looks at him. But I think actually that in that situation, like anyone else, Layla might want to just leave. She may be too uncomfortable to stay, but then...I dunno. Exactly. But then I think that she’ll suggest to leave but then they’ll ignore her. And she’ll just kind of try to sink to the background while making small eye contact with Joan, just because she may be curious at Joan’s blank eyes. XD Yeah. Then by then things would have gotten heated up and the explosion! XP The emotional explosion? XDD no. I’m a bit stuck trying to think it all out. XP Also though I realized she has nowhere to go. haha, she was planning on going to his place for the night because she’s planning to run away. haha, well, I’ll think of something. The way I see Layla she’s not really going to say much in such a situation, she’s going to be thinking and looking. hahaha XD. I can’t wait the whole group kind of get together. It’ll be so interesting. haha XD I think at this point Layla’s just going to want to lay low. I’m reading up and catching up, could I have like a few minutes? XP It looks great!! Awesome. And you got Layla’s response right. Also I love the introduction of Ash, fantastic! XD I wasn’t sure what to say, but that’s probably what she would have said, she wouldn’t actually want to be there, so yeah, it was perfect. So what’s up now? Alright everything sounds good. Yes! Cool. haha, I’m just here scrolling between you two, the suspense! No, that’s good. She wanted to be ignored she doesn’t really do well in those type of situations, she’s not really the confronting type she’s more of the, be there type. XP Sure, I don’t mind. Unless you want Ash to? Alright then. Alrighty. :) XD

RedBird: Okay and Huzzah! Yeah, it would be Daniel, but before that line, Dan needs to catch up, so I’ll probably start the post with him getting Joan and then driving to the shop. Well, emotions are running pretty high, so Ash is probably having a hard time of it, right? And Layla just got activated so she’s still a bit freaked out. Also, since Joan is there Jimmy probably won’t use the electrokinesis because he doesn’t want to lose control. Ah, knocked off their feet. Got it. Both Joan and Jimmy are freaked by this point, cause Jimmy thought Dan and Joan were both dead, and Joan seeing Jimmy has jogged her memories, so she’s fighting back against Daniel more. For Joan, it’s mostly like living in a dream. Do you think that, all things considered, Jimmy would be able to grab Joan as well as dragging Ash and Layla out? Yeah, that could work! I have a plan that Dan can still control Joan, so a few days/posts down the road he’ll use her to find their location and start attacking them, wherever they are (with Balthazar?) Okay, that would facilitate escaping maybe...I figure Jimmy will attack Daniel, who will start hitting him and whatnot, which of course only gives Jimmy more energy to work with and so he can temporarily knock Dan out. Yeah, Scar, I think before would work, the Ash has the freak-out, and Dan is stunned and then finally knocked out by another punch from Jimmy...XD Yeah! I’m liking this...the team is starting to come together :) That would definitely put a new twist on her powers. So I’m thinking that, at first, anyway, Joan starts out without any special powers, except maybe a direct link into Dan’s mind, simply because he controlled her for so long. Layla’s powers will definitely be useful when the rescue mission comes around XD So maybe Ash helps both Joan and Layla clear their minds or something? Also, Writers and I were thinking that Layla start becoming romantically entangled along the way, with Jimmy. Yeah, Jimmy has absolutely no idea what to do in a relationship XD Writers, that’s probably best, yes :) Because Jimmy would just freeze up and not talk to her haha. I’ll try to get the first part of Daniel’s post up here today, and depending on when everyone is awake/available, you can tell me what to tweak/change/get rid of entirely? I’ll start a bit now, but I do have to go soon, so we probably won’t get very far...No, it’s 12:15pm :P Mkay, sounds good :) Isn’t it just though? The novel I’m writing is a co-authorship thingy and the two main characters piss the ever living hell out of each other. Oh, it is, it is. Well...only a little bit? XD I mean, he’s a bit crazy, so in that respect...Scar, we haven’t gotten to it yet, but one of our mains is going to meet up/start a new relationship with her old lover again, and it is going to be the most awkward thing I have ever written. Ever. Writers, glad you liked that, I wasn’t sure if it would work haha. Haha I didn’t even think of that! haha, YES! Do it. Also, I need to go :/ Talk to y’all later! Can we, like, keep a record of all of the discussion that goes on before the post actually happens, because I feel that that’s almost a story in and of itself :P I’ll be right back. :P Right? He might be off his rocker, but at least he’s sensible. Haha, yeah, basically. I figure this is where Ash should come in...? Would it be creepy if Daniel was like, “Yeah, this girl is hot. Maybe later.”? Because, I mean, he is a bad person, and it’s something he’d do...So, that works? Do you want to do Ash’s dialogue, or am I trusted enough to continue it? :P M’kay, sounds good. Good! I thought it might be :) Yeah! I just messaged her...hopefully she’ll be on soon. Hi Writers! But of course! Good, I didn’t know if that would work, but I’m glad it did! I figure we’re almost to the Ash freak-out, yeah? Jimmy’s going to try and get Layla and Ash out of the way first, but when that doesn’t work, Ash releases the energy, I think...Ah, yes. Yes, indeed. I’ll get that done, then. Haha yeah...he needs more control, doesn’t he. We decided that Ash would release the energy first, and then Jimmy would punch him, right? Yeah, I believe so. What is Ash’s energy release going to look like, exactly? Okay. So will she just open her hand, and then the blast happens? Okay, here goes. I just thought of that last bit on the fly, but I figured that, out of all of them, Joan was in the most mental pain, and so Ash would feel her the most...Yeah, I bet. Okay!I figured that Dan was so phased by the blast, that he only vaguely saw/heard what the others were doing, except for Jimmy. Does this work as an ending? Yay! Shall I post this, then? Writers, you good with everything? I’m sorry that there’s not more Layla...Daniel’s kind of single minded, and since she wasn’t getting in the way much, he kind of ignored her...Okay, sounds good! I’ll get this up, then! So who’s doing the next post? Layla next works for me! Then Ash, then Jimmy? Okay, I should be off to work, then! Feel free to start on the next post if you want! Aww yeah! Haha :)


Sorry about the huge blocks of text. It kind of loses the humour if I spread it out. <3

So. Yeah. That's what we talk about while lurking in a gdoc and working on posts. >.>

Don't judge us. >.>

@Shadowlight is definitely MIA right now. Shads, where are you?!

Also, @maleficent I'm waiting on a Wren post in reply to Jos's.

And just because I can. I know you guys are good, @RedBird @thewritersdream and @AriaAdams but @TheGoonerGirl @Dante ? What's up?

True, Red. She's around. I've seen her online.

On another note... Five will be appearing soon. He's about to become a whole lot of trouble. @RedBird I was thinking Daniel gets saddled with him? Along with Five's possible "handler"? I'm undecided. It might be more fun without a handler. >.>

I wondered why we put villains in our stories when we have plenty of them in real life; then I realized that maybe we wanted stories where the good guy wins.
