Hey guys. I wanted to try something a little different with this storybook. I dare call it an unofficial workshop. We'll writing together, and as this happens, we'll be meeting to talk about some general principles in storybooking, as well as conduct what you could say is a case-specific analysis of events. Call it a crash course, if you will. If you're new to storybooks, would like some general advice on how to develop more solid skills, or just would like to try something a bit different, this is probably the workshop for you.

This kicks off in a week. We'll be meeting in a pad on Sunday the the 14th, 6pm gmt, September until I fall asleep on the keyboard. Pop right in whenever. I plan for our adventure to be flexible. As a final note, commitment wise, this storybook will last more or less a month. A short adventure, though certainly action-packed.

What time zone is this?
Dreams sprout tall so beautiful
to wither and fall off
Old and dusty, creaky and rough
This clockwork will not rest

it should say so in bold, in the opening post! That actually used a fancy code-thingy to adjust itself to your timezone. At any rate, it's 6pm gmt.

I'll try and see if I'm busy :/ I hope I'm not! :) But I'm not necessarily new to SBs ;) So what would I get out of this?

steampunk but not sky, I'm thinking. Or not entirely, at least. Good to have your interest. ^^

So it is the Sunday of November that is closest to the 13th then? Or is it a different month? (The 13th is a Saturday this month)

I had originally planned it for sunday the 14th ^^" but you guys can show up on saturday too, the pad isn't going anywhere, nor are the characters. The time is still going to be the same either way.
