Young Writers Society

On it.

Hey, guys!
@shinethroughthedark , @etherealember , your characters look amazing! Just a question though: Are they back at the basement with Isabel? Or are they just about to join?

I'm so happy that more people have joined! @Animal, can't wait to see your character!

@IamTraunt Thanks! I was like, "Ugh, I don't even know what I'm gonna write about this character, I'm so tired-" Then Kinwe just walked into my head and told me who she is hehe.

I would like her to be in the basement already and her back story of how she joined will be later revealed.

I'd also like to know what the mission is and my potential purpose to the mission. Or perhaps I will read the posts that have been put up already before I ask questions that may have already been answered

Hee hee. Well, I'm glad she did! She's awesome ^^

Yes, the posts tell you. Only three people are on that mission

Yeah, Dom's just gonna be at the house.

Finally up to date with all the WDTO posts! (check me out with my acronyms ) It's so awesome guys! Everyone's writing fits into the story, If I didn't know any better, I'd say it had one author...wow. The mood was captured perfectly by all of you.

Can't wait to throw my character in the mix! But first, I want to see Tenant's POV @Baesch. Your character fascinates me and I can see how it might take awhile for many of the Caths to smell a rat. I also see him potentially directing suspicion onto Kinwe in order to divert the trail away from himself. And if she happens to have warmed up to him up until that point, that could create very interesting tension...

I've read all the character sheets, and am brainstorming ways for Kinwe to interact with each of them, and I see some fascinating potential conflict. I like how we have contrast of female characters, like Bella whose heart is guarded and Kinwe who falls in and out of love too easily.

I would also like to see them have a Purist vs Spoiled debate and have some feelings get hurt there. Kinwe of course could pretend to be Purist all the way, and perhaps one of the others (Like Bella using her deciphering skills) suspects she's lying. Ahhh, ideas!!!

Please guys, share any other ideas, or add/subtract from mine. And correct me if I'm misrepresenting your characters in a different way from how you imagined them.

Note: I have edited and added to Kinwe's bio, since I wrote it in a bit of a hurry to make the deadline.

Really like the idea of purist and spoiled arguement.

Logistical question: who rooms with who? Looking at the basement layout, I see multiple beds in each room which makes for interesting dynamics. You never quite know someone until you know they snore and have to step over their socks every morning! So keeping in mind that this will affect how characters relate to each other, how do we decide who goes where?

Also needed to know for my first post, as I wanted to begin Kinwe's story when she wakes up and starts to try figure out what went on with everyone's activities last night

Okay everyone. It was brought to my attention that we should have some plans of how exactly everyone will relate and most importantly (what I've been wanting since day one) good plot progressions. It may seem fun to just spur of the moment write an SB post, but it's even funner knowing why you're writing an SB post and what you're writing it for. And in order for that to happen we need to plot.

I would just like to say that major plot changes in order to be fair to everyone in the SB cannot be decided by one person. So no one is allowed to make any major plot changes.

We can decide the plot as a group. (I will explain more on how this will work)

I feel like WFP or EtherPads are the best way to work on things as a collective.

I've been in past SBs when there have been days when we all get on one at the same time. I want to do that but I think now's not that great of a time. But hopefully soon we'll have a time set so we can all work on stuff together for fun and fluent progression in the story.

As of now we are solely focusing on relationships and minor plot (as in what has happened since the start of the SB and how to move on from there)

I'll put in some suggestions and everyone can discuss them, and I think it's best if we all try to agree with the plot that seems to make the most sense.

Major plot decisions I think should be reserved for DB (DiagonalBird) approval. Like what the next missions are, who's out to get us, what do we do, meetings etc.

x) I hope this SB can work and be fun and last long! Please stick with it, it'll be worth it, I love all our characters.

So here's the WFP or Etherpad that I think we can share for plotting and such: http://skydreamer.writerfeedpad.com/46

Well said, Sky! That's very helpful. I look forward to our team discussions.

Hi there guys, do you mind if I join?

Hey, @Omniclysm. I think this SB closed on Monday. But you'll have to confirm it with @Skydreamer or @DiagonalBluebird.
