Right, I'm posting my first story part within the next half an hour. It's the first time that I'm doing this so I say sorry beforehand in case I make mistakes!
Quick note before love, I think we should make it a point to actually discuss the main plot. Wait for the SB creator to lay the foundations some because I feel like we're just jumping into a bottomless black pit that could go anywhere. And also to read past people's posts first.
If words are just letters put together, why do we decide on what they mean?
Not as of yet. It's a little too early to know who my character will get on with and who she won't. It depends a lot on what they say to her and such ^^
And I definitely agree with Raiki. Generally speaking, a successful storybook should have everyone post once every day or every other day. Not every half hour. Cooling our jets and actually reading what everyone has to say will make this work out a lot better than simply acting on impulse.
Suppose for a moment that the heart has two heads, that the heart has been chained and dunked in a glass booth filled with river water. The heart is monologuing about hesitation and fulfillment while behind the red brocade the heart is drowning. - R.S
Also, if Princess sees this, I would just like to state for my character:
I'm not getting involved with anyone yet because I'm simply trying to fit the role given to me: a stubborn a-hole that doesn't take commands from the others. I know I made my character come off as a, "hot headed, fiery" person (we need to stop calling people fire Fundamentals by the way), but I was really trying to show it off as a, "Since I'm the oldest, I don't take commands from you guys," type of thing.
I think it's too early to forge strong friendships yet as... well... we just met each other. Personally, I think we should start over from the beginning of the conference because I think I did a poor patch job of trying to get all the ideas together (e.g starting introductions to get everyone's names rather than 'fire element' and 'earth element' as well as my lame attempt at trying to introduce my character to the others). I mean we can continue as if all that didn't happen, but I don't want to have to throw in pieces of writing as 'glue'

For example in my last bit in the actual thread I asked the old woman about our first mission. I don't think anyone but the thread creator (ReisePiecey) should tell us what the first mission is or at least tell us some general events the plot will go through in the beginning so that we can make the story go there and then add twists of our own once the plot has developed a little more.
Things are pretty alright right now. Everyone's calmed down and are giving there names which should kill some of the initial confusion. I don't expect Liam to make friends quite yet either, but for what its worth, we've started.
Simply speaking, people need to start reading the posts and that's about it. Not just the ones that concern them, but all of them, cause it when it comes down to it, all the posts will concern them eventually.
So instead of crying over spilled milk, we should push past this and keep going! ^_^

I agree with Dreamwalker its best to just wait for the SB leader to put us on the right track and then we can start forging the friendships between are characters.
Your story book idea is really interesting so I'm glad its the first one I'm taking part in!
