Young Writers Society

I'm not shey, but maybe Rachel and Clyde could hang out? I'm also down for whoever wants to steal Noah or just reference him in their post but let me know if any collabing needs to happen with me!

Hey everyone! We were talking a bit in the Discord chat and slowing down the pace and taking our time with the wake posts.

I'm not sure what this looks like but I'm down to collaborate with whoever may want to write with Rachel. She's not going to be in the best of moods today, but I was thinking later the others could uncover who her grandfather is.

The idea we came up with is having the group do a movie night and someone picks a documentary about Eagle Rock and Jay that Rachel is present in.

What does everyone think? How would you want to go about this?

@magebird @sheyren @Zenith Just for clarity so everyone's on the same page - the only real change is that instead of 2-3 wake posts per wake cycle, I'm going to open it up to everyone to post. AKA Everyone will post at least once each wake cycle.

Collaboration is still highly encouraged because of how closely all of our characters are living together. They're in a shared space, closed off from the world for two weeks and will only have each other. They're going to interact whether they like it or not lol.

Also @Elinor! Hmm, I could see maybe Clyde picking a documentary like that. What do you think, @sheyren?

Just poking to check! @Zenith you still think you'd be down to collaborate at the write-in in a little under 24 hrs?

I'll be there. Whose perspective was this going to be from- Jess' or Tara's? Since we both have to post in this wake cycle.

We can do Tara! I can work on a different post for Jess’s!

Random but I finally drew a picture of Jess and hope to get to the rest of the dreamers crew eventually! I’m just slow at the moment ^^’’ I put the pic in her CP!

Hey @Sheyren did you want to collaborate on a post, or should we wait until it gets closer to evening? Figure the movie can also happen in the afternoon too?

We can collab and say the movie is happening in the afternoon. That seems reasonable.

@Sheyren ping me on Discord any time.

You got it.

Looks like wfp's back up! If anyone wants to use the collab pad, it's here for the taking: https://soundofmind.writerfeedpad.com/61

Thanks, @soundofmind!

(Also, thanks for the challenge. )

I know the plan is to have Clyde and Rachel start watching the movie in the next post, but @Elinor would you be down for writing another post after that so we can get Noah and Rachel's reactions? I'm definitely okay with writing a post on my own and trying to figure out how other characters would react - since I haven't been able to collaborate on a posts a lot in my own storybooks lately, so I'm used to guessing and then checking later with the character's writer - but I thought I'd ask if you were down for that first!

Even though I don't really like planning out my stories, I'm a pretty big planner outside of my writing - so it would be great to figure out what I'm going to be doing when I post next.

@Magebird That sounds great! I'm pretty flexible, so just ping me whenever you're free to collaborate.

Sorry for the double post, but I just had another thought.

What if, instead of a documentary, it's a fictional movie? That would be a fun meta thing for me especially since I get asked about every other day if Eagle Rock is a true story - I think it could have been something that got a lot of accolades and the others will really enjoy, but is historically inaccurate.

Then Rachel could keep her secret until the end, and being who she is, she says too much and someone else could be like "how do you know so much about this?" I also like the idea of her raining on everyone else's parade if they all enjoy it as she can get her own head quite a bit especially when it comes to things like her family.

If we do that though we're making up a fictional director for it haha.
