hey, everyone. i just posted the last chapter in the first act of SiaS. when i finish posting all the stories, i'd like to start a thread or two for everyone to participate in short story writing. what would you guys be interested in doing?
if you want, i can establish the world and core characters for everyone to play around with. what sort of world and characters would you be interested in?
recently, ive been thinking about writing short stories to add to the legend of the laughing man (from the short story by jd salinger. read it here:
http://www.freeweb.hu/tchl/salinger/laughingman.htmlyou might have heard the name before if you watch ghost in the shell where there is a villain named after him. if we went with this character it would be sort of a tall tale, with a larger-than-life robin hood-like mysterious central character in what is basically the simplified real world. the laughing man and his strange crew would have misadventures as they pull off their ingenius criminal escapadees, all the while staying out of the clutches of chinese bandits, tibetan pirates, and an obsessive french detective and his crossdressing daughter.
if you all don't like that idea, we can make our own world and partying heroes (or anti-heroes). all ideas welcome!
once those of us who are interested in this decide what we're going to do, i wouldnt mind be the editor. just send your short stories into me and i'll do all the spelling and grammar corrections so that everything looks nice and semi-professional. icon_smile.gif
