Welcome to Gaia! ::

So, this may sound strange but I actually have a fairly decent idea.
Well, seeing as how most of us (if not all of us) are writers, we should do something as a Guild. It hit me. Our Guild should release a compilation (whether we market it or hand it out is a group decision) of the various works, styles, and masterpieces of our Guild. If we can find a way to communicate among the Guild with ease, this can be obtainable. If we are able to do this, then our Guild will be put on the map. People can sign their individual works as well, but it will be put into one book/document. And if we don't set a deadline, the work can be a lot more smoothe and fluid for everyone. Now I don't know if this violates any rules, but I think it will be a fun experiment that can bring the Guild closer together, and make something beautiful in the process. I would really like feedback and ideas on this concept, it will only work if we all work as a whole.

Sincerely, Antonio

*shrugs* It more so depends how much people are open with sharing their work on a larger scale. Creating a off-site web would be fun for this too.

This is all nice, but at the core of it before we can have a website or anything like that, we need the ability to communicate with each other in real time as often as possible. And yes, I suppose we should "advertise" our work but I was thinking more along the lines of just distributing it among the masses, both on Gaia and off Gaia.
Sure, a website would be cool. An example of that could be this, which is my own creation (http://thepoeticspew.blogspot.com/) or some other easy to use and access website/blog builder. I think what we should do before we think about getting so far ahead of ourselves is to see if we can work on something easier to put together and distribute, such as a solid PDF or similar widely-used format to just show what we can do. If we are successful at this endeavor we can branch out into something bigger such as one of those pages.
I like the idea of a Writer's Guild in sync with one another as well. Maybe this compilation could be released parallel to the Guild Story that I've been hearing so much about, the story being for writers interested in longer tales and the compilation accommodating to those (similar to myself) work almost exclusively with poems and things more on the prose-side of the tracks.

First and foremost, we need to find some way to get all those that are interested in working on the project to be able to communicate in real-time, such as some sort of group messaging service. Does anyone have any ideas? Personally I have faith in Google Drive and some other smaller service such as Facebook being used side by side. I have had great luck with that in the past, and am actually using that for a completely unrelated project. I'm really open to ideas.
Remember, the closer we get, the more we are willing to share as well. If we are able to put together a core group of writers, and really get to know each other, sharing work will not become an issue.

I like your idea. Maybe we could do something sort of like the manga comics, just with writing. Is there anyway we could do something like that? I know it's right on the front page of the site and I'm always getting updates about them. I know I've been MIA from the site for a while, but I've been really busy and have made a goal to check more often...maybe as often as i check my facebook haha xd
