Welcome to Gaia! ::

CREATIVE SUGGESTION!!!!!


Yo, wouldn't it be cool if at some point in your story, should you send whichever member out to do something, that, if that member chooses to do so, they write a sub story while the main story also goes on biggrin

Ex.

I (I being the boss) Needed more servants, but my time and patience was running short, so I sent 1337 to do my bidding...(sub story option)

THIS RESULTS TO (should he choose)
New Thread
>The Travels of 1337

Naturally, some subtle, or not so subtle hint, should be provided that we had the option to partake in the sub story, like the parenthesis above smile Naturally I would imagine that if you wanted him back within the next paragraph, you wouldn't really want to add it...

ex.

I (I being the boss) Needed more servants, but my time and patience was running short, so I sent 1337 to do my bidding... Just to find he got tired of it within the hour.

...I could never depend on 1337

so, no sub-story option involved.
Maybe a secret emote
heart

Of course, at some point the sub would have to stop so that the character could return to the main story. Being the author of the only active story on here at the moment, that would be up to you, I guess via pm.

This would make the forum much more active and it'd be a fun lil thing to do biggrin

should you wish




Just a suggestion pirate

I mentioned something like this in general discussion. Not sure I'd add a new thread for it. One of my ideas involves not neccessarily sub stories but after a chapter or so there would be a flashback to what another member was doing during the same time I was writing. This gives them a basic boundary as to what is involved of them in the main plot if anything.

For example:

I (Being Kazu) was making my routine security rounds when boss contacted me.
Come to my study would you?
I said, Okay and headed that direction. As I got closer to his place I noticed the blood trail leading to it and expected to see something that would probably ruin the day.

Or some such thing.

I don't want people running around all crazy and out of bounds with the main story.
Also consider, yes Kazu has to do the bits where I include her, but everything she says to 1337 in the infirmary, what she was doing before him and all her thoughts during the meeting are up to her. There is a lot of material there as well as any "flashbacks" they may happen to have.

Since the story is in first person I do not write what the other people think, only what they say and do in my presence. I probably will send people off to do things and they are fully capable of writing their own bit before they return or, possibly, not.

When it comes to exposition of plot, I'll probably handle enough of that myself so they are capable of adding fun and supplementary info.

Probably.

But I agree with Boss. Some people, mainly me, would go off doing somewhat of an epic battle just to get info from an admin. it could get really rediculos.

Also if I did it I would do it in word first so I wouldnt have so many typos.
Also I wouldnt really go on an epic battle for such and such. I just used myself as an example.

before the meeting then?

Hmmm. will do

Yay. The book has been turned into a cooler looking format. VV007.

Come now Boss. It's Been a month for the story update. You got any good ideas yet?
