I would love to join in, but I just couldn't make heads or tails out of the Prelude thread until long after it was already going. For the first week or two, I was completely lost, and had no clue what was happening. So I was going to wait out the Prelude, and jump in when things got going for real.
I'm sorry, but I guess I'm not one of those people that just take a completely blank slate and write a brand new story out of it. I need *something* to play off of. I need some kind of background, story, mythos, or something. A map would be great. Something to kickstart it and get it going. The start of the Prelude thread just wasn't enough for me to get into it.
