collaborative writing
« Topic Start: May 20, 2012, 06:10:21 PM »
Hey yall,

I've found to my dismay that while I'm a good writer (so I'm told, and I'd like to believe that!) and I have a lot of ideas, I find it difficult to write stories and particularly longer novel-y works. And I find it comparatively easy to write scenes involving my characters here in BM. I think the reason for this is two; one, with no ultimate goal or pressure (say of publication, or of world-building and all that) I can sit down and type it out much more easily, and two, with others involved, the creative juices flow and seem to hold more water.

I still want to write a book though, so I'm inviting you to collaborate with me in a quasi-RP-like manner. Each of us takes at least one character and writes from that characters POV (in third person limited) in a shared setting. We put them together and think up some aspects of that setting and see what happens.

Any takers?

This sounds like a game I used to play, mizahar. It was fun, but was too structured for me. This sounds much better, I would love to be a part of it. Also, I have the same trouble writing long stuff as well, so you aren't the only one who has that problem.

I'd be up for it when I have time again, sounds like my favorite part of BM.

I will make a forum for this little project and send interested persons a link within the next few days.

Well yes, but I'm specifically referring to non-BM related, not-strictly-roleplaying, fiction-writing type activity. ;)

Maybe set up a wiki?
