This is an idea which has hopefully never been done before. The one and only writers collaboration. The point in this collab is for each member that joins to write a chapter of a story. What the story is, and is about will be supplied below.

-The story is called Gang War, and there will be two teams/gangs fighting each other.

-These teams have been fighting for years, and the battle is finally coming to a close.

-Each chapter will consist of one gang member's side of the battle. In each chapter, you will write your gang member describing the experience of the gang fight, but you don't have to fight in it. Hell, you can do almost anything, as long as its realistic, fair, and on topic.

-When you begin your part, write a little bit in the Authors Notes.

The story type will be first person.

-You MUST have full grammar and punctuation in your writing.

-Your gang member will only be allowed one weapon.

-You must provide your gang member a detailed backstory.

-When you join, put in the following information:
Name:
Age:
Sex:
Physical description:
Backstory:
Chapter:
Gang:

-When you finish an entry, send a copy of the writing to me for proofreading and editing so I can fix up any mistakes you make, then I will send it to the person doing the next chapter.

-Whoever starts chapter one will be granted the privilege of naming the second gang, and being the leader of it. They may write more then one chapter, and they will survive till the last chapter where I will end the story.

-Chapters must be AT LEAST six pages long.

Font: Arial Black

Size: 12

Program: Microsoft Word

-There must be an equal number of gang members for the story.

-I will be in this too, but not as the first chapter. I will be writing the introduction, the prologue, and the last chapter.

Invites:
Big Bang
Kagedanji
.Alexeh

-If anyone else has writing skills, I invite you to come.

Eh, it's a great idea, but a group of teenagers writing action..

It's hard to write action, most of the time it sucks..

I know lots of people that can write action on spp, your right though. Taking the rpg threads Big Bang made, there is quite a few talented writers. Hell, people's parts could be anything. It could be drama, where the gang member kills him/herself, things that people can do still related to a story is huge.
I hope some talented writers join this.
Edit: 3000th post!

Yar missed out two things; Which chapter your going to be in, and which gang your going to be in. If you do chapter 1, you get to be leader of the second gang, name it, and get killed by me. :D
Also, you make up everything for the character. EX: My entry.

Age: 24
Sex: Male
Physical discription: Close shaved beard. Always wearing black shades and carries his pistol everywhere. Wears a black T-shirt and pants, and white professional running shoes.
Backstory: The leader of Indian-ation. Hawk was beaten as a kid, and put down by racists. After a lot of rebellion, Hawk created a group of people willing to kill anyone who ruined their life.
Chapter: Introductory, and last chapter.

Name: Shanto
Age: 17
Sex: Male
Physical description: Brown skin, messy black hair, always has his switch blade. White T-Shirt, with Jeans. Old, black, worn out, Basketball shoes.
Backstory: A member of the Indian-ation. Everyone loves his outgoingness. He is restless and has a bad temper. He will easily beat up anyone who has made fun of his religion or race. He is Muslim, and made fun of often. Shanto's parents were murdered when he was 3, and refused to go to a foster home. He would beat anyone up who made him. He rebels if something is unfair. He has above average grades, but gets in trouble for fooling around, and beating kids up. He lives with himself and 2 other friends.

Chapter 3.


Edit: Hah, I guess this guy has alot to do with me. Accept for the switchblade, and his parents, and his age, and his name, and the living, and I only beat SOME kids up, with good reason :P.

I won't because then I'd have to do the introduction. And it sucks, because if I mess it up...the whole book is ****ed up.

I really think you should do it.

I'm not giving a backstory. The point of reading is to discover it as you read. It's a much better story if you don't know any pointless "backstory". Good writing incorporates backstory into the character's normal thinking.

Also, why must the characters die? It makes it seem like a bunch of short stories, and it will be shit to read if each chapter follows the same linear progression.

I would join if it was just a freestyle writing collab, where the only rule is to continue the story by writing the next chapter.

Good point, but backstories help you understand the character much better. I'll get rid of you having to die, but backstories should stay.

Free style writing colab? i'll make one ;D or something like it.

Don't ****ing post something like that here. PM him if you want to tell him your making a shitty rip off of this.

Edit: I edited the rules a bit, you don't have to die, or kill somebody. You can do whatever you want as long as it's according to the rules.
Who the **** edited my post?

(Reply to edit) Who me?
