Just like Chimaera said, most of the time action sucks. It's more for movies and comics etc. Hard to do. I guess I'll join.

If you read the first post right, you don't need to write action. You don't have to die, and you don't have to kill anyone. As long as your chapter can be continued by somebody else so each chapter doesn't seem like a short story. Also, if your joining, put in the information you need.

Quote from SoulEaterGood point, but backstories help you understand the character much better. I'll get rid of you having to die, but backstories should stay.
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?
Me, now stop bawwwwwing

Sorry if I didn't really put too much though into the back story, kind of rushed. I don't know what chapter or gang to choose. Do I just make up a gang? And can you assign me a chapter, I can't think of a number.

Okay, you'll join Alexeh's gang, and I will choose a chapter for you. I hope you finish, because it will be hard to replace people in a collab like this.
Edit: Nah, if you don't finish, I'll finish the chapter for you.

This sounds a lot of fun. I might be able to, but I'm writing a story for Social Studies right now, but I might be able to right a little.
I enjoy writing. I suppose I'll join.

Great, I'll try my best to fit it in, okay? But this ****ing gay story that I have to write is... gay... LOL.

Quick question. So basicly it's a story told in first person by our character the whole time?

No, it's a chapter told in first person by your character through out your designated chapter.

Quote from RazrBladeNo, it's a chapter told in first person by your character through out your designated chapter.
Yeah, I meant the whole time as in the whole chapter we have written. And thanks.

Yeah. You can't switch to another gang member. It's just you. I think. LOL.
Jan 24, 2008 5:31 AM #79472
Yeah. In your chapter you have to write the veiw of your character alone, for example, Near the "Chapter _" Have the name of your character.
Jan 24, 2008 5:32 AM #79473
Will there be any set due date or anything? Just curious. I can probably finish in about a week in my spare time.
Jan 24, 2008 5:34 AM #79474
Nah, people shouldn't rush in writing. I want to reach over 150 pages in the story though. So if you want, people, make chapters longer then 8 pages =3.
Also, try to end the chapters in a way that the next character can go on.
Edit: Im starting the book, wow.
