Author's Thread

This is the all new author's thread! If you are author for The Utimate CB project, this is the place fir you to converse with other authors about the story. I will bring news every now and then about intranet descisions the group has made and when to start a new chapter. If you're new and have no idea what I'm talking about, please visit the thread starting with The Ultimate CB... on Inkwell.

Hi, all! I am an author, but I don't know who the others are. Once we establish this, it would be prudent to decide who we will split the writing tasks.

Yes it would. I was thinking maybe we could alternate by chapter or page, probably chapter. Let me know if you have any other thoughts!

Yes, splitting by chapter makes sense. I do have a few questions about the writing, though. When will we start? What will need to happen before then (i.e, do the world-builders have to complete their duties or something)? How will we keep a consistent style/narrative throughout the book?

Yes, the world builders and charrie creators need to world build and charrie create, and then we will hopefully have enough of our world and charries that we can start writing. I'm not completely sure if we'll be able to keep a consistent writing style or not; since this is Collaborative, I think that's one of the joys of reading it, is all the different and wonderful ways of writing combined into one! I'd also like to wait to start until all the authors are present, but if this takes longer than a week, then we will start and put those writers at the end of the line. If they don't show up on their turn, then we'll get a backup author.

Elementgirl, reporting for duty! I'm an author, and I'm not going to forget this again.

Check the thread The Ultimate CB... on Inkwell. It will explain. As for the charries, we are still waiting on the Charrie Creators.

Riddler and I are the charrie creators for this. Can you give us a bit of background on what is needed for the main protagonist/antagonist?

Sure! Actually, I already did a bit of that on the main thread in Inkwell. Visit the thread on BaB titled Charrie Creatir's Thread and we can discuss more there!
