Allison and Kinaya are together in a fantasy short story.

------------------------------------------

Okay, Allison and Kinaya, these are the rules...

Follow all Cricket rules!

Please no fighting!

Please, don't one person write the whole story! Work it out between you if you're gonna write one section each, one person be the editor and add details, etc! But remember, this is a teamwork thing! No writer left behind! :D

Keep the story pg!

Please keep to your genre! :D

A short story means it's between 200-2000 words.

:) Thanks, guys!

back to the Inkwell

Hi, Kinaya! OK, let's get started. We're doing a fantasy short story. I think there are two things we need to decide at first:

1) what kind of fantasy is it. Is it set in a magical land with magical people? Magical people in a normal land? Magic animals? Normal people in magical land? Etc.

2) how we're going to write this thing. We could do alternating (sort of like Round Robin stories), two points of view (letters, diaries, or just switching between 2 characters in first person), or one writes a scene and the other edits it.

 

And let me know if you have any ideas! I have very sketchy ones at the moment, so I'm interested to hear yours.

Oh sorry! Just got on! Okay, so I think we should do this like a Round Robin story. And since its a short story and we can't put too much, I think we should do something like an action filled scene. What do you think?

I think that would be a good idea. Maybe start with some action, give a couple sentences of background info, and jump back into the scene. Whatever type of fantasy it is, I would like to include animals in some way, preferably mythical ones. Your thoughts?

Yes, I haven't seen Kinaya for at least four days now.....GloWorm? Should I wait or what? Brynne, if neither of our partners show up, we could do something together. What sort of story/poem were you and Zoe going to do?

Just so you know, my partner's disappeared too (Nitehawk).

Hi, please do not offer to be partners with anyone else. I will get to giving new partners. Please wait a day, if she isn't there by then, I will pair you with someone else.

I'm sorry, guys! I've been busy! Soccer practice and my parents depriving me of computer use...it's all too much for me!

Alison, do you want to start off with the story?
