Chatterbox: Inkwell
URGENT IDEA!!!!!!!
URGENT IDEA!!!!!!!
I just had an amazing idea- I’ve actually had it for a bit but I was kind of afraid that nobody would like it. But anyways, here is it.
What if I make something (with help, obviously) like Kyngdom? I understand if you don’t want me to becuase I’m so new, I just thought that it’s something I would enjoy doing with some help!
Now here’s a few problems, it would probably (unless the CB Team is interested in granting us a new category like Kyngdom does, although that could be tough) have to all be on Inkwell, but with a lot of pages like that we’d have to figure out how to keep it well organized, maybe make a table of contents, although then we’d have to rely on the Admins putting up with us asking for all of the edits, I’m not sure if they’d like that very much owo
Anyways, I’m probably thinking too far into this, I need to know if you guys and the Admins think it’s okay/it would be fun UwU I understand if you want somebody who’s been on the CB longer than me to do it.
What a great idea, Niteskiies! You are welcome to start a new
thread for your project. We think other CBers would be interested in joining
and helping to develop your idea as they have on other threads over the years.
There are discussions, art forums, and various contests on this site organized
and run entirely by our creative and enthusiastic Chatterboxers. --Admin

I could co-run it, if you'd like. I'm not very active during the day, but on weekends and at night I'm fairly active. (I do warn that I typically take one break per year, which can last up to two weeks. I don't plan on taking another break until January though so it probably won't be a big deal, since by that point we'll probably have already started.) I do have YWP, and I'm on the classroom. I check there more frequently than I do the chatterbox.
I don't really think there's much else to mention. It might be easier if there were two co-leaders. A team of three sounds like a reasonable amount of people to oversee such an ambitious project.

That sounds good! So if one other person here wants to help, (although moonshine's comment is still coming through; she might be volunteering) spot is open! Unless moonshine wants it.

sure! nice idea
(July 29, 2020 - 7:29 pm)
I could help! :D :D

I could help some! I'm not always the most dedicated RP-er, but I enjoy doing organize-y things, and I am on YWP. (Unless you already have enough people, in which case that's fine too!)

Looks like we have enough people. (Lumi, me, Kitten, and Raining Rainbows) I think a team of four would actually work better than a team of three. I have an idea on how we can do this--
So, each of us is assigned a thread to make. (Lumi, you can assign these, as the one in charge.) We can draft it out on a google docs or something, and PM it to Lumi on YWP. Lumi can offer feedback and stuff, and we can edit them to perfection. Then we can post them on the Inkwell.
Does this sound good? I don't mind which thread I work on, though the first RP or the charrie/intro would be fun.
(July 31, 2020 - 6:10 am)
Yeah, sure! I don't really feel comfortable sharing my email tho, so I'll just send whatever I do on YWP :D I can try to do the intro, unless one of you guys are good at dramatic writing, then I'm good with whatever :)
(July 31, 2020 - 11:22 am)
That sounds good! (Just to clarify though, we wouldn't be sending the
actual Google Docs to Lumi, right? I'm not really comfortable sharing my
Google account with you guys.)
I would be interested in starting the intro/who's here thread or the plot/discussion/lore thread.
We would also not be comfortable with you sharing your emails—copying and pasting from a Word or Google Doc would be better. --admin

Sorry, Sybill, for leaving out that last "L" I ran out of space...
Sybill's idea to each make a separate thread seems like a good one, only I'm not sure if we actually have enough threads. Since we also don't want to take over the Inkwell, I think that it's possible maps/art will have to go on the thread they relate to. If anyone disagrees with that let me know, please. This also shouldn't be, like other people pointed out, a replacement for Kyngdom. I think it might be a much lower scale project, with possibly only one or two RPs going at the same time.
So that leaves these threads:
• The first RP
• Intro/Charrie Sheet/Overview
• Plot discussion/Lore
And I think the Plot Discussion thread might be better to be posted after this starts, because who knows if it will actually ever catch on? Not to sound pessimistic, but this is an experiment, after all, and I don't want it to "replace" Kyngdom, if anything just maybe be a small RP.
One solution I thought of too this not-enough-threads problem is that there could be teams of two, each working on one thread through PMing on the CB Classroom, because all of us are on that. If that doesn't work for you, please let me know, here or on YWP.

PS. One more thing: why do you assume you're the smartest in the- just kidding. The actual one more thing is that if anyone (meaning Rainbows, Kitten, Sybill, anyone else who has an opinion) feels unsure about this for any reason, we can do a poll for "Would you rather have a lower scale Kyngdom-like project or just an RP?"
(July 31, 2020 - 11:04 am)
Sounds good! That leaves three threads.
It looks like three of us want to work on the intro/charrie thread, so maybe we could all work on that together, and then partner up on the other two?
Maybe it would be easier if we created our own YWP classroom for this? I can make a moderator account on there and make a classroom, so then we don't have to stick to PMing only one person at once, if you want.
Also, I didn't mean sharing emails, I just meant copy and pasting stuff. Apologies for the confusion.

Sure, that all sounds good!

I think I would like to help/join! I was intimidated by Kyngdom since it was very complex but I think this would be fun! I can be a co-co-host, maybe? Like I could help with co-hosting? and i think a NaNo classroom would be excellent!!!
(July 31, 2020 - 9:14 pm)
I believe the idea is that participants run it, so after the initial few threads are posted, everyone kind of runs it.
(July 31, 2020 - 10:12 pm)
Okay, that all sounds great! Instead of working on the intro/charrie thread, I can do one of the other threads, since there are a lot of people working on it :D
