Who's up for some collaborative fan-fiction?
Here's my fun new idea: You sign up, I stick your name in a hat, first one out gets to start a story, then we continue it (order determined by hat pulls) and eventually we'll end up with a great story!
I've worked out some ground rules, but I'll get into that later because I'm just testing the waters at the moment. So who's up for it?

I'll signup for it. It's sounds cool!
Are there any rules/guidelines that we have to follow? Stuff/topics that we can and can't write about?

yeah, I'm intrigued. What would the story be rated? As in, could we use profanity?

I love writing, and I haven't had much chance to do any creative writing or fan fiction lately. I'm thinking the intention here is just to have fun and not worry about the end product too much since having different people write different sections of the story would have a very uneven result.
But I'm interested, so count me in!
Is there going to be some predefined plot that we follow with predetermined characters, or are we going to just wing the whole thing?

I don't have a scanner nor am I much of a drawler. I'd love to sign up and be in a NinDB collab. *Signs up*

You have my curiosity piqued but I don't know if I'd be able to devote the time to it with the upcoming holiday season being CUH-RAZY TIME!!! where I work. I'd like to hear what you have in mind before I commit...can I be put down as a 'maybe?'

People are interested! Woo! OK, so rules and regs: - The story subject can be decided by the first guy (to make up for having to do what I consider the most difficult bit - the start). Umm, make it a Mario story. Just because.
- Each person has to write at least one paragraph, but no more than three or four parapraphs max (unless your muse tells you to go over by a few lines!) it's not supposed to be an essay!
- You can have two or three goes if you like, I'll just stick your name into the hat twice, and make sure to do a redraw if you get two in a row. You can also ask for another go (or new guys can join in) in the middle of it all, if you get inspired by other people's efforts.
- Vague deadlines for all! About a week per segment, but if you go over, I'll just constantly pester you until you've finished. Outside circumstances are fully understood and accepted.
- I'll call an end after everyone has had at least one go, and an extra hat-draw guy will have the difficult task of writing an ending, but to make up for it that bit can be as long or short as you like.
I've tried to make it as laid back as possible, without lots of rules in the way, but feel free to shout me down on anything or suggest more rules. If all goes well, we'll begin proceedings on my next day off work, Tuesday. I love organising!!!

OK, so including me, that's nine people joining in! Oh, here's some stuff I forgot: - Profanity - Please keep to a minimum, but I'll allow some mild stuff (think of it as a "12" certificate). Remember there are a few youngsters on this board!
- Same goes with sexiness and violence - I'll allow mild stuff. Along the lines of one of the milder James Bond movies.
- SPELL CHECK!!! Please! Its very simple! There's a button quite close to "Post Reply" in this forum, please don't hesitate to use it!

I'm feeling lazy, so I probably won't join in. But I can be on subediting duties should anyone require my services!
