Hey guys I'm everyone, I think we should write a fanstay book. Let brainstorm!

I'm game but first we need characters and setting. Got any ideas anyone?

I think writing a book together is incredibly hard;

Everyone has their own flair, their own style and typing mannerisms and idioms - to have a group of people writing something would cause all those to mesh and it would create a broken reading experience. Unless you had many people contribute ideas, one person do the actual writing, with the others putting in ideas, dialoge etc. etc. 

It's been done before, absolutely beautifully - by Paul Jennings and Morris Gleitzman when they wrote 'Wicked' (not the play about Oz, the book about weird happenings and a group of kids)


But yes, totally doable!

Hahahah.....



anyway I think the first thing you'd want to discuss is what narrative it would take, first or third;
then the setting; characters - their bio/ etc etc.



I use a program called Snowflake Pro and it is AMAZING
It keeps track of everything!

I also use it for my RP characters! :D

If going to do this it going to be like 3 word story, only difference is it going to be a with paragraphs.

I'm totally up for this. I am currently writing a novel. Well actually it may very well turn into a series, but I have yet to decide. I just got done with my huge planning phase. It is going to be done in first person and is placed in another world, so I basically had to write a history book for this place and create a religion, three actually. I also had to create a map so I could properly gauge were my characters are and which way they are traveling. Finally, I had to make my characters. So I think that classifies as some experience. Just PM me if you want someone to go into the minute details of this place. Other than that, let's figure out the perspective and get moving with the rest of the planning!

Eventually, I'll buckle down and start writing my books. There are so many ideas, and I'm just not at a level where I'm ready to breathe life into them yet.

I'm writing a novel as well, Alkor did see  the title once. But until then I changed it, I already saw this topic once, and I started on a theme and such as main and sub characters.
