Ooooh a thought..... I just reached a good point in the story that would be an end of a chapter so what if we post our stories interweaving rather than the chapter idea, to help us with natural breaks that they have? If that makes sense.

Well i think that's really what happened to me Michelle. All we need to do when we are ready to put the next bit up is to say... so and so continued. Also it might help to get a bit of continuity to make our chapters a bit more cohensive. LIke I want to know the name of Doris' character, and for Mia to be Anya's mum.
SO I'd say YES.
ps sorry if my typnig is worse than usual. Seem to have dxylexic fingers today. Lots of going back and correcting needed.

Phew I've gone hot and wobbly. I'm now anxious to get the rest, of Anya and everyone elses story. And I think the little bits of interweaving are going to really MAKE what we are doing. So, Mia will have to have a showdown with Jacen at some point... Now to work out how. Tho of course Dylan is Definitley part of the plot......mmmmm

I'll make sure to leave you an opening for Mia to have her go at Jacen :-) I guess we should really decide if we want spoilers for each's ideas or not...

remember i'm definitely a 'newbie' even if nearly an 'oldie'. How /what/ where/ who is/ are spoilers?
Though must stress to others that interweaving is not compulsory. Go with your flow.

HI Michelle! Small favour to ask here - feel free to say no!
I need to create a head of security for the island - are you ok with me doing that......and he won't exactly be human.........is that ok?

Spoilers are when we tell each other the whole story so all twists etc are known and can be worked around, upside, everyone knows what's coming and can ammend theirs if necessary, downside no surprises when its put up.
And yes there is no requirement to break up the chapter if you don't want to, its all up to the individual...

Cherie that's a very intriguing idea and I can't say no to that... All I know (or admit to know ;-D) about the hierarchy of the island is that 'Mr Destin E' owns the island and pays all the wages, Christophe is his main assistant, but as for the rest of the staff he is totally equal opportunities human or not :-)

Great! Thanks! Good to see Mr Destin E is an open minded man!  |

Ha .. my mind is boggling. Personally, Don't think we need to know everything. These comment posts etc seem to do what's needed. I might need aditional info at the end from people if that is OK?

oooh Doris you have me intrigued as to how her fantasy is going to unfold...I love the way that you describe Astrid and it seems lots of these girls are secretly hiding the fact they don't believe in fantasies, they're all in for a real wake up call :-) Can't wait to read on.

Doris, seriously good. I love Astrid's attitude, and your descriptions, and am so looking forward to seeing how things pan out for her. I'm getting such good feelings about all this. I think our little 'weavings' are making the stories so much better. And I'm with Michelle on the way we seem to have heroines with out fantasies.... at first. Lets write on ladies!

I'm trying to write part two now but think I'll need more than two...how many parts am I allowed? This is so much fun I want to keep it going as long as possible :-)

As many as we want within our deadline. After all M & B can always take it up as a series.......
Tho' maybe we need to stick to a max of words overall per person. In effect a mini novella each, 20,000 words, no more than 4 parts? Or I'll be reading til Christmas. there is also the chance that if we do too much we will get bogged down in minutiae. Tho I'm happy to go with the majority. And you don't need to do more than 1 bit either if you don't want to.

i have just read all the parts and the prolog togeather and I think they are all Legend!! (Sorry the London coming out in me!!)

I will work on mine - heroine is called Isabo if that helps anyone!! I am so enjoying this and I haven't even done my bit yet! (squeeellll - sorry embarresed myself now  ) |

Don't worry Cherie I'm addicted to this like it was a soap or something, I want to see what can possibly happen next and I'm still intrigued by your head of security too!!!

Post by joanne on Oct 1, 2010 15:15:37 GMT
Cherie can I have a name for your security guy? I want my hero, Dylan to metion him by name..Probably, along the lines of " no need to worry about security and privacy here. X is our head of security. He's a little unusual, but nothing gets past him unless he wants it to..... Is that OK with you? No problem if it isn't i'll do differently!
If you've read my first bit you will have realised that Anya is Mia's daughter, and CHristophe is Dylans father. Intrigue eh?

That is completely fine, His name is Sebastian, but goes by Bastian if that helps!
I know! Talk about all the inter linking! I am enjoying it!

I just had a thought, is it ok if there are male guests? Without giving my plot away, I need there to be one to make a good finish for Astrid. But if it's a no I shall just have to think of a different twist.
