Title: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on October 24, 2013, 12:14:54 AM: OK, so basically how this works is it's like a 3 word story except it's more like a 250 word story and it keeps to a bit more topicality and development. Each person takes it in turn to develop the story - don't go totally at right angles, though definitely put your own spin on it.

I'd like to run a couple of chains but we'll see how many people sign up. We'll do it openly, so you know who's written what as we go along. Basically you sign up to a rota, when it gets round to you you will write a 250 word section of the story in the story thread. All posts other than story sections in the story thread will be deleted. Chatter will occur in this thread.

Sign up! Be part of this thing! Or things!

Story thread: http://exilian.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2715.0;topicseen

(I will plan on being second on the list, though I'll make an OP to the story topic that also lays down the rules)

THE ROTA
The Khan
Death Nade
Jubal
Scarlet
Comrade_General
Pentagathus
Othko

CURRENT TURN: Death Nade from the 6th of September

Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on October 24, 2013, 10:31:27 AM: Yay :)

When we have 4-5 signups I'll start the writing thread.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on October 24, 2013, 10:47:09 AM: So, we need to all decide a theme/genre. I propose either Fantasy/Medieval or Sci-fi/Futuristic.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on October 24, 2013, 11:22:38 AM: I'd say go sci-fi?
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Scarlet on October 24, 2013, 01:50:56 PM: I'm up for it but it'll be dreadful/ will take forever and therefore you might not want me to be so :P
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: comrade_general on October 24, 2013, 02:58:10 PM: In.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on October 24, 2013, 03:45:28 PM: I think we'll probably give people a time limit of a week, or the option to skip if they don't get there in time/know they won't be able to. That way it will keep movign regardless.

S, I'm sure it won't be dreadful at all. :)
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Pentagathus on October 24, 2013, 07:00:30 PM: I'm happy to pitch in and portugal it up if needs be.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Othko97 on October 24, 2013, 09:13:18 PM: I'll join!
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on October 24, 2013, 10:18:34 PM: OK, I like Sci-Fi too. Who else agrees/objects?
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on October 24, 2013, 11:37:30 PM: Updated :)
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on October 27, 2013, 09:37:34 PM: Before I get started I want to make sure that everyone is happy about the story we're about to write. If anyone has any ideas they would like to share for the story than please, go ahead.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on November 03, 2013, 02:52:38 PM: Just go ahead and start already. :P
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on November 03, 2013, 10:27:20 PM: Oh armadillo! I forgot about this, so sorry. I've got an Idea, I'll get started with it in the next few days.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on November 13, 2013, 08:51:19 AM: I'm so sorry for being this late and also for going over the word count limit. I hope you don't mind.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on November 13, 2013, 07:11:24 PM: No problem. My turn, then. :)
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Pentagathus on November 13, 2013, 10:26:14 PM: It is a problem. I mind very much. I am in fact apocalyptically angry, almost tetanic with rage. I shall ruin you and all of your deeds Khan.
Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: comrade_general on November 13, 2013, 11:21:12 PM: My name is CG, and I approve the preceding message.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on November 14, 2013, 08:41:23 AM: Named after you, you should feel proud.

(I'm going to ignore that Pent, I know you're just being you.)
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Pentagathus on November 14, 2013, 09:38:49 AM: What else would I be?
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on November 14, 2013, 11:28:41 AM: A monster! A great and terrible monster!
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on November 15, 2013, 07:00:08 PM: My section is done, I fleshed out a bit of extra background - we're going to have high-tech space transport and flying cities but surprisingly archaic weapons I think. Laputa, anyone? :)
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on November 16, 2013, 06:09:28 AM: Swords and Sci-Fi! ;D So awesome! I like how the spaceship has sails. It's very creative. How big is the ship would you say? The size of a small house?
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: comrade_general on December 01, 2013, 02:28:22 AM: Got my piece in, it sucks, and I went a bit over the word limit - big whoop wanna fight about it?!
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on December 01, 2013, 03:15:10 AM: No CG, I love it! Don't put yourself down like that. And it doesn't matter if you go over, I did.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: comrade_general on December 01, 2013, 11:48:28 AM: Well thanks. :P
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on December 01, 2013, 12:23:42 PM: Can you message Penty and poke him to do his bit? :)
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Pentagathus on December 01, 2013, 08:13:34 PM: Yo bitches, I'm back, have no fear.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion

Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Pentagathus on December 08, 2013, 04:27:48 PM: Aite, I'll admit I have no idea what I'm going to be writing here, and not much time to write it, so it it will probably be armadillo.
Edit:
It's done. Slightly over 250 words but I don't have time to edit it. Midget space vampires anyone?
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on December 10, 2013, 02:27:56 AM: Righty, Othko's turn. Ain't no party like a midget space vampire party!
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on December 10, 2013, 04:45:52 AM: Hahaha! Very creative Pent, what's next? Giant Werewolves? :P
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on December 12, 2013, 03:23:11 PM: I think a gothic/scifi crossover could be quite fun. :P
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on January 01, 2014, 01:55:31 AM: Does Othko know it's his turn? It's been a few weeks.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Othko97 on January 01, 2014, 01:59:11 PM: Oops, sorry people, I completely forgot about this with all the festivities. I'll get it written up sometime soon.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on January 01, 2014, 02:51:46 PM: Yay :)
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on January 27, 2014, 11:41:40 PM: I think he forgot again. Or maybe his just too busy.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on January 28, 2014, 12:25:29 AM: Okay, let's skip Othko for now. Khan, you take another turn (I'll leave you to edit the OP with whose turn it is since you can do that now).
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on January 28, 2014, 02:24:46 AM: ;D Will do!

EDIT: I added the current turn to this thread as well as the Rota to the other thread. :)
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Othko97 on January 28, 2014, 07:26:47 AM: Sorry about that, I forgot and have been having to do computing almost non-stop anyway :/ I would suggest skipping me, because this looks set to continue for a while.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on January 28, 2014, 07:56:50 AM: It's OK Othko, maybe next time you'll have time. :)

I managed to do mine under the 250 mark this time. A bit more history building. :) Jubals turn!

Post by: Death Nade on January 29, 2014, 04:17:44 AM: Can i join this?
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on January 29, 2014, 07:39:24 AM: I wouldn't have a problem with that. We'll see what Jubal has to say though. :)
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on January 29, 2014, 09:17:14 AM: Yeah, sure, you may as well take a turn and replace me (and I'll go next so the order's Kh/DN/JB/etc) :)
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on January 29, 2014, 10:19:00 AM: Editing the list again! (This Moderation stuff sure is fun so far! :D ) It's your turn Death Nade!
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Death Nade on January 29, 2014, 10:21:25 AM: Sweet, I'll probably post the next segment tomorrow. Too late to bother now :P
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on January 29, 2014, 10:24:24 AM: Looking forward to what you come up with!

Post by: Cuddly Khan on February 06, 2014, 07:45:17 PM: Not meaning to pester or anything but you did say:

Quote from: Jubal on October 27, 2013, 05:47:12 PM
If 6 days pass and the writer has not gotten their section done, or if the writer skips, it is the next writer's turn.

I'm not saying we should skip you but maybe you should change this rule to something a bit more lenient.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on February 06, 2014, 09:35:10 PM: Extended to 2 weeks, good call, and apologies for my failings.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: comrade_general on February 06, 2014, 10:19:14 PM: Here at Exilian we make rules but we don't follow them.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on February 06, 2014, 10:33:55 PM: Yeah, that's mostly my fault :(
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion

Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on March 29, 2014, 03:45:03 AM: Well, if we go by how much every one else is getting than you have 2 months. :P
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on April 02, 2014, 09:34:57 AM: I was actually being sarcastic when I said two months. :P The sooner the better.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Pentagathus on April 06, 2014, 06:55:18 PM: Yeah sorry, I'll try and get it done tomorrow. I'm writing something else at the moment though.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on April 06, 2014, 09:09:49 PM: Yeah, that's fine. :) I'll skip to the next person in two more weeks if you don't get around to it though. :P
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Pentagathus on April 19, 2014, 08:31:39 PM: Umm so I think it might be best to skip me. Sorry guys.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on April 20, 2014, 03:45:44 AM: *sigh* No problem.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on April 20, 2014, 04:39:55 AM: Othko is away for the time being isn't he. When will he be back?
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on June 24, 2014, 02:56:30 AM: Damn, I didn't realize, it's technically been my turn all this time. :P I'll get something written and put it up if everyone's still interested in continuing this. :)
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Jubal on June 24, 2014, 12:49:41 PM: I'll happily do some more at some point :)
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on September 06, 2014, 01:37:32 AM: Done! :P So I was bored the other night and Death Nade reminded me about this, so here it is... finally.
Title: Re: Exilian Chain Writing Attempt I - Signup and Discussion
Post by: Cuddly Khan on September 06, 2014, 01:39:41 AM: BTW, should we take Scarlet off of the rota? She isn't really active anymore.
