If I was to team up with someone to enter this possible contest, I'd first have to disqualify myself as a judge. Now, if I could find someone to team
up with just for the fun of it and
not enter, then that might work.
Yeah... that's the ticket
Hmmm. Who, though? *rattles empty skull*
There's always my alter ego... the one who comes out when flashing pop-ups calling me the millionth keystroker gives me a minor seizure...
But, that's still just me, isn't it? Aren't you?
No, I'm not!!!
Yes, you are... go away!!!
*sulk*
That's better. Now, where was I?
Oh, yes. I'd pick John Lear.
---------------------------------------
Alter ego kicks in.
How would we set this up?
An Idea
A story with dialogue would work. Let's say 2 or 3 members get together (no more, cuz that could get messy) work out a basic scenario.
-------------------------------
ie. infiltrating Area51 (I'm thinking Norio now)
You establish a set of occurences... planning the sneaking in part, getting ready, being scared, scoping out the guards, going in, getting caught,
escaping after one of you gets blown away by a C-130 gunship... bla bla bla.
Once a skeleton of a story is kinda ready, then each of the 2 or 3 members are characters playing it out with dialogue.
ie., I say to John Lear;
"But, John... you said that you were gonna bring that bloody wirecutter"
and John replies;
"Masqua... if you had a clue, you know I'm always prepared. I got packets of thermite on my handy dandy utility belt for getting through that gate"
And I say;
"ooooh... kay
."
------------------------
OR
You could set something up the way mojo4sale just described.
Don't matter how or what subject... just as long as it's a collaborative piece of work.
Here's the deal:
If I get a post on here (or a U2U) from 2 or 3 members who want to try this, then
I will give them writer status so that they can work out their
story in the Collaborative Fiction forum. Once you think you have a good story worked out, then put it all together and post it into the
Contest.
Once I see that there are at the very least 5 groups interested in trying this out, I'll announce the contest, the rules and the prizes.
