Hmmm.... Color me interested. Not literally, though. I have no idea how you would do that.

@Syd: Oh hey, one of mine. Cools.

Hmm, not sure if want to participate. Sounds fun, but writing for me has been like pulling teeth lately.

@Crow: The thing with this is that it's pretty much guaranteed to be ridiculous, so you don't have to worry about it being awesome.

Which is why I'd like to try, maybe it could help me loosen up with writing.

It's pretty much why I'd like to try my hand as well, I don't have to worry about the fact I haven't written in years.

So would we make a thread in the fanfic subforum or what? If the first one works, maybe we could do progressive stories for different genres or something.

I like the idea of rotating genres as well as authors. It makes the whole thing more gonzo.

Won't that make it harder to follow?

@JT Sounds fine to me.

"Round Robin"?

That's my dream. It's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor … and surviving.

#378861 Darkabomination Tue, 25th Jun '13 6:45:46 PM from the darkest of the hillside thickets

I'm not quite sure how I'd do a genre switch, but why the buck not. Or we could put in RP.

Roses are red, violets are blue.

@Freeman One person writes part of something, hands it to the next person, they write the next part, then hands it to the next person, then so on and so forth

And I thought the Genre changing was going to be in successive fics, if successive fics are made. Unless it accidentaly genres in the process of writing.

I guess we'll just have to see how it goes. After all, the fun of it is throwing caution to the winds.

#378864 Thirikal Tue, 25th Jun '13 6:58:28 PM

I figured genres would shift mid-fic, but I realise that's not the best idea.

#378865 Japanese Teeth Tue, 25th Jun '13 6:59:03 PM from Meinong's jungle

We could do both. Should I start a thread, or does the person who's idea it originally was want to do it?

How are we going to organize this? Are we just letting anyone post the next part of the story, or are we going to have a rotation of some sort?

I have no hat and I must scream.

#378867 Thirikal Tue, 25th Jun '13 7:00:57 PM

I figured we'd actually implement a rotation. But I'm not sure how we'd manage the rotation or how long each person would have to submit.

Round robin fanfic writing.

Should I go on an set it up? If so, what should I title it? I'm also not exactly sure what I'd write assuming the person who sets up would also write the first portion of the fic.

I'd say start the thread and at the very least we can move the discussion there.

Well dayum.

Also, I'd be interested in this round robin thingy. I must be off to bed now, though, so if a thread does get started could someone PM me a link and I'll check it out tomorrow? Thanks a bunch.

Night all!

#378873 Steventheman Tue, 25th Jun '13 7:18:14 PM from Wales

Heh. Would be very interested to read the results. I would like to take part, but I have a history of fucking up projects like these.

Why is it called round robin?

#378875 Crowfall Tue, 25th Jun '13 7:23:34 PM

Well the round is because of the way it rotates through everyone, and the robin is because everyone love alliteration.
