[Project] Tandem Writing
[Project] Tandem Writing
Anyone interested in starting up a Tandem Writing project? Similar to the ones we did back before The Great Implosion - 4-8 people taking turns writing the same story, each from the perspective of their particular character (for the most part). No particular GM, any writer can drop plot points which any other writer can pick up and run with.

How do you define flaky? I'd say if we averaged 1-2 posts per day as a group total we'd be doing alright. That'd be 1-2 posts per week per person.
Of course, it's always permissible to pass, as long as you don't do it /too/ often. Lord knows with summer coming up I'd do it a few times at least.

I'm in as well. That Trek thing we did was fun as hell, but I'm up for whatever and whenever.

Alright, well we got 4 people then I think. Shall we give it a try? As we have one new person, and we're missing three of our previous authors, I vote we start new.
I'd like to do a modern fantasy, since I've been burning through the Dresden Files lately. If you haven't read any of the books, here's a decent primer on the world - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dresden_Files. It's basically very WoD like, though I'd say with considerably less angst.
Thoughts?

Jim Butcher is, and has been for several months, my newest God of writing. The Dresden Files and the Codex Alera are two amazing series. I'm chomping at the bit for the next book in both.

I've been going over the old tandem writing prjects, and they certainly look interesting. Might not manage more than a post or so a week, though, so if that's too low, I won't butt in.
Geneticists have established that all women share a common ancestor, called Eve, and that all men share a common ancestor, dubbed Adam. However, it has also been established that Adam was born 80.000 years after Eve. So, the world before him was one of heavy to industral strength lesbianism, one assumes.

Alrighty then, we've got seven. I'll start two other threads. One In Character, one Out Of Character. We'll discuss characters, plot, writing order, things like that in OOC. I'll post the Prologue in the IC post, and we'll take it from there. I'm posting the prologue just to help kick off the creative juices, we don't neccesarily have to starting adding chapters until we get characters settled out.

What's the Codex Alera series like? As a devoted Dresden fan I've been meaning to have a look at the first one but lack of time, and to some extent past experiences of successful authors trying to branch out into new genres to try and get out of the shadow of their first creations and the results, have kept me from doing so so far.JohnnyRico wrote:Jim Butcher is, and has been for several months, my newest God of writing.

You'll get to see a little bit of their magic system in my character's powers, but the book series are at the same time nothing alike, but very similar. The plot centers around a single family, the primary focus being on the young Tavi, who is unique in his inability to call on the elementals, called furies, that everyone, and I do mean everyone else has at least a slight ability to call on. In every book so far, he covers political back-blading, violence, romance (though some books more than others), prejudice, and cultural diversity. And he does it while making it a hard book to put down.
If you go in expecting Dresden, you won't get it. I hesitate to say that you'll be dissapointed, because that's essentially what I did and it's far from the truth. I've read all nine Dresden books, and all three in the Codex Alera, and I'm chomping at the bit for the fourth one. As always with Butcher's books, the story, characters, and the entire world are all well developed.
