The Many Authors' Break Room

[mari]

Just in case anyone wonders, I took down my last bit because it builds on wrong facts (Logan still on the phone) - thanks for pointing it out, Sim - maybe it will fit later on.

I wonder if it's time we have a "who knows what" list in the Break Room-- we've run with this long enough that it takes a while to review everything for continuity! (not like the folks at DA always spent as much time as they should have... )

See what happens, Lisa, when you promise something will be fast & easy? This is your show-- do you think we need a score card, or do you prefer letting things ride & see what happens?

You talk as if I know what's going on... The only thing I know for sure is that Logan's shirt is still off.

My preference is that we let it ride. I don't know what's happening in the story until somebody writes it, and it seems like a lot of repetitive work to recap what has already happened. I say we just keep going, and if there is a problem with continuity, we do one of the two things...either go in and find a way to fix it in the next entry or pm the author and give them the chance to change it or take it down. Both those things seemed to have worked so far.

I'm afraid if we start making lists, we'll start writing outlines, then we'll start planning...and we don't want that, do we?

I just read the whole story yesterday and I think it's awesome, especially considering the fact that so many authors wrote it, without a plan of the bigger picture. I really enjoyed reading it, especially loved how everybody beat around the bush in the beginning ... and the tension increased ... and increased ... and nobody knew exactly about what kinda of drama he (she!) was writing. Great!

Ahhh, and I completely forgot about shirtless Logan. (How could that happen?)

[lisa316]

This story is way more awesome that I thought it would be. I'm so impressed with us! ;D

I think that if we just watch each other's backs, we'll keep the continuity just fine. Just don't be afraid to tell somebody if they made an error.

Awww, Mari wrote his shirt back on...

^{Can we at least rip it in an upcoming action sequence to make me feel better?}

Sorry I didn't manage to de-shirt Logan for ya, Lisa.

Sorry , please don’t bombard me with rotten tomatoes (fresh ones are welcome though ), just imagine him in a nice and tight sweatshirt… And hey, I’m just giving you all a new opportunity to unwrap him. I was simply afraid that otherwise the Reds might eat him alive, especially if there are any females among them…

Lisa, at least you can reap the bennies of being a Pulsette: if you can hang tight a few hours you may be able to catch a free sneak peek at nekkid Loogie over on e-mail distribution tonite!

(and yes, this is also a back-handed update to anyone who cares that the Writers' Pulse project is still underway!)

[lisa316]

To Mari: I forgive you. You're right, getting him out of it is half the fun.

To Sim: Re:that last post...BRAVO! You are the ECWS Queen.

To Shy: [excited noise]Squeeee!!![/excited noise]

I'll be checking my mail every five minutes until I get my WP fix! I'm very pleased that we're stripping down on some of his clothes; Writer's Pulse is now endorsed by AURLCO.

^{I've been thinking about writing off some of Sketchy's clothes, but the effect will be very different, I'm certain. Ah, well...that's a discussion for a different writer's group.}

Wake up, Lis'! Loogie awaits... Max on her way....

Writer's Pulse? What's that? I've been MIA so long thanks to these damn exams I've missed something that makes Lisa go "Squee!"

In case anyone's interested in my new anti-X5 weapon, I got the idea from the genius that decided the way to stop kids hanging around my local train station was to play a continuous high pitched noise over the PA system. As people get older, they get worse at hearing very high frequency sounds so no one over the age of about 25 can hear it. I'm 19, so when I have to stand in line for tickets it feels like I'm having root canal.
With their enhanced hearing, imagine what it would be like for an X5!

Just take a look around in the Writer's Guild...Writer's Pulse has it's own thread somewhere!

I've heard of the Anti-Youth sounds...Irks, poor Sim!
