Clown the Jester -> RE: =HS= Storyline Discussion Thread (8/15/2011 14:36:34)

Ya...well communication is the second most important thing with Coauthor stories.
The most important is making sure all Authors see each chapter before they are posted in.
Heres how Gray and I did each chapter of Comedy and Tragedy.
1.One of us...say Gray writes a chapter...he pms it or emails it to me...
2.I pm Gray back listing anything I think we should add or remove or change and explain why.
3.If he agrees with me, I add or change what I think is important, however I hi-light what I add so he knows what is new in the story and I send it back to Gray.
4.Gray edits, goes over changes with me, we make sure we both agree...and he sends it back to me.
5.I either make more changes...or if I'm satisfied I pm it back to Gray giving it the OK.
6. Either Gray Silhouette gives it the ok and one of us posts it or he makes new corrections and changes and resends it.
The important part was even when we began chapter 1 we knew how the story was going to end and we knew most of the plot of the story.
No chapter we wrote was ever a suprise.
Except when you guys posted a chapter and we did a crossover. But even then, Gray and I thought it through.
You have no idea just how much thinking went into the story.
Trust me guys...you need to do the same thing will all your fellow authors for this story.
Or else things could get really confusing and make little sense.
Oh Arachnid, Gray is doing Operation R.E.B.O.R.N. now although the Modo story is coming out at the other author's own pace.
Oh Gray wanted me to make sure you all new this, For Operation R.E.B.O.R.N, Gray Silhouette has his own plot down so he won't be doing add chapters with other stories like we did in Comedy and Tragedy.
Not that he didn't appreciate you guys contributing. Its simply he wants to keep this story to the point. So don't be suprised if his story goes against someone else's story history.
He will try to not mess up other people's stories...its just after Operation R.E.B.O.R.N. he's writing a story that takes place five years before Comedy and Tragedy called
City of Shadows.
After that he and I are going to orchestrate The Beginning of The End.
I will be still working on The Good, The Bad, And The Chaos.
And maybe another mini series that may or may not tie in with the Comedy and Tragedy cannon called The Madness Behind The Clown.
