#42967 - 10/20/09 06:27 PM Developing story ideas through this medium???
Hunterguy Hunterguy member Registered: 01/21/09 Posts: 166	I am wondering if anyone would be interested in sharing that way in this public forum? Allow me to explain. As an Atuhor here I have a number of loyal fans, and I am sure that we all have them, who read each and every story that we post, adding feedback almost habitually. Of those fans I have a few that take extra time and effort to give me some very thoughtful and much appreciated feedback with each of their votes, as I am sure you all do as well. I have often engaged those fans, asking questions, exploring their likes and disslike more thoroughly. A few of these exchanges have led to a very intimate conversation. Not intimate in a cybersex way but intimate in a personal way, basically getting to know each other without the sexual interest. In a few rare occasions I have offered to write their story, one has been posted here and I was/am working on two others. If others are interested one of us would post an outline for a story, sort of lay out a rough plot. Then we could share ideas on the development of the story and/or charachters. Rather than one author taking credit for the story a new shared author account could be established, where if there is enough interest the story could be continued by various author's each adding a chapter or simply a new segment, sort of like a continuing saga using the same charachters. How about it? Does this have any appeal? I think the public colaboration of a few authors might act as inspiration to others who are toying with the idea of begining to write. Regards, HG 34

We gavce each other feedback for certain points of the plot as well as descriptions for the characters and certain things about them. She wrote and typed the story so she got the credit which was fine for me. I wouldn't mind trying it with a different author. I have a rough draft in the works and wouldn't mind help with it. _________________________ "Your body might be a virgin but your mind is a whore." Quote originally stated to me by Nadi.

Hunterguy Hunterguy member Registered: 01/21/09 Posts: 166	Hello Rock, As mentioned I have colaborated with a couple of fans, as well as a fellow author or two. Perhaps to start we should make contact off the forum first. We will go over the idea say through ES mail. Once we have things organized a bit we could come back here and continue this thread as originally intended. My author account is "Huntergirl 34", look me up and send me a personal ES-mail. Does that sound like a fair way to continue? HG 34

I think a variant of this might well be very interesting, where a group of authors develop a plot and some characters and locations to the point where they can start writing, and then each author writes her/his own version of tale. Chain stories can be a real mess (as many are in another place). Originally Posted By: Hunterguy ...

I have never looked at one of those chain stories so I'll take you on your word. I do like your variant to this idea, and would prefer to pursue that format. I have an idea that might get things started, but before that I must respond to a personal message on this topic. Originally Posted By: Hunterguy ...

Originally Posted By: CharmBrights I do seriously wonder whether this would be a discernable effect. You are probably right on this point. I have participated with several other non-writing forums, where public colaboration had inspired lurkers to come out and add their thoughts. Perhaps discussions about writing would be much different. Regards, Scott Edited by Hunterguy (10/22/09 12:44 PM)

cumgirl cumgirl Cum Girl addict Registered: 02/01/08 Posts: 679 Loc: United Kingdom	A long time ago when the world was young I read a multi Author story that worked. It used the simple plot trick of taking two characters (let's call them Janet & John) and introducing them to "a house of adventure". On entering they found themselves in a corridor with many doors and behind each door was a seperate experience. If I remember correctly, there were 8 doors and each 'experience' was written by a different Author. Janet & John were essentially two dimensional characters and each Author was free to do with them as they wished without inhibiting the next Author in the sequence. The standard was fairly variable but I do remember a very erotic anime inspired sequence with a multi tentacled creature for her and a total body absorbing pussy for him. In a similar vein I have recently done some draft work on something either called 'The Dark Room' or 'Cafe Flesh' (after the movie of the same name) which would be a series of unconnected weekly 'entertainments' that take place in the same location for an audience ... the connectors being the location & audience rather than any characters. Something like that could certainly work as a multi-Author project. _________________________ "poster child for the submissive"

Jake Jake addict Registered: 02/27/01 Posts: 592 Loc: Northeastern US	This sounds like trying to "wiki" a story, which frequently dies a slow death and/or turns into a total disaster. People end up not writing the characters consistantly. It's sort of like when soap operas change head writers and some characters undergo a complete personality transplant. You need agreement on a general story arc and who the characters fundimentally are, and then you need an executive editor with the power to keep it tidy. But since as writer's we're all tyros, someone gets their feelings bruised when the executive editor does something they didn't like. _________________________ Website: Jake's Wonderland Twitter: JakeMarlowWrtr

Hunterguy Hunterguy member Registered: 01/21/09 Posts: 166	Ok Jake, the part about shared acess for adding subsequent segments may not be a well thought out part of my idea, but I did say I wanted feedback, so thank you for yours. I am not sure if an executive editor would be needed. With CharmBrights thoughts in mind, each author would simply work with the same set of charachters, a pre-determined plot and the rest is up to each author's creativity. Final editing could be a colaborative effort, where we share our completed works before posting to make corrections and/or fine tune if anyone felt it necessary etc. Cum Girl, I am up for what ever those who might be interested agree upon. I favor the idea mentioned in my reply to Jake. Where, when, and how the action unfolds could easily be left to each author, within certain parameters laid out in the outline of the plot. If there were five interested authors there would be five different stories, or doors to travel through if you will. I guess in the end the only part of the story that we would hash out in public would be the charachters and the plot. If this sounds acceptable I have a basis for a story idea, are any of you in? Regards, Scott

Jake Jake addict Registered: 02/27/01 Posts: 592 Loc: Northeastern US	So what you're talking about is more a series of stories about the same characters in a given situation, not truly a novella or a novel. That might be easier, but I still think you need an executive editor or two to whip everything into something cohesive. I've actually read a couple mysteries by the Mystery Guild of America where they did this and it was a little weird to see the huge swings of style from one section to the next. And they did have an editor. All of that said, I don't know if I could do it anyway. I already have more writing on my plate than i can get to. I have been trying to finish the same ebbok forever and i have several story ideas just hanging out there. _________________________ Website: Jake's Wonderland Twitter: JakeMarlowWrtr
