Alright, so my characters have been fussing lately about how they've been feeling neglected. While technically I feel like a lot of us are retired from role-play and that it'll take a few weeks for everyone to see this, I would love to see people post here. SO. I'll take the first few steps (and Lisa, too, since we're kinda excited about this). This is step one. Step two is just roleplaying. Granted, we're not active and we're no longer looking for new members, but that could be OK. We're all so comfortable with each other that we can just co-write our role plays, and wouldn't it be cool if we used this place to like... write a book or something?! SERIOUSLY HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE. Why not? Step three: Step four: IDK, PROFIT? actually I feel like, to avoid issues, any 'profit' from a co-written novel among X amount of people should be donated to charity, sort of like World Vision (that feeds hungry children in Africa.) So, there's that and also I have contacts in that charity.

Idk about the book thing. As you know my chars are a big part of the books I'm currently writing and I'm worried about anyone having a claim to them when I try to get published. But I am for starting up new rp.

Oh, LOL, no, let's not use our near-and-dear to our hearts characters for a collaborative novel. That way lies madness, and I'd shit myself if someone tried laying claim to Ance, Ange, or Nyct.
We're all creative enough to pull new, deep characters from out of the blue, right? (also if these collective, hypothetical novel's royalties were given to charity, over half of our characters are NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THAT SUBJECT MATTER. Could you imagine?
Yeah, no. While that would be fun as all get-out, we would make new characters up. XD

Are you talking about an anthology where we would all author our own short stories, or all write a book with the same characters? I'm a little confused on how the latter one would work, but anthologies are nothing new and some enjoy decent success.
I'd have to make some new rooms in my brain for brand new characters. My brain-space is almost completely rented out to the cast of my novel-in-progress. xD I feel terrible about that too, because all of my old guys that really helped these new guys come in are almost completely stored away. Although like Ami was talking about her post, some of them have assimilated into the new guys.
But I digress. I guess what I'm trying to say is could you elaborate on the idea? I'd love to see something come out of all of our time here, profit or not. Even if it's just something for all of us to say "we made this, and we made it together".

That would be a huge anthology. xD But we could either do an anthology or a massive collaborative novel (as more than two people would be writing)- write it down in RP form and then novelize that shit I do rather like an anthology, though. That wouldn't take away from any current novels we're working on and would be a decent side project. But I hear you on the brain-space thing. I tried introducing two new characters in TZK and wound up killing them in a fiery explosion. Someone divided by zero (not kidding.)

Yeah I'm not sure I have enough in me at the moment to create a new character. Right now Caere and Moscha are fighting over control of my life (let's hope Caere wins no?) and I'm just really exhausted.
Not to say I wouldn't be interested in the future though. Maybe when Caere hands the reins over to Eva or something.
