Yo! Whats up Scribblers!
I'm progressing well on my story. I think I have too many ideas so I won't include too much stuff. I'm going to focus mostly on plot development. MHM seems to be interested in the character development. That keeps me from worrying about unlikeable characters. But that doesn't mean I am totally going to ignore characters. I have some ideas on how to "grow" some of them. Others I leave up to you. but do make them good. I have a habit of killing off unworthy characters. Oh and I added one more rule to the list:
First person to comment continues.
If someone has already been chosen they must comment to make sure to reserve their spot as the next writer.
The story doesn't have to continue from exactly where it left off unless you want it to, i.e. it can be a prequel or a parallel story happening in the same setting but in an another part of the world.
Do not change the name or other important feature of a character previously introduced unless that character has an identity crisis, amnesia or an alias.
Spin offs can be made if preferred as long as they don't affect the immediate plot line.
This spin offs can be shorts, factoids, character bios or whatever.
If someone has taken your spot as the next writer in the chain by commenting, then for the sake of fairness let them continue but keep your draft somewhere just in case.
Anyone can join in.
The major characters of the previous story doesn't have to be the main characters in the next story.
The story can be done in 1st, 3rd or even 2nd person despite how the previous writer wrote it.
Don't just call it Chainstory part 3 or 4. Give it an epic title.
Not all characters have to be developed.
Don't do unnecessary or impossible revival of dead characters if you don't have a logical or believable reason for it to happen. Or else you are taking away the drama or effect the writer is trying to bring by killing them off.
If the death of the character is not implied or stated directly or openly then the character can be brought back
Only the creator of a character can kill them off.
If the creator gives consent then someone else can kill them off.
That's all for now.
Diana & Samson : You heartless bastard! What give you the right to consider us unworthy characters? You ain't Simon Cowell!
Me: Err... sure I can. I made you
Diana: That still doesn't give you the right! You are just playing god!
Me: You guys are just figments of my imagination that gives me all the right. plus why are you complaining? MHM brought you back to life.
Diana:...
Samson: How about me? I'm dead aren't I?
Me: Well about that...
Samson: Yes...?
Me: Actually.. sorry ..I can't spoil it for you. Ask MHM. Cheerio!

MHML Damn you, KV.-Turns to Samson-Umm....youmightcomebackasacyborgsorryifyoureagainstitbackmeuphereMalcombye (Runs like hell)
ReplyDeleteSamson:Hey,come back! (Is stopped by Malcolm)
Malcolm: You've been waiting for 11 days short of a year, Samson, and you've been dead for 14 months! If you've waited that long already, you can wait a few more days.
Ozzie(grumbles): Yeah, at least you got a mention in the last post...
Diane(Shrugs): I got to come back to life and killed a Death Mask, I'm cool with this.
Malcolm(coughs):About that first bit..
Diane looks at him suspiciously:What?
Malcom: Nothing, nothing!
