Or will they fail and stay forever?
Adventures in Pixelation--Scientists have created an interactive game console.When aplayer pressed the "Play" button,he is transported to the world of the video game. but now the console has gone haywire, and five beta testers are trapped inside the game "Minecraft"They have to learn to survive Creepers and Zombies...

On the Loose(Fanfic)--The time of Voldemort is past. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is now safe. Or is it? When students and valuables start disappearing, five Hogwarts First Years decide to take it upon themselves to solve the crime. But when they figure out a band of criminals have escaped from Azkaban, will they have the courage to stand up to the escapees? And will they have the strength to defeat them?
Quest for the Healers(Fanfic)--Humans have taken the medicine cats of the clans at a Half-moon meeting. There are no cat’s eligible to train as a Medicine Cat at the moment. With sickness and disease spreading through the camp, and nothing to stop it, Star Clan sends cat(s) from each clan to find their healers.
Birds of Prey(Fanfic)-- Owl Clan, Eagle Clan, and Hawk Clan have lived in peace for a long time but when an omen comes foretelling the arise of Bird Clan (the ancestors of the Clans) with the help of certain birds inside each clan, members faithful to the Black Nest (Evil ancestors) emerge to stop them.
The Plague--a terrible plague has  beset the kingdom, and everyone knows that an evil wizard is causing it. [insert number of writers writing book] people, mere teenagers, have been entrusted with the Swords of Destiny, and are told to destroy the wizard and eliminate the terrible plague. the fate of the kingdom is in their hands. but can they do it?
Run Away--A group of Cats, Rats, mice, ferrets, weasels,  and such are mistreated/disliked at the Castle. So they try to escape, which isn't an easy feat cnsidering drawbridges and gaurds. And if they escape from the castle, where will they live? What outside dangers will their be to face?

Each enchanter/ress has discovered thier world, Zeploink, has been dying around them. Someone has taken the gold! Suspicous of the dwarves, the other regions team up to steal back the gold--and their world's life. But far away, cackling and unnoticed, lies an evil organization of Hypnotizers with dire intentionsThe War of Hindeun--When the intergalactic council in the galaxy of Hindeun are faced with another galaxy trying to destroy them,  their only option is battle. with advanced space technology, the galaxies war. but will either survive?

(this would be like star wars, with space battles and fights on planets, like with big machines, sort of like the AT-AT things.)

Re: Arabian Nights--A Writing Collab for Future Authors

you know what would be a huge problem to this?

dissapearing text bug.

also, we could make a wiki out of this, with pages for every book, with a link and synopsis/description  smile

Okay, then that should work.
But we should still do all the major discussions&stuff on here.
I will also start a Voting Box every time we finish/start a book to vote on titles for the book.

We'll all work together to write a story, although I'm wondering if it should be something where we each write a chapter and write for  a different character, or if it should be the same sort of thing as Arabian Nights where we each write a small story and combine it so it makes a big story, or whether we should work together where we all help out with all the book. I'm thinking it should change with each idea we do.

Re: Arabian Nights--A Writing Collab for Future Authors

We could each do a chapter, like:
person1 does chapter 1
person 2 does chapter 2
person 3 does chapter 3
...
person 1 does chapter something

Until the plot has been fulfilled. Then, during editing, the editors make it sound like its just Arabian Nights, instead of person1, person2, and person 3. ^^

Re: Arabian Nights--A Writing Collab for Future Authors

i think we should have a few protagonists, and one person gets to write the chapters for one protagonist, and another person gets another protagonist.
