You can add charecter sheets here^

Also, remember to take turns adding them, otherwise, we could mutilate it. XD

Who should go first, adding sheets?

Also, should we start writing our charecters part for the prologue? ^^

Yeah, I added that to the To-Do list.

*Hands Everyone Virtual Cookie*

Celebration Time!!! Our first book is now in progress!!

*tear* Big Milestone for this collab. Why, I remember the days when we were still picking out the genre...*memorful sniffle*

Wasn't that just yesterday? xD

So, shall I start writing? How long should each part be? Also, I am guessing we are doing 3rd person past tense right?

^^Yes indeed, or at least thats what I was thinking.
It can take as many pages as you need, but I would say a maximum of three pages.

Moira could be for his mom, it means sorrow or once happy.
Bual could be for the village, it means fallen.

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

Okay..I'ma have to bug you again. What's a good name for his sister? It won't be used much, but she still needs a name...Actually it will only be used once  lol
(Also I'm going to say no due date on this. But if you don't have a rough draft by next Monday, that might be a problem. This is just your rough draft, and you will always have time to edit it later  smile )

(Looking back on it, that sounds sort of like a deadline. Don't consider it one, just a loose day)

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

short first draft of my rough draft first part.

TEASER wrote:

Seaserpentine Maximus the Third was training. The prince of a kingdom of warrior sea serpents, he was required to train for long hours so he could protect his kingdom should the need arise. The royal family of serpents had a private training yard, in which he was now. He whirled around, his blue-green scales flashing in the dappled sunlight that reached the shallow sea bottom. He headed straight at a pillar of bright red coral, at the last second altering his trajectory and corkscrewing so the spikes down the top of his neck sliced through the sharp, hard coral. Then he whirled around, slamming another pillar of coral to pieces with the weight of his tail. He used his jaws to pick up boulders that lay on the seabed and crushed them between his sword-like teeth. After training for what seemed like decades, but was really only a few hours, he stopped and drifted lazily in the circular currents of the training yard. He was very tired after training so vigorously. He knew that if his brother, Spear, caught him doing this, he would come up with some excuse to steal the throne from him. Their father had died scarcely three days ago, and the kingdom was in hushed silence, waiting for the coronation that, by tradition, must be held five days after a king’s death. He, eldest son of the king, would receive the throne. But Spear could not accept that, and was doing everything in his power to get to the throne.

what do you guys think so far?

that's only about half of the first part,and i'm going to make it longer. olny half so not as much is given away.

Indeed. This is sort of random but I thought of a horror special we could make sometime called "Arabian Nightmares" where we would each post acouple of 5-10 paged horror stories.
Btw, we should make a banner of some sort

We should probably think of the design together, though. I'll post it on our To Do list.

i can see if we can get one from him/her

what do we need? an arab gazing up at the stars or something? and how would you draw an arab? a person with a cloth over his head and a camel?

i should probably keep working on my section of prolouge. Coil just fled the kingdom,
and i want this finished by tommorow afternoon.

Hm..Yah thats how Ive always pictured an Arab, though in the book (Im reading it right now) It mentions they have turbans alot. The book is where the term "Open Sesame" came from, so Maybe we could have like an Arab opening the door to a cave filled with books? Or a genie with librarian glasses on? Lets think on it tonight and let the others have a chance to submit there ideas then tomorow we can decided on the best one  smile

a turban would make it look more like an arab. yeah, let's wait until tommorow.

i take it the name of the collab is from the book you're reading?
