Do I need to write anything else?

not yet.
we have nothing to do until Nomolo finishes his section.

we make 5-10 page horror stories, and when we have enough, we compile them to a book.
here's my start.

It was a dark night. A full moon barely light the city. Everyone sensible person was locked inside their houses. But some people weren’t so sensible. A lone man was going for a walk in the park, oblivious to the weather. He didn’t notice the dark shadow creeping up on him, darting behind trees, until it was too late. The monster was upon him. The man's screams pierced the still night air, before slowly dying down to silence.

but, how about Shadow/Waffles checks it first?
my policy is that two people should confirm a page.
then we have most of the prologue  smile

Ok. Shadow!! Waffle!! What do you think of my prologue?

Some parts a little OP, but I think we can live with it easily. It needs some editing to make it past tense, but other than that, I like it. ^^

so now all we need is Nomolo's, some editing to all of them, and we've finished our prologue.  big_smile   big_smile   big_smile   big_smile   big_smile   big_smile   big_smile

awesome idea! how about we write the arabian nightmares in the time we aren't needed writing the current book, and compile them when we have enough?

i think i'll start one now.

That is a good idea! And if we ever need help thinking of ideas, we can just ask.

Summary of Idea: The government only wants the smart ones. Nobody else in the world. So they must be tested with the cube. Four teens must solve mind boggling puzzles, mazes and traps, if they fail, they die and are never seen again. If they pass and exit alive, then that's how they stay. Can they find their way through? Or will they fail, and stay forever?

Yeah, great I'll add it to the idea box.
Madbunny, I like your new prolouge it is awesome.

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

How should we release the book on eReader?
Here are my ideas:
a) one chapter each week
b) one chapter each week after book completion
c) Realese it all at once
d) release each chapter as we complete it

This is sort of like the other one I just replied to, maybe we could combine the ideas somehow.

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

I think we should just release the whole book at once, because we choose the title after we finish the book, plus if we need to do some last minute editing or rearranging, itwould be simpler to do.

yes, combining them would be cool. I think the main part of my idea that could be combined is Herobrine.  big_smile

And yes, one whole release sounds easiest. xD

Possible Title(Temporary Title that we use before voting after finishing the book): Eternal Nightmare
Summary of Idea: WoW fanfics about 5 characters who come together (even after some being horde, and others alliance) to save Ysera from a second Nightmare. Can they save her in time to restore balance to Azeroth?

Ok, to get people interested and hooked  smile  It would be cool if we also began the prolouge for HF and put it in the back of the book as a preveiw.

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

But when we're done with our stoy, we start a new one. Then, while we're doing our last minute edits, we start the prolouge, etc. and put it in the back of the book.  smile  Just an idea. If its too much trouble we dont have to.

Oooo! Or we could put one of the Arabian Nightmares in the back!
