And I'll organise everythig and try and clear up any confusion about anything on this migration with the first post of the new topic. And we should still use this topic, for the lighter hearted lazy stuff.

Those are all awesome ideas. I like the idea of writing bits of a book each. Chapters sounds about right, yeah.
For starters cheeseater, we need some stuff in them! At the moment, all there is is a tutorial on making scratch ebooks. Really, we should have a 'best this month' award for the best ebook in the gallery ever month, but there aren't an ebooks really.
Someone could make ebooks full of ideas.
We could make a poetry collection!
I have made four new banners, I just need to get them online. They are high tech looking, blue and black mainly. I have changed our mascot to a long, sleek blue worm with a pointy nose. On the banners, he is shown using his nose to write with.
There is also a lot of warped binary in the background.
I'll try and get them online as soon as I can.
I'm quite proud of them, they're good for my standards. There are four, so if you want them in your signatures, there's plenty to choose from
Who here as actually tried Reading that ebook tutorial I made? There are ideas for ebooks in there. What we really want to do is to populate the gallery, with anything! It could be anything from cat art to weird fanfics about mr bean joining frankie goes to Hollywood.
One rule for the gallery at the moment: it has to be creative. And I should delete that version of the gallery. Cheeseater is gallery owner and should control the gallery fully.
Cheeseater can filter out the spam and judge the best gallery entry every month or so.
Cool, this sounds like a plan! Do you mean we delete the whole gallery, or just sections of it. I cannot edit the gallery because Humhumgames created it, maybe i could make a new gallery, and slowly cut & paste the books from the old to the new?
Also for the ebooks thing i am making a template for what it should look like and how the scripts work. It'd be a bad thing if the ebooks that work in different ways, i suggest anyone who wants to make an ebook takes a look at the templte first.
Anyway, what do you think?
Thanks, Cheeseeater

Monthly writing contests. Definitely.
Book chapter by chapter. Definitely.
We should have a new topic for each of those. This can be the talking and being weird topic.
And the new topic can be for writing scratch ebooks collaboratively.
E.g. Someone has an idea for a book and posts it on the forums. Someone can edit it, then the person puts it into an ebook. They find an illustrator to add to it, and they put the finished book into the gallery.
Of course they could have no illusrations and write it into the ebook straight away, but they wouldn't need the new topic for anything.
Get the idea? A bit? Maybe?

ok i get the idea

Ive made an ebooks gallery. We delete that. Humhums made a gallery. We ignore or get that deleted. You make a gallery and let anyone edit it, and add your templates and the ebooks tutorial. I link to that in the new topic.
And I'll try and upload the banners very very soon.

Managed to upload one: my first one.
How's this? Only one so far though at the moment. Il try do the rest when I get more time. I only got a minute on the computer.

I really like the first one I'm going to replace my annoying old signature with it
So, just making sure i've not misunderstood:
Cheese is making a new gallery for ebooks
Pinni is making a new thread for proper collabing
This thread is being kept for talking about writing and weirdness
Post the new threads and gallery link

Well you can never be too happy.
Unless of course you're happy that you just did something homicidal.
Or if you aren't really happy, you're just on drugs.
Okay, you can be too happy.
But there isn't anything wrong with lots of smilies. I will have to get on and make this thread then.

Wait, I need links to the library and the gallery first. Only then can I make the topic.
Offline
Here is the link to the new ebook gallery: http://scratch.mit.edu/galleries/view/198399
Inside it we have pinnipediator's cool guide, and my template that isn't working properly.(hopefull i can fix it because i have now posted a new qustion asking about it in scripts forum)I am now going to now make the new library, but i will say it is still under construction, because it might go wrong if people post on it.
This all ok?
Thanks, Cheese

Not right now.
If there are going to be monthly competitions, who is going to run them, also, who is going to run the chapter by chapter thing?
Whisperfur+mint, if you two decide who runs the chapter by chapter thread, and who runs the competitions, then then I can make a thread for each and you can run them.
And of course there's scratch 2.0. Shall I try and make 2.0 threads or 1.4 threads?
Offline
Okay that's all awesome.
Feel free to use the banners in the library
Offline
I think you should make 1.4 threads because I can't log onto 2.0
Anyways, do you want me to help in any way? I can run the competitions if a more experienced Bookworm member doesn't want to.

Here is a link to the library so far: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic … 3#p1540283
Don't worry it is going to get bigger.
