If you're desperate for people, I could do it, but I've got exams on at the moment so I'm not the ideal choice in terms of the time to write.

Thanks for the offers, guys.

Whity, I'll leave you to your exams. Sugarplum, it'd be fantastic if you could take over from Cho.

Tikky has agreed to take over for Fats.

If the two of you could work on Round 2 entries ASAP, we'll get Round 3 started as soon as you're both done.

Cheers!

Aaah it seems Lilith can't make it back either... so I need one more person, who has the time to commit to this experiment and see it through to the end.

Anyone? Smile

Wonderful, thanks Phantomfan. I've sent you a PM with the details.

And thanks to Sugarplum, and Tikky, whose entries are now in. Round 3 can get going as soon as Phantomfan gets a memory in.

For those who have been waiting for some time now, I'll announce what we're doing for Round 3 now, so you can begin thinking about it.

Round 3 is going to have a bit of a prompt, to give this round of memories a theme.

The prompt is ... "A lesson learnt from a family member."

Each character now has 2 memories shaping them, so remember to take what's been learnt so far to ensure your new memory fits in.

Any questions, ask away,

No posting Round 3 entries, until I say Round 3 is open!

Happy Writing Smile

Just had to say that was a great submission on Carey, Sugar Plum. It's cool to see how these characters start to develop. Cool

Ok - as you may have seen - Round 3 is now officially started. Get going.

See the post above to be reminded about the prompt for this round.

A couple of weeks to get these done and then we'll look to Round 4.

Happy writing Smile

Yes! I am so sorry I fail epically! After I got home for break, it was hard to get computer time and now that I'm back at school, my laptop cord isn't working. My life sucks. Thank you to whoever took over for me!

I'm sorry I've taken so long to get mine in, but I've been sick. At first I thought it was my just usual spring/winter allergy flu-like thing, but it turns out I have Tosenilities! * Don't worry, I don't have to get them removed, as it's only on one side. In the meantime, I've been pretty drugged (still a little gruggy today) to keep from coughing and therefore making me worse.

I hope to have my entry in by Thursday however.

Sorry for the delay.

*I probably spelled this wrong. I probably spelled a lot of things wrong in this post, as I still taking a very strong cough medicine which makes me for a lack of better word "loopy". But I think you can figured it out.

I'm so sorry I had to disappear again. I had bad reaction to some new medicine I was trying for migraines. Give me a few days to get myself together and I'll have a post up in no time.

This is really beginning to stall, and I don't want it to. These characters have half a life and it will be good to see them complete their journeys.

So I'm putting out a call for anyone who might want to get involved and take over an absent spot. If/when I have some volunteers, I'll make the decision who to replace.

Cheers.

For the record, I, like the characters, am half-alive. Character experiment is one of the few things I actually check nowadays. So this is just a kind of half-alive message so that I don't get replaced. Razz

Still looking for anyone to take over one of these characters, so we can get this moving again.

Creative volunteers post in here, or PM me please.

Happy Writing Smile

I too am sad that we never got round four going. I quite enjoyed this exercise, even if I did end up making everyone's characters sad and terribly depressing. (my bad guys)

If Smee's willing and we can get some volunteers to take over though, we might be able to get this running again.

Do we really need Smee? We could just hijack it! Pirate

All we really need is enough people who want to do it. So how many more do we need? I volunteer Lebrenth. Since he's my husband I can at least blackmail him into it. Angel

We could. That would mean one more person we'd have to sub in for though.

Although I could bug Phan back in, so that might help.

Maybe we should just start anew? We do seem to have plenty of new blood on the site, and Alessandros here does seem somewhat interested.

If we just started anew would be abandon these characters or just reassign everyone?

No reason why we can't start anew. Smee had mentioned that he'd seen this on another site, but they didn't even finish the 2nd round. We probably did well to get as far as almost completing the third.

We could start a new one - with just 3 or 4 characters, but any number of contributors. At least then we might have more chance of finishing the characters and not need to depend on 8 individuals to be around all of the time....

Or... we could just pick 3 or 4 of what has been developed so far, and then whoever is available can chip in and finish them off through the remainder of the 8 rounds...

Just a thought... Smile

I think it might be a little weird with more authors than characters. Would some people not write each round? I do see the point of fewer characters though.

What if, instead, we have multiple character groups? Pick a few of the people who have been here for a while, you, T-bird, me, and we can start our own circles. That way we'd still have enough characters for everyone to participate, but we'd still have a big enough pool so we could pinch hit while still keeping the circles small.

The problem though, is that it's a lot of work. And I don't have the pleasure of writing with all of you.

Yeah, we need the minimum amount of work - both for organising and for the actual writing.

3 or 4 rounds (rather than 8) would mean there'd be more chance of finishing the characters. Maybe each one could deal with a specific aspect of personality.

The people who actually write for the rounds would just be whoever's there at the time who wants to/has the time to do it.

If there are more people who want to write, then we could just add extra rounds.

And of course we need someone who's up for running it. Smile
