Apologies to all writing partners both current & prospective. Been sick for two weeks straight (and have to go to work regardless). No energy. Can't think straight. Taking a hiatus. Sorry again.

Where's the personality? The flavor? the drama? The struggle? The humanity? The texture of the time and the place in which this conversation is happening? In a word: where's the story?

Thanks for setting a deadline. Now I'll find the motivation to actually get off my ass and do it 👌 no sarcasm

I was about 30%-ish through my first app and I lost it, so I'm starting from scratch, but I'll get it in on time for sure
You can't create all that build-up and then just leave us hanging

I think he was talking about "collab posts" where several people enter a PiratePad room or download a Google Doc and then all work together on writing the same post. In theory we do it to give everyone a simultaneous chance to respond to the scene but more often it serves to muddle together several incompatible writing styles until the piece seems to have no clear "voice" at all outside the matter-of-factness of the events happening therein.
Comma splices are worse than Hitler. That is all.

Edit: Nah, I'll expound eventually. My two biggest writing peeves both revolve around punctuation.
I just didn't see the point in spouting points already made at someone who already conceded to them:

While I agree with most of the rest, I must say I respectfully disagree [with this passage].

Your philosophy is different, it would seem.
Notice there's never any birds around anymore ... used to be birds. Singin' in the morning to wake you up. Singin' at night, lookin' for girl birds to meet up with. Kinda sad.

<Snipped quote by pugbutter>

And the worst side of free roleplay are uninspiring posts condensed into one or two sentences.

This argument goes for literally any of the sections -- and at that point becomes a non-argument. What you are saying here is much less an argument than 'bad writing is bad writing.'


And Haley already agreed with those. Pointing them out is a tautology.
Yeah, yeah. As long as that sort of villainous role will see conflict, I'm eager to try something a little different.

But middle-management are the worst kind of people...


I know; they're the everyday villain
I was thinking more logistical stuff — keeping the party fed, maintaining its finances, grooming its public image ...

An army marches on its stomach yadda yadda
