Thomas, Maltuin

Agreed but just to make sure I'm clear, programs such as irc or even the good old mail are still very important too

I am not entirely sure if he is joking but I think Mr. Fox would prefer to be known as something other than Adair at present. Although I agree that these securities are important, text also makes more room for deception in the sense of implied versus literal meaning. In study it is accepted that the words we say make up less than half of the information we communicate, facial/bodily language are another part (video) and tone of voice (audio/voice) rhetoric is something that requires assumption or verbal cues, do text literary elements such as this, sarcasm, and sardonic is sometimes mistranslated or misunderstood. Also text makes it easier to hide ones gender. Although personal information, it could have an influence on topics you feel comfortable discussing with certain individuals. I don't mean to imply anything here but I do wish to state that the way I see it, all three forms of communication are important and somewhat necessary in their respective roles. I respect your decision not to chat outside text based communication, but without voice I can never get to know or trust you the way I could if I could better verify the validity of who you claim to be.

By sketch, he doesn't mean drawing by the way. By sketch we mean to say, outline a rough draft of character that can be adapted to fit different settings plots etc. although if you are so inclined, feel free to make a drawing . Someone will need to illustrate a cover at the very least anyway.

OK I've asked direlda and Salem who confirmed. So if all goes well we will meet tonight. Any who can join us on Skype feel free. There isn't a set time but it will probably be between 8p.m and 12:00 am cst for Greenwich time, add six hours.

I just need to know when and where. I have a severe hunger at this point. Gotta let the characters out does Tuesday night work for you both?

OK this will end before it's begun without communication and proactively, so in the spirit of motivation and perseverance, anyone care to try again this week?

I am sometimes available at 6 cet however I'm usually free anywhere between 7am CET and 3pm CET. Also, I am super excited about the collaborative fiction meet tonight, hope we have a group tonight! What fun!

You can use PayPal to send money only if the recipient has an account I think

Also schiz, I don't have any real experience writing, but I have always had stories or character that were Complex. This could be a chance for some of us to learn together. And it will be easier with friends to build off one another. Yay edification! However no one is pressuring you : 3

I just remembered a book that might fit here. Can't remember of I finished it but it's good. An award winner. "incident at hawk's hill"

I did actually intend to mention, I can't play on pc yet but I hope to have a computer around February

I would just like to note that as Direlda says, it was our specific intention to make no concrete deciscions. We (or at least I) just wanted to move forward somehow. This project will take time, but we can do nothing without "starting." So just for emphasis, nothing, including characters, are intended as absolute. Just trying to get some momentum. I personally look forward to working with those who participate as creativity sometimes flows better in the prescence of other creativity. Its kinda like gravity. and yay

Personally I would prefer to be grieved by mobs and lose my items. Me and my Xbox buddies got to the point where hard mode was too easy. And yay Redstone

So schiz is on board yes?

Making a conlang could be cool. I recently considered a future edit on Spanish to make a fictional language for a possible story. Tu comprende este? Qual idiomas tu sabes o quieres aprender

Welcome to Christianfurs.net! I'm Thomas Maltuin, the Maltese Tiger with a big mouth, nice to meet you!

Tuesdays are great for me.

In the meantime I think we could make "some" progress here. But I'll pretty much be available on Skype, irc, whatever all night, mon, tue, wed. But if the rest of you all determine other times, then I might can work around. However we can't discuss times so much without knowing who else is on board. Right now we know, myself, salem, and direlda. No one else has said much past stating their initial interest. X<

Yes but in that instance I think we might lose the meaning of the center column implying that you or me are the protagonists of our own story.

Okay so who all is on board? And do we want to all write separate stories within the same world, write a big story together or take turns writing sections. I have read recently, that a pair of authors once collaborated a book, taking turns writing one sentence at a time. We can do this however we feel comfortable. How do you all want to move forward? We need - a plot -a world name -race description -history behind the world (optional ) -a map -a theme -symbolism ideas -fictional language construction -concept art

I agree with you fully, I occasionally do read aloud, and I have argued with myself on plurality and arrangement a lot. At this point I'm considering stripping the whole section between perhaps and protagonist. I like the plurality of histories with the singular protagonist. because depending on which column or section you read, it has a different quality about it. Instead of histories have shaped, the protagonists, it is more like the thought "histories have shaped the idea of a protagonist" it's more a concept of character in this situation, rather than a literal. It's like all protagonists are unified together into one entity. I have tried, manifest, manifests, manifesting and manifestation. Something big needs to change. I think the last was a cut up that I smoothed out. I need to break out the online thesaurus for this project.

I was trying to do that but more complicated. I was hoping to make all three columns readable across and down. However what you showed me is similar to what I was trying kind of but made me think why not make left and right lists, And then make center fluid, as well as reading across? I'll try soon, but I work tonight. I hope you both follow or check back as this is a lot of fun. :3 *hugs new language mentors, squeezing too tightly* EDIT* actually direlda what I said IS exactly what you demonstrated. *Thomas facepaws*

apparently i like too many posts but, I LIKE IT, cool beans cody :3

I definitely want clarity, I'm incoherent enough on my own [emoji14]
