LOL, c'mon you guys, why so formal, this is supposed to be a relaxing experience! And, I would love to have you on a project like this, and I understand many of your concerns. Of course, as I've seen in the past, SHATTERED was a very very rigid construction, and we would all spend hours in AIM chats and whatnot talking about what was going to happen, which would of course lead to the many hours of fun time with Silvermane hopped up on Dr. Pepper (a very scary but humorous thing) and us just talking about whatever. Sure, it'll take planing and a lot of hard work, but all things that are worth doing are. And blah blah, sure I know I talk a lot about how "wonderful" SHATTERED was, but it wasn't even really the writing that made it amazing, it was the experience with everyone else that I had, and it was a very enjoyable one at that. So, on that note, time for another story.
Just an FYI, I'm 18 right now (just entering college) which would mean that when I joined the board, and subsequently the story, i was only 16. Most of the other writers were from 18-24, with some inside and outside of that. But something that I believe and something that is very important is that it doesn't matter how good or bad you are as a writer, its that you get involved and enjoy it. My skills improved tenfold from the time I began the story until the end, only because I wished to not only improve, but seeing the others as an example, getting help and techniques, improved how it is. The ability to write, especially to write well, is very important in the world of today, and while many can learn it in a boring matter in class in school, why not have a little fun with it? One of the main reasons I loved SHATTERED so much was because there were tons of people working on it, and we all worked together to make it perfect. It was just as much Helbaworshipper's story as it was mine, or anyone else's, because without each part and each personality of the different posts, it could have never been what it became. I won't lie, SHATTERED literally changed my life and who I was to be something much greater through friendship and hard work, as well as my writing skills, and I have always wished to share this experience with others.
Heh, so having said that, it should be me begging you to work along side me so that we can create something wonderful. The PMs for the old .hack//SHATTERED are already filling my inbox something fierce, so I may have to work on that today, but I am more than willing to partake in something like this. Just remember, this really isn't an official "RP" because its a co-op fanfic. Basically, the way I like to write as well as have others do is rather than limit themselves to a single character, say "alright, here is the situation, continue from here and then allow the story to be continued by someone else" which allows anyone to take the whole story universe and everything in it, have all the characters at their disposal, as well as take the story wherever they like as long as it continues on the general direction. Kind of like with SHATTERED, we had a beginning and an end, but we had no idea how to get there, so we just played it by ear until we somehow managed to get to the end.
Anyway, its a wonderful thing to know you'd be interested, since believe me the more people working on it the better. As far as timing goes, many people know me as someone who never sleeps, lol, so I'll adjust for you guys if you'd like, I'm commonly up super late here, so it'll be nothing different. I'll probably start up a thread somewhere about people who are interested (since it would be more of a writing piece rather than an RP it'll probably end up in the creative writing section for the sake of keeping this place organized) but if you know anyone, get them together so we can start thinking about it. Like I said, I am more than happy to have you on-board, so lets get started!
Oh, and one more thing... thank YOU.
