Misterlaby, if you need to have a chat with him, abeg use the chatroom. This thread was created for a reason na.

Obinnau, Please help clean up the thread; having to go through all these being said when we should already be setting up a plot could dumb down all the morale.

Lol! Finally.

Oga, we need your writing skills. Larry's starting another collaboration thread - you game?

Thanks for the recommendation.
@Larry, I don't really think I can participate in this year's collaboration. But if there's anyway I can help in the planning, plots, directing or any contribution, please do let me know, I'll be glad to help.

socially4fun:
Any room for upcoming writers?
That been said I'd like to see maziOmenuko feature in this project.

Thanks for the mention.

Okay, sir. Thanks for the gesture. What advice would you give? Should we make a plot outline or just write as it comes?

And, Frank316 has been changed to Frank317.

LarrySun darling, I sight you. Kindly don't engage anyone, you're a better person than that. Out of their bellies flow rivers of bitter water and if you sip of it, your soul will be corrupted.

Beautiful line.

Aunt Ishi, won't you also tell us a story? Aren't you going to be a participant?

LarrySun:
Let's forgive his sins.

We should begin to discuss our project. Surely, the theme should not centre on sexuality.

Permit me tomention the other participants here.

OluwabuqqyYOLO, Royver, llaykorn, Slap1, Greeneyes, Dygeasy, Divepen1, Oahray, Nuges11, Sveen.

Let's discuss what we should write. Should there be a plot outline? Or should we write as the spirit leads? What do you guys think?

How many days interval should we give between chapters?

Myndd44 and Fembleez1, your suggestions are welcome, too. smiley


If you ask me,I think writing as the 'spirit leads' will be more intriguing.It gives room for out of the box thinking and will allow the participants to explore all possible chances.

Participants will sweat it out,and in their ashes will be born new ideas to make the project an epic battle of word.

Hi Larrysun. I'm scared things could go wrong along the way if we decide to write without a plot outline, no matter how brief. I believe a that a few more amateur writers - like me - were admitted on the train this year, than have ever been in previous years, so it would be too a risky venture to go into the collaboration without even at least a very brief plot outline. By that, we can know where exactly our destination is. Surely, an excessively detailed plot would do us nothing except for the smothering of the blazing fires of our imaginations, but a fairly detailed one sure would do us a lot of good - in my opinion.

Plot Outline: Scalar Quantity (direction only) Without 'PO': Vector Quantity (magnitude and direction)

Go back a few meters and take a right turn. That's where you'll find the science and technology section. smiley

Nice. Your points has been noted, sir. The 'spirit leads' writing is usually very intruiging; but the story could been brought to a whinnying-whoa if a writer writes out of turn. If we should adopt this system, I hope such occurrence would not suffice.

A wonderful suggestion, sir! I think you've. I think this sums up all there is to it. A plot outline that barely scratches the surface would point writers in the right direction without having to lose the suspenseful taste the readers would like to savour.

Let's see if anybody has any dissenting opinion.
