Join the Writing Table! discussion

For our group book, I have compile a list of things that have already been decided and ideas that we're already said. These ideas and thoughts can be changed or written out as we discuss them here. So please do shy away from speaking your mind.

Ideas so far:

Idea by Chloe- How about all the characters live in a magical land but then a dragon takes it over and they're all freaking out BUT THEN a mysterious rain cloud appears and starts raining down heroes to help them?!

To the future where they get attacked by a bunch of wombats! Or to the past where they fight dragons. Or both. Then we could call it Past, Present, Future or something.

How about we just keep going around with chapters. You know, every chapter is from the POV of one of our characters. That's how collaborate stories normally work.

Idea by Ashley-- They can be any species of paranormal creatures

Idea by Iesha- They character can come together via bonds- couples or siblings, or buddies, etc. Like I need someone to want to couple up with my character.

We will be doing a chapter on a character they will be making-like the profiles in the other thread. They will be writing about the character's history and then we will bring all characters together in some way

Idea by Mary- I've got an idea! Maybe all our "good" characters have special blood which will help them fight the demons which had overrun the land. Naturally since there will be a big cast of protagonists then the antagonists will have to be just as vast in power so the demons/unpure ones (werewolf and vampires etc who aren't all necessarily bad but are looked at in a bad lights) are all children of the big bad god (who has been imprisoned -sort of like gaia in HOO)

Idea by Assaad- The last people make a final alliance, and fight back the evil stuff! But some of them die in the fight and are later put in history books. So the book can probably end by one of the characters reading to his son at night, and then the son is like :"Dad were you a hero?" and then the dad is like:" no I wasn't, but I fought with a band of heroes." And then in the last sentence we show a picture of the victorious dead who gave their lives to save the world.

Assaad's idea

For the land: I have no idea, but we can all pitch in ideas

Creatures: We use both real creatures and made up ones, giants, trolls, gnomes, dwarves, gryphons, and humanoid ( Or made up creatures as well).

And guys we could also add different cities combining many kinds of fantasy. example: One city can be in the trees for elves, one can be in a mountain for dwarves, one can be a human steampunk city, one can be like gondor or rohan in the lord of the rings, in addition to so many possibilities :p We could even add Atlantis and a wizard tower

And so each person will write about one character, and in the end we build a plot line so that they all meet together, some good guys, some bad ones, and then we can begin a series of adventures.

So now each one of you guys suggest his/her character, and we can place them in cities. Some characters will live in the same city and will be friends/enemies, and then they all unite for a common cause and leave the

For example: What if an evil empire is slowly taking over the cities and the lands, and then the characters all unite to save the kingdoms, and we can make one or two of the characters join the enemy for a nice plot twist, we could also make it that black magic is slowly engulfing the land and making the people corrupt, except for some people who all join in one city that will later be referred to as the white city, etc.

Thoughts that are already decided:

°The story genre will be fiction. Fantasy(meaning werewolves, elves, vampires, witches, dragons, humans, etc.) with be included in our story because the majority seems to be interested in this genre and it will become a lot easy for everyone.
°The story will be written in third person due to the many characters that will be involved. However, depending on the way things occur, this rule can be changed, but it depends.
°Character background(Meaning their history which may or may not show up in the over all story, must be filled out before you enter the character in the story. This mean that everyone may have their own thread to showoff their character. This isn't a real requirements yet.
°I will make thread that will be chapters in which two people, at a time, will be working on.
