Alright, so the main thing I'm curious about is the actual mechanics of it. There's two of us, each with our own characters. What I've done before is just that we each control our own characters– basically, interactions went like this:

someone might say:
Name1: Where am I? Hello?

and then someone would reply something like:
Name2: *taps name1 on the shoulder* Hello there!

and then back to person1
Name1: *jumps* Ack!

I don't think we're doing it exactly like that, but the way this operated is that you could only control what your own characters were saying or doing- so you could only say so much at once, then you had to wait for the other person to respond. I'm pretty sure this is standard roleplaying mechanics, but hey, maybe not. This does make it a bit more lenghthy, but I feel like it's the easiest way?

also, if you need someone to react a certain way, like, if one of your characters had some sort of weird hypnosis or something idk, just explain it quick in brackets. Because if you started saying stuff like “and then so-and-so did such-and-such” you get the, oh… they're controlling my character… and then that's annoying. So yeah, if the other person's character HAS to do something, I'm fine with that, just say so and the other person will react themselves? Hope this makes sense <3

Have we talked about formatting? I think we said somewhere that we were gonna do it with like, novel form with all the proper “” and she said and did and all that, but just officially, that's what we're gonna do, right?

and I know this is a bunch of posts in a row, sorry–

You're probably asleep now but I just got back from practice. It's Easter weekend so no more practices. We'll talk more abt that last part tomorrow and hopefully start the RP
(also, I'm thinking of doing 3rd person for one character and 1st person (I just love 1st person, I'm sorry) for the other to avoid confusion. tell me ur thoughts plssss)

Oh wait ur on maybe? ;-; i cant tell.

ahhh so many post xD totally agree the with the brackets thing. we don't want overstepping or anything. Just communication. And yes basic formatting for a novel. If you want we can do like

Chapter 1: TITLE
(whoever goes could start typing)

that way if we ever want to copy our story somewhere, the format is much simpler and organized.

I've been on and off, was drawing for a while– and I'll be sleeping soon but:

I like the idea of keeping it in a format that we could easily copy to somewhere else and already have a nicely formatted story.That might be a reason to keep it all in the same POV, because then it'd be easier for furture readers (whether us or others) to understand.

I do also love first person, but I feel like the thoughts could get complicated (especially because my characters think a lot– I mean like the way I write first person) so it could just be easier to only have dialogue/actions/description? We can discuss more tho, and even try a few things and change it if it's not working <3

I'm thinking we should write some samples of a short story with our characters using different POVs. You know your characters so you can choose whatever POV is best for them and I'll do the same. We can read each other's stories and then ‘vote’ on which POV sounds better or smth. I don't know if I'm explaining myself correctly. The idea sounded a lot better in my head. (plus, no vball practice until April 1st so I should be active)

Alright I was trying to post something but forums got mad at me so here's two of my pieces with the trio in them, how I usually write them:

That's one of my writing threads… if you want you can read any of the other stuff on there. Some of it is like, unedited or speed ran or like 6 months old tho so bear that in mind xDD

it's okay lol xD

OH. MY. IT is sooooooo good. Oh please can we write first POV? ahhhhhh I love writing xD

TYSM!

Yeah I thought I had some 3rd person from them somewhere but I don't, and I realized how important all their thoughts are… I'll probably be switching around who's perspective I'm writing it from tho, maybe I'll announce at the top of the post?

Or how do you want to deal with that?

also gtg to bed soon bc my mom says so T-T. so I'll be inexplicably dissapearing soon.

Let's just do first person! Tomorrow we figure out how to start the story and then we begin the RP hopefully!!

I think I set a pretty good base for how my characters might run into yours with my backstories, but we need your side too before we start writing. Plus, I get out of school at noon tomorrow and then I'm on Easter break js so you know my activity on here

Ag sorry I didn't reply today's been busy– I'll get back to you tmr

Np! It's really chaotic when school's in session :'D

I want to write so bad. My fingers are just itching type. Almost like magic…
(lol)

okay I'm here now– what exactly do we need? Just a plan right… I feel like I'm forgetting smt. um.

How are your characters going to run into mine or vice versa? Once we figure that out, we can start writing!

It is Saturday.
It is the weekend.
Beautiful things happen during this time.
You do what you like, or nothing at all.
What you do or not is part of life.
It trashes you or lifts you up.
From the ground, like a bug.
Even if it's not your wish
This is your permanent commitment
The gift of life. a beautiful life
Time to start celebrating our gifts tonight.
(I was bored, so I wrote a weird poem/song I'm sorry loll :')
