I'm okay with this BUT I would rather maybe we have a list so to speak of storylines because we're not always going to have an idea (this non-canon storyline ended up having pretty much all three of the storyline I've been wanting to do in it lol). I'd rather just personally be able to put up an idea when I have one instead of wracking my brain cause oh shit it's my turn lol. And we could have ideas we want to keep for ourselves but there may be ones we'd be fine having someone else do if it involves their character or they're stuck for an idea. Just a thought, but like I said I'm fine just going around the circle too.
well yes. players can submit ideas to me as they occurr & ill store them (i have a folder on here just for that now lol) & then when i can pull from the list as need. We won't have to go in a circle per se. But even if we are in the midst of one story & someone has an idea for a future one, they can submit it to me & then we can use it later. I still have some things from Garrick that we'll be using soon. then itll give me & the player time to prep etc.
I think maybe we need to define extended period?
longer than a week or two weeks? & give an estimated time of return or @ least PM followup for future status.
Are we going to have something in place if someone just doesn't get online for a day or two? Cause sometimes they don't know ahead of time or shit just happens and they can't get on even to pm?
in days past, we'd just go ahead & the person would come on (usually lexi
) & say "damn you all posted all this crap now i gotta catch up" lol! so what do you suggest?
Do you mean to say that we wouldn't use ALL our characters everytime? If so, I'm fine with that because I like playing different characters. But I do think it should somewhat be up to the person whether they want to play their character or not. At least have a discussion about it, like, "I haven't played so and so for a while and I'd really like to add them into this storyline rather than play someone new."
i think this would be more related to non canon stories now that i look @ it. there's more room & flexibility in those.
in mainstream, if players want to revisit an old character (who isnt so DEAD that i can find a way to credibly bring them back lol), change characters completely & put their current character on hiatus etc...just pm me so we can discuss it & work it in so is not to ruin a storyline that's going on.
im thinking about teams like the Avengers or X-men, who have large, rotating rosters. So maybe the flexibility of changing characters will help keep a person's interest going. & for those like me who play multiple characters, It'll help give me someone new to bounce off of & keep my creativity going.
I don't know what I feel about this. I like alternate storylines, but I'm not sure (especially if we will be moving faster) that I want to be doing them ALL the time. Like above I will go with the group, but maybe we should just do it when we all feel the need for a break, kind of like we have been really. Rather than a set number. Or maybe we just wait for someone to have a great AU idea.
true. we did our first non canon story following SET b/c that was an intense storyline that had wide reaching impact in mainstream & we all needed a break from that lol. we'll keep the non canon stories less frequent b/c they're like a treat for us. BUT if there's a character that makes a big splash that might be a good crossover into mainstream, i'm open to that as well :nod: we've already had some examples of that like w/ Persephone & Firebird.
