New Writer's Group from this Board
« on: October 23, 2006, 09:56:52 PM »
Ok, if I set up an invite-only BB for the authors here to write stories and post for each other, would people be interested?

This is nothing Jim-Official, just us getting together.

Phil Boswell has given us an unintentional challenge:
" How much mileage could you realistically get out of a protagonist who is good at reducing themselves to dripping goo?"

While the board would be open to helping anyone with any story, I was thinking about having writing assignments, to push people...that could be the first one

Sounds like it could be fun, now I just had a thought, but since I'm not really very good at the sciences, I thought I'd check it (yes, this does pertain to this by the way).

I know that matter cannot be destroyed, only changed, now, since this goo would be less dense than a human being, the area that he/she covered in goo form would be greater would it not? I'm having ideas of drowning people in goo...

I'd be interested.  A pile of goo?  Hmmm....  Have to think on that one.

I'm working on setting up a board. Bear with me. It'll probably be about 10 days or so.

Wouldn't *that* be a powerful scene?

...I am reminded of both Alucard from Hellsing and a character I once created for an X-Men RP by the codename of Quicksilver who could - guess what - turn himself into goo (with other varying he could do with that power).  If this is the first writing assignment, I may have to pull that character out of the depths of my brain where he's been buried for about 5 or 6 years and dust the poor dear off.

*Happy Dance*   ;D  Even more reason to write!  I'm all up for that, though I'll probably look like a little dork next the experienced writers on the board.   ;)

I have to build the board, first, and I'm in training the next two weeks...I'm going to try to sneak one in.

It's going slow, guys, sorry. Between training and a nasty bug that's going around, I'm abit on the exhausted side.

But I WILL get this up and running. I just want to do it right, which includes typing up an email everyone who gets a pw will have to agree to before they get that password (stuff like "I will not pilfer other's ideas, I understand that if my idea is pilfered, it's not the board's fault, ect"...stupid semi-legal stuff).
