i've sent him a PM back when Ceillean posted but so far it remains unread...

i had an idea as well, how about creating a sock for this fic and moving the entire thing over to a new thread with all story in a first post, the length of the fic so far could be off putting new readers. what do you lot think?

I think it's a great idea.
Instead of the entire story in one post though (since it might be a very, very long post), maybe just linking it to the old thread would be enough?

Just a thought.

Another post! wink I think we need to spice this story up a bit.
So I introduced another character.

I thought that we could maybe try and make him a sort of bad-ass of the group? Big mouth and all? Someone to totally tick Kadiea off? grin

EDIT: and another thought: should we round off this next "chapter" so we can start the new thread?

Just added another post...and introduced a new little twist. wink

I think we should conclude the current thread with our heroes escaping from the clutches of Darth Caedus, and then we can pick up from there in the new thread. Does that sound like a plan?

Sounds like a great plan. Whoever feels like it should go ahead and open up a new thread, I think. Just let us know over here and post the link.

I went ahead and opened up a second thread, which can be found here:

An Unfolding Mystery Part II

Let's hope we can find a few new people to participate.

I've already posted the first sentence. It looks like a fun idea.

Can I recommend a slight change to our postings of additional storyline.

I think that it would be best to up slightly the amount of additional storyline that we can add. I believe that making it up to a paragraph would help draw in more participants plus allow those posting to come up with better additions to the story.

This is what I did with my latest post, so I hope that we can all agree that it helps out the story more by doing this. If not, then I will probably not be posting any longer. Sometimes, I think that everyone needs more than one sentence to update the story for a better storyline outcome. Please consider what I suggest.

It's a good idea, Sith! That way the story might flow along more smoothly.
I'll change the rules then.

Thanks for your suggestion!

I like that idea. I do think limiting each post to only one sentence is too constricting.

not that we've always folloed that rule religiously anyway looking back over part one...

and also so are we now going with Kadiea is Jaina or OC version anyway?

Good question, since the first draft of rules stated mainly OC's. ^^
I dislike Jaina so much, but I can live with this. tongue

I guess since Caedus' sister has already been introduced, I suppose we'll stick with Jaina. But not necessarily as a main character. I'd suggest talking about her but not actually bringing her into the picture full blow.

We need to change the "flow" of this story.
All in all I think it's okay wanting to continue the story where we left off, but

a)no one else will join, since they'd have to read the entire the first part of the story, and I don't think anyone will. Hence why we decided to start a second part.

b)I don't think we should dwell on Kadiea and her friends. In the first part she was our main character but, as said above, having no one else know about her, we should think about moving the story into a different direction.

Feedback please!
