    Jeedai Master Yoda,

    Council_of_Trent your brother is? Received his sample, I have. Impressed with it, I am, but no further here will I such things discuss. If Yoda you wish to be, then your own sample must you send. Of 500 words will it be, no shorter and in the third-person you shall write it, hmm? Lam1024@aol.com my email is, and to there you must send what you have written; show me what you have learned....yes...hmmm....Of time that is free, of hearing I am pleased, but to consider the commitment of this Order you must. In doing so, fail you cannot. Terrible is the burden to others, if not avaliable their kinsman is. Terrible burden is that...But my thanks to you are given; your interest highly valued, it is. May the Force be with you.

    Council_of_Trent,

    I don't really know what you mean when you ask "when we plan on actually starting" because the writing never really stops, it just moves to another situation with new characters picked up long the way. If this didn't answer your question, I'm sorry, and please do ask me again. But I'll know who will be joining the chat and who will not once I have shown a person's sample paragraph to all the voting members of the chat. Since I have your sample paragraph, Trent, I've already showed it to three people. :) You'll find out the results once I have gotten a hold of the rest of our members -s- It shouldn't be more than a few days, now.

    Snowbee_wan_kenobi,

    As for EP2 characters, if you name a random 20 names, probably 19 need players, so just pick your favorite few and ask me specific names -s- And I got your sample writing and have shown it to three writers in our chat already - once I get a hold of the rest, you'll get an email from me. -s-

    EmilieDarklighter,

    I'm sorry about the delay in my responce, we had a power outage at the house. But as for you writing Mara Jade, our chat would be utterly thrilled to have someone play that character. :) Indeed, I would highly encourage you to send your 500 word writing sample (in third-person) to my email at Lam1024@aol.com.

    I'm looking forward to your submission. -s-

    when will you expect your scouted members to begin participating in writing? or have you already written some amongst yourselves? really, when does it start getting displayed? Is it when you have selected a certain number of writers or characters? I just wanted to know when I should start looking for the warning to post new "episodes", or whatever they will be called.

    Council_of_Trent,

    Scouted members may participate in writing any time after they receive their email to let them know of their acceptance the chat address. We have already written among ourselves since 1999, and new members will be helped getting their characters into the already moving plot. There is no definite number of new people we are hoping to get - we wish to recruit only those who we think will mesh well with what we already have and bring more to the chat. But the more the merrier, neh? After your sample of writing is considered by all the people in our chat, and their vote is given, you will receive an email letting you know whether you have been accepted or not. If accepted, you will be given the address to the chat and you may begin writing any time after that. I hope this answers your questions. -s-

    I can do that. And it's perfectly all right. We we're experiencing harsh storms until a few hours ago.

    Is there anything specific you want in the samples? Anything you want to be shown, or done?

    Thanks again,

    Emmi

    Council_of_Trent,

    Your writing sample has already been read by several of our writers, yes. And the writing we have done among ourselves is all saved and if you join us, you will of course be given copies of it-s- We have perfect copies that go back about two years, and incomplete RPs before that. -l-

    Thank you for asking,

    -Wren

    Princess1,

    I'm so glad to hear you are sending me your sample.-s- Anything over 500 words is just fine :) But, unfortunately, the address of the site where we write is a tightly held secret, so that the address will only be given out to those who are invited to join, and it expected to be kept a close secret by them as well. Not to exclude people who want to write, but to keep out spammers and all the mess that would disrupt the writing. -l- I hope you understand.

    EmilieDarklighter,

    In the samples all we are looking for are the intangible things like writing style - there are a hundred types and each one make work in our chat in a different way - and for the more tangible things like your grammar, how you tell your story, and how you can express your character. That last requirement would be the largest, in my opinion. But other than these general topics, I don't really know anything else that would be a requirement for you.

    Thank you for asking -s-

    Can I play a trashy red-headed smuggler with too many kids and a tendancy to cheat on her boyfriends?

    ;) Just kidding, o Evil One. By the way...let Ki go. Brook needs guidance.

    TwistyMaeSkywalker,

    You can only play a trashy red-headed smugger if I'm allowed to play a naive farm-boy with too many kids and a tendancy to send his girlfriends into homicidal depression -s-

    Do you mean let Ki go as in Ani let Ki go, or Ani's player let Ki's player go? All the double meanings - it makes life so hard-L-

    alright, but only if the kids names are either Saide, Ben, or Eli. And if those kids have to spend the rest of their lives in therapy because of their screwed-up parents.

    Both meanings. Have Ani let Ki go or Brook will get mad and pout. And so will Brook's player if Ani's player doesn't let Ki's player come and cheer her up.

    My brain has now exploded. Have a nice day!

    TwistyMaeSkywalker,

    The kids names are ALWAYS Sadie, Ben and Eli. -g- And I'm paying their therapy bills already, curse them....

    Both meanings, though? I can do the first...my dear character does have his psychological problems he'll have to sate elsewhere soon enough...but as for the latter...I'm not withholding Ki's player - that's totally not under my jurisdiction. -L- He'll be on tonight though, and I'll be gone at 7, so you'll have him to yourself-L-

    he's always mine, Wren, and you know it. but thank you for having Ani let him go.

    um, that concludes this insight into the psyche of two T1 writers.
