The Round Table (A collaborative fiction thread)

[lantzblades]

I think the main story shouldn't for the sake of readers who don't read that stuff. I think one shots and sides etcetera are a place for that stuff and like I said it would be in continuity with the story just not in the main story itself. it just keeps things tasteful and classy.

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, OK, fair enough. I guess if any in-story sex happens we can just write it as an offshoot. It also means one of us doesn't get lumbered with writing a lemon chapter even if we don't want to....

[lantzblades]

Exactly, leave the lemon to the interested readers and writers. As for the stories I'm aimming for a lack of crap deaths in fate and inclusion for all the heroines in tsukihime

[Xamusel]

So, wait, do we take turns writing out chapters and such?  I just thought of this question and felt that it should be answered.

Also, where do we start writing the actual story content, guys?

On a side note, what crap deaths, lantz?

Yeah, I agree.

So, wait, do we take turns writing out chapters and such?  I just thought of this question and felt that it should be answered.

Yeah, that's the idea.

Also, where do we start writing the actual story content, guys?

Well, when we've decided the general outline and also if anyone else is going to join in.

On a side note, what crap deaths, lantz?

Well, Ilya in UBW, for example.

these would chapters in turn to create a story (unless it's a one shot or short aside) I write one chapter then mike writes a chapter and so on like that.

we'll discuss our aims for the start and then elect a writer to start the first chapter of the story

as for crap deaths in canon I'd say rider in ubw, ilya in same saber,caster,berserker and lancer in HF and so on.

[Xamusel]

Okay, I get it now, guys.

Thanks for clearing that one up.

[Cherry Lover]

Honestly, some of the servants probably will have to have somewhat "crappy" deaths, although I would agree we should minimise it as much as possible, particularly with the more popular and nice servants like Rider and Saber.

[Xamusel]

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with that, unfortunately.

[lantzblades]

characters can die i'm not against that, what i'm against is it being a shitty death. make the death count is what I mean.

[Xamusel]

Uh-huh.  I can understand.

Still, this shouldn't be like Nobody Dies, right?

[lantzblades]

Uh-huh.  I can understand.

Still, this shouldn't be like Nobody Dies, right?

the what now?

[Xamusel]

It's a popular Evangelion fanfic based around a concept that essentially says "What if nobody from the main series died?"

Also, the story is getting stale, from what I can understand.

[lantzblades]

wasn't around when I was in the fandom...sounds like I should be glad for that much.

and no it shouldn't be at the outset made to have no one die

[Xamusel]

Yes, lantz, be very glad that it wasn't around when you were in the fandom.

As for the other parts of this thread... when's the first chapter going to be written?  Do we have to decide among ourselves who gets the first shot?

I'd be more than happy to get a chapter written, but I need to know what you guys are expecting for chapter length, if anything.
