I call upon the summon spirit aska, al the weird, a couple of guys from the bar across the street, and the color green! Reanimation! *poof*

Ignoring storyscape for the time being, I found some stories on btr that were interesting. I liked (ignore the past tense) Highstakes, The sunburst project, and the fate game. Someone will have to explain the fate games story characters to me though, I've never played final fantasy and am not all that eager to see the length of the fanfic. Oh, and give me some time to read the rest of highstakes.

If anything, I'd like to get the sunburst project reanimated. Anyone interested? Anyone here?

Oh, and I would like to throw in the option to give more than one week, if anyone else thinks that may be needed.

Heh. Well, given that not many other people seem to want to participate, anyone interested could probably set whatever deadline they wanted. However, someone once said, "Restrictions breed creativity"...;)

I think it was "restriction is the antagonist of procrastination"

Actually I just made that up.

Well that's two people so far, that's enough to start something if your asking me. Also, any way to take off or go around the last chapter of tmi? It just seems so.....out of place. It ties everything together all in one chapter, not to mention I don't recall meimi ever waking up and dealing with that reality. Either the author was confused or she was working to confuzzle everyone else. I also don't think meimi ever named the blue guy blueberry...should I just e-mail you the rant or is here fine?

What's the Q stand for? Quark? John Quark Evans?

I don't know what the Q stands for, you'd have to ask ElRutt. But I wouldn't wait around for a sensible answer. :P

Let me tell you a little about how collaborative stories often work. You go through a cycle where some authors introduce new plot elements, and then other authors tie them together and make it all make sense.

The interesting thing is that even if you think an author is tying everything up, often there are things they have left open. If you think what they wrote doesn't quite fit with an earlier chapter, then that's something you can explore in a later chapter. So these things can be opportunities. Just look for opportunities and explore. ;)

I guess I'll start off with an addition to tmi, taking into consideration the page numbers at the end of 2 and at the beginning of 3.

Expect delays.

I will get it done! Every time I make a deadline I forget about it.

Deadlines are a great motivating tool. IF you remember them...;)
