Oooh! I've never heard of that/them before. *makes note* Sounds interesting, and it'd work too. If it's necessary for the story that characters meet, I'm sure something could be worked out then. ^-^
When it comes to writing for me, I build a little, start writing and build more as I go along. Sometimes there are pauses to create more background or to think something through before continuing, but most of the time it all goes hand in hand.
For something like this, they'd need to be worked out at least roughly. Enough to give people a framework, but enough to give them room to fool around it. Above all, it should be fun to do.
So... Next question, if we're going to go through with making writing more fun/versatile again, where do we do it? Stay with personal LJs, revamp talechasing, make a new community?
coastwallker is right about the calendar challenge. ^-^ For me, it was the time restraint. ^-^; I wasn't sure I was going to be able to finish on time, so I chose not to participate. It did sound like a lot of fun, though, and had some great results. ^-^ Things like that would be lovely to see more often. (And, in my case, really, participating. There's still trees unwritten, no?)
