Group Fanfiction.
Group Fanfiction.
I've seen all of these fanfictions on this forum; most of them are pretty good, but not quite at a professional level. A group effort at a good piece of literature sounds, to me at least, like a good idea. However as of now, it's just an idea. If it needs to bloom into something of reality, I need to know who would be willing to participate and what jobs they would like to do. Characters, of course, will be from the HP side (subject to discussion), and will remain at PG and below (not subject to discussion).

Re: Group Fanfiction.
I could provide Ideas, I suppose.
Re: Group Fanfiction.
Hmm... this actually does sound like an interesting idea. If nothing else, I'd volunteer to be a proofreader/editor. You know, put my grammar-Nazism to good use. :3

I'd like to leave this topic here for a couple days, and then at the end of it get everyone together and talk about it.

Re: Group Fanfiction.
Interested.
I like writing and editing
I can do scenery descriptions, dialog, inner thoughts and feelings. (Have yet to test myself on action sequences)
In editing I'm good at keeping the author's style of writing in place.

Re: Group Fanfiction.
a group of fiction sounds like a very unique concept- although I don't have much to offer in the skill department(I'm pretty sure most chimpanzees can write better than me). - I wouldn't mind assisting with a few setting descriptions.

Re: Group Fanfiction.

Re: Group Fanfiction.
I need to check the Fan Projects thread more often. I don't exactly know what I would be able to do, but I do want to help somehow.

I'd say Skype(IM only, as I use my computer in a common area of the house) or AIM.Souji wrote:any preferred methods of communication?
Re: Group Fanfiction.
Skype could work.
Also, I'm told I do action sequences well. So, if that comes up, dibs.

Yes I agree skype is the best way to do it. I know a few of are already using skype to review each others fictions .
Re: Group Fanfiction.
Skype works for me, although time zones may/may not be an issue depending on who gets involved.

Re: Group Fanfiction.
It'd probably be best if we post our skype addresses as well. housedog7 is mine.
We can also use the thread in Not the Comic for it, but we have to make sure all of our Skype addresses are listed there.

Re: Group Fanfiction.
but there's a thread in the not the comic section with Skype addresses. that could be used.
Re: Group Fanfiction.
This all sounds like a neat idea, but I know that it can be really hard to coordinate group projects like this. Especially writing, because it usually reflects the author, and if many people get involved, there are likely to be opposing opinions on the different aspects of the story. I don't want to sound like I'm raining on your parade or anything though; I'd love to read the result of this.

Re: Group Fanfiction.
You could always partition certain storylines and/or chapters, like in other books made by a collection of authors. That way, each chapter, instead of each concept put in action, can have a unique tone.
Having one person, say, write the scenery, another provide narrative, and another providing dialogue will probably produce wildly inconsistent content, in both grammar and tone. Unless, perhaps, you have a very good editor, but even then that's a big 'perhaps.'

You'd have to ask him that. I'm not aware of anything, but I haven't exactly been looking.

I'm all for this idea as long as it ain't shipping.
