I think with the fan works we should have more collaborations to encourage members to work with each other and create things. I'm try to work on a interactive story for Redwall on textadventures and will eventually need voice actors for the characters. I think that projects that we can all pitch in and work on together would help the Fan Works Board.

Well, that idea was going to happen, but the company that owns Redwall shut it down...

I do like the idea however.
I want the world of Tolkien,
The message of Lewis;
The adventure of Jacques,
And the heart of Milne.
But I want the originality of me.

Collaboration is excellent. We must find some way to promote it.

There was a fan fiction in which any member could continue the story by posting one by one. It's called "Pass Along Fan Fiction" or something along those lines, but it died off a while back. Perhaps we can start up a thread like that again?

Thanks, MatthiasMan, for the avatar!

Part of the issue I see with that is how many different styles of writing people have, so it kinda turns people off on it if one person enjoys writing slower, more deliberate segments whereas another person might spontaneously add another character in some fast-paced and pointless battle.

I have an idea. We could have a fan fiction contest and the winner gets a drawing of their character of choice. Or the other way around, an art contest and the winning artist gets a fan fiction of the character they drew.
Just pretend there is something interesting and unique written here... I have nothing to say.

Well, that's the idea. So far, I believe, we are planning to do a bit of a variation on the usual: all participants will write about the same character, which is yet to be created.

Now, for prizes, we have something by Edraithel and something by Skarzs. We need at least one more prize. I think we should be a bit more specific. What type of art? Of what? That, at least, we need to organize.

Maybe a scene from their story or a type of book cover for their story? I am not really strong in this part.

Now we get to the fun part... Decisions!

So... Who makes the character? Easy! We integrate it into the contest! Those who enter submit a character to the contest. The winning character is chosen randomly from those characters which qualify, and then everyone writes about that character. The choice fanfic authors receive the prizes.

Now to the prizes- Do we want to offer artwork based on the characters submitted? Based on the actual writing? Free choice? What other possible prizes could we include to add variety?

This all sound good to everyone?

Sure! But will we chose the character randomly, or based on certain qualities? The rest sounds great to me!

Some of both sounds good... That way, as long as everyone is willing to take the time to make a good character, they have a reasonable chance of theirs being chosen. Depending on the amount of people we have join, we could pick the top three or five that would make the best story and go random from there.

I can draw the character as the animal that they are but I could also do a humanized version as well. I can try and make gif of the character to mix things up. Maybe a main pic of the character and then a front view, 3/4 view, and back view.

Right. I'll ask Skarzs what he can do.

I like this idea. Don't know if I'll be able to write a story, though; we'll see.
