| | | DW, as always, is the best :)
I second Mag- thanks for the gracious invitation DW! I've never written anything like this before, but I would like to be involved. I may be inexperienced, but everyone has to start sometime, right? Quote: |

| | @Cuch,
lol!  Thanks
I'm very glad to see you, Magrus, Sytze and WBG expressing an interest, this should be a lot of fun! 
And indeed, don't worry about experience. Nobody here is a professional writer, and most of us had never done anything like this when we started off the original stories.

Maybe I can role-play a sober person, this IS fantasy after all. 
So is this all of the people that will be involved as of so far?

Well, I suspect that there may be more, but I figure, as BS mentioned, we can start things off this weekend and take it from there. We want the story to be very open, so if people join at a later point, this shouldn't be a problem.

| | A little slow to respond am I, but I'll third Mag and Cuch by saying thanks for the invite, DW! Sounds like a good time. Count me as being in!  I'm not the most original/skilled of writers, but it sounds like a good time!

| | Good to have you on board TM
As we've said, no previous experience required !
btw, if anyone knows of other potential writers, do feel free to notify them. I invited a few people, but just because I didn't send an invite to others doesn't mean those people shouldn't join. It's just that I'm more familiar with some SYM members than others, so those are the people I contacted
Oh, and just to clarify, this is definitely *not* by invite only. The reason I began to approach people via PM was simplyto get the word out more quickly

Sorry...
I will when I get back though. How exactly does something like this work anyway?

There's no pressure at all, just post when you can. Basically, those of us who are able to will put down some initial posts this weekend, and likely play off of what everyone else has written. The idea is for this to evolve spontaneously and organically, so no need to worry about timelines or expectations. It's a given that people have real lives to attend to as well

Though, rest assured, you'd have been unfortunate enough to receive a PM from me had you not
But yeah, please put the word out. I'm pretty scatter-brained at the best of times, and with moving preparations I'm even worse than normal. Which means I can't be relied upon for remembering who to contact.

| | Unfortunate? It was an honor.
I've been requested to present myself at my friends sale for his shop during a town festival saturday, and then present myself at his new house. Apparently I'm to get wasted and direct passerby in an amusing manner to his shop and then he'll get me more drunk when we go back to his place. SO posting will be limited saturday evening and sunday most likely. 
I'm almost always here though , so I will be able to post often.

EDIT- Okay, just found out that the lock-in was cancelled, so I'll be able to post this weekend after all.

| | I would like to strongly advocate for the new thread to be posted in SYM, for several reasons. First, it has always had a receptive audience there and provided good entertainment value. Second, it would be wonderful to have occasional cameos or perhaps longer visits by past DFs. But that is much less likely to happen if the story is posted here. I only found this place because some drunk transient from COMM sold me a map.
Third, if we are looking for new authors, there is no better recruitment tool than placing the story where the action is. And finally, we had many readers who really bonded with the story on SYM. Think of their woe, their sleepless nights, that will result from being unable to re-experience the glorious highs, the startling lows, and the absolute wyrdness of DF in a place that is easily accessible to them. It is too terrible to contemplate. Think of the little SYMers, all tucked in their beds with bottles of Turkey and Jack, but no DF in sight. We cannot let this happen!
*jumps up on the parapet* We must fight to make DF accessible to all who long for it, to all who have dreamed for it, to all those who have never worn leather or done a naked hotub! We do this because it is just, because it is right... because it is the type of crazed mayhem a group of hot, cutting-edge virtualists were born to wreck upon the unsuspecting land of Game Banshee. Let the games begin!
*After adjusting his strait jacket, Thantor is led away to a nearby psychiatric facility. There is little hope he will be posting this weekend*
