Mai and Dustfingerfan
Mai and Dustfingerfan are doing a Sci-Fi/Fantasy story.
Rules:
1. No fighting.
2. No taking over the story. Work it out with your partner so you can both do the story equally.
3. Keep the story PG.
4. GloWorm says to always keep to your genre, but I disagree: if you really want to, change genres.
Thank you very much! :)

That is a great idea!!! I really like. I haven't written sci-fi before (at least I don't think so) so I probably won't think of any great ideas. *sigh* I am a girl by the way, I guess the name is kind-of elusive (I know I spelled that wrong!!)

Thanks Dustfingerfan, so is this an idea you want to use? Because even if it is or isn't the story idea we want to write about, we should come up with some character names. I like the names,
Alexandra
Bethany
Scott
Stacy
Christian
Clara
Mike
and Turner
Do you like any of theses names too? What are some names you like?
(April 15, 2009 - 10:42 am)
I like all of your names, except Cristian, Stacy and Turner. What about...
Libbi
Anna
Zoe
Mandi
Amelia
Keith
Josh
Tristian
Noah

I like all of your names except for Libbi and Anna. So once we start the story should we each write every other chapter?
(April 15, 2009 - 8:33 pm)
Yea, that sounds good. If we get stuck, we can just turn it over to the other person though right? And, shouldn't we figure out the names of the main character(s)? I was thinking we could have two and each pick a name and write from their point of view. We could each pick a name and that why we could have them be either friends or something. They could also have two different attitudes, too.
(April 16, 2009 - 6:58 pm)
I am a little confused as to what you are saying, but it sounds good to me. Are you saying that we each pick (one or two?) characters and then write from their point of view? I agree about helping out your partner, but I think each alternating chapter should be from the differnt points of view. We still need to decide what exactly the story's plot is. Right now all we have is a setting. So we should figure out who the "good guys" and the "bad guys" are so that we can get this show on the road! :)
(April 17, 2009 - 6:12 pm)
What I meant was we each pick one character and write from their point of view so that every other chapter is in a different point of view. I want to be Clara! Is that ok with you?
(April 18, 2009 - 7:12 am)
Sure, I want to be Josh! So what should their mission be? Like what is it that the story is all about? Are we going to use words like, I, my, or she and he? I think since we are writing from their points of view we should write with I and me and my. And here's what Josh is like,
Hair: Dark brown, very greasy
Eyes: Green with firey orange middles
Figure: Tallish, a little on the heavy side
Age: 14
Personality: Nothing really interests him and if it does he doesn't show it.
Goal(s) in life: To grow up already and stop having people treat him like a child
Random facts about him: He likes doing daring things to try and prove that he is not a child. ex; playing pranks, getting into fights. He has a quick temper.
What do you think, and what is Clara like?
(April 18, 2009 - 2:16 pm)
Josh sounds a little like Peter Pan in the Peter and the Starcatchers books. Ok here's Clara:
Hair: straight, shoulder length, reddish orange (she really stands out in a crowd ;)
Eyes: brown and pretty regular, very different from her hair
Figure: short for her age, also kind-of skinny
Age: 12
Personality: stubborn and easily offended
Goal(s) in life: she doesn't know (and neither do I for that matter :/ )
Random facts about her: she likes sports a lot and is a total tomboy
(April 18, 2009 - 6:18 pm)
Clara sounds fun! And by the way, I have never read Peter and the Starcatchers. Maybe I should. :) I think Josh has no father and an overly protective mother. He gets into fights a lot with her and she sent him away to this combat school in hopes that it would help control his anger. He has been at this school since he was 11. Is Clara a new arrival, or his friend or what?
(April 19, 2009 - 10:21 am)
Clara is a new arrival. She is an orphan and her orphanage closed down. Being the strongest of the kids, she was sent to the combat school.
Oh! I just had an idea! How about all the kids get sent to the school when they're 11 or 12? Also, I think Josh and Clara should be like enemies, but on the same side, ya' know what I'm talking about? Then, they always get paired for stuff and finally become friends? Does that sound good or too cheesy???
(April 19, 2009 - 6:04 pm)
No, no, that sounds good! Not cheesy at all! I like the idea about having them come to the school when they are 11 or 12. I get what you mean about them being enemies but on the same side. Can they be fighting a war against some kind of mythical creature? Or what are your ideas about that? I don't mean like unicorns or typical stuff like that. What if we made you our own kind of creature. (Like in The White Mountains, the Tripods. If you have no idea what i am talking about just ignore it.)
(April 20, 2009 - 5:14 pm)
Ok lets have it be a war against a mythical creature. What about griffins?
(April 21, 2009 - 5:48 am)
Yea I lilke that. How about the griffins are led to believe that humans are evil greedy killers and that they are a major theat to them. But is the training camp underwater combat or land, beacause I think griffins only stay on land.?. I am all for a on land training base that is located on a man-made island in the middle of a sea.(can it be a sea, beacause lakes and oceans are used too much. Just my opioin.) What do you think?
(April 21, 2009 - 4:37 pm)
great motive. Maybe the man-made island is in the sea (you are right, lakes ans oceans are used too much) because the griffins are afraind of water?
