Chatterbox: Inkwell

The Ultimate CB Collaborative Story!

So, I had this idea. It will take a lot of a lot effort, commitment, diligence, and time, but I know we can do it. Are you ready for this?

We are going to write and publish a novel!

That's write. ;-) XD hehehe...

Okay! So here is what we are going to do! There will be, ah, say, five writers counting myself? And maybe that many artists, as well (I'm gonna be the head of both). The writers will discuss plots and characters and such, and the artists will decide where to put the illustrations and then do them, and such. As the lead author/artist I'll 'approve' ideas, but I'm not gonna be strict about them or anything, don't get me wrong, I'm open to new ideas! And I'd also like to do the cover art, but the artists can help me figure out what that'll look like. I'll list author and artist jobs in more detail below. 

So, as for the story. I know I want it to be fantasy, but that's really all I know. You guys help me figure this out, basic plot wise, and then here's what we'll do. We will take turns writing the chapters, but let's do it from third person and try to keep the same writing style. I want you guys to be able to post often, and if you can't, just don't sign up, because we need real commitment here. If a CBer doesn't post on their turn for more than five days, a spot for someone else who didn't get in will be open, so they'll write it for them. Said CB'er will be 'fired' per say, if they don't show on this thread for over two weeks without notice (I'll try my best to get ahold of you first, though, and alert you).

Same goes for artists. They'll discuss with me covers, illustrations, chapter headings, and the like, and we'll take turns illustrating. If they don't take their turn, same thing goes for them as for the writers.  

Now, this isn't an RP, this isn't a Round Robin, it's much more complicated than that. Let's really work on this, guys. Really try. Keep it alive. It's gonna take time, okay? So we'll need it active and topped. Again, real commitment! Write, and take time on it! Punctuate! Don't misspell! Use proper grammar!
