What should I do?

[pseudogeek]

There's a pokemon big bang:


For the writers, it's writing a 10k words story in a 3 months period. It would sound reasonable for a Good Omens fic, but pokemon fic... There are too many canons in pokemon, it'll get contaminated mid-way for sure. It would be an excellent exercise to practice stability and consistency, but 10k words... The longest single arc of a fic I've written was 4k something words. The whole thing went way over that, but I'm really not used to write such a long fic.

Oh, and I'll need a new LJ account. What name could I use?

DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Is solarpillar taken on LJ?

[pseudogeek]

Ok, I made the LJ account, but I'm still not sure about doing this. Each author can work with up to two artists and one beta-reader, so... wanna be the artist? If not I can still do the anon thing if I decide to do the big bang.

10k words...

I LIKE THIS BIG BANG!!!!!!!!!! OMG may other fandoms leanr from it!!!
OK, I'll be in your team!! :D I wonder if you can still post a summary and have another artist claim your fic if you already have me working with you.

LETS GO SIGN UP Y/Y?? :D

[pseudogeek]

Ok, I just signed up saying that you (littlewolfstar @ LJ)'ll be my artist if you join and that we would like an additional artist too.

Now to start writing.

ok ill stop spamming you in a sec but

I LOVE THAT ITS MULTIMEDIA!!!
omg if you want we can do a super awesome project that will not put soo much pressure on you writing 10k! like, wanna make it a choose your adventure game in html like you use to do? Or a photo-comic with written cut-scenes? or whatever you want! Let's make this a super cool project!! :D (Maybe the game can even work!)

[pseudogeek]

Hm, you're right! Maybe I could make a renpy/flash game as bonus chapter. I don't want to make a choose-your-adventure game in html for this one. Actually, I already have a story in mind (pseudo-noir action movie style story, but I need to practice actions and dialogues). I'll put it on access list mode once I have some parts done.

I'm thinking, can we have illustrations for this story lined up like film strips, possibly in sepia, and used as frame on each side of each chapter, section or paragraph? Since each picture will be smaller this way, it'll be easier to draw. We have have few bigger illustrations for more important moments. We need one for the end.

I'm estimating around 30 strips, 3 to 5 bigger illustrations (they can be collage. I love McKean style collage.) and for the game it depends what kind of game we want to make. If we make a horizontal scrolling 3rd person shooter we'll only need minimum 10 pixel arts (3 for characters, 3 for ships, 4 for bullets). For dating sim type it'll take more depending on how many facial expressions we want.

Let's meet up to talk about this more in detail.

SURE!
Is this a big bang where artist need to go claim a story? Or can you pair up from the beginning??
It would be nice tho to have another artist as well :D

YOU CAN DO IT YOU CAN DO IT!
