I'm confused; an ongoing storyline, passed from member to member alphabetically to create each short "chapter" on a weekly basis? That I can understand. How does the theme fit in? Is "Unlikely Heroes" effectively the title for the whole story or is that going to change each week too, so the member has to make his part fit the theme as well as the story?

And if it's one member at a time, does that mean it'll run concurrently with the regular thing of the weekly theme that everyone can use & post their interpretation of? I realise it's slowed down a bit lately and it's been a while since I took part myself (with the weather getting better I'm hoping I do get out into the garden again), but the Theme Week was one of the things that originally got me to sign up to the site so I could join in. If the story were to attract any new members, they'd have to make their username start with a Z so they could get in on it!

Thumbs up

Ok, I can understand how this might be confusing.....let's see if I can simplify it a bit.........

Now I'm just throwing this up as an example.....don't feel that you have to use this track exactly.



Title: Unlikely Heroes

Poster 1: A shot of Sneek Peek and Scoop. They've been sent out to get the story for a hot air balloon fest that's being hosted near The PITT. While there, they spot Road Pig and Zandar, but what they're doing isn't immediately clear.

Poster 2: Sneek Peek and Scoop radio back to base with their findings. Tripwire and Tunnel Rat are on the comm at the time. They take the info and go to find Hawk.

Poster 3: Instead of Hawk, they find Lt. Falcon. When he's made aware of the situation, he calls the motor pool to get a team together to go out and investigate.

Poster 4: Torpedo, Cutter and Deep Six are oddly the only members in the motor pool. Probably because they were there to 'borrow' some of Clutch's tools to modify their water vehicles.

Poster 5: Being that they've been given an order, they mount up in whatever vehicle is 1st in line.....who knows, maybe it's a couple of Ninja Force cycles.....and they head out.

Poster 6: On their way to the park, they spot the Thunder Machine and figure that something big is going down. They follow Thrasher to the supermarket complex.

Poster 7: 'Something big is going down, it must be!!' Is what they radio back...... 'Don't lose them, whatever you do!' Is the response.

Poster 8: Some more Joes (take your pick) show up to lend a hand.....let's be honest, this is COBRA, they are capable of anything!!

Poster 9: 'When they come out, we'll take 'em. Then we'll make them tell us what they're up to!'

Poster 10: 'Huhnnn, all they've got is grape soda and chocolate covered donuts?!?' They follow the 'Noks back to the park......

Poster 11: Imagine the surprise on the Joes faces when they find out that Zartan and his cronies are just there to watch the hot air balloons as they light up the night sky.......

Poster 12: Sneek Peek captures the sound bite....'Reminds me of the fireflys in the swamp....but with less mosquito bites!'







Now we are an extraordinarily creative bunch here......I have faith that we can pull something off.

I realize that this is a big undertaking....but it doesn't have to be too complicated. If by tomorrow afternoon we don't have anyone in the upper part of the alphabet start it, then we'll just adjust to compensate.

I hope this clears up any confusions....but if there is still any questions, please post them up.....and we'll figure them out.

We'll try this, if it works, it will be some fun stuff......but remember, it might not go smoothly right off......so don't get discouraged.


To help make it a bit easier to follow the storyline.....let's mark the pics like this:

'Weekend Warriors-Unlikely Heroes-Pt. ____'

How's that??

May I suggest that we have the options available, meaning: The Weekend Warrior as we know it (a specific theme, everybody can post AND this new initiative of the Collaborative Story running as well?

Bartus.

Hello All,
I really dropped the ball. I didn't even know I was up for this weekend, being that I was out of town last week. Pretty much all my joe stuff is packed up for my move. So if nando can put up a back up, that would great! Sorry and thanks!
Cory
