@Ozerath - That I can, I took a minor break on the banners, but I'm hoping to complete the rest of them this weekend and onto this week.
Anyways, before I get into my photoshop mode, you'll notice Prisk did a flashback section, some of you - Oz - are familiar with these kinds of posts. I'll be working up some in my next debut as well. However, I'm going to try and split up my characters into separate submissions, I feel like having three masses of texts is some what of a taxing view. Though, it's probably best to include them all into one text.
I don't know, I'll work it as I go.
But also, regarding the means of activity, we're not asking for lightning fast submissions and development, and we're not necessarily posting within rounds. As mentioned, interaction and diolouge are key, and it's not just simple reactions of what has been previously given, but also progression. Small posts are better than none and nothing is meant to be worthy of a novel - unless you're a heavy winded writer like myself - and there's no regards to worry about it not being
good enough, after all, I'd rather see a couple paragraphs than nothing what so ever. It keeps the character fresh, the impression alive rather than stagnant and the loss of motivation begins to fester. It also gives a unit and a signal that one is attempting to keep in touch and within tandem.
Assistance is also available, brief collaborations or even building relationships between characters can give that little push and drive into primping something for the character in question. I don't like leaving characters behind or disregarding them, in the end they begin to wane into the background and the writer might not bother to introduce them back into the fold, catching up - as it were - can be a daunting task. Anyways, assistance stands as is, don't hesitate to conduct me or Priskins, we can provide whatever help we simply can.
Updates in the ooc are preferred over moments of silence, as the magic rule states, you don't have anything to say, just spell the magic words and that gives us a flag of: I'm here, no worries, and so on. We don't need promises for posts, goals are nice: "I aim to post for today." And it provides something of a reference that some effort is being made. I think also people naturally wait for others post something, because it's in regards to not wanting to leave anyone behind, but if doubt surfaces, I say post anyways, or reach out to the individual you are waiting for, inquire briefly what their intentions are so your submissions do not cross one another. This can be used to avoid missing anything critical.
In all of that wall of text, just communicate. That's primary key. Simple as that.
