Don't worry. As a fellow student, I know the pains of being busy. :P

I very much like you're style of writing I have to say. There is just one tiny thing I need to check to see if we're on the same line. The world itself is not a void. Things do exist around us. But they only start 'existing' in the story, as we our characters mention it or visit it or happen upon it or... well, you know.
From your post I get the feeling you think that the world is literally void of everything. If I'm wrong, do forgive me of course. I'm just checking.

Also, I hope you're okay with the name Shan. If you had something else in mind, I can always change it. :)

Oh! I am so sorry, I did misunderstand a little bit. So is "the Void" then where our characters have come from?

I was thinking something sort of structuralist in nature, like a combination of Levi-Strauss' and Saussure's ideologies. Sort of the idea that the world exists on a thinly laid foundation of language, and that the world around us already existed as a "void" world and that it was being labelled and, in a way, "created" as we experienced and named things, even if our characters already had a predisposed idea of what was already there.
Edit: But I don't think my post reflected that very well, all I was trying to get across was that she doesn't know what is the cause of the storm (due to the fact that meteorology would not be a thing) so she is hypothesizing that the cause is a "beast".

About how much of that is right? lol. Thanks for saying something by the way! We should be on the same page. :)

Also, Shan is fine! I don't mind, did you want me to name your character? (I might just put something in my post which I am about to write and I will change it if you want!)

That's actually quite on the spot. But I just used the term 'Void' because it sounded cool. It doesn't have anything to do with the world we're creating at the moment. At least... not yet that is.

And yeah, you can name me if you want.
I added a 0th post btw. Anything we 'create' in this world can be tracked here. You can add to this too if you ever 'create' something in one of your posts. :)

True ^.^

I LOVE how open ended all these posts are. I feel like I am not so much writing a story as reading it and watching it happen, which is sort of thrilling in a way. I enjoy the ambiguity of it all!

It’s what makes this idea so great for it. You hand the other person something to hook on to and so advance the story. :D
