Well, I don't have as much experience with collaborative fiction, but it would seem that selling people on the RP is contingent on having the RP [i]defined[/i]. Now, I love outlines, you seem to be a bit more of a "panster"; and that's cool. I'm sure we can find a happy medium: Even if the path we ultimately take is wildly different from what we planned, I want to have [i]a plan[/i] to start with in [i]some[/i] capacity.
