@flux Hey, just to keep things smooth for this Beach collab, how would you feel about doing a turn-based posting order? That way, the document doesn't become overwhelming or slow down as more people join in. It might also make it easier for everyone, so we're not constantly reacting to new additions as we're writing our interactions. Whatcha think? :)
I think that's a good idea~. We could make it so everyone gets one scene per round, once everyone has written or 2 days have gone without update we'll start the next round. I was thinking of running it in rounds, like this round is people arriving, next round could be beach games/swimming/activities, round after could be lunch, etc. I'll add a little tracker on the first page~. Also if you want to add more than one scene to a round just PM me and we'll coordinate how to fit it in ^_^.
For the sake of simplicity and encouraging collabs I'll say that if you join in on someone else's scene (with their permission of course) it doesn't count as your go for that round, it only counts for the person in charge of the scene. So if you want to write more reach out and organize ideas or ask if you can jump into scenes~!
Example: Qia is writing a scene for her turn and has arranged a collab with Herald and Sporko. Qia would have directing control of the scene and once finished they would be done for the turn. Herald and Sporko however would still have their turn to add a scene as they were collabing with Qia.
I think this hybrid turn order will keep it manageable for everyone to stay up to date but also allow flexibility for people to write a scene when they're available to. If it still becomes too messy we can try a traditional queue system where one player adds a scene after the other ^_^.
EDIT: Regarding the one scene per turn rule, if your breaking your scene up into multiple parts back to back for multiple characters to get some screen time I think that's ok~. Good example is SporkoBug's bit introducing Blue Feathers, Cult and Morrigan separately ^_^. (I had a ball reading that by the way~!)
