I've done a few. Not so short. I have done a handful about 2000 words or so each. It is actually helpful when I don't have a lot of time and I am not working on one of my larger stories. However, you are right about more difficult. Trying to get a story to tell something in such a short space is difficult. But it is a fun challenge nonetheless.
Yeah - I had an RP idea I tried running some time back on the old site (when I had lots of time) about an idea I got. It didn't go far. Sometimes running a RP from a story backfires as you cannot control all the variables and some people are are unwilling to collaborate. Besides, an RP is about working together to develop a better story. I like the RPs where I'm not the only one leading it.
Don't get me wrong. I can do a lot of planning if need be and I have one RP which I planned several major arcs in advance (outside of this one) but I still like working with someone and having them throw in their twists. It adds to the fun.
Nice. Texas. Nice state. Only been there a few times despite the fact that I am so close to it and my brother and his family live there.
No rush on the story. I have to work tomorrow so I doubt I'll get to it until at least Tuesday. As for Jack - no problem. You don't even need to keep him to close to the original if you don't want to (not a big fan of Jack). We can play with the story and not exactly follow the script if need be.
Almost. I graduate on May 17th. Just got to hang in there until then. I'm looking forward to finally leaving the university behind and getting out into the real world (well - more than I am now...).
How was Divergent? It looked interesting but I haven't seen it (or read it).
- Play his video game? Shouldn't you be spending time with him and not his game?
That should be fun. I hope your week is enjoyable and you get a lot of recapping done. :D
