[OOC] The Spirits Within: Oakridge Chronicles

[Archangel89]

Will start working on a post ASAP

[Ozerath]

Orite my Thael post, Redrum is waiting on me! Honestly kindof forgot that I only posted for Kyle last time, I'll get to work tonight on Thael.

[Rockette]

Squee! My best friend had her baby this morning! Happy day. ~

[Mirandae]

Happy day, indeed. Much better than these broken forums!

[Rockette]

@Prisk - Right? I'm super nervous considering the incident of Guild Fall, and backed up everything I have on the forum. I doubt such a thing will happen again, but I'd rather be prepared. On that note, I often check the Dev Journal Mahz has in the News section to check up on what's what. Just a few hings need to be updated on his end, the errors happen so randomly it's hard to pin point where it's coming from in these servers and what is causing them. So we'll see, and hope, he can find away to mediate it all.

[Mirandae]

Right. If it crumbles, it crumbles. There isn't much we can do about that.

Anyway, I've removed all the rules. I barely follow them myself, so it doesn't make sense for me to ask others follow them.

[Rockette]

Well, be that as it may, I intend to post continuously in a weekly routine as I have been attempting to do. Even if I have nothing to post, I can easily make up fillers. I feel like most of everyone here is currently waiting on some of the others, not wanting to step on toes of those working on their own submissions - I get that - and that is what causes these sporadic means of activity and postings. And I've addressed ways to help and combat that. Mm. Granted, it is summer too, that's another factor.

Ah well, it has been at least a week since my last post, but I'm still waiting on my collaboration partner for Monika. Hopefully that will be completed this weekend.

I'll probably post for Ollie by himself with a filler of Julian. There's enough for me to write on concerning the Reactor, get that going and such. We'll see how that goes once I'm able to sit down and get to work on it.

[Archangel89]

I am currently in the works of writing a post to help with some things. Im just finishing up with the most recent posts and ill have something up ASAP. Afterwards I will do my best to keep to the standards at hand

[Mirandae]

Okay. Good to know.

Anyone else still here? There's been a lot of 'I'll have something up tomorrow', but those tomorrows have come and gone.

[Ozerath]

Well technically I never committed to a submission date, just a "i'm working on it" :p

[ZB1996]

Still here.

[icmasticc]

I'm still here as well. Just finishing up this collab.

[Redrum]

I really don't want to step on any toes, but also don't like seeing this thread go without a post for so long. I'm almost finished with a post for Subira, and while I would have had something up sooner for Ophelia, the site outages had killed the post I had wrote out for her. :/

Already rewriting it though, but I probably won't have it out until after my next reply.

Also, @Prisk and @Rockette, maybe we should do a roll call? See who's still around / interested -- and it might be a good time to give the interest check a bump, too?

[Hexaflexagon]

I'm also still around just kind of stuck in my current position (as I don't see many probable venues to post anything without stepping on the feet of others) just sort of waiting around. Though... I do currently have a small thing for Graham that was going to serve as the start of the next post once the stuff we are currently waiting on fires off, but I can probably spin it out a little bit to get it up to a post worthy size though at the current moment it won't do much just some introspective thought and a little flashback thing not anything major at the moment

[Rockette]

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about steeping on toes, the world is character driven and open for this reason, so as not to interfere with unlike a linear construct. And, I know the feeling of "too much" applies here, but that's nothing to worry about either. Go nuts! We'll adapt, and I love seeing new shit. Just don't kill everyone and we're all peaches.

I will say that I appreciate those loyal and making an attempt to post and write, it does wonders of making us feel better about what we're doing here. Let's get that out there right now. ♥

I believe once I spit out my collab with Icky and finish my post for Ollie, it'll get more going, or so I am hoping. But I don't like everyone having to wait on everyone, things grows stagnant and I don't want to see that happen.

If you're stuck, do collaborations - I have three characters and then some to provide for this! - do flash backs, do some internal monolouge and contemplate life - something! Work up a filler if you need to. Hell, you'd be surprised about what happens when you're writing dribble and suddenly shit blind sides you and you think - oh! I got something here.

edit.
Oh and I did bump the check about, six some odd days ago. However no bites, we'll keep trying though.

[Rockette]

Totally not what I originally planned for Ollie, but, sometimes it's better to start over anew with what you're writing. This flows a bit better for me.

[Rockette]

And now I've posted the collaboration between me and Icky - enjoy!

[Hexaflexagon]

And I'm a terrible person that does terrible things to fictional people but without the terrible things they can't go about forging themselves into stronger people because of it. Anyway have a nice little flashback/ introspective thought sequence that gives a little bit of a deeper look into everybody's favorite ass's psyche.

@Hexaflexagon

Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them—in order that the reader may see what they are made of.

Great posts everyone, I'm glad to see so much activity like this once again. ♥
