I'd prefer the first but really I'm good with whatever.

Not that you would ever give us an ultimatum, or anything like that. ::)

Me? Never!

Thank you!  ;D

Is twenty people fine? If so, sign me up!  

Nanowrimo is taking my time, so I'll try for the fifteenth.

You're in.

We might have to start thinking about subgroups after all. Still, I think we should at least wait through our first two submissions and see what's what before we start trying to organize that.

Haha, I figured you might. I'll put you down.

Just be sure and give any positive feedback first.  ;)
If nothing else, you can always say that at least I know how to spell "teh".

DOH!

As much as I hate to say it, but I'm afraid I must recant a bit. It seems unlikely that I will be able to get my chapter revision done by the 1st. English 339 and the two things I need to get done for that class must take greater priority, I'm afraid. Barring a miracle, I would need to submit on the 15th. Sorry.

Let me get this straight... you are just 18, in your first semester AND have a 300-level class? Should I be impressed or afraid?!?

Is your chapter readable? Doesn't need to be the latest revision as long as we can understand complete sentences.

Not only that, but I'm not even an English major. I took English 339 because I wanted to :P

And yes, there is a slightly older version of the same scene. It's readable, I just want to spice it up a little bit. For example, one of my spicier additions is to make the torture just a tad more explicit...

Er... You didn't hear that :P

Alright, I'll change it. Since it's the first submission and you told us in advance, we won't even break out the Evil Laughing Chorus.

Sorry, Karl - did you ever say when you wanted to submit, the first or the fifteenth?

Well, there's still a slight possibility I could just give you the un-revised scene. I don't know. We'll wait and see :P

Raethe --  actually I hadn't mentioned when. Don't really mind either way.

Are folks submitting their current chapters only, or will they feed it to us from the beginning?

Since I'm working on a series of short scripts (roughly equivalent to chapters) I had figured to start with the first one and work from there. I've written scripts #1,2,3 & 5 (chronologically),  and am working on #4 now. Only the first two have been significantly rewritten, and I'm sure there are problems in each.

I'm sure the torture scene merely sets the mood before the musical interlude.
