Most of you are probably aware by now, but in case you aren't, Veeky Forums's most ambitious collaborative writing project is currently underway.
Want to be involved? It's easy, just read over the basic premise (found in the posts below) and jump into one of the Google Docs to start contributing.
Because of the inherent complexity of the project, there are three (3) Google Docs currently running
The first is the Planning Doc, where all of the planning (whether it's coming up with character names, chapter arcs, potential titles, themes, styles, cover art, etc) for the main sections of the novel will occur:
docs.google.com
The second is the Writing Doc, where you can submit prose for any chapter. It is worth noting that each main chapter has a vague premise, so the writing here is not completely free form. Chapters will periodically be added to this doc and become available for contribution, as the details for each chapter are ironed out and agreed upon:
docs.google.com
And finally, there is the Interludes and Appendices Doc. This is where if you can just put something down on the page, whether it's something you wrote three years ago and think it might fit somehow, or something you wanna write specifically for the project. The writing here is almost completely freeform, and need only be tangentially related to the rest of the text (more details given in the Doc itself). There is a place for both poetry and prose here:
docs.google.com
If you are having trouble understanding how this all works, which is very understandable, do not worry. In the posts below will be a quick, but detailed, rundown of the basic premise for the project. I would recommend ALL anons read through this rundown before contributing to either doc, to ensure that we are all on the same page.
Worth Noting:
- The current title (Pantheon) is just a working title. Title and cover art discussion is currently taking place in the planning doc
- Periodically, you may find that public editing is restricted. This will usually be because a pesky user has been meddling with or mass deleting the document. During these times you can still edit and add comments, your edits will simply remain pending until approval. I will do my best to approve all edits as soon as possible during these times.
- Always feel free to post your contributions, criticisms, discussions and whatever else in the thread as well, if you don't feel like going straight to the documents
- And finally, if you have any questions or confusions about the project, do not hesitate to ask!
