Cooperative writing

Is anyone interested in cooperative writing/story telling?

I prefer Post Apocalyptic, Alternate present day war, horror, and historical military writing, or anything else that catches my eye. This is not only a means of an entertainment outlet, but it can help us in our writing, and gaming ideas.

It doesn't have to be governed by rules except for maybe having a turn rotation if there are more than two writers. I can host it on RPOL or elsewhere.

It could be a narrative, and doesn't have to be centered with the thought of one writer running one character.

Any takers?

I also have a Vietnam era role playing game campaign in the works, FYI.

I'd probably be interested in something like that, however my biggest issue at the moment is time...at the minute work and other real life commitments are making some fairly fierce demands of me, so I wouldn't really be able to commit to any sort of schedule...

I'm a frustrated author like many Roleplayers. I don't mind having a go, though I usually write sci-fi and comedy. (My series of tales set in a spoof Star Trek universe gradually succumbed to RPGHost's frequent surprise post purges )

I'm in the same boat, then.

Big H, a couple of years ago, there was a T2K PbP campaign by the name of "Stalemate War" over on the RPGNet forums. It was really more of a collaborative story telling excercise than a conventional Twilight 2000 game. It's been defunct for a year but you may want to check out the IC archives for ideas about how to run such an endevour. Players each had a main character, but folks could write for each other's PCs, within limits. It was more of a team created narrative than any other PbP or PBeM I've seen or been involved in. It was pretty fun and produced some pretty darn good writing/story.

Here's a link to the game portal. The IC thread archive is found under the "Operations" header.

Most of it reads like a novel. Some of it's really good. I think a couple of other RPGHost vets were contributers at one time or another- Chalkline and Badbru come to mind. Snakeyes was prepped to join when it went belly up. It's a shame the story never reached a point of closure.

There's also a set of guidelines for collaborative style games on there under "Civil-Military Operations". Could be helpful.

Anyway, I hope it's helpful.

Hmmm, well then perhaps we can start a writing thread or two here in a separate section *COUGH mod mod mod COUGH COUGH*.

I would most enjoy it, as like you have said, I am also a frustrated writer/RPer.

Actually I saw Stalemate War is recruiting again for another bash. I looked at it briefly a couple of years back, but the long term players there bunny each other a bit too much for my liking.

It's made more for a fantasy-campaign but I will have to agree that some of their ideas aply here in t2k
