    Café Session # 4
    Literate Beans Group: Here


    Hey all! Welcome back to the pot. <3

    Anyway, as the last session revolved around the ever loveable characters, I was thinking we could dive straight into another big topic. So you’ve got your character, but now what? Where do they live? What is the time period? With these questions in mind, let us visit the marvelous world of Setting.

    And as a kick start to discussion, some questions for you lot (YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ANSWER THEM ALL LOL):


    What kinds of settings are you drawn to? How have they intrigued you?

    Think about two of your favorite characters. How has their setting(s) affected the way they were raised and their ambitions?

    If you’ve written a story before, think about one of them. What kind of setting did you use? Describe it. Was it a major motivator for your character, did it impede/speed up their growth, etc?

    What kind of setting would you live in? And for a bonus challenge, think of two of your friends (offlien or online). If you could write yourselves into a story of any type, what kind of setting would you want it to be?

    Also, because i'm a super idiot who forgot this, the theme for this one is...

    viewer's choice

    Meaning, no real restrictions on recommendations. You can recommend anything (aside from the 3 per person and not exceeding 7 minutes).


    Recommendations will be accepted until Saturday, October 27th.

    Have at it~

    Hey kids! After much deliberation (more like procrastination of homework), I went and revamped Mixtape Mania a bit. A lot has changed and I thought I'd post it here as well, since it never was before haha.


    > WHAT IS MIXTAPE MANIA?

    It's an event where you would make playlists of recommended songs/artists for another person who you were paired up with. The first thread was here. It was a lot like Secret Santa in some respects, but more musically oriented. However, it isn't so much like Secret Santa anymore.

    > WHAT DID YOU CHANGE?

    Quite a few things. You can read the rules thread up HERE.

    > HOW DO I JOIN?

    You don't have to! You just have to post songs you'd like to recommend in the main thread, which again, is found here: http://kh-vids.net/threads/mixtape-mania-re-mix-intro-guidelines.134046/


    > HOW LONG WILL THIS RUN?

    I'm going to run this one for one week before I put up a new thread. Then the next week is when the radio event starts, just to make sure I have time for homework and studying for finals.


    > HOW LONG WILL THIS RUN?

    Not too much! You only just need to provide me with the songs you want (via YouTube links). I'll be able to get the MP3s and put them all together in a snazzy big MP3 and let the radio take it from there.


    > QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS?

    General questions can be asked here. More specific ones can go in the main rules thread, or you can send me a message over KHV.




    Thanks and hope y'all enjoy.

    • As the Music Trade/Request Thread has died down a bit (much to my iPod's displeasure :'c), this is sort of building off of that thread, and also adding a bit more interactivity. To spare any further plumecdotes.
    • Since there hasn't been much participation in the past threads, I thought we could test out a change for a bit. :B As per usual, in these threads, you may build playlists of recommended music. However, instead of recommendations for just a singe other member, I thought we could do something for everyone.
      To get to the point, we'll have a specific theme/genre for each (will be included in the thread of the title). Members can post in songs, be they the original or any form of remix, and then they'd be compiled into a nifty mixtape by me (because I have no life or friends).

      For a quicker rundown:

      • You recommend music based on a theme (first will be of my choosing, but there will be polls in the future).
      • Thread is open for a week, after which I download all the recs and put them together.
      • You can watch it here.
    • I was considering just turning them into a more casual "DJ Block", if you will. A regular Mixtape Mania thread will be made, however you don't have to build it for someone else. In here can build a mixtape, send it to me, and I can play it on the radio (I was thinking this could likely happen once a month for now, will change depending on participation!)

      Furthermore, if you participated in past Mixtape Manias, just send me your MP3s and I'll put them together in a DJ Block where it will play.
    • Oh yes! I am going to use the mixes built (in ReMix) as part of a radio event I'll be running every two weeks.
    • This event will be using this nifty site called 8tracks. While it does require sign up, it's very user friendly and the upload process is quite simple. It also let's you add your own album cover to personalize it (max size is 500x500). You can also serach for songs on Soundcloud in the serach bar above the Upload Library. All in all it's pretty snazzy and I like it a lot. :B

      When you send your mixtapes to me, you should send the MP3s. Unforts I can't play songs from 8tracks over the radio. :'c However, I'll make a thread in the SpamZone/Playgroud when the DJ Block begins, so if you did make an 8tracks playlist and want to send it my way, I'll post it in that thread.
    • No sign ups required for this version of Mixtape Mania! All you have to do is post songs you want on, kick back and wait for the end result. :v
    • 1. All Main Site Rules and the Music Section's Rules apply.

      2. Three recommendations per person! Just to make sure everyone has a fair chance + all.

      3. Songs cannot exceed seven minutes! As much as I love it, things like Octavarium by Dream Theater may not keep everyone interested but its still amazing

      4. Have fun! This is meant to be a light-hearted activity, and one that each and every member of the forum can enjoy. c:

      5. Send a message to Plums if you have any questions/concerns, or post in this thread.

    Chev, Star, Krowley and I were just talking about stories and then I remembered I never posted this one, whoops. It's also a short-short like the other two original stories I posted recently. As it was for class, the main objectve was to try and get a feel for the style of a writer (Yasunari Kawabata in this case, wrote these really lovely shorts, we ended up reading a few from a collection of his), and try to adapt it for our own purposes.

    Dunno if that happened or not so H E R E W E G O:


    Today, I am going to visit the beach once again. The breeze greets me with a light kiss to the cheek as I close the door behind me. The sun showers over me; the rays sprinkle my fair skin tan, and I bask in its oven glow. At first, it it is cold. It stings through my flesh. Then, it warms; my skin smarts beneath the quiet heat. It wraps me in its covers and keep me stuck to it. It is me, and I am it. Yet, the embrace is as temporary as time. The covers leave me, and I am left to myself once more.

    The sun says farewell, and the sky splits open to night. I continue to the beach, lead feet dragging themselves forward. I see the town rise and fall before my eyes. The broken down shops cling to the shadows. There are children running about, but I do not hear them. They are gone to me, foreign bodies invading my view. They will be a disease that plagues me, just like everything else that reminds me of her.

    By now, she has grown into a woman. She has little to no recollection of me. It pains me with each step through the minutes. With each mile I walk, with each hour that passes, she will be further gone. I remember it quite clear; one day, she was here, a sleeping angel in her cradle. I fell asleep in the shadow of my wife, the peace of the scene lulling me to sleep. When I next opened my eyes, the angel was gone and the shadow had fled.

    The pavement turns to sand beneath my feet. Water rises and falls on the shoreline. I bend over in the sand, my finger making lines in the earth. Even now, twenty years gone past, I still try to trace her cheekbones in the surface, trying to recapture the image in the throes of memory. Maybe if the image is preserved, she will return. Maybe the memory can give way to reality, and I would have the sleeping angel once more. I almost have her face, when my fingers spasms, and a line crosses through it. I kick and stomp through the sand. I am crying, I am lost. Memory is an embrace, and no more durable than time.

    Plums here! I will be posting Janson's plot in this thread. If you'd like to help develop it to completion before the poll to decide which plot will be used for the Visual Novel, do so here. And now, ladies, gents and otherkin:



    THE PLOT



    I've wanted to write a (dark) comedy about people dealing with depression for a while (and not a "ha-ha, look at those wrist slitters"-kinda comedy, something more along with people using humor to cope) but I know I won't have the patience or self restraint to write it on my own. And I know I can't be the only person on the site who is battling/has battled depression, so we'll definitely have some realistic perspective into the issue.

    In my head I had it based in a college and the cast included students and teachers, so maybe there could be some kind of a "KHV University/Boarding School," that the characters are attending?

    I do like the idea of characters being based on us members, but could cause some problems. Say we write a character specifically for, say, DPWolf, and she for whatever reason isn't capable of doing the voice acting and singing for the part, and we have to settle for someone else. I'm not saying that that person wouldn't do a good job, but it would be kinda weird to hear someone like me playing Wolfie.

    I've got a teensy bit of experience in song writing, so I can possible help with lyrics, melodies and harmonies. I'm not too good at composing, though, so I'd probably be useless there...

    Plums here! I will be posting What?'s plot in this thread. If you'd like to help develop it to completion before the poll to decide which plot will be used for the Visual Novel, do so here. And now, ladies, gents and otherkin:



    THE PLOT





    What?'s Giant Plot List Extravaganza Desu


    PLOT I

    << Redshift >> "Duty, to the morals of all or duty, to morals of the self?"




    Genre:

    Science Fiction, Political, Tragedy, Romance, Mystery

    Setting:

    Retro-futuristic space technology across various planets in a solar system representing KHV. Planets typically have differing and uniquely individual environments, however. Staff technology is decidedly ornate and baroque but still has space-y futurist influences. Clothing takes cues from late 19th Century Victorian fashion with 1930s and futurist twists.





    Themes:
    Justice, Reconciliation, Crime, Class Struggle, Revolution, Loyalty and Duty, Freedom, Family and Identity, Love, Allegory and Metaphor, Conscience, Deities and Gods, Enlightenment, Aristocracy, European Romanticism, Space









    All characters except OC will be existing KH members. The Captain is ... well, you will see, and Lady Jayn is Jayn.

    This summary contains horrible grammar and run-on sentences because I wrote it in a rush.
    Also this plot is ridiculous and horrible and incoherent and makes no sense probably because I wrote it in a rush.

    Music in this musical will be in multiple places not explicitly stated in the plot summary (but there will be some indications for major scenes).

    In a retro-futuristic KHV spanning multiple planets in a cosmic system, OC has become a “Returned” - a free member after dropping his permaban sentence due to the appeal passing by one vote of an unknown staff member, the Savior, who constantly haunts OC as the “granter of their freedom”. Though OC is technically free, their “Returned” status makes them a social outcast. OC's “Returned” status causes them to fall into the lower class crowd and underworld, where they befriend another Returned who gives OC a home, an identity, and a place – and after forming the Scarlet Space Pirates as Captain to “liberate the cosmos from social injustice” after going around the various planets seeing such “social injustice” firsthand, a purpose as well, even if the more pacifistic OC does not necessarily agree with the Captain's radical methods. The Captain and the Savior continually haunt the consciousness of OC, and to whom OC should be more loyal in their goals with. The OC is tutored by the Captain, but the OC also keeps a sort of shrine to the Savior through any evidence they may find in tracking down that mysterious staff member – which proves to be little since staff rarely ever appear in person, if ever. The OC seems to be, eventually, the only one of the pirates who does not outright hate the staff. Things are turned upside down when, at a time a few years later when the cosmic system is on the verge of civil war among the staff themselves, the staff directly engage the pirates' Scarlet Armada for the first time. The conflict also puts OC's beliefs into question, and culminates with a duel between OC and the Captain over “duty to morals of all or duty to morals of the self”. The staff, appearing visibly in their hyper-futuristic technology (contrasting with the retro-futurism as being much more Baroque instead of Art Deco), slowly and systematically destroy the Scarlet Armada. The captain of this fleet, Lady Jayn, captures OC as a prisoner of the conflict, and the Captain is presumably left to die by the black holes created through damaging the hulls of the staff's ships.

    OC is now among the staff, one of the few survivors of the attack on the Scarlet Armada. They take residence on the staff's Elegant Fleet, a collection of Baroque-styled ships that travel through the cosmos through bending space-time (instead of normal ionic propulsion), and are usually hidden through a warped cloak of dark matter and gravitational lensing. Where OC learned about many of the common members in the space pirates' travels, OC learns about the personal lives of the mysterious staff here, and learn that the “schism among staff” is true, as arguments have been very commonplace – but not to the extent of civil war, which is a rumour, probably spread by an unknown force. On the eve of decisions for the prisoners of war, OC is considered to be checked on his probation, and has one last chance before again being permanently banned – this time without appeal. OC must help repair the state of the cosmic system, including the staff schism, by undergoing training as a staff member themselves, since the staff believe that OC contains the potential after observing OC's mediating actions throughout the cosmos. OC agrees but also asks to find out who granted them their freedom in the first place. Staff reject the idea, but this prompts Lady Jayn to take up OC as her apprentice. OC undergoes training among all of the staff one by one, while learning about them and their methods personally, and OC finds that though the staff mean well they have become unintentionally distant from the less privileged members of cosmic society. As Lady Jayn personally trains OC, she slowly instills the thought in OC's head that she was the one who voted for their freedom, but never says this outright and keeps it ambiguous. OC becomes very loyal to Lady Jayn, and decides to become her personal “protector” after training is over. OC is “redshifted” (crowned a sectional moderator) at the end of their training, and is to look after the sections most in ruin at the moment – the Spam Zone and Introductions/Departures. OC learns that, upon being redshifted, they, like the other staff members, gain the powers to alter various aspects of spacetime, and OC settles on the basic power of the gravitational force. OC tests these with elegant song-duels with all of the purple-branded staff, and is able to best all of them except Lady Jayn. This is considered sufficient enough, and OC is expelled from the Elegant Fleet in order to directly police the remaining dissent among the cosmos as the Genesis Test. Throughout this entire ordeal, though their loyalty to Lady Jayn as their apparent Saviour has become immense, they continue to think of the Captain, and how he had been abandoned by the ruins of the Scarlet Armada.

    Upon returning to the cosmos, it is seen that the dissent has grown even worse in the past few years on the Elegant Fleet. Many planets have declared martial law, and the Introduction/Departure planet has been engulfed by an “unknown force” that may threaten the rest of the cosmos and has charged the anti-staff dissent with paranoia. OC once again visits their old homeworld of the Spam Zone, now more ruinous, as they hide their staff identity and join an organization titled the Green Gem. Formerly a crime organization, their efforts turned to vigilantism when locally declared governments began rounding up and abusing new and immigrant planet members. OC realizes that a few of their old friends from back before the space pirate days – those who stayed on the planet and did not join the Captain – are members of the Green Gem, though they do not know who OC is. OC travels through the planets with the help of the Green Gem, calming dissent and being known throughout the system as the elegant revolutionary. However, at heart, OC does all of this to get the approval of Lady Jayn and to find out the whereabouts of the Captain. As OC and the Green Gem get closer and closer to the void where the Introduction/Departure section used to be, they also learn about the many changes that have taken place on the cosmos – and the imminent doom of the strange “being that ate the Intro/Departure planet”, called many names such as the “Quiet Void”, the “Creeping Silence”, the “Voiceless”, the “Galactic Glutton”, and other things.

    The Green Gem's fleet – with OC as the captain – eventually reach the border of the Creeping Silence – an enormous spherical black “gap” in space that appears to perfectly surround the Introduction/Departure world. What is more, it is clear that the Creeping Silence is rapidly expanding. The fleet attempts to enter the space, but inside – to their surprise – they are met by strange attacks from the warped spacetime inside the gap itself, as if in a storm. Some ships are literally “dissolved” into the gap's space, while others are ejected out of it. The gap emits a few more of its black spheres to chase after the other ships, but these eventually dissipate outward. It is later learned that these dissipated spheres had consumed another planet – proving the myth of this Creeping Silence. The remaining fleet regroup in the Discussion section, where OC and a few closer friends engage in a night of starlight festival dates (with OC being mocked due to his loyalty to “a Lady”, where he cannot say Lady Jayn's name in public). Here, they reflect upon the stars and thinks about the Captain, and cringe at the injustice of how the man who gave them a home was cruelly defeated. Eventually, with information from the residents, they are ready, and set off again.

    The fleet once again reaches the gap and enters. This time, the fleet stays intact, but OC realizes the deeper they go, more of OC's fellow crew members disappear slowly and slowly. The storm-like surges eventually become too much for OC's flagship and it crashes in an unknown pocket of compressing space. OC later wakes up on a vast clear puddle reflecting the stars, marked with a few torches here and there. Looking at their reflection, OC is forced to fight this reflection as it emerges out of the water and takes the shape of the Captain. It emits quotes that the Captain had previously said to musical tunes, and when OC defeats it and it shatters into crystalline pieces, the entire plane collapses and OC is sent into a dazed state.

    OC here sees a flashback, narrating it directly. It is of an unknown young gentleman who OC seems slightly familiar with. Dressed elegantly, it tells the story of this young man being a very elegant and well-versed staff member. In his newest state, he befriends a young lady – also a very elegantly dressed new staff member, and he is shown to be visiting the various worlds, gaining the positive fervour of the cosmos. A genius of law and mathematics, he completely rewrites the cosmic rules and justice system, and brings further peace to many worlds. However, he begins to fall in love with the young lady – the only other person who treats him not as just a staff member but as a human. They court each other, dance, and even have training fights together. But these positives do not last for too long. At this time, the staff are a very visible presence around the cosmos, and the amount of messages and creepy offers to the man's lady become infuriating to the man, who has become slightly clingy. He tries his best to dissipate these increasingly harassing letters to the lady, but efforts grow worse as he has a slight falling out with her and a number of older planet citizens begin protesting his law reforms. He sets off away from the staff to travel the planets in a similar vein as OC did, personally attempting to get rid of the letters that harass his female companion. The man mistimes a number of these, leading to him getting into fights with a number of members. His female companion begins fighting with him for having to fight with others, saying “that is not proper staff conduct, especially over personal issues”. The public's opinion of him begins to degrade slowly, and begins to grow distant from his female companion yet cannot think of her as anyone else but the only one who can understand him. However, it is upon deciding the fate of a certain ban appeal that results in a final disagreement between the man and the woman. The man breaks the tie of the vote, and this startles the woman, who firmly believes that the appealed person's offence should not let them be released. They break up, and this sends the man into agony. The appeal will take another year to go through. In this time, the staff slowly erase all traces of what is known of their images by the populace, leaving only writing, and begin to remove themselves from visibility because of the backlash that the man will generate.

    Blaming himself, he sets away from the rest of the staff and drifts among the planets, known as the “forsaken staff member”, attempting to drown his sorrows. He eventually gets into another fight with a former harasser of his ex-girlfriend, and accidentally harms the man to the point of near-death. Due to such improper conduct, the man is stricken of his rank and is banned from society for a while. It is here that the lady reveals characteristics showing she is Lady Jayn. The man is eventually released and assumes a new name, drifting to the shadowy underworld of the Spam Zone due to the fact that he had shamed himself with his former identity. He later meets the member that he had voted yes to their freedom – the formerly permabanned member, the OC, and the rest is history.

    OC once again wakes up, this time on a grassy plain by the stars. This revelation causes OC to lose their mind, and it is reflected in the nature of the environment itself, which twists and turns to former scenes of OC's past experience, as OC walks through this on the single straight path. OC is temporarily brought back to sanity when they once again return to the vast starlit puddle plane. Here OC sees the figure of the Captain again – stating that OC knows about his past, and calling this vast plane the “Waltz of the Meridian”, or the border between the physical manifestations of thought and pure thought itself. The Captain claims that all of his efforts were really a way to get back at his failures of the people and how corrupt he became as staff. The Captain started the rumour of the civil war to undermine the staff and overpower the members. The Captain claims that all he can do now is consume and consume, as this giant spatial gap is a manifestation of his own conscience. The Captain and OC get into a final duel over the sorrows and the loyalty over Lady Jayn, and it is revealed that the Captain had black hole powers in his possession, explaining this giant black hole-like scenario and a few other minor implied and foreshadowed uses while captain of the space pirates. The battle rips apart the gap slowly, but the Captain is eventually defeated by the arrival of Lady Jayn – the Captain and Lady Jayn talk, and the mutual apologies and forgiving allow the Captain to disappear. Lady Jayn turns to OC and claims that she had to use the OC in order to settle this issue once and for all and get in contact with the Captain again, but the OC, finally realizing their efforts, feels that they have been in the shadow of too many people for two long, and wishes to quit the staff to be an independent person, and be no longer used by anyone. Lady Jayn claims they can only do this if they beat her in a duel, and the two have a final musical fight, where it is shown that Lady Jayn has time powers, explaining her amazing reaction skills and strange time periods in the Captain's story. Lady Jayn is defeated with the power of OC's individual will, and as she disappears, the gap begins to disintegrate. OC, however, now quickly realizing all of the challenges towards their beliefs, breaks down and blacks out.

    OC now floats through space, where their voice cannot be heard as a whole. However, they drift through the debris of the Green Gem fleet and they are able to travel through the wreckage. By OC's own will, they find some survivors – some of OC's closest friends, and sing a song led by OC themselves into the stars in order to call for help, where “a single voice may not receive any heed but many voices echo through the universe”. Jayn's old staff ship appears, as if on queue, and the members of Green Gem are permitted to board. Here, OC relinquishes his redshift to the admins, despite them having passed the test with flying colours, and returns with the Green Gem to the Spam Zone, and the Green Gem are surprised at how far the staff went to keep the peace among the people, and how friendly the staff can be if they become more visible and active, at the exchange of being treated more respectfully. In the Spam Zone, the Green Gem is treated with a hero's welcome, but the OC hides themselves away from the crowds, and slowly wades through the backstreets to their old apartment – possibly having seen a trace of Lady Jayn hiding herself. In the old apartment, they reach their where they slowly tuck themselves in bed and rest, but not after singing the song that the Captain first taught them when they were indoctrinated into the Captain's “family”.

    Café Session # 3
    Literate Beans Group: Here


    Hey all! I know we've been on a bit of a hiatus, but it's time to get this pot stirring (again). :B

    Anyway, the last two sessions have been made to more or less let everybody get comfortable and let loose. However, now we will begin to move into more thematic discussion, the first of which will be centered around characters.

    And some questions for you lot (YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ANSWER THEM ALL LOL):


    What do you think makes a good character?

    What are some examples of good and bad characters you've seen (can be from any medium, film, novel, etc.) Why do you feel this way?

    What are some characters that you've written before? Describe them. What do they look like, what are their motivations, what's their personality like, what are their fears, etc.?

    Would you be friends with your character? Why?


    And finally, if you do choose to do so, you may ask to have your character critiqued, and receive feedback on them. This feedback can be positive traits you find endearing about the character, any improvements you may think the characters needs to be strengthened, and so on. Who knows, you may even learn something new about your character in the process!

    As the Music Trade/Request Thread has died down a bit (much to my iPod's displeasure :'c), this is sort of building off of that thread, and also adding a bit more interactivity. To spare any further plumecdotes:



    [​IMG] A b o u t


    Here in this thread, you may sign up to build playlists of recommended music for other members. However, instead of just a general post, you'll be assigned a random member from this sign up list, and give them music you think they'd really be able to get into.

    In a sense, it is similar to our Secret Santa event, but instead of gifts you get to spread and expand your own musical taste.

    For the most part, I'd urge you to work off genres as much as possible, to introduce a wider variety of artists to another person. However, if you know a few songs by said artist that they might not know (either because it's not as popular or that person is just getting into them), you can feel free to include them in your playlist.

    For this event, we'll be using this nifty site called 8tracks. While it does require sign up, it's very user friendly and the upload process is quite simple. It also let's you add your own album cover to personalize it (max size is 500x500), and it is even YouTube compatible! Tutorial coming soon. (Actually mean that this time oop).

    1. All Main Site Rules and the Music Section's Rules apply.

    2. At least 8-10 tracks per playlist. This is to ensure a more broad range of things are presented rather than just a playlist filled with your top favorite band.

    3. Sign-Ups will be reopened every week. With school going on and all, I understand that time may be pretty short for most. For convenience's sake, everyone has a week to build their playlist and award it to their assigned person. However, as with Secret Santa, if you do not hand in your playlist by the designated date, I WILL TRACK YOU DOWN.

    4. Have fun! This is meant to be a light-hearted activity, and one that each and every member of the forum can enjoy. c:

    Had this on vBulletin, remembered this wasn't here when I noticed the UNGODLY HORROR of code in the List of Books thread.

    Possible to get this back, Admins? I know it probs won't be retroactive, but it would be very useful for the future.

    KH-Vids: The Musical
    MAIN THREAD (x)


    What Is This? ⬊

    The KHV Musical is a site-wide collaboration that will be worked on over the course of the next year. The project will bring together various creative sections of KH-Vids and will ultimately result in an actual musical that will be released to the public September 2013. The musical will feature original artwork, original music and lyrics and an original screenplay. It will be showcasing the various voice talents of our very own KH-Vids members, and there will be auditions held for parts starting in May!

    The musical will be compiled in the Visual Novel software Ren'Py, and there will also be a watchable Youtube version, and perhaps a Livestream of the play-through at some point. The estimated run time is 45 minutes to an hour, or so, but there is not fixed time.

    Timeline ⬊

    Late September - October: Characters, Setting, Story/Plot
    November - December: Screenplay, Logo
    January - February: Concept and Character Art.
    March - April: Music & Lyrics
    May: Casting
    June: Audio Production //Singing
    July - August: Production



    Phase 1:⬊

    As seen from the above Timeline, this thread is dedicated to the Plotting of the Musical. In this thread, you may present any ideas that you have, whether it be related to which characters are where, what the story will be about, what kinds of conflict you want to develop -- all that fun stuff.

    While we are encouraging a broad spectrum of ideas, I must urge that you work within the realm of reason. Unfortunately, ideas to the scale of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann may not be the best type of narrative for a musical, much less one that can fit within the deadline for plotting.

    Furthermore, if you do wish to join the plotting, you must be sure you can maintain a consistent presence throughout this process. Jayn and I will be hunting you down if you begin to flake out (without good reason). We understand that school and real life definitely take priority, but for a project like this to get done, you need to try to at least put in as much a consistent effort as possible. Worse comes to worse, Jayn and I will finish writing the script ourselves, which is something both of us want to avoid lmao.

    When we have a few solid ideas, they will all be put into a poll thread where you, the members, will select the one you think would be best.

    Other than that, you may feel free to let your ideas . If you have any questions, please ask Plums and/or Jayn and we will gladly assist.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: If you see a plot you like in this thread PLEASE 'LIKE' THE POST.
