A Nova English Community Book?

[Josephus I]

Well I was thinking, a dangerous thing I know but meh... Anyway, as we have seen for years now across several nations there was always the old activity grabber known as the one word story but in several nations there has also been the more cultural advancement of this...Being that each participant would write a certain amount of words [I.e A paragraph] then following a already laid out storyline it would end in what would hope to be a fairly decent story....An example of this can be found in Ashkenatza or though to be honest it has been pretty dead as of late.

So yeah I would like to hear your ideas on whether this would be a project that would be worth taking on. Because even if its a fairly short story we could make several and end up with a series of decent Nova English/Britannian fiction Of course it would have to still run somewhat paralell with our ongoing Book of the Lance which still needs to be finished but I figured it could always help build our cultural structure up!

So ideas on whether firstly one thinks this is a good idea and two what kinda of storyline we should aim for!

I don't see why not Sire, sounds like a very good idea. As for storyline, I'm not entirely sure, i don't suppose it matters too much to begin with!

Right now that I've finished all those essays, I can start giving a bit more time over to this project! I suppose we have to firstly have to figure out how many words we are looking to aim for or should we just let it naturally evolve?

Right and storyline ideas...

So do we want to do it in the same way as Ashkenatzia and follow a character as they travel across the nation. Hence have a main character who is forced for some reason or another to trek across the nation through our many cities and towns?

Or have the story based around a few locations and build upon those locations in detail?

On the basis of the actual main character do we want to use one of the following?

Marcus Broadwater – A young private in the Nova English Infantry. Currently on leave for Post-traumatic-Stress Disorder following his action during the reclamation of Heartpool.

Olric Tellus – An old priest from a rich Nobel family who was forced to leave his parish during the great evacuations of the fatherland.

Ceolfrith Grit – A middle aged news journalist for the Sword and Cross. Bored with life and always looking for that big story no matter the cost.

Galan Forit – A tired politician that narrowly survived an assassination attempt from a SLA cell. Looking to avenge his now kidnapped brother.

So yeah theres a few MC ideas to build upon at least so lets here your ideas
