Alright, here we go... time for a Round Robin S'cubie-style! And, since I can hear ya'll saying, "What the heck are you talking about, Rae?!" I'll explain. The Sitch: It'll be an open round robin that everyone can participate in... regardless of writing ability. I'm going to start us off with Chapter 1 and, from there, the following chapters will be up for grabs as soon as the previous chapter has been posted to the website. To claim a chapter, you just have to be the first one to post your claim on this thread. The Rules: I want to keep this as simple as possible so I'm going to try this with only a small number of rules to start with and we'll adjust as we go. - Everyone gets a chance to write before we repeat. (Whether we repeat will depend on how many people want to participate. And, of course, if we're stalled the pinch-hitter rule is in effect which may lead to minimal repeat authors )
- Length: You never want them to be too long but, then again, who really digs short ones? Errmm, stories, that is!! I'd like to shoot for 12-15 chapters but we can adjust that once we know how many want to contribute. If we only have about 6 or 7 people writing, then we'll probably do 2 chapters a piece... you get the idea!
- Width: I like 'em thick, baby! Unfortunately, I tend to end up with skinny ones myself. So, I've decided there will be no rule here. You got a funny 6 line dialog you want to write and that's it? Go for it. Your chapters can be as skinny or as thick as you like (err, within reason please! too thick and it might not fit right).
- Where do you send your chapter? Send it to me at rae@soulfulspike.com and I'll get it off to Vlad for posting on the website, etc.
- Naming your files... to make it easy to keep track of all the files, can you name in the following manner: SRR1_[chapter #] For instance, my first chapter will be named... SRR1_1.doc.
- The most important rule of all... HAVE FUN!!!
Hmm, what else? Ok, just want to stress again... EVERYONE is welcome to participate. We want to make it fun for all so don't worry about writing ability... I don't so why should you?! The second post in this thread will contain the list of those who are participating and, as we go, who is writing each chapter. But, before I can that going, I need to know who wants to join in... So, if you're up for it, please add a post below showing your enthusiasm and, while you're at it, let me know where you prefer I start the story. Do you prefer Season 1 of Buffy or Season 2 of Angel... do you want me to get us going on a crossover or should I pick up in the alley where we left off? I make no promises and who knows where the story'll go after it leaves my hands but I'm open to suggestions while I work on this first chapter. Now, prove to me that I'll need more rules and overwhelm me with a positive response!!

I wanna play too. I'd like us to get the Angel gang out of the alley myself, but I'll play no matter what the storyline or if it's Buffy or Angel.

Getting them out of the alley sounds like a challenging exercise. But whatever you want to do is good for me. It will be fun to exercise the creative writing muscles again...and I only have to one or two chapters! No sagging middles!! HOORAY! ;D

Uh. I guess I'm sorta tossing my hat in the ring, too. If you guys are serious about different writing abilities being ok. And if you promise not to laugh in my face. Behind my back is fine, but ... you know. I'd be up for what happens after they get out of the alley. Or doing a different version of Buffy season 7. Or any season, really. Either show. I'm easy. Relatively speaking. Hey, anyone wanna write in a partnership? Do a chapter together? Lola

If you can find a partner, I say go for it! I'm trying not to impose too many restrictions this time around because I want it to be fun for everyone

Ok Joshua! A little birdie whispered in my ear that you probably won't be able to do this chapter 'cuz you've got a real life (or something like that). I don't have your email so this is gonna have to suffice... Can you post a note here by, umm, the morning of Wednesday July 14th if you are gonna be able to do Chapter 2? If not, I'll assume you can't and have someone else take claim it and then, if you get more time later, you can claim a later chapter. Thanks

Ok, everybody... Josh is MIA so... Chapter 2 is UP FOR GRABS!Somebody claim it.... quick Ummm. I'll take it, I guess? At least being second, if I suck real bad then the rest of the crew can make up for it in the next few chapters. How soon do you want the chapter back? Lola
