Quote:Yeah, the story-teller part is what my character would do.. But I don't think ICly he would join in on some kind of organization to do it, it would mostly be OOCly organized.
I guess what I was thinking is that.. Okay. Think of all the stories we know IRL. Jack and Jill. The Gingerbread man. Maybe those are bad examples. Hansel and Gretel. You know what I am getting at. IRL we have stories we've heard about people, even if they aren't quite famous, that people tell stories about. Usually they are for kids, but I think if we made a sub-forum or forum thread for a collection of stories people could make up, that don't go against lore, story tellers or people planning on telling stories could use some in their roleplays.
Maybe it would kinda be redundant, or maybe we should make it membership-based, so if you are a story teller you have access to the library of stories to use, that way the stories can't get ruined by reading them all on the thread before you hear them ICly.
I think it would be really interesting if we could do this, or something like it. Although I suppose I am more attracted to an OOC organized effort rather than my character being a part of an unoffical "guild of storytellers" sort of thing. But then again, that could always change.
Sorry if that was kinda wordy, sometimes I have trouble explaining whats running through this noggin' of mine.
I suppose what I mean is all those "Brother's Grim" stories, King Arthur and the knights of the round table, Robin Hood.
Stuff like that.. I think if we made new stories for Final Fantasy's universe, or at least lore-abiding or following to be semi-believable. Or maybe they could even be made up fantasy stories just for entertainment, but either way.
If we had a huge library of stories like this written by other players that we could say our characters know ICly by being story tellers (we can think deeper for an IC reason as to how they came to knowledge of them if this idea takes), such as a forum or something that is need-to-know based, so only story-tellers could access the library, it would be amazing for us story tellers.
I think if everyone can go see the stories it would ruin the chance for them to hear it ICly, and just as all telephone games go, our characters would be telling the story with their own 'voice', so that is where the different versions of the stories would come into play ( we all know how many different movies there are for King Arthur and Robin Hood).
No no no no no, sorry for the confusion. Story tellers aren't part of anything. They are just random people telling stories at the events. That's it. They are not associated at the gathers at all.
What's going on is simply gathers gathering the people in a city together and to share stories with everyone while gathering the stories down at the same time. Storytellers and observers are the same thing. They are the attendee's of the event. I don't think we should be creating a repository for everyone since this is supposed to be a simple thing that is really only meant oocly to get people together and to show off people's talents for writing stories and what not.
Its not that I don't like your idea its just going way past what I intend with this project.
