Chroniclers: A Creative Writing RP Project - Lupo - 10-11-2013 Hello ladies and gents of RPC! Henceforth I am going to describe and outline the project that is what prompted me to begin RPing in FFXIV:ARR in the first place and I wanted to gather the community's opinions, feedback, and assistance on the matter. Currently, as it stands right now, there are close to 100 very talented individuals in the community with very creative minds, an aptitude for writing, and an eye for detail. So my thought is to tap into that talent by introducing a Chronicler Project (name pending). The News! The News! Wrote:Any project worth its salt has an organized way of reporting news! I've added this section as of 10/23/2013 to do just that! I'll probably include attendance as well as other announcements in a little list here for quick reading. For now, the plans are thus: Planned Project Stages
What differentiates this project proposal compared to the Journal Section on this site is the end goal. I would like to slap this text into a word doc, following typical English language art rules and narrative structure and eventually be able to print it on a page, so that someone can sit down for a few hours and read about a good story in their favorite world. Another distinction from what you normally read about here is that the stories END. Not with death, but think of a story arc or similar. I admit, the work is probably a bit redundant from what already goes on here, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone already has something similar going, but let me know. Obviously, this is a lofty project and a week worth of RP can turn out to be a months worth of work and editing, but the important thing about ambition is to not just talk about it but to start working! To that end, I have done the following:
General Guidelines
I'd like to help! What do I do?? If you'd like to help, here is a section where you can find that info! I am looking for any and all help. After all, this project is the product of FFXIV, an MMORPG, so by default must be a group effort! Steps to Help
Also to help clarify things, here are some arbitrary terms that have no academic meaning that I am using just to differentiate characters and storylines so no one gets confused. List Of Terms (please let me know if you think anything should be changed)
Of course, all other RP terms commonly in use apply here to. (I.E. IC, OOC, etc.) For now, this is all the information I have clearly thought out, but I will add more as is appropriate. The following post will outline the current project status, contributors and other important social info. Project Progress In this post, I will include and update any project progress and notes and other notable information. The titles should be fairly self explanatory but please let me know if there is any questions or suggestions for this section of the post! Current Participants All names listed are the FORUM user names. This may change later. For now, I am in all three categories since I am doing the work alone, but I will probably step down from one or more of these positions if more people join the project. Writers

I'm going to try to keep this going without losing too much steam and if you'd like to help contribute that would be great! If you can send a brief PM or reply with this thread with [I'd Like to Help!] at the top or something with the following information. Preferred Name: (For proper credits!) Main RP Character: (Who you primarily play as) Alternate "Chronicler": (If applicable. The character you created to serve as the narrator to your story.) Writing Experience: (Just in general is fine. I won't discriminate on this, just so I have an idea of your ability. Heck you'll probably be better than me!) Story Proposal: (Which story you would like to contribute to! It can be a new story or an existing one. Example: I'd like to write about the RP I am in! Example 2: I'd like to help with Balthazar's story!, etc etc. Please include who your narrator will be and who the Narrative Lead will be.) With that being said, for all others, I am editing the OP to include a formal application template just to keep things organized but know that I am accepting ANY and ALL help from respectful, mature players. :-) RE: Chroniclers: A Creative Writing RP Project - CallmeYahweh - 10-15-2013 This sounds awesome. I'm definitely willing to get involved in it. I've got several years of writing experience under my belt (and a few published short stories to boot!) as well as professional editorial experience. Feel free to drop me a PM if you need an extra hand, etc. RE: Chroniclers: A Creative Writing RP Project - Lupo - 10-15-2013 (10-15-2013, 07:28 PM)CallmeYahweh Wrote: This sounds awesome. Sounds like a plan! You should see a PM from me soon-ish. I'm gonna let the thread soak for a bit, but if you'd like to read what I have already written to get a feel for what I am trying to do, I would certainly encourage it!
