Boba Rhett Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 I know we have the trip story going but I think we should start another story of the epic proportions type. One like LotS. Only this time, we can work it to include many more people and more writers. Anybody have any ideas/suggestions about the setting and what the general idea of the story could be? Do you want another one set in the middle ages like LotS? Do you want it set in the future this time? What would you like the name of it to be? Who wants to be what? Good? Evil? Want it to be a surprise? There are many questions to be answered before we get this buggy moving. Let's go! Here are just a few thoughts of mine to throw out on the table to get this thing rolling. 1. Set in the future. Were on a giant space station, perhaps we form a rag tag team and lead a ship to somewhere to do something. Rescue someone? *shrug* Someof you could be aliens as well. 2. A prequel to LotS. You know the original tale we kept refering to in LotS? We could do that. Kinda like what the hobbit is in comparison to the LotR trilogy. 3. There is no clear cut good/bad guys. 4. Maybe we could all be bad? Maybe we're trying to steal something. 5. ....Our own version of Star Wars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenthunter Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Great idea Rhett! My prefferences would be that we make it directly in the Star Wars universe, or Middle-Earth. Either one would be cool. We should also write a bit of a background and personality for each of our characters, no matter what setting it is in, to make writing the story easier.

Boba Rhett Posted September 17, 2002 Author Share Posted September 17, 2002 Good idea too, SH. We'll write our own character bios before even starting the story. The Remastered Edition of LotS will have Bios as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy_dog no.3 Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 The future one. We already had a Middle-Earth one (LOTS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc Stryphe Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Thank you, Rhett. I was going to suggest that myself, but you beat me to it. I LOVE a fantasy midievel setting (ie Middle Earth), but would also gladly welcome a Star Wars adventure. I am leaning towards a LotS prequel (Would have to be, I'd be dead in the sequel! )!

Young David Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 I actually have an idea for a SW setting, before you posted about it. I even have a first chapter in my head. For a LotS prequel ... it will be hard, you have to track carefully who was in the original one, and who wasn't. And as I see it the prequel played a long time before the original story and there are only a few of the older players who were in that story (Myself being one of them as the wizzard who created a device for education ) My suggestion, assemble a small cast of writers (e.g. Rhett, Havoc, Eets, Sherack and myself), write the general story (and keep it secret), divide the chapters among the writers and get the story going. It will be the same for the public, but the story can improve on quality. Ofcourse I'd vote for the SW setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted September 17, 2002 Author Share Posted September 17, 2002 Yeah ok, we can do it that way but I want to develop all the characters more-so this time around than we did in LotS. More screen time and depth for everyone. Hows that sound to everyone? We can all give input on what we'd like our characters to be like in the story. We have people leaning every which way. Maybe we'll do both. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Homer Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 I have a confession to make.... I never fully read LotS....I got into the first couple of parts, but never fully completed it...if it is decided that we will do a prequel or sequel of said story, I shall immediately and quickly read the entire thing. Otherwise, I'll take my time to get through it all in my schedule. Sorry for letting down everyone...I'll go to my room now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tie Guy Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Definately star wars! We have LOS and the funnny story, now we need an epic SW adventure, SW is why we're all here anyways, isn't it? As for setting, lets make it about the Sith War. I know there not alot of information about that time period, but that just leaves more room for creativity.

Eets Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 I think it should be a modern-day sitcom with lots of people in a few apartments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 The -45th forum legion. A goofball bunch of stormtroopers on a mission to capture (i.e.- melt to a scortching black spot) the planet that is only shown by a strange abbriviation..."RSN"...on the quest reality turns into spoons and many have strange inclinations to eat their hands off and then try to use it as a puppet...can the legion capture this doomed planet? tune in next time... same bat time... same bat thread...
