Zombies Co-Write

Well, my only thing with third person is it becoming to repetitive; like if any number of us write the same exact dialogue, I feel like readers would just start skimming and then lose focus... Well, at least that usually happens to me.

@ perfect disaster

I don't think we'll end up going over the same dialogue from the previous chapters, if that's what you're trying to get at? What I see from us writing in third person, is that our characters would be the main focus in our chapters, but we'll be writing like we're the only author to the story. Does that make sense?

OK, I think A Fatal Flaw is the title, since all three of us voted for it. Aside from Katie, who hasn't replied yet.

Anyways, maybe we should put what we all talked about in point form. Just so we have a story line to follow. And once it's in order, Katie can edit her first post and put it there, so we don't have to look through all the pages to find it again. Characters:
1. How do we get them to all meet?
2. Whose characters already know each other?
3. Who will die?
4. Who is the leader? (one to make all the plans on where to go and stuff)

Conflicts within the story:
1.
2.
3.
(...)

Friendships/Relationships:
1. How do the characters get along?
2. Relationships are to be discussed

Enemies:
1. Zombies.
2. The owner of the gated community.
3. Cannibals?
4. A member from another group?
5. A member within the group?

The big OMG moment:
... to be discussed.

Ending:
1. Who survives? Who dies?
2. Do we leave it with an open ending, meaning readers could make up the aftermath themselves?

So I know this isn't very helpful but I just want to get the ball rolling again..

But for the ending I think we should leave it open, like where the end isn't definite and the readers have to decide for themselves what happened. Kind of like the ultimate cliffhanger.

Third is fine with me, I just don't want it to get confusing.
Ultimate cliffhanger... I like it.
I know we've talked a little bit about characters, but would it be a little bit easier if we went and fleshed out our characters? We don't have too, I just think it might make the rest of the process a little easier.

What do you mean by fleshed out exactly? Sorry just a little confused!

@ Wynnie Shawn

Just adding more detail, that's all.

Oh! Okay well there is a character submission somewhere. I already submitted my character Amber and once everyone finishes theirs, we an discuss the actual characters.

We suck at this... I think we just have to make the decision if we're going to continue this or not because it doesn't look like Katie is going to reply.

@ Wynnie Shawn
@ perfect disaster

Haha, omg. We do suck at this! I'm game, if both of you want to continue?

@ She Said Poptarts

Yeah as long as you guys still want to then I'm in :)

So I know it's been a year - sorry I kinda just... disappeared for over a year - but if you're all in then so am I!
