I'm taking mine down right now.

I am definitely not good at outlining and timelines, so if someone else could carry that torch, I'd be forever grateful.

OK, I saved Marissa's chapter (it's in my drafts), and I've taken that down as well!

How long has it been since Marissa has been active? We may have to write and then when she comes back we'll write her back in.

@ Properly Improper
It's been 6 months, she hasn't replied to two of my group writes. In one we're continuing without her. Yeah, if she comes back and she's still interested we can bring her back in. We can always write with her character in because she's writing as Eleanor, so that makes it easier.

@ ace merrill.
Okay. Let's do that. We can mention her and then just let her come back in if she returns and is still interested.

I've removed my chapter.

So unless anyone is changing their information, we have Lexi's due date in May, Chaney's in June, Iona's in September and then Kori's after the story's ended. And we were having this start in January and ending in September/early October time?

I reckon we should start this with a prologue where the guys are in a meeting with management discussing tour where one of the ones who already have their girl pregnant asks about whether she could come with them as they're going to be staying in hotels anyway it wouldn't be too much trouble. Then it could lead to the others being like "well, if he gets to bring her, we get to bring ours" so we get to establish that they're going on tour in one chapter. (I know that tickets go on sale around 6 months or more ahead of the event, so they all knew about the tour but it's about the specifics.)

So if we start in the middle of January with the prologue, the first three (?) chapters could be those girls making sure they are able to go on tour and that it doesn't conflict with anything in their life (and if Chaney is still telling Zayn in her first chapter, slip that in too), then the fourth girl could do the first chapter in February. The next chapter could be them actually going on tour and during the first concert, the girls start socialising and getting to know the ones that they've never really met before.

Honestly, there shouldn't be more than 5 chapters in each month. So we've got to be able to do time jumps between the chapters, and perhaps we should have the date at the top of each chapter or the description box of each chapter? And when we don't have a date, it could be 'late January' and 'early March' instead?

@ Halliwell
Sounds good to me. Prologue sounds like a great idea. It would clear the air a bit more.

As for Chaney, I think Im going to change it where she tells Zayn right away but doesnt tell anyone else. Not even Harry. Im revising my character bio now

@ EmzyStilinski
Do you have your old chapter saved? We've already removed our chapters!

@ Halliwell
OK, I really like all of this.

As for the prologue does anyone mind writing it?
I think the dates at the top of the chapter would be good. I like that rather than having it in the chapter description.

OK, from what I'm getting from the story line is that One Direction are all going through a baby situation, and the girls will form a pact to help each other out through their pregnancy and other stuff? And we go through their lives dealing with the pregnancies, and complications it'll bring or not bring (in Lexi's case)?

Lexi, Eleanor, and Chaney (idk the new name yet lol) will be pregnant at the beginning of the story, but Iona and Korinne won't be, right?

Are we still keeping the same posting order, or should we switch it up to fit our schedules (since a couple of us are busy with school and stuff)? I don't mind being second or third.

Also a new summary would be nice as well, for the page!

@ ace merrill.
I saved it and deleted it. Also, I can keep being second or switch to third.

A summary sounds good too.

As for the prologue, I think it would be better if one person wrote it. That way all the thoughts in the prologue would line up

@ ace merrill.
@ Properly Improper
@ EmzyStilinski

I think putting dates in the chapter would be a really great idea, and help us stay organized and on track!
I also think the prologue could be really useful, but it should only be written by one person.
I also think we should change the summary.

I don't mind going first still, unless someone else wants to go first?

@ ace merrill.
@ Properly Improper
@ EmzyStilinski

I don't mind putting something together for the prologue. It is better if only one of us wrote it, posted it here and the others provided feedback to make sure it's right.

With this 'pact' though, wouldn't it be difficult? They all are due at different times, Iona isn't announcing the pregnancy until she's about 25 weeks due to the complications during the first trimester, Kori is keeping it from Liam until she can no longer but Lexi is already quite progressed when this is starting. It seems better if this is more about the girls trying to bond with each other but some just don't bode well together, and the trials that pregnancy brings each couple.

Iona's pregnant at the beginning of the story (she became pregnant in the December) but she finds out she's 7 weeks in early February.

I don't mind keeping the same posting order.

@ Halliwell
@ EmzyStilinski
@ Properly Improper

Yeah, I agree with all of that ^!
So some of the girls don't get along with another, and the problems that each couple goes through with pregnancy.

For Kori, she'll be the type to hide away from everyone, and only keeping to one person (not including herself), Lexi. So maybe that turns one or two of the girls off from her. She's just too busy trying to repay everyone for every nice little thing they did for her. She's a pushover and wants to please everyone, and that will end up being a problem for herself, and Liam.

I'VE RENAMED MY CHARACTER:
Hadlee :)

Hadlee would probably not like Kori at first because Kori's reserved nd Hadlee's not.

@ EmzyStilinski
Yeah, Kori can be intimidated by Hadlee's boisterous attitude. Is Hadlee the type to be 'in your face' if she doesn't agree with what you say? If that's the case then Kori definitely would stay away from her.

@ ace merrill.
Yeah shes very opinionated and out spoked

@ ace merrill.
Yeah shes very opinionated and out spoken

I feel like Lexi wouldn't have issues with anyone because she's sort of a peace keeper and just wants everyone to have fun and love each other.

@ Properly Improper
Iona would probably have an issue with Lexi's 'wanting everyone to love each other' attitude. It would probably annoy her as well, at times.

@ ace merrill.
Iona probably won't make much of an effort, so as Kori's more reserved they probably really get to know each other well.

@ Halliwell
@ Properly Improper

Yeah, I can see Iona getting frustrated and stuff with Lexi's "rainbows and butterflies" viewpoint, while she is having complications, and Lexi is all well.

@ EmzyStilinski
Yeah, so Kori would steer clear of her.
