More Than A Band

@ Javin Pilotte
Me too, to be honest. I guess it's because I haven't written anything serious in a long time, I'd just lost my touch. I'm trying to get back to writing though.

So if everyone else is down with the UK setting, we need to discuss about the posting order and the plot. And then we can decide who'll do the summary and the story page and the layout and stuff.

@ charity_hope
I'm alguds with UK but I don't know the way the school system works to well

@ Death The Angel
We can do the research together. To be honest, I'd never really written about UK school system as well. And Kayleigh knows a lot about the system too. We can help each other out.

@ charity_hope
@ Death The Angel
I'm guessing this story is more character-driven than plot-driven, right?
We'll have to figure out which order and how all their character's problems are developed and how the band will play into it! :)

@ Javin Pilotte
Yeah... that would be cool. The posting order. And then we can see how the story develop from there.

@ charity_hope
That sounds good to me!
Does anyone want to volunteer for the layout, summary, etc???

@ Javin Pilotte
@ charity_hope

If someone could help me with the summary then I can do the layout and create the story and add everyone :)

@ Death The Angel
Hm...how about something like this...? Or is it too much?

"Every band has a story of how they formed. Some were best friends from the beginning, others just stumble across one another and instantly click. Some are even paired together by music mongrels and manage to fit together perfectly.

Our beginning wasn't that smooth. We didn't know each other, some of us didn't like another, and we certainly did not want to join forces. It was [insert teacher's name] that unveiled us to, well, ourselves. It was her that made us into a group, and it was our determination to one-up each other that allowed us to actually realise our potential.

It's funny how a group of people from different walks of life can come together and work through situations that end up being trying. If you think starting a band is easy, then you truly have no clue."

@ charity_hope
@ Javin Pilotte
Yes, I know a lot about the system. After all, I've been in the same high school for the past seven years.

@ castiel's vessel
I think the second summary of the summary kinda reveals too much about the story. But I love the last paragraph. Maybe change something in the first paragraph, ditch the second paragraph all together and somehow fits it to the third one?

@ charity_hope
Hm...how about:

"Every band has a story of how they formed. Some were best friends from the beginning, others just stumble across one another and instantly click. There are even some paired together by music mongrels and manage to fit together perfectly. But sometimes it seems like fate picks random people and pairs them together in order to make a whirlwind result.

It's funny how a group of people from different walks of life can come together and work through situations that end up being trying. If you think starting a band is easy, then you truly have no clue."

@ castiel's vessel
That's perfect! I love the sound of it Thanks Kayleigh

@ castiel's vessel @ charity_hope @ Javin Pilotte

Oh, what about a cover image? :O

@ Death The Angel
For the story? It could be something as simple as a set of drums, or a microphone.

@ castiel's vessel
Ah! That's perfect!

@ Death The Angel
And I agree with Kayleigh. Maybe just a set of instruments that the band use? I'll try to find something.

What do you guys think about these pictures? We can vote to pick the cover image. Or if you don't like any of these, we can find something else.

One

Two

Three

I like the first one for the cover image!

I was thinking of using this for the layout title but I can keep looking if you want?

@ Death The Angel
YO I REALLY LIKE THAT FOR THE TITLE

@ Javin Pilotte
Awesome

I'm going to make a bunch of different layouts, just let me know which one you like best and or what you'd like to change about it!

First one:


Second one:


Those are what I've made so far

@ castiel's vessel @ charity_hope

@ Death The Angel
Hmmm I like the second one! But now that I think about it, that image is cool but maybe it's a bit too strong for a title image. You feel? xD

@ Javin Pilotte
Oh yeah, I totally get what you mean! I'll try use some of Lina's images and see how that goes! :D
