More Than A Band

@ Death The Angel
It's not exactly a bad title. It fits and has a simplicity to it that appeals to people, so if we can't think of anything else, it wouldn't be a half-bad title.

@ castiel's vessel
That's true, it also isn't misleading haha and it is on point with our plot

@ Death The Angel
@ castiel's vessel
Yeah I can't think of anything else either, and it really even isn't half-bad. I like it! We can leave it as that, no problem, and change it if we think of something with more of a punch???

Also is there anyone who has a posting order preference? Like you like going first or last or somewhere in the middle?

@ Javin Pilotte
I'm down with that. And nope. I don't mind where I am, although preferably not first but I can be if needed. We could always go by the order the characters are in on the first page's post.

@ castiel's vessel
That sounds good to me!

Is there anything else we need to discuss?

@ Javin Pilotte
Going by the list on the previous page and the first post:
Overall plot
Layout
Summary
Setting

@ Javin Pilotte

Setting would be at a high school right? If so, I kind have an idea of how to introduce Ali

@ Death The Angel
I think it means geographical setting. All good saying high school but American high school is different to British, etc.

@ castiel's vessel
True, I don't know the British school system and I only know the cliché American system. Geographical wise I don't mind where they are It'd definitely have to be either American or British though haha. How easy is it to get well-known in Britain compared to America?

@ castiel's vessel
@ Death The Angel
An American high school would be easiest for me too!
I only know a little bit about the Scottish school system, which I'm guessing is similar to the British, but I probably know about the Japanese school system more than that, so I don't think I'll be able to write the British school system very well right now. xD But if we choose British, I can totally do research on that. Easy-peezy.

Geographically I want them to be somewhere with all seasons. Not like Florida where it rarely snows. x] But other than that I'm AOK with anywhere!

@ Death The Angel
For bands? Considering the UK is waaaay smaller than the US, I'd say probably easier than the US. Small bands play in student unions so that probably definitely helps with promoting their popularity, and a lot of it is word of mouth (plus Facebook, etc.)

@ Javin Pilotte
I only know those really cliche, stereotypical American schools which I assume are not entirely true to reality. What age are they going to be? 16-17/17-18? With the British school system, we'd have the option for them to be either in college and doing a course (or their A-Levels) or sixth form where they'd do their A-Levels, where in their first year they'd do four subjects and their second year they'd do three. We also start high school at 11, so if we did go for the British school system, they'd have had five years of mandatory education together, with their voluntary two years making the total be seven years that they've known each other in the same school (and after the five years and you get into sixth form, teachers get super-friendly and super personal). Also, with Joey, football is really big over here, like massive and everyone gets drunk when it comes to football because it's just the sport, so yeah, just throwing that out there.

@ castiel's vessel
Football is really big over here too and huge and everyone gets drunk at my college and high and stuff for it too. (High schools depend, they are really not standardized at all. Some get big with it, some (like my high school) only have a few scattered people and just the band on the bleachers).
...
Oops I just realized you're probably talking about soccer football, not American football. xD /flies into the sun/

It makes sense that it's easier to get popular in the UK too. That sounds fun!

Oh wow, knowing of each other for so long can lead to a lot of stuff, so that seems really enjoyable to write. For example, they can judge each other on rumors they heard or stumbled across each other before, and that can lead to some of their initial conflict maybe? I think the US have super friendly and personal teachers for all grades. I love writing super friendly and personal teachers, so having them in the UK sounds really good right now too.

@ Javin Pilotte
Yeah, the football where they kick the ball, can't touch it, and roll about like wimps on the floor if someone is within five metres of them.

Oh, knowing kids from when they were 11 has its down, like everyone saw you when you were going through your awkward adolescent growing. But if we did do the British high school, it could count for why Isobel learns other people's secrets and exposes them. Kids are very cruel at 11 and maybe she came from a primary school that no one else did and therefore was the brunt of rumours for her first two years until everyone was 13 and it revolved around sex and drinking and seshing. Most teachers hate the kids from years 7-11, unless they're super smart and suck-ups, and then sixth form comes along and they'll have a laugh, treat you like adults, talk about personal things that they would never have done in the previous years.

I'M BACK PEOPLE!! I'm sorry for disappearing. My brain cells are completely fried but... I don't care.

So... I'd been trying to come up with some phrases that can be used for the title but I can't exactly remember right now. I'll get back to you guys about it later.

As for the posting order, I don't mind whichever turn I get.

And as for setting, yes, I do mean geographical setting. I'd never written a story set in UK high school. But we can always research so all is good.

I have to catch up with everything but... I'm excited because my finals are over!!! (I still have one paper but I'm not too worried about that one. )

@ charity_hope
Let us know whenever you remember them!
I'm glad it's all over Lina!

Have we decided on doing the UK thing?

@ Javin Pilotte
It seems that I can't remember them at all now. My brain is trolling me. Damn!

I'm down with the UK thing.

@ charity_hope
YEAHHHH ME TOO LET'S DO UK THEN.

Alrighty guys what's next?

(BTW Mibba feels helluva dead what is this madness)

@ Javin Pilotte
I agree. People are disappearing. And right when I'd started my break too.
