The title is still opened to debate, but I thought the story fitted the metaphor of the Ouroboros. And Isa like it, too, so yeah. :cute:

At the moment, the authors are:
Alice, Elizabeth, Fatma, Isa, Megan, Ruby, Sam and myself.

I'm going to write the first chapter/story if nobody has a better idea. It's going to be about a writer who tries to write the/our story, I'm not completely sure how it's going to sound yet, but I'm inching my way there. I'm curious to hear what you guys want to make out of your chapters/stories and who wants to go after me and just generally debate what you think of the story so we can come up with a coherent summary and a clear vision on what we want to achieve. I had the idea of the story-writing technique but you wonderful people will elaborate on it.

Seeing as Andy came up with the idea, I think she deserves to write the first chapter, if she wants to? :weird

As for the banner... what would we have as the picture?

Let's call me a genius after I finish writing my chapter. :shifty Better still, when the whole story is finished. Wow

I honestly don't know what could be on the banner. It should be something mysterious and alluring. -?- We'd need to know a bit about how the other stories are going to look, methinks. We could use the Dali painting, ..or not.

It looks like this, I liked the way things jump out of the pomegranate and wanted to read a story where you jump from one story in another and so on.

I adore that painting. In Love
The fact that it's about a dream makes it even more apt. It should definitely be considered.

ZOMGZ, I'm so late :cheese: Hello, everyone :XD

And ohhh, I love that painting :cheese: but isn't it somewhat explicit, disregarding all censorship and stuff, cause we don't want people complaining about kids being on the site and being exposed to -gasp- nudity D:

^I think it's like 'artistic' nudity. It's not meant to be alluring, but simply an image.

Or we can blur out the nipples or something :lmfao That really fits the story, though :tehe:

That never crossed my mind. :XD

These days I'm trying to stay away from the computer as much as possible to get a lot of reading and writing done. It's not working all that well, but I'm positive I'll finish the story/chapter by the end of next week. I don't want to rush other people, nor do I expect everybody to hurry as much as I did with their story, I just wanted to get it done while I'm still in a creative mood. What I came here to say, however, was that I don't want to post the story until we have at least two/three chapters written because I hate waiting more than a week between story updates. Would that be okay?

^ I agree with that, at least then updates will flow evenly , because i know what a pain it is to have the huge gaps in between new chapters (mostly because i'm guilty of that myself :tehe:)

I can sort something a bit spiffy with the banner and the painting (which is amazing y the way) if you guys like?. Photoshopnerdtothemax :shifty:

Yes, I agree with the idea about waiting before updating. I can't write to deadlines for the life of me.

And Ruby wins at making banners. I don't think anyone will be disappointed with what she comes up with. :tehe:

rightt i've got the banner half sorted, i am wondering what we are doing but the whole censorship issue. Will it matter due to the piece being art or am I going to be photoshopping a bra onto her or god knows what :lmfao

EDIT ;

it's a work in progress :weird:

oh and maybe we can sort out some kind of posting order? :tehe:
