About This Blog.
OK - back from brunch. some food and a couple pints and everything is much clearer now!
Had this idea and bounced it off of Chan Thai Long who happened to be online. Thai Long thought it was a good idea and so I set it up. And here we are. What is "it"?
What is this Blog?
This blog is a soap opera. There are to be seven characters in this blog, each of whom post on a different day of the week. Characters can present their own interpretations of events that have been reported to have happened and also introduce new events into the plot through their own posts. The story is continuous and built upon the plot created by all of the characters as they post each week.
Things To Do
* finish casting
* determine any guidelines for content/posting
* fix the template so that it says "cast" or "starring" instead of 'contributors '; get rid of that extra line in the sidebar too.
* start the 1st season!
Some initial thoughts:
- all plot happens inside this blog
- characters can only edit their latest post on their day = characters cannot retroactively change the plot by editing their old posts. no editing would the best so all readers read the same thing.
- characters can only link back to other character's posts, never their own.
- characters can't/shouldn't post comments on posts other than their own to keep the plot in the main posts.
- if a person wants leave the blog, we get to kill them off! maybe having something cool like a little flash movie when someone gets killed off, or an acted out mp3 phone call, or something like that as it would be a big turning point and also the introduction of a new character.
Any thoughts?
