Chapter 004
-
@Falconius I’m thinking that I’d probably write Le Maçon going into the lake, should I just make up what happens, or do you have something specific in mind?
Even to make up what happens, I’d want to get a clearer picture of Spider Queens in general, what their “powers” are, etc. I could start a new thread about that, I probably should.
-
aaa I forgot about this yesterday and got caught up with other stuff. (Sunday is usually my writing day.) I’ll see where I can fit it in, not sure I’ll be able to get it out during the week this week, but will make an effort. (Not bc of pressure, I’d prefer it that way myself.)
-
@falconius my original plan had been to write an entire encounter with a Spider Queen in the lake. That would be a big chapter. Now I’m wondering if it might be better off if I just get the story up to them being able to have a conversation, and then hand it back to you. Do you have any thoughts or preferences?

Do you want a back and forth? That might be difficult if we take into account communication delays. Or do you want to maybe suggest the questions or conversation he’d seek to have, and then i do the same snd then have one of either of us write it?

Both are very interesting ideas. Let’s try the second (to avoid scheduling issues, like you pointed out). I’d get the chapter up to the conversation (I’m pretty close to that, but it’s a rough draft and there are some parts I really want to clean up), and then I’ll make a separate post about what I’m thinking (questions/the convo Le Maçon would want to have).
-
I should be close to done now, over 2k words, but I’m happy with it. It still needs some finishing touches.
It gets through the first couple of lines of dialogue between Le Maçon and a Spider Queen at the bottom of the lake. As usual, I have a ton of thoughts about her, where the conversation could go, etc, but I think the better part of valor should be not trying to lock in too much. I’ll share the better ideas (imho) I’ve had about her backstory when I post.

@Quint I thought you were going to edit your parts into what @falconius had written in chapter 004, but I see you’ve submitted a new chapter (005, which I look forward to reading shortly). Nevertheless, chapter 004 remains incomplete as there are some sections in brackets which look to have been awaiting @quint input and amendment. Particularly, the below section:
[Should this rage episode be removed? I wrote it before you mentioned the rarity of it’s occurrence.]
Have I understood this correctly, or was this just a writing note, within @falconius chapter, to come back to himself and refine?

Truth is, if that had been the plan, I’d lost track of it. @falconius did you want me to make a pass on 004?
-
Feel better, @falconius , sorry to hear that.
-
I don’t even know what that means… so no…
I will note I’ve had an ear infection for the last couple of days which may delay my work on the next bit.

WFR is more self directed roleplaying writing, or at least as I was conceiving it. Basically the author/player is handing it back to the GM when they decide they want outside/GM input in the story. It’s a way of writing where the player has all the control they want within the parameters of the world and setting, but can always reach out for things unforeseen or unknown or alternative to help reset or whatever is required at the moment.
So it could be back and forth every paragraph (though I see logistical issues arising with that, since we can’t even arrange a couple of hours for a live game), or it could be pages and pages of writing and then throwing it back to the GM for a small section, before continuing on. Or it could be one day a back and forth, the next day pages and pages.
I think WFR stands for Writing, Free-Roleplay.
