This is what goes down.

Personally, I think we're all just a bunch of morons, but that's okay. Morons are fun.

This Chain Mail story was meant to be fun. Please keep that in mind.

But before I dive into accusations and fix-er-up solutions, I'd like to bring up one thing.

THIS WAS MEANT FOR AT MOST FIVE PEOPLE.

It's become insane. Huge.

Way too many people.

And that is one reason it's too hard to write. So our main idea of driving a story forward has to be put aside. With this many people, we have to create a WORLD.

"World?" You wonder.

Yeah, a world. Not just a story. Something where there's a main plot line, but that's not the focus. Le's just say the majority of Chain Mail is "sidequests", or whatever else you'd want to call it. Minor problems. Conflicts. And eventually pushing towards the end.

*remember, just comment on facebook. *

We can figure this out later.

Now, I'ma gonna address EVERY FRICKIN' ONE OF YOU.

Starting with me.

I think I'm too much in charge of the story. I don't like how people look to me to see if a plot change is okay. Just know that this isn't an epic.

And, 'kay, I'm sorry for LAUGHING at you guys.

Next, Tyler.

Dude. You write like an epic writer. THA'S NOT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

Try writing as if things are happening day to day. Try to drag things out, not rush things forward. And, for pete's sake, just WRITE SHORTER ENTRIES. Like diary length. It's another world, you're character is in it, so just think of it as a seperate reality. not just a story that you want to get through (especially intros).

And try not to dig deep into mythology. Create your own. LIGHTLY.

Next, Cassandra.

You is so lazy. Get a character, or nothing!!! AND NO DROPPING OUT!!! That was RUDE. Rude kid.

Next, Jefferson.

Calm your face. Your ideas are great, but not everyone will like them. Present them, and if people don't like it, too bad. But I think your ideas are actualy fine.

No f-bombs.

Next, Laura.

YOU need to calm down, too. No one is raging at you. Jefferson is a hater--he just happened to direct all his hate at you at once and it turned explosive. IT'S OKAY. and try to understand other people's ideas, because they are patiently trying.

Next, Hater and her friend.

No comment. You're fine. No worries.

I could do Miguel, but I think he just needs to not cuss out people when he's mad. That's it.

So, when everyone calms down, please comment on facebook. I'm posting this link to our wall.

And input something. Story idea, something.

Remember, the main conflict has to be weaker than the one we had before.

Live long and prosper.
