This not really a contest but, what if HW members wrote a book together? We could split up in teams, 5 people in each one. We would have to organize everything or it could get confusing but, what does everyone think of this idea?

We may have tried that a while back, I'm not sure how it went though. Of course there's nothing stopping us from doing again. But what sort of novel were you thinking?

Something fantasy . As for the story I was thinking if other people liked the idea, we could figure it out together.

I'd be up for it. Maybe I'd actually start writing again instead of avoiding it.

Great!

We were actually working on a community story a while back (Triterrus), but there's been no significant progress for a long time for reasons stated here.
You're welcome to get a few people together to work on a story if you'd like, but you're probably not going to get too large of a group.

Hmm... originally I was thinking just a book but, a world with lots of stories is better! OK, I'll be prepared for disappointment . I think if we go about it in orderly fashion it could (just maybe ) work.

It's possible, just going to take a lot of work. If you do get some people together, good luck

Well, maybe I'll just start a petition to get Triterrus back up... it seemed like it was doing well.

I think it's easier to write a community story than a community world. Although I have little experience with a community world, since world-building is non-linear, it seems like it would take more effort to get everyone together. A community story, though, since it's usually linear, can very easily be done if you have people just posting half-chapter length sections to continue the story...

That's true... does seem like it would be easier. I just think it will turn into a world anyways (languages, races, geography etc.)

OK I am now trying to get Triterrus back up, you can view the poll/topic here.
