And there are still plenty of other positions besides prayer for those even slightly interested.

I'm kind of young, and new here, but I'd be willing to help if you need me.

Age and seniority don't really matter. We'd be glad to have you on board. Take a look at my main post above to see what team you'd be interested in and how you'd like to help. I'm sure you'll find the perfect place to help.

You absolutely can, Elly. Just pick one of the four departments if you would like to help:

Earth/Dwarf World - Airianna Valenshia
Elf World - Seer
Giant World - Eli McGowan
Characters/Plot/Writing - Lady Esmeralda

It is a big undertaking, but all books are. We're all in it together - just remember that - and the finish product will be glorious! Not only will it be a wonderful read and a good witness, but it will also look great in one's writerly portfolio.

Wonderful! I would be blessed to have you on the team, Elly!

Okay, if Seer's post didn't make me laugh so much I probably would be too intimated to write this. :rofl:

Anyways, what other teams need more members? (other than the prayer team since I don't really think I'd fit in well there) 'Cause I can help with two teams. (as oppose to the one I'm helping with right now)

Bethany Faith

I was afraid that I'd mostly just make people roll their eyes

To be honest, I don't really think I could help much. I'm not good at world-building. Probably the only thing I could really do anything with is the prayer team...so I guess I'll go ahead and sign up for that.

Bethany Faith

Philli, we are the team Bethy is helping

*wonders if she forgot to mention that... somewhere*

She's in research at the moment.

I'm working on seeing if Eruheran can be the prayer team admin, and once that's settled we'll start organizing a system of who prays when/for what/etc. And Bethany, I'm glad I made you laugh, I was afraid that I'd mostly just make people roll their eyes

Is this project still going? I would love to help with the character building/writing team, but could do pretty much anything.

Ok gang here's the deal: As some of you know, Holy Worlds has been trying to put together a Community Story for about a year now, with a lot of starts and stops along the way. Well, we're coming off the latest stop with a vision of developing the story, writing it, and e-publishing it by December. To do that we're picking up where we left off before, the Development Stage. The story premise and Plot synopsis have already been selected and we're building teams to work on background development. For those hearing this for the first time who know nothing about the HWCS, I suggest reading the most current synopsis to get up to speed. It's copied in a few different places, but the quickest to get to is in the Story One subforum of Tales of the Realm in The Village. But to summarize the larger premise of the story has to do with the idea that our world is one of three different worlds connected through portals. Ours is the Dwarf world, then there's the Elf world, and the Giant World. Each world will have its own team doing the background development, some of which has already been started. There's also a team working on the Characters/Plot/Writing aspects of things who'll help get things pulled together so that we're ready to start WRITING the story in June or so... So here's how you can help... First off, each team is headed by an admin who oversees all the development work in each area. This month our goal is to assemble teams to start working on that development. The Project Head (Neil of Erk) wants each team armed with a concept artist and a writer. I've given a pretty thorough description of the concept artist's job here, but to summarize his/her task is to visually portray the key ideas of each world so that when it comes time to write the story, the authors have a better reference for descriptions. The Writer's task is mainly to polish all the random development discussions into a finalized form that the other teams and authors can understand and reference quickly for needed information. This will entail following the discussions of your team to keep track of how the idea is developed and then writing up all the decisions that were agreed upon during the discussion in an organized manner that can be used by others. But besides these two very important roles, there is another group of workers that every team needs in order to accomplish their task: DEVELOPERS! Concept artists and Writers can't render the finished ideas without there being a core of dedicated peoples developing and finishing the ideas for them to present. Each Admin has the final decision over how many developers they feel need and what areas to assign them to. But I think it's a safe guess to say that each team needs at least three members willing to put forth the time and effort to develop their idea. The Elf and Giant worlds will mostly need developers who are skilled at and enjoy worldbuilding and creating complex new worlds. The Dwarf/Earth team will need (as far as I can tell) creative researchers who are willing to dig up real-life facts and examples and then creatively build off of them. The writing/characters/plot team will (unless I've missed my guess) need people who can work with crafting deep characters, and piece the elements of the story together so that it's ready for the next phase where a group of members will sit down and write it! Like I said before, the main goal for this month is to gather the teams together so that we can hit the ground running next month. After February, we have until the end of June to get all the development squared away. July will be spent tying up any loose ends and bringing it all together so that we can move onto to the Next Phase. If you think this is something you'd like to help with, and if you have the time to commit to it, then contact the admin over the team you're most interested in working on and they'll tell you how you can help. The admins are: Earth/Dwarf World - Airianna Valenshia Elf World - Seer Giant World - Eli McGowan Characters/Plot/Writing - Lady Esmeralda So what do ya say? Who wants to be a part of helping craft and e-publish the very first Holy Worlds Community Story?

Post subject:	Re: Holy Worlds wants YOU!
There's another equally important team of this project that needs members as well as an admin: The Prayer Team. This team will be tasked with covering the whole community story project in prayer from formation of the team till completion of the project. The admin of the team will organize who prays when and for what. They will also be responsible for keeping in touch with the other team admins as well as the Project Head so that the prayer team knows what needs to pray for. As this team has just been thought of, there is no admin over it yet. So we need someone to step in as admin as well as a bunch of prayer-warriorlings who'll get on their knees and fight for the project in prayer. Any takers?

Well, I'd be more than happy to join the prayer team. My job hours are here there and everywhere, some weeks I might have no work and other weeks I might have dogs in at totally different hours each week so I'd have to fit it in through those hours. Either early mornings or later evenings are best for me I think. Although I don't do more than 2 dogs each day at the moment and it's going slowly, so I have should some time once my exams etc are past.

Well put, Seer! I've been needing a "clearing up" and this is exactly what I've been needing! Thankyou! My life can be pretty packed at times, but I can find some time to pray for the project! Maybe you could start a chain message kind of thing every time the admins have a list of things to pray for.

Well...it looks like I'm the unofficial Prayer Team admin for the moment So...Elanor and BushMaid, once I have a few more people together (I'd like seven) I'll sit down and come up with some prayer strategies for you gals. And there are still plenty of other positions besides prayer for those even slightly interested.

There are still a LOT of people needed to help with the HWCS development stage. I'm a little disillusioned that we haven't had oodles of people jumping at the chance to help with this. This seriously saddens me that out of all the brilliant minds and beautiful personalities we have around here, we only have a small handful willing to help with one of the most epic and amazing undertakings Holy Worlds has ever known. Some might think I'm being melodramatic and that I'm just making an emotional appeal and maybe I am a little, but I am truly feeling a little depressed by the lack of interest I've seen thus far.... And a huge thanks to all of you who have stepped forward to lend a hand. Be it by praying, or drawing, or writing, or developing, your efforts are deeply appreciated. I guess yall truly are the few, the proud, the mar...no wait, wrong group

I just wanted to drop in and encourage people to consider joining the prayer team, especially if you don't have enough time to commit to a job in one of the other groups. After all, praying for the story is a big way to help out as well. eruheran

If you're not good at world building, you should come on the characters/plot team. Basically, we are in charge of writing and outlining plot. We don't build the world as much as the other teams do.
