Collab chat!^_^ (time and place)

Caj_trixie · Post by **Caj_trixie** » Fri Jan 03, 2003 1:45 pm

Okay, we have a suggestion from Kave Straye to meet saturday, Jan.4 at 10 pm central time (7 pm pacific, 8 pm mountian, etc.)

We'd meet <a href="http://adrastea.jtan.com/~ircd_/javachat/chat.html ">here </a> (http://adrastea.jtan.com/~ircd_/javachat/chat.html ), and remember, type in your name, hit enter, then type in #arcana. ^_^

This is fine by me...as long as I can get off around 11 pacific.^_^ I want to watch Inu Yasha. There are two good ones on that night.^_~ lol

so yeah, but can I ask one thing? things tend to get out of hand when I'm heading up something...is there anything I can do to take the place of a "gavel"? heh, I have a giant metal egg-beater thing for my art club at school, so is there a loud sound or pager or something I could use? 0.o;

Oops! Sorry! I completely forgot. I was working on a puzzle with my mom, and totally lost track of time. (Lame excuse right, even if it is the truth) Anyway I so totally had going back to school on my brain. I can't believe Christmas break is over. I didn't want it to end! sorry again guys, I'll remember the next meeting, even if it means I have to put a stickynote on my forehead.

lol that's okay.^_^

well, here's an update of what's been decided and what hasn't, from both there and from responses in pms:

Comic vs. detailed piccie:

Okay, we're still tied on this by oppinions in. we REALLY need to decide this.^_^; here's some pros/cons if that helps:

Comic:
pros: more fully impacts, all around picture and emotions, more detailed (possibly)
cons: a LOT more work and time, as a series every page will be drawn by soemone different (a possible con), trash fanfic after written and use only text portions
Deailed Illustration:
pros: more flowing with different art styles, would be easier to upload, easier to do, keep written fanfic
cons:Not as much of an impact on the reader, not as many pictures

Okay, so that's that. The next thing was decided. No original characters. Sorry for those of you who wanted them, but votes are in, you know?

Cheracters: Well, most peopel seem to want Holden and Dom in there, a few more want Vincent, some good vincent, some Caine, and throw in a little Sloane for good measure.^_~ *laughs* I'm perfectly fine with all of those. I think that'd be great.^_^ anyone else?

Plot: Well, we DEFINITELY need to work on this one.^_^; not very many people have added something for this one, but so far we have:

Dom and Holden everntually get together
Vincent good (either temporarily or longer)

and that's it.^_^; lol we also have a senario we could use if we wanted to go off of what is happening in the story as of now:

Event1: Dom, unseen, follwed Holden and Kisoka to Vincent's room
Event2: Good Vincent (long enough for sunrise)=Holden happy, but after sunrise pushed away=heartbroken...again.^_^;
Event3: Dom=knight in shining armor...so to speak, takes Holden Home
Event4: Caine and Sloane at Caine's dorm room, Caine sees Dom helping Holden and does something stupid/funny/possibly is mad, and Sloane does something all teary eyed and cute or funny
Event5: whole Vampire Sloane drama ensues

Yeah, so that's what we have at this point.^_^ Now's where we wrap up the few questions that we have and start getting to some plot points! yay!

We can always change something remember, so feel free to comment.^_^

I adore the "Dom in shining armor" idea... *snicker* I can really work with that as a drawing. ^^
I like all the plot ideas except the last one with Sloane.... (#5) That one....I dunno..... too dramatic...
Other Comment: Kisoka in the story? Yay!!!!

Akuma Sephitaro · Post by **Akuma Sephitaro** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 8:24 am

hm... Seems good

But if it's to be a happy sorta story, cut the Sloane being a Vampire part...

*nods head in agreement with Akuma*

Kave Straye · Post by **Kave Straye** » Tue Jan 07, 2003 4:01 pm

is this going to be a happy story?

ZOMBIE USER 12483 · Post by **ZOMBIE USER 12483** » Wed Jan 08, 2003 10:26 am

Ok, sry I missed the meeting, didn't get a chance to check when it was, but I wouldn't've been able to make it at the time anyway, but thats fine, I work with whatever ^_^

so here's how I feel as follows: one, I like the idea of comic better, but then again, I'm a writer, not one having to put endless hours of work into a page of pictures, just about 20 mins on 10 pages of text ^^;;

two, I for one REALLY want Sloane in there, whether as violent vampire, or the sweet, kind, loving guy he was before the change, I don't care, I just want him in there ^_^ (only one I really want, heh, anyone else can come and go as they please)

three, as for plot, we're writing this from the night that Vincent and Holden spend talking, am I correct? I just wanted to make sure I'm in the same place time wise for this. The ideas sound good to me, and it looks like alot of focus on Dom/Holden, sounds good, and if we can get an earlier meeting to discuss on some night, let me know (ps. someone IM me with the knowledge plz, I get that faster then I can check this ^^;; )

Ok, think thats all I had to say, oh, and I follow the last question asked, is this a happy or sad story? we going romance, tragedy, something else entirely? other then that I'm done ^_^

Caj_trixie · Post by **Caj_trixie** » Wed Jan 08, 2003 9:37 pm

lol mmm....Inu Yasha makes Cheryl a happy panda.^-^ *all hyped up on 36+ episodes of Inu Yasha romantic goodness*

anyway, yeah, we do have to have another meeting and for me it can be almost any time.^_^ So it's really up to you guys.

As for whether it's supposed to be happy, *shrugs* who knows!^_^ lol we'll figure it out as we write it.

And yeah, it does seem to focus on Dom and Holden, but if anyone doesn't like that, there is always going to be back and forth scenes in the fic, or at least scenes with more than just them, so it can be switched around a bit.^_^

and yeah, I must admit, the comic idea is SERIOUSLY growing on me.^_^ so, unless anyone has any complaints about this, be'll go with comic format.^_^

let the plot forming begin!^_^ yaaaayyy!!!!!

Akuma Sephitaro · Post by **Akuma Sephitaro** » Thu Jan 09, 2003 4:49 am

Has anyone come up with anything yet? (I should probably think about it too...)

ZOMBIE USER 12716 · Post by **ZOMBIE USER 12716** » Thu Jan 09, 2003 3:10 pm

Well, why not at the college campus? *shrug* I haven't got very good ideas yet, I need someone else to do formulation like setting.....^^;;;

Caj_trixie · Post by **Caj_trixie** » Thu Jan 09, 2003 9:10 pm

lol okay, setting needed?^_^ well, I was thinking that mostly it would revolve around the campus, but they could go off for a bit if they so desired.^_^ lol or should I say, if you desired them to.^_~ lol

so yeah, campus works for me.^_^

ZOMBIE USER 12716 · Post by **ZOMBIE USER 12716** » Fri Jan 10, 2003 2:14 pm

Yay!!!!
Now I got an idea. Carnival!!! In town probably. ^^ Lots a stuff can happen there. Best part, you get all the characters together from the beginning. ^^ Well..... at least I think it's a good idea.

Notyetknown · Post by **Notyetknown** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 6:14 am

ZOMBIE USER 12716 · Post by **ZOMBIE USER 12716** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 9:55 am

Fan Manga idea. Still in progress. Right now coming up with how the story begins. Carnival in town was mine. Dom and Holden coupling. That's about it thus far.

Caj_trixie · Post by **Caj_trixie** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 11:07 am

oh OH! I love carnivals.^_^ awesome idea! I would ask if they could do something stupid/funny, but chances are that's what's going to happen anyway.^_~ lol

you know, somewhere in here we have to have a drunk holden, I mean, it's a must.^_~* lol

hmm...maybe I should start a new plot topic.^_^ this one seems to be dieing.^_~ lol

ZOMBIE USER 12232 · Post by **ZOMBIE USER 12232** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 11:27 am

*consentrating* idea.... forming..... in head..... see... roller coaster..... holden....... *tries to get a more solid idea*

ZOMBIE USER 12747 · Post by **ZOMBIE USER 12747** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 11:31 am

Crescentlady: Doing sleepover, Alleycat's house, don't be confused.
Write a dialouge for a roller coaster scene and I'll draw the first page. Sounds like a plan. I've got a ton of ideas forming currently, caj... good plan. make a plot forum. we'll go from there.
