It's supposed to go from one story to the next. Like, for instance:
"...and they never saw him again," Agent Y concluded. She waited until the screams of horror and fear had died down and turned to the next person. "Your turn."
(End Y's story, start Z's story)
Z nodded and began. "In a dark land, far away..."
Something like that.
After much deliberation, the first Halloween Co-Write has been announced.
What it is:
After the lights go out at a PPC Halloween Party, there's nothing more fitting than telling ghost stories- so that's exactly what the agents do.
How it works:
If you want to participate, then comment on this post and state the agent you'll use. Because of the unknown number of people participating, each person can only use one agent, otherwise we'd end up with a story the size of a building. The stories should not be sexual, should not contain improper language and should not contain intense descriptions of gore. If a story does, please include warnings so people can skip it if that's not to their taste.
Stories should also be understandable without knowing the fandom, if it's set in a specific place- readers shouldn't have to look everything up every five minutes. I will write the introduction and ending, and my agent (I'll be using Grace) will tell the first story. After that, the order will be set by the order people post stories in. People without Permission can play, too. Each story should be hosted on your own site.
Try to have the story done by October 31/November 1. On one of those days, I will post the link to the introduction here, and everyone else should post links to their stories. I'll also make a Wiki page for it, too.
Have fun!
I've got an idea for a story, now I just need to think up an agent to tell it.
I don't know how scary it'll be, but I'll try anyway. I'll use Agent Hikari, then.
I'll be using Nyx Nightingale, DMS (and her family), and hopefully scaring some of the other Agents...
hS
So, you'll post the introduction. Well, okay, but what happens inbetween the scary stories?
It's supposed to go from one story to the next. Like, for instance:
"...and they never saw him again," Agent Y concluded. She waited until the screams of horror and fear had died down and turned to the next person. "Your turn."
(End Y's story, start Z's story)
Z nodded and began. "In a dark land, far away..."
Something like that.
Do these stories have to be made up by us, or can they be re-tellings of known stories?
Either one is good, but preferably made up so we don't end up with a dozen variations of similar stories.
Sounds really fun!
I'll probably be using Nimbus, the agent I'm actually writing the first mission for RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND, whupwhup...
I don't have any agents okayed yet, but I have ideas for a pair (although hopefully they'll be approved before Halloween!). Can I do this anyway?
The agent I have in mind for this is named Zanna, by the way.
Absolutely. Have fun!
I'm in! I'm sure Agent Evie would love to creep everyone out!
This sounds like fun! I'll throw Chalk into it.
I am so in. Agent Adder would love to try her hand at telling a ghost story.
Agent Saline it is, for me.
Agent Logan will attempt to scare all present with some form of ghostly tale
This sounds like fun, but I have a question. Are the agents going to interact with each other in between stories?
I'd love to join this fun, so I'll see if I get a proper "scary" story done - well, given my agents, it probably will be more unintentionally hilarious (intentionally for me >:D).
I'm still thinking about whether Ardo will do a solo run here or if he'll somehow manage to pull poor Noir into all of this, but I might figure something out >:3
I'll would love to participate and will be using *looks over agents* my Radioactive Moss Creature, since Mittens is too shy to tell a story for an audience.
Only one story can be told per writer. I guess an agent pair together could tell a story, but they can't tell one each.
The Wiki page is here. http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Halloween_Co-Write
A co-write with stuff? Hm... That sounds intriguing indeed.
I think I'll throw in agent Xanthus for this one. Now I need to come up with something that can approximate a turian horror story. Now, how do I go about doing that... *thinks*
