If you wanted to write two pairs, you could. If you wanted to write some missions with another person, some solo, you could :) I started off by writing two solo missions, gained a writing partner for my next three, lost the writing partner, wrote another couple of solo missions (one of which I wrote solo but borrowed (with permission) another Boarder's agent as a partner for my primary agent), gained a new writing partner ... and between us now Pads and I write nine agents, one of whom was in fact invented by July, and do/have done/are doing a fair number of co-cowrites with other Boarders such as July, Sedri, Lee, Laburnum ...
Basically the whole name of the game is to a) have fun and b) mock badfic. If you end up creating a veritable army of characters to do so and rope in as many willing participants as you feel the need to to help you cowrite, that's okay, as long as it's fun and it's funny :)

Hi, I'm the author of the fic. Chliever told me he had forwarded my story here as a nomination, and I am very honored to read his comments. He and another member on the board, GoldLegacyRanger have given me ideas, and I have introduced fans of the story in the latest installment of A Future In Recovery. I hope everyone enjoys the read and gets some fun out of it. Once again, thank you all.

I liked Agent Iza, but she and Agent Sedri were not interesting to write together, so Iza was reassigned.

As long as Dad doesn't suddenly refuse to take me up. Either time is alright for me, I think, though I'm a mere semi-lurker and am therefore inferior to people who post here on a regular basis. :P
Er, no offence meant. Sorry.

Narcolepsy and Fritz represent two halves of my own self, I think. Fritz is the gets-things-done worrywart, and Narc is the creative hey-this-is-a-cool-idea brainstormer. The latter half is usually the stronger, I think.
Also, scratch that earlier statement; I'm going to have to change my first target, though I'm not sure exactly to what at this point. That collection of grammatical monstrosities is just way, way too big for a first time out.

Mini question by

I'm currently working at a story that has some of the most abominable grammar problems I've ever seen, including terrible capitalization. And I mean terrible. So I wondered; is a mini created if the writer forgets to capitalize a character's name?
I.E., gordon freeman instead of Gordon Freeman.

Well, I'd love to come, but unfortunately, I live in America, and this glaurunging recession makes it bloody difficult to travel out of the country. Not to mention the fact that my mother doesn't actually know I'm a member of the PPC, nor is she aware of the PPC's existence, or exactly what it is. I guess I'm outta luck, then..

I'm sort of dying of overworked-ness right now. The reason cowrites work with Trojie is because we're in the same time zone and can work together in real-time, and I think that'd be a lot harder for you. And my brain appears to be made of cardboard at the moment...
Could try, I suppose. It'd take a lot longer if we do it on LJ or via email, but it's possible. You might become very frustrated with me, though.

A few questions by

I love RPG's, and I happen to have only one exam left before university releases me from its clutches. Before I commit myself, I have a few questions. The answers are unlikely to significantly influence my decision, though.
1. It's not related to the PPC or any canon work, is it?
2. Is it time-consuming? Some very crowded and fast-paced RPG's require each player to spend about an hour per day just trying to catch up with the story before they write anything.
3. What kind of RPG is it? Is it just RP-writing, or are stats, dice rolls and a GM involved?
4. We have pretty boys! =D ...Here, the obvious question from a heterosexual male is: Do you have pretty girls too?

Welcome, newcomer! Please, have a complimentary walnut! Don't worry, they aren't diseased, nor have they been tampered with in any way.
Ahh, Redwall and Tamora Pierce, I think we'll get along just fine (Veil Sixclaw fan here).
Anyway, I just got back from a 30-mile backpack trip that turned into a 35-mile backpack trip due to deceiving trail signs and an annoying detour, and I thought I'd say hello to the new kid. I gift you a sock full of rocks and a weighted companion cube (don't worry, it will never threaten to stab you!). I'm sure you'll find use for them. My agents would also love to greet you. Say hello to the new recruit, you two!
Adder: Hi, new best friend!
Deuce: Harumph.

Actually, having gleaned what I can from the tiny, tiny preview screen, I still think FATAL is worse. I mean, Black Tokyo is all kinds of wrong, and has some pretty screwy mods ("Phallic spear" with 350 ft reach? WTF?), but FATAL was just badly conceived to begin with. At least Black Tokyo doesn't seem to take itself seriously. The guys at FATAL do.

Turns out there's an important family party on the Saturday evening, which I cannot miss on pain of being dismembered by outraged grandmother. This means I'll only be available for either the Saturday morning (so I can catch a train back in time) or Sunday after late-ish morning depending on train timetables. Which time would be more convenient for everyone else who's going?
(BTW, if we make the Natural History Museum, someone has to bring along a cardboard cutout chainsaw and put it on the statue of Darwin for a photo op. See here for why.)
