it might behoove us to have an ideas/scenes thread listed.  The idea was batted around earlier, but I think it would be smart to maybe develop this idea.  I know I do a lot of PM planning and I assume the others here do as well.  I don't want that to change and I don't think it should.  But at the same time, this is a more passive way of advertising your character as opposed to directly PMing the other writers in Doomtown which is more aggressive.<br/><br/>But if we had a section where each writer could put ideas that they want, it might help us spark off one another.  The ideas could be far and wide-ranging (e.g. like consortium's desire for Walter to go Maze Dragon hunting with a definite structure and idea or a writer like myself just throwing up a generic ad that they want to meet/interact with others in-game).  That way we could see what is going on as a group and be like 'ooohh...that looks interesting.  Perhaps I should PM the writer about said idea.'  Or 'Hey, said person is looking for someone to write with'.<br/><br/>It'd also be nice if someone was in charge of said thread to help keep it clutter-free, so there is a listing for each active character/writer in-game.  And also when the idea was taken/full, a way to note that (I know we do the Open/Closed for threads, but this also might help so all writers know who will be posting/writing in a scene).  Admittedly, this is a GM-task, but I think one of us could be willing to manage/maintain it that way it isn't burdensome on Ciosa or Sindra since they have a ton already.  (What I'm saying is I'd be willing to put my money where my mouth is, and volunteer time/energy to maintaining and updating this.)<br/><br/>For example, as a writer, I am interested in doing a skinny-dipping scene with at least 1-2 other writers in a short type of interaction.  So it'd be listed under Ginny's Idea thread - A skinny dipping scene, and others could PM me about it if they were interested in writing about it.  This one is pretty simple, just a scene where Ginny is naughtily swimming naked and someone finds her/joins her/whatever.  So a general concept.<br/><br/>Another thread I think could be fun is getting Ginny kidnapped by the Sioux and either needing a rescue or others also getting kidnapped with her.  (Admittedly, this one is a bit guilty pleasure because I imagine the Sioux are experts at rope bondage (my personal hope) and I enjoy imagining a nearly naked Ginny sweating in a tent, all tied up, bound, and helpless.  I wouldn't want it to end in anything NC, but at the same time, I think it would also be quite erotic if a Sioux brave came in at least once a day, put the captives over his knee, and spanked them 'til their bottoms were nice and red.)  This one is more specific, like I as a writer want bondage and spankings, along with a hot and sweaty environment and sexy looking, strong braves!   ;D  But at the same time, I don't want any rape/NC in this thread.  Just kidnapping, bondage and spankings.  So all those types of details could be listed and then planned in some way, shape, or form.<br/><br/>That being said, this is utterly my own idea and I haven't brought it up with anyone.  I'm just tossing it out there to the group to see if anyone thinks it would be a good idea.  I think it would just be useful as a medium to have writers interact with one another.  Somewhat like the One-Shots board.</strong><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Well, I was originally intending to use the Gamorra Gazette as a news source, and a way for people to track adventures and things which had happened in the game, and perhaps GM announcements as well.  I think we could certainly introduce a classified section as well, for players to ask for RP with other players, as well as a "GMs, please!" section as well.  I think if we kept the Gazette as an OOC thing, we can certainly use it to put up requests as well.<br/><br/>Speaking of which, I have a question for the players - there's a few ideas I had for things which were more adventure oriented, but I didn't want to pull away from the social sandbox of the game.  That leaves us with sort of a tricky space, time wise, because if someone were to depart on an adventure for three days, they'd be unable to post with anyone else for quite some time in game.  So if Ginny were to be captured and spanked until her cheeks were a fine rosy hue, she'd be unavailable for roleplay for a few days time.<br/><br/>My suggestion would be that we have a few 'adventure days' plotted out of the course of a month.  Perhaps weekends might be dedicated 'adventure time' wherein those looking to have a change of pace and something more directed could accomplished.  That way everyone is out of the loop for a roughly equal duration, and we could run threads concurrently for 'pre-adventure' and 'post adventure' time.  (I'm not sure if my explanation is making sense.)<br/><br/>Also, regarding the skinny dipping scene - the waters of the Maze might be a very bad place to do that.  First, they're about a hundred to two hundred feet below the tops of the mesas; there's a few places with painted ladies to get up and down to the water level.  But the waters themselves are full of sharks and maze dragons and other things.  I could have an inland 'waterin' hole' that's a short horseback ride from Gamorra.  It probably dries up completely during times of drought.
