Chapter Text
I Wanna Write!
A pass-it-on experiment where the story will be added onto by different authors each chapter and the plot changes as we go!
Couple rules before we get started:
- If you want to call ‘dibs’ on writing the next chapter, be the first to write a comment with the words “I wanna write!” at the end of the chapter. Doing so will tell us that you want to join the experience. :)
- If you are the first to comment, we will notify you to make sure you know it’s your turn.
- Remember to make sure the “Reject Co-Creators” option is turned off in your settings, otherwise we won’t be able to add you to the fic.
- It should be noted that you do need an account in order to participate in this fic, but it’s super easy to set one up, so don’t let that stop you!
- Don’t want to write? That’s fine! You can still leave a comment!
- Don’t call dibs on your own chapter. Let other people have a chance to join in too! :)
- You will have plenty of chances to add more to the story as time goes on.
- If you do get dibs, you have a time limit of 2 weeks to add your chapter, so plan accordingly!
- If the deadline passes by, we will notify you and let the next person who commented “I wanna write” know that it’s their turn.
- It’s also okay to tell us ahead of time if something came up and you no longer wish to write or cannot at that time. We know life happens, so don’t feel bad about having to pass. :)
- When you post your chapter, make sure to include your pseudonym in the Author’s note so that people can find your other works! :) Think of this as free advertising too!
- If you want your name linked, but don’t know the html for it, just let one of us know! We’ll be happy to help!
- Remember to check your chapter for spelling and grammar mistakes.
- Or ask one of us to beta for you. :) We’d all like a sneak-peek at the next chapter.
With the technicalities out of the way, there are a few things to keep in mind, writing-wise. These will like be common sense for us, but it doesn’t hurt to put it down on record.
Original Characters (OCs) will likely not survive from chapter to chapter. If they do, they will likely go through a lot of personality changes, based on who is writing. As such, it might be a good idea to make them non-essential to the plot and don’t use a character that you feel strongly about.
Murder mysteries/ Heists will have to be completed in one chapter. The current author, who went through all the hard work of setting up the mystery and heist, should also be the one who gets to reap the comments about how amazing they are! (This is also because the next chapter’s author may not know the key to solving the mystery or the trick of pulling off the heist and might not pull the same conclusion as the previous author. Discussions can help, but also, spoilers!)
Pairings are as listed… which is really just KaiShin (ShinKai?). Any other pairing is fine, but once it is established (and in the tags) it’s there to stay. So choose wisely!
Trigger warnings are required for any explicit scenes. Smut is fine, so long as you warn the audience at the beginning of the chapter that those scenes are coming and who they are with. Same with Torture or Character Death or any other Triggering events that can occur. Be careful what you do to characters because other authors will have to deal with those consequences too. Know that if there is a Character Death, any author after you also reserves the right to un-Death them by any means they wish to use. Since there is magic/fantasy in this story, literally anything is possible.
Have fun! And remember that this is a writing experiment. We have no idea how this story will turn out or where this journey will take us. So encourage each other, be friendly, and have fun writing!
Okay, that’s enough of the guidelines, I think! I’m so excited! Everybody ready? Because, I WANNA WRITE!
