Yes. First person for both of us. That way it could include longer posts with more in-depth conversations rather than looking... fragmented.
Although there are a couple different ways to write in first person. First person past or first person present... |
I suppose so. I haven't written much first person. Have a bit of a love hate relationship with it. Don't like present tense though. I guess we Dan try this though.
|
Ah, I feel about the same with first person. Kind of a love-hate relationship, but why not try with this whole thing? Present is a bit hard to keep with, though, since I find myself going from present to past and not correcting myself... Should we give it a try on our first posts to see how well it flows?
|
Past tense is still the main route of published fiction no matter how you look at it. On our first posts?
|
Really? I guess is no wonder so few people heard of that one book...
Yes, editing our first posts to see where it goes, I mean. |
Eh?
Why mess with what's already been written?? |
There's a book called East that's written in present-tense first person. And there are quite a few characters....
Well, it'd be odd to have style randomly change, wouldn't it....? |
I know people write like that sometimes. Not popular though. More popular with shorts
Yes. Could always go back and deal with when done with the story though. Deal with forward motions while we have it. |
Hm, true. And that book was huuuuuuuuge... I like to write like that when I do drabbles~
Aw, but that means I have to start with the whole first-person-controlling-your-character thing... Is nervous! *begins shaking* Aaaaaa..... |
I usually do my drabbles same as always.
Well I didn't want to start... |
Aww, but you must branch out... I do all kinds of different things~ As you can kind of see if you sit down and read all my current drabbles one after the other...
Aawwwwh... Well... Hmmm, fine, fine.... But if I screw up is not my fault I swear! *cries* |
Aw yeah you're very experimental. I've done a lot of different things in school. I just go back to what I like with a few changes when I feel something is necessary for an effect.
Don't worry, if you screw up, I'm sure I'll will too. XD |
I like to experiment~ It's so overly obvious~!
Weeeeeell, okay then... I hope I catch Salis right... Aaaaand time to panic. |
Ahaha. Experimenting is...okay.
Its Silas! Don't spell it wrong! Lol panic away. |
Okay? Pffh, it opens you up to aaaaaaall kinds of stuff.
I typed fast! I know it's spelled Silas! *panics* Aaaa... Okayokay I'm fine I'm going to write right now not that I haven't been writing already but you know me always freaking out... |
But it's scary!
Ahaha. I know you know how to spell it but I couldn't not point it out. I'll be waiting then. |
Is not scary! Is fun~
But I dislike being corrected... Aah, and while I'm trying to figure out how to write this, you can begin editing your first post, and while you're writing your post I can edit mine~ Saves time methinks. |
Depends on your perspective.
Then be correct? I don't know how to edit it though~! |
My perspective must be soooooo different right this minute...
*flails* My fingers are too fast for my brain! Keep one tab up with your post, and begin editing in another tab. That way you can pretty much keep it the same but make it longer, in first-person, and give more details about what Silas knows or wishes or feels... And I do the same, and we keep it up until we've edited all the post. |
Isn't it normally that way?
I thought it went the other way. Ah....but I'll screw it up!!! |
.... maybe...
Nyooo... sometimes I accidentally write gibberish because I have no idea where my brain is... And how will you do that, hmmmm? |
Well it's okay.
You're not supposed to misplace your brain. B-because I don't know how to edit it! |
Is? Aww~
I lost my brain down the gutter... Does that count as misplacing it? ... Just hit the edit button...! *flails* And go on from scratch! That's how I do all the time... |
naturally.
Perhaps. You should try to recover it someday. I hear brains are useful. arrr! Fine. *Huff* Don't blame me if it turns out strange. |
Bu I think it's happy down there... I can't reach it...
Well then, don't blame me if my next post is strange either! That way neither of us can blame one another for anything until we get into the whole idea of this new and strange manner of writing. *nods* |
