I do remember that changeover.

And I'd peripherally noticed it doing odd things here and there.
I just kind of expected it I think - didn't realize it was way cooler than something like a random number generator.

Don't worry, it'll take 42 posts for me just to appear to have overtaken you (when the 7 and 8 in the first two cycles align).
And it'll be years at this rate until I make up the +/-1300 post difference that's still there in reality. :lol:

It'd be nice if there was a way to get everyone to be more active though...

Yes, yes it would. It feels like it's just us four (five once Shadow gets back from camp).

I could try to harass Elly and Astrid on dA more about not posting - Astrid acted all remorseful but still hasn't showed up anyway... ;)

We should have something to DO, here.
With Key on indefinite hiatus, there's not even that anymore. So even the main reason for the boards existence is gone. The only reason to come here now is the other people here (which goes a long way to explain why the last member to join was over a year and a half ago, even though we didn't get that many in the first place). But without something to keep us going, some topic, some project, something to do, we just sit around being quiet and occasionally adding a word to "word association".
We should do something. Something we can do together; and maybe attract new visitors.

:rolleyes: Any ideas? :P

I do think it would be awesome. But my talents only lie in needlessly ballooning writing and semi-amateur photography (so I'm told).

I'm back from camp! It was awesome! (despite the bug bites, poison ivy and sunburn). Sadly though, I have no ideas. I will try to be more active though.

What about a collaborative story, but a little less free-form than just adding post-to-post. Like come up with a setting 'n couple of characters, sketch out a rough outline and then start the back and forth writing it?

Perhaps use the snowflake method?
Bit difficult to do well on a forum though.

With the snowflake method you start with an outline and then keep adding detail to the story, rather than starting at the beginning and just writing in full detail without knowing where you're going.
You start with one sentence to describe the whole story. Then you split that up into several sentences which add a bit more detail, etc.
