So if you haven't heard by now, we're working on a new collaborative novel!

This one is slightly more structured than most previous efforts, so the planning process might seem more in-depth than some anons may be used to. One of the positive side effects of this though, is that everyone can have equal opportunity in shaping the greater creative vision. And, if you don't particularly like planning, and want to jump into writing right away, there is a place for that too, even during these early stages.

Basically, if you want to jump into the planning side of the creative process (whether it's coming up with character names, chapter arcs, potential titles, themes, styles, cover art, etc) then jump in this doc:

And if you just wanna put something down on the page, whether its something you wrote three years ago and think it might fit somehow, or something you wanna write specifically for the project, then jump in this doc:

If you are having trouble understanding how this all works, which is very understandable, do not worry. In the posts below will be a quick, but detailed, rundown of the basic premise for the project. I would recommend ALL anons read through this rundown before contributing to either doc, to ensure that we are all on the same page.

Worth Noting:
- The current title (Pantheon) is just a working title. Title and cover art discussion is currently taking place in the first linked document
- Eventually, once the initial details are fleshed out, there will be individual google docs for each core chapter (see premise rundown below for info on how chapters are going to work)
- Periodically, you may find that public editing is restricted. This will usually be because a pesky anon has been meddling with or mass deleting the document. During these times you can still edit and add comments, your edits will simply remain pending until approval. I will do my best to approve all edits as soon as possible during these times.
- Always feel free to post your contributions, criticisms, discussions and whatever else in the thread as well, if you don't feel like going straight to the documents
- And finally, if you have any questions or confusions about the project, do not hesitate to ask!
