A Story Telling Companion |
Lead | ||
|
I just wanted to say that our brief storytelling start seems really cool. It's often tempting to comment on the story, but that would ruin the flow of the story. So, we can have this, where we can comment on others posts if we like. Or we can delete this. I'm new here, I don't want people to think I'm forcing myself everywhere. Get it? FORCE-ing myself? hehe. I'm a regular Joker the Hutt. Anyway, sometimes in story telling, people have different styles and/or make a confusing typo. It's usually best to just go with it. But it's tempting to want to redo stuff. Like my line about a jawa being stuck in a Dagobahian swamp. It prob would've read better if I'd said sandcrawler instead of jawa. But I can always save that line for a future story telling escapade. And rehashing old lines would keep in line with the Star Wars theme

I'd be thrilled if someone else started a second story. We don't need to take over the boards with them. Join me. It is your destiny. And together we will write the verse.

Seems like a good idea to me. There's only one of us on these boards in jeopardy of making a pest of himself...

And actually, it doesn't matter if we ever eventually do edit any storyline because that would be keeping in tradition with Lucas's constant rewriting of history

I think this story is coming along nicely. I'm having lots of fun so far! I've always loved writing short stories. I hope we can continue doing this

Funny, I imagined Anhinga early on as a bit player on the bridge of a large ship, and here she's apparently the sole occupant of a small craft with a weapons locker holding more weapons than one person can wield at one time...

Audrey, you were reading my mind. We need at least another crew member on board.

Quote: A cute reference by Jessie. I wonder if the name should be spelled differently, though? Like "I-4" or "Eye For" or something? Usually the numbers are listed as numerals in the shorthand and phonetically spelled out in the long. I'm probably overthinking this. Don't mind me. |

Well, I read of a character in the Medstar books named I-Five. I was kinda going along those lines with the name.
Feel free to make changes to the character if you'd like...I won't mind. I was just trying to add another crewmate. I was going to pick a human male name Choi, but I'm not sure what role he would play on the ship! |

Ok....Anhinga is going to wait to be boarded by the Imperials once her ship is brought up by the tractor beam (unless someone wants to change it....feel free!!

Hm, Mike; I think I've seen R2-D2 spelled Artoo-Detoo as often as not. Or is it usually written the first way, but spelled when a character speaks it?
Okay, couldn't resist. Whose is the voice? Was this part of the plan once things upstairs got hinky? Crew? Stowaway? Who's next? Who's on first? |

aaaaaah.......white chocolate mocha with caramel sauce blended with two sweet & lows, whipped cream then cinnamon sprinkled on top. yum!
If anyone can find a starbucks in FL that can make this without explicit preprinted instructions and a stupid look on their face......YOU MUST TELL ME! Unless someone kills her now I will not let Anhinga die.......not yet anyways |

I'm actually stumped as to how to proceed with the story, so I'll let someone else post first.
As for Starbucks, I've never been to one in my whole life, but many of my coworkers seem to live and die by the one that's open in CityWalk. |

So, the secret compartment has a communications/video relay? The "voice" in the dark could be another crewmate that has done the same thing on another part of the ship (he/she/it is hiding, and Anhinga just didn't have time to get in touch because -remember- power is being lost throughout the ship?)
mmmm.......I agree......someone else go now If not, I'll make something up (haa!) |

Oops I added to the story without reading here first. My bad. Well my post is a little generic anyway.

I believe I saw Lucas himself spell R2D2 as Artwo Detwo in an early, early rendition of a Star Wars screenplay. This would've been in the mid to early 70s, when the story hadn't fully evolved. "Art-whoa Det-whoa", hehe. I went with the ships computer for the voice, before I read the thoughts here. I guess, if people wanted her ship more populated, that could be part of what the computer tells here. And I was thinking that a "ship's computer" is a bit more Startrekky than Star Warsy, but Star Wars ships are definitely fully capable of holding a conversation as much as any USS Enterprise. And so far things seem great. Any time you have more than one person telling a story, there's bound to be disagreements, even disappointments. Playing God is fun, playing God by committee can be frustrating. Or it can be fun too. If we ever get to a controversial point, we can always "split" the story at that point, and have two different storylines. We could go ahead and start a new story with that same first sentence, or another first sentence. If someone else starts a story, I'll add to it. But it's cool to have done so much to this one in a relatively short amount of time. These stories are usually less cohesive as this one, which is cool for us.

I'm just glad we got over our little hump there. When we have so many imaginative and creative minds working on something like this, it's just fun seeing how it evolves. I'm loving it right now
