I like the collaborative post. You guys did a great job with it.

I'm going to post my next entry in the morning when I'm not quite so drunk (uh . . . Romulan ale . . . right?) and hopped up on adrenaline from watching the Sox cream the Indians. (I live in Boston, what can I say?)

It's a small world.

Hey Ducks, I'm just curious...wouldn't a drunk Vulcan be very suspicious? It would to Sevryll as Vulcans rarely drink alcohol...just on special occasions.

3 Ducks in a Man Costume

Heh. I was referring to myself, but even still, my character is not necessarily drunk. He just feels queasy when he wakes up. Probably some ill effect of Romulan ale.

Jen

Oh, I know.. ;)
I'm talking about your plans you hinted at in other posts...He does spend a lot of time drinking Romulan Ale. If she had time to pay attention, she may start to believe he's actually a Romulan posing as a Vulcan.

3 Ducks in a Man Costume

Perhaps . . .

I actually am kicking around the idea of having my cover blown at some point. After all, if my character is going to become an advisor to the ship in the future, his full identity must be revealed sooner or later.

This might be a dumb idea, but I was thinking that we could compile the seasons into some small paperback books using lulu (http://www.lulu.com/) it costs about 7 bucks USD to create a 100 page paperback book. I'd love to read this RPG from the start in book form.

Comments? Am I crazy? Has this already been suggested?

Your crazy billybob476.  Why would we do that?? 


lol jk jk.  Actually its a great idea.  I would LOVE this and I will willingly pay for this to happen.  But thats up to the Admins.  What do you think Jen and Kenny?

I think it's a great idea.. but there would need to be some major editing before it was published. And that takes time.

We really liked doing the audio versions of the RPG and so far only a small portion of that has been done because it takes a huge amount of time that most of us here don't have.

But I do like the idea.

That is a cool idea. Having been editing my own novels for the last year due to laziness, I can agree that editing really takes time and is very draining in some aspects.

3 Ducks in a Man Costume

Yeah. Editing is an enormously lengthy process, but it can still be done. The trouble I see with it is all the back story and character introductions. How do we incorporate the characters' side stories (in the Active Profiles section) into the main story? Granted, physically it wouldn't be hard to do. But doing it in a readable and logical way would be trickier.

I think it's a great idea, but I agree with Kenny, the editing is a daunting task. I edited the first time for the audio drama. The first thing that really hit me, and it should have been obvious, was that this RPG doesn't read exactly like a book. Some people repeat the first few lines of a post they were replying to, some people forget to write in the third person...some things need to be reworded...some don't fit in the story. It's a big project that would take a lot of time. But I'd be willing to do this if we had more than two people helping. We could revisit the first season and tie that up nicely—it sort of fell apart. It should be fixed so we can be proud of it.

The back stories don't need to be apart of the book ,but if we had to include them, maybe each bio/backstory could be their own chapters intended to introduced each character before the main story started.

I still want to do the audio dramas...we need to finish Season Two. I'm pretty sure the parts were all recorded—they just weren't put together . If you need help mixing that Rick, let me know.

I'm willing to do some of the grunt work with editing.

KingIsaacLinksr

I'll help out too, just tell me what needs to be done.

Yes, we want to continue that, time issues with Nathan working and going to college and my work duties increasing!  (holiday's are busy for pastor's) :)  But hopefully we can finish the season out on audio.  I will ask for help. I need to find out where we are.  ANd thanks again Jen for your editing, you did a great job.

Rick

I have been and always will be, your friend.

Thanks Rick...And again, just let me know and I'll pitch in where ever you need me as far as mixing and recording go.

Back to the book—here's something to think about: If we publish this through LULU, its going to cost somebody money. If we provide a nicely organized and laid out PDF for download, at the end of each season, we may attract potential readers and writers. I think it's more likely people will read it if it's free.

In addition to the free PDF, the audio drama is free...well for the most part. We have to pay for sound effects and spend our free time putting it together, but it's a labor of love. :)
