[Closed] Ditto Town Library

Shhhh! Welcome to the Library!

This is the place for the “Dinklings” – the participants in the Ditto Story (NarniaWeb’s own collaborative writing effort) – to get together to exchange ideas, offer encouragement and suggestions, and to discuss their ongoing storyline. (The actual Ditto Story segments themselves are posted in the Inn Between thread).

If you’d like to learn more about the Ditto Story, here are some helpful links: BERNINBUSH's Ditto Story Index, Ryadian's newer Ditto Story Index, and starkat's website, which includes full text of previous Ditto Stories.

If you’re interested in joining the Ditto Story, feel free to mention this in the Library, and the other writers will be able to questions or offer more information in-thread.

NarniaWeb has many aspiring writers, something which pleases this old Librarian very much! But there are a few guidelines to keep in mind:

First (and most importantly), do not post your works of fiction in this thread. (A rule important enough to make a librarian shout in a library!) The reason for this rule is that NarniaWeb has limited server space and was not designed to support a “fan fiction” website.

To actually post your work (except for Inn Between or role-play segments – which belong elsewhere in Ditto Town), please join the Narnia Writer's Guild and put it there, or host it on your own website.

To let others know about your work, or to talk about nearly any aspect of writing, please visit the Writers’ World thread in the Spare Oom – a great place for ideas, suggestions, and encouragement. There you can include links to your writing so others can read it. (Please indicate whether the writing is rated “G,” “PG,” or “PG-13,” and don’t link to anything rated “R” or worse. If you see a link that’s not appropriately rated, please let a mod know. We want to protect our younger members).

For everyday conversation, please visit the Town Square thread. To talk about role-playing please visit the Cavern Tavern. Remember, this is a library, and we must be respectful of the other patrons!

I see that Boo Kay Bucket has opened the next Inn Between thread, so once our Prologue is ready to go, feel free to post it. :)

My next posts will imply about a 3-month in-story time gap, making it early spring. If this doesn't match up with other writers' ideas, I'm sure we can work around it. We're pretty flexible timeline-wise, except for those times when it's a pivotal plot point.

But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.

Mine are time free, but fit in best with the three month gap. Sounds like I need to pm JP and see what we can get started. ;))

So the new story is up and ready to start!
I'll wait before I do anything with Varna - I haven't got anything planned for her, other than sending her to Charing Cross Road in London at some point, to go to the second-hand book shops :D

Yes, yes it does. I've re-posted the Nine intro thing, with a brief mention of Emily.

...and now, I have to figure out how to write my actual PLOT. :-s

AWESOME.

(oops, one word post. ;) )

Seriously, great start everyone. I'm eager to see what this story holds for our characters.

I have to figure out how to write my actual PLOT.

Ditto! Though my co-conspirator and I have quite a bit of material waiting in the wings. ;)

Nice job Flossie and Jill. :)

Aye, should I go ahead and dust some of my stuff off? or wait a bit longer for the suspense? Guess I could do a segment on where Lia, Liv and Ryder are ;)). Probably should do that first.

Just posted a short segment featuring Lianna and Tara. I may go back and tweak it a touch. I just had an idea. ;))

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that if anyone wants to interact with Jesse or Caelen, just PM me and we can work out a segment. :D

Oh bother! I forgot what I was going to do with that segment! How does a surprise birthday party for Ryder sound to kick this story off with? I'll try and get that segment written and up by Saturday unless someone else wants to take it and run with it. Feel free! :) Just don't tell Ryder. ;))

Hey all, is it ok if I do some stuff to the VF's old compound?

Oh hey Kat, happy simulpost!

...Surprise party for Ryder is a YES. And I think I know who'd organize it. ...let us talk.
