Forgot to add, the story isn't exactly on there, as it's being written as a script to accomodate both artwork, sound effects and music.
I will however upload it somewhere AFTER the collab's is released, along with all the relevant documents and stuff.

Could give other people a few pointers and whatnot.

Yes, that's correct. I'll have to get on their asses about getting their illustrations started.

Take "The Firebird". It was written for this project and it's still waiting for an illustrator. :'(
Link on ReNaeNae's book list blog because I'm too lazy to link it myself right here...

If you see a story that you 'kind of' like... contact the author. Maybe they'll be willing to make some edits or compromises to get it done! And don't forget that there are people willing to write specific stories/styles... you just have to ask!!

I am willing to write specific stories/styles.... just reminding everyone! :)

I'm kinda a whore...

well, i'm wondering if i could join as an artist.. i'd like to. but there are some problems, like i don't really have an art program, (well, i have corel painter, but it lags.) so i can only use flash to draw, so i always have to take a pic of the drawing, and it doesn't really has such good quality. and another problem is, i don't know what exactly you have to make, is it that you make it in flash, so that you make a book, and that you have to press a button or turn the page to get to the next page? or that you post every page apart. because i don't really see it explained here.

I'm assuming the seperate teams compile everything in a .fla file or something.
That includes audio, text and images. We're at least going with a 'click 'next page' to continue' system and not seperate pages.
That's how I've interpreted anyway, anything else (design, style of writing, music, narration) is completely open, within NG standards that is.

I'm working very closely with the artist, musician and voicetalent to make something as grand as possible.

can i be an artist? i would have to hand draw and then scan it up though...
but im a pretty good artist...for my age that is...
and no im not eight XD

You're nine =P?

As far as I'm aware this is open for anyone, pick a story from the list that hasn't been taken, contact its author, work something out.

Damn you people, don't let me be the only one posting here D:!

- 17-1-2009: Work continues on the second draft, halfway-ish, should have it done within next week.
- 17-1-2009: Which turns out to be a very busy week, I've got a review to finish, a short script to write and a presentation about our schoolproject. Fortunately the schoolproject's finished otherwise I would've had it SUPER busy, instead of just busy xD
- 17-1-2009: Check my latest newspost if you're interested in doing voicework!!!

- 19-1-2009: Last stretch of school, all that remains now are two assessments. No homework though, so I can put more focus on this.
- 19-1-2009: I also have a cold and feel like shit.
- 19-1-2009: But I will persevere...

Yeah, the due date is March 1st. Corky52 and I still need to 'hook up' and get the lists organized. Sorry about that! Until then, if there's a story you're interested in, you could try contacting the author.

I'll get everything organized here pretty soon. Probably this weekend sometime. I'll just talk to you over AIM to make sure that we are doing everything according to plan and everything. I've been busy with college and everything, but this weekend I should have a little bit of free time.

sucho truly is the shit!

Not my favourite colors scene, but yeah overall it's really good!

I'm gonna try to join this collab. Hopefully there's any story I'm interested in :)

another question, does everybody make a seperate flash? or will ReNaeNae collect the pics in the end? all these questions and some little answers. :c

Am I missing questions? sorry.

You need to connect with an author. They may have an idea of what illustrations they want ...you can work it out together ...or they may just tell you to go for it.

If you draw it traditionally and scan it in, that's fine... what ever works for you.

If you aren't familiar with flash, you can send everything to me ...or contact one of the flash helpers from the list, and we will put it together.

The idea is to have everyone involved get a co-author spot, so if that means individual movies (books), then that's what we'll do. If some are short and can be combines, we can do that too. There really isn't a set rule on it.

Does that explain it? Let me know if I didn't answer something, or need to be more specific!!

Urk, bad news. Microphone's gone bust. :\ Can't voiceact now.

PLEASE TELL ME what program you drew that on it's so cool!

all flash

Lookin' good so far guys/gals ;)

yes, i think that answers my question, so if i understand it right i make it into a flash movie, and we submit it? that's okay, i'm familiar with flash. thanks for answering.

What about for the voice acting? Will that need to be recorded as a whole, or recorded in parts (a seperate recording for each page of the story)?

- 29-01-2009: Well, that went well...
- 29-01-2009: Can someone slap me, like... really hard. Like... Oh-my-fucking-god-my-cheek's-going-to-be -red-for-the-next-two-weeks hard.
- 29-01-2009: Aaaauuuuggghhh

Ok... from what I've been able to figure out is that ALL of my stories are still on the table. Anyone out there interested?

- 31-01-2009: Script is just about finished, one page left.
- 31-01-2009; BELIEVE IT, BABY!!!

Ok... One month until the deadline, I think, and I still don't have any artists interested in my stories. PLEASE let me know if you have any interest and I am willing to do what it takes lol. Also its gonna cut it close if you want an original story written just for you! So yeah... desperate pleas yadda yadda yadda etc.

Is this project now a victim of the infamous 'I quite because along the way I lost interest'-syndrome?
We're still going though, have some catching up to do, some check-ups to give, though as I haven't heard anything from a few people I was supposed to work with.

Sound and a few voices... Though I did get a PM from someone who was interested in doing voicework...

I would also like to know if there is still interest in this project? Maybe some updates from people?

I still have 2 stories available...

Dude, if you want them stories to be done, instead of letting the mountain climb you, climb the mountain ;)!

Reneaneeaaeeaaea... whatever it's spelled... are you still with us, oh great female collab organizer person?
We need the morale boost, and since you're captain of the fleet...
