If I were you I'd get a list of people interested and decide among the group what the overall storyline should be. Also try PM'ing people who have done succesful previous works here and see if they're interested. Its always nice to have some people who know what they're doing around. I sort of see this as the Clone Wars animated series that was run by cartoon network. There was a main story but also a few side battles and such to show how the war was going, something similar could be done here. I'd also advise that when you get your ten writers to set them up in an order to prevent ninjas and such. I'm very interested in the idea but at the same time unsure if it can succeed. This sounds like a fun idea and I think with the right people you can pull it off.

I used to do these kinds of stories back in reading class while I was in 8th grade. May I join in? If not, then I hope this story turns out nicely.

Sounds like fun , I've been wanting to write my own fan-fic instead of reading and commenting on everyone else's. This is the perfect way of getting my feet wet. I'm in.

Okay, here is some information transfer.
Volunteers-

Now, here is Gold's ideas-


1. Utgar's coliseum. This is based off of the scenario posted by Craig Van Ness on heroscape.com. The theme could be a rescue attempt of some prisoners or an escape attempt by the prisoners themselves. Many viewpoints can be shown from Utgar's fighters to the crowd to the captured allies.

2.Secret ops. Lets say there is an important battlefront which is vital to the war. Both sides want it but Utgar has a current foothold in the area led by one of his cheif leaders (Cypren, Taelord, Ne-Gok-Sa, whoever) He is currently on the verge of pushing the allies out of the area entirely but each general has selected a warrior or two to form an elite group that will cross over into enemy lines and open up a window for the allies to regain ground and remove Utgar from the area permanantly.

3.Seige. A small group of soldiers mixed with allied forces comes to a fortress with the realization that no more troops are coming after them. They are the last reinforcements for a fought after wellspring. Utgar is sending in a vast hoard of gruts, and marro to claim it. Will the fortress withstand the mighty unslaught or will the walls fall beneath Utgar's fist?

Takanuva's idea-

We could have a story that starts in Toril(Or whatever world D&D figures come from) and ends up in Valhalla, and it describes the journey through the Underdark required to get there. The the Generals have to try and convince them to join their different sides(Or they could just make their own side)

So, please discuss what you'd like to do with this.

edit- flameslayer's idea

We could do a story about a kyrie tribe not previously mentioned in HS history. The kyrie weren't known by the generals as they would often be blobs in their vision. These kyrie had their home invaded by rampant goblins and orcs and soon they showed the poor DnD natives some devastating magic and combat moves. Well Utgar gets word and captures the kyrie tribe. Time for a jail break!

[Takanuva]

We could do a little bit of everything, and have it keep jump ingaround to the different 'stories' within the story. Then in the end it could all be tied together.

I like Takanuva's "tie everything in" idea

-Start with Gold's #1 idea, Takanuva's idea and Flamesayer's idea
-These groups meet up and play out Gold's #3
-After battle, remainder of group serves as the reinforcements for Gold's #2.

The beginning of this would be a little hectic, if we did this we would probably have to assign certain "authors" parts, until they all met.

[flameslayer93]

Say that the various groups(gladiators of coliseum,dnd guys, and kyrie tribe) all get captured/summoned to the arena and have a jailbreaking experience. They go the <fort, castle, whatever> to defend it. After being recognized as veteran fighters, they are sent out to perform a war-changing mission.

As this is a circle story, it could be based on assumptions of what each original theorist believed and then being continued by another and so-on and so-forth. It being a hectic start is what'll make it so fun and challenging.

Okay, so were going to go with the "tying it in". Would everyone like to go off of there idea? Then we could begin to merge the stories. But, would people prefer this to be a true circle story you write one paragraph, then me, then you, etc.), a more RPG literature work (a story with each of us having a main character), or a group collaboration (we get the skeleton then assign parts to whoever's willing)? I like a combination of the second and third, we have an idea, now we all just try and advance the story.
