If I had to wait for dc to finish her stuff and give an opinion about every detail that goes into this, none of the three stories I wrote would ever had been written because the inspiration would have since long passed.
I think the thing with storyverses like ours is that since multiple authors (with equally busy lives) are involved, we had rather just let things be free and let how this relationship unfolds go beyond certain set story-markers that has to be written. It is pretty nice to be able to just be surprised even as an author  . Armies... *grumblegrumble*... armies....!!!??
Not that our style doesn't have its downsides, speed is one thing, but this way none of us feel forced to follow any deadlines and can pretty much work independently from each other, mostly following when inspiration strikes. |
Oh, I'm not worried about deadlines and I'm aware no one expected this to take off across multiple authors. It's just that I don't want it to go on like this so much that we forget about the progress and not see the main event happen to justify it all. Look at Shadowsverse--If I'm not mistaken, we still haven't seen exactly
how Vivio and Lutecia started dating in that 'verse, or how it built up to that point.
