Time for another round of "Ask the Characters!"

[nute.livejournal.com]

Yes, everyone's favorite meme, open to player and audience participation as well! Most of you have played this game (or the home version), but for those newcomers, it's simple: Post a question for any character in the game, and get it answered in and/or out of character!

Anyone's welcome to participate, ask as many questions as you like, as often as you like. Have fun!

Right, since I'm technically the idiot in charge of a major plot right now, why not divulge?

Logging depnds on the player. They're usually written in tandem over email or in AIM. Some prefer email and some prefer AIM. I like AIM because it's more immediate, but then I have a lot more mistakes that need editing later.

Planning usually takes some advance warning, especially if it's a big one. You have to work this stuff out at least a couple of months in advance if it involves a lot of players. (or a plot that's just starting to happen has actually been in the works for MONTHS) Your plot is your plot, you send it to the mods for approval, and they'll make sure you're not running over someone else's toes and keeping your facts straight, but the details are solely yours and anybody else's you plotted with.

Then it's up to you to write everything that you need. The mods have no set plan for the game, they just try to keep it from going down in flames.

Take Ghost of a Chance. The email went out for that a few months prior to June. The call went up for players who were interested, and we sent our ideas to the plot-holder (who would be Tarot's player, in this case) for her approval. She handled the very plot-specific logs, while the rest of us were able to come up with visions and whatnot and post them.

Earlier, if you count the discussions that Twiller and I had before I even went public with the plot.
