At my request, Scott has created a sub-board. The time travel story is very complex, and a group has been talking about it behind the scenes, planning things out. It's too big of a conversation for email, and I know that not everyone involved with the story has been a part of the conversation, so we now have the new board here. It's a place to exchange ideas and plan.
If you're interested in being a part of this storyline, drop me a PM and I'll send you the password. (We're going out of town this weekend, so it might not be for a couple of days.) The reason it's password protected is that we don't want to give any plot points away, keep things a surprise for anyone who is just reading. If you want to be a part of the story please commit to it, there have been too many times I've seen people start with a story, only to drop out part way through. Also, since it's being planned out, please don't just start posting without knowing what's going on.
Thanks!

Thanks to you and Scott, Paula for setting this up. It is sorely needed. Mass emails get confusing sometimes with this type of planning.
I look forward to hearing everyone's ideas. When you have such a complex plotline, it's nice to be able to lay it all out to see where it might go! And when everyone works together, it makes it so much easier.

Yes, it is a big story happening, and I'm a bit lost to be honest...trying to figure out my own direction with some of my own ideas taking some form in the story somewhere...LOL
I'll PM you Paula!

I know that I have been away for a really long time...again.
But I'm happy to become involved once more. All I have been posting recently is sort of about Artus getting back on his feet, hoping to make a fresh start. But I would be glad to go along with whatever comes my way.

I think I need to clarify my intentions in asking for the password protected board. When I first mentioned it here, I was headed out of town at 5am the next morning and still had a million things to do before I left, but I wanted to get the conversation up and running, so I guess I rushed what I said.
The new sub-board is not meant to be exclusive. If you want the password, just drop me a note and I'll send it to you. What was happening was that a small group of us were having an email conversation about the storyline, bouncing around a bunch of ideas. We wanted to be able to include everyone interested in the conversation, we knew that people were being left out, and email conversations can get really long and annoying anyway. So we thought about moving the conversation here. But...there are people who read our story but aren't involved. We didn't want to give any spoilers away. (We have our lurkers, you know.) So I asked Scott to set up a "hidden" board, make it password protected so that no one checking the "20 latest posts" would see anything unintentionally. I wasn't trying to keep people out, just the opposite. I was trying to keep everyone interested, in.
As far as the story is concerned, I do ask that if you want to be involved that you make a commitment to it, and that you join in on the conversation. This is a very complex storyline (we're talking time travel, for Sagan's sake!) and it's being planned out quite a bit. In past stories we've had people who have just jumped in, right in the middle, without any conversation with those involved, and have ruined momentum, if not the story. I'm just asking that people not do that this time around. For a group like this to work we need to communicate. That's what the new board is for. I wasn't trying to say that someone couldn't be involved, just asking that they just not start posting without an idea of what's going on. If you want in on the story, just send me a PM and I'll send you the password. Logan has posted large parts of the email conversation there already, it won't take long to get caught up.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone or made them felt left out, that wasn't my intention at all. We have the potential for the most exciting, thought-provoking story ever, and I just wanted to make sure there was a place where everyone could be involved, if they wanted, without giving anything away.

Yeah, this storyline is complicated and deserves discussion behind the scenes. Don't want to give all the plot points away on the main board! That's no fun for the readers.
I hope everyone who chooses to be involved in the story has fun with it!
