You definitely did not screw anything up, @llmay. I think a bunch of collabs are kind of failing because they were created a mere few weeks before NaNo, and then there was Christmas and New Years. So really I think it's simply a matter of too many distractions at once. If it is any consolation on your collab moderating skills, there are a number of collabs that I was/am involved in that have fallen into some type of coma since NaNo started. It's hard to bring them back to life, too.

While I'm not at all opposed to sticking around and seeing if I have any other ideas, I really have no clue where I would even go with my next chapter. :/ It sucks because I like my character, I just am not as immersed in the story as I'd hoped we would all be by this point. :(

Keep it going! I love my character so much, i'm not sure what'll happen but i'm sure we can figure out a concrete storyline :)

Yeah I think if I had more immediate direction I'd be more inclined but at the moment my character is chasing after a character that has only posted one chapter (*eyes @Lilley accusingly*)

Just thinking, since we need a direction for the story, Cosilla owned 3/4 of the world accoridng to the AQ, so couldn't the virtues find their way into the other 1/4 and then even though its against the laws (iassume it is?), the goverment send the gifted after them? Just an idea, but up to you guys lol :)

That would definitely at least get them all together and give the story a cohesive direction. That's an interesting idea, @Cat_Monty.

That sounds awesome to me, great idea @Cat_Monty
Was there a name already for the 1/4 part of the world?
if not we could name it Shian (she-in) I heard that somewhere the other day and thought it was cool XD anyway just putting it out there if the story does end up going in that direction.

i like that name idea :D What kind of place would it be? I kinda thought the 1/4 part might've been made of a few small countries. For some reason i want to write a chapter where Francis is going through a huge jungle and there are people who live in the treetops, but again, just an idea xD

I am liking all of the brainstorming that is happening in this thread right now.

just saying.

Me too :D @rhetoric -- and maybe it could just be like a very tribal area with jungles @Cat_Monty ... its a very different setting and sounds sorta out of control (one of the reasons why Cosilla couldnt own it) sounds legit to me XD idk haha

yes, and cosilla offcials realise too late that they've sent them somwhere where they have no control over them and send others after them? i don't know. and maybe in the other 1/4 they respect abilties and don't see it as a bad thing? I know my character Francis wouldn't plan on leaving the place anytime soon lol xD
