This collab is mainly meant for authors from AoA but I have no issues with new characters joining the storyline if they wish. though you might want to read AoA first (settle down, be a long read) --> http://www.protagonize.com/exercise/atlas-of-atlantis

Couldn't think of a better tittle for now xD Basically with AoA there's still a lot of development that can happen with Will and Melody still needs to track down whoever turned her. (who I may take on as third POV, not sure yet). This is just to see if anyone has other ideas to do with their character and weather they're up for a second story :)

Characters so far -

Name: William Ellner
Age: 18
Species Sub-category: human
Appearance: Short, out-of-control brown hair and dark, navy blue eyes. 5'7, well-built.
Written by: Cat_Monty

Name: Melody Ellner
Age: 18
Species Sub-category: vampire; newly turned
Appearance: 5'4 with long brown curls and icy blue eyes
Written by: Cat_Monty

Name: Dante
Age: 28
Species Sub-category: Lycanthrope (Bear)
Appearance: Big, muscular, and scruffy; has shorter brown hair; clothes are ragged and torn (looks homeless).
Written by: TheBear73

Name: Colette Blake
Age: 20
Species: Faerie
Appearance: 5'6 with earthy green eyes and short, spiky black hair. A very Petit frame and feminine face with light freckles across her nose.

Hi dear! I'm not sure if I'm up for another just yet but I'll follow this and see how the planning goes :D Who knows, maybe you guys will strike me with some inspiration!

One of the ideas I had with Melody and Will is that they go back to their house and to the park where Melody was turned to look for clues/hints about the person who turned her. I was thinking seeing as how Will reacted badly maybe he comes from an area that doesn't like non-human beings? So they get chased out of town or something happens while their there? Just throwing some ideas about :)

I would love to include Dante into this story who would be there each step of the way... and he could also point out some hot spots for non-human area's because he has been forced to travel the world for the last 12 years of his life

I guess what I would like to know is where are we going to start Miss Cat

Maybe a few months after the events of AOA, everythings calm then something happens or maybe Melody just announces she wants to track down whoever turned her? Another idea I had was maybe they try and find a way to undo the bear curse, or make it so Dante will be the last to carry it?

We had done a "short term" solution for that would extend Dantes life 1500 years... although immortality would be a cool thought... but I like the tracking down of the one who turned her

I'm waiting to see who else from AoA is interested in this for now and see what their ideas around their characters are. With Will, I kind of want Eric to stay in the storyline, though I guess Dante could also teach him control and such if needed.
I am looking forward to the chapter when Will decides to have "The Talk" with Dante about Melody xD

OMG... That would be grand... considering Dante is 10 years older than him

Also Dante is a lot stronger so you just know Will would be trying not to sweat throughout it xD

LOL... I think it should flip half way through from Will talking to him to Dante telling him to find and woman and be happy for a while

ha xD I haven't yet decided if I want Will to find someone. For all his loud talking he's actually very awkward around girls. Just like he's actually a coward, though he's slowly overcoming it in AoA. Just a shame he isn't too strong.

Well... Dante can change that... It wouldn't be hard to whoop him into shape

o.0 somehow I imagine dating tips from Dante to Will would be a funny scene considering it'd be easy to make Will embarrassed xD

One idea is what if the government is still after them? or after Dante? maybe they want to study the bear curse and because they all believe the government are trying to fix it (when their actually trying to create a new weapon or something) they go along with it, and the person who turned Melody is there and she can kind of sense him. Because maybe at a short distance a vampire can sense its sire?
Just some ideas xD

You can pick out what ever you want to This will be your story... although the fact that the bear is a curse is more of a legend among the lycan... If the government is after them though... they would be looking for something in his genes to find the mutation of the lycan gene

So are we still going to do this or not... would be nice to... I've been MIA for some time while I've been at work... but I'm to start if AoA is done

I'd still like to do this, but struggling to come up with a concrete storyline of events that could occur. I'd like to know if the others are interested before taking it further. Might drop them a comment and see what they say :)

Well... If it goes how I think it will... Eden, Atlas, Elseron, Pilot, and Phaedos will all end up staying in Atlantis due to their obligations when the ending finally gets written

About this group

For those interested in outlining and discussing specific ongoing storylines.

Sometimes simply using the comments area to refine a story's plot, sending private messages to co-authors to discuss characters, or updating the author guidance with setting information isn't quite enough.

If you have an elaborate, complex tale — be it solo or collaborative — come by the Planning & Brainstorming group to storyboard, outline, annotate, draft, and discuss your work's plot, characters, setting, history, intrigue, or anything that comes to mind.

Please try and keep all discussion topics you create centered around a single work!

Note: The intention is to move all story-related discussions in this group into "Story Wikis" (a new feature, currently in planning) down the road, so please use this group instead of posting new works to discuss backstory/characters/story meta-information.
