this out to me, and even though November is still a fair way off, if I don't post about this now I'll probably forget. So, how do you guys feel about doing one of our stories like this? It'll require me to revamp the site a bit in order to support it, but that was probably going to happen at some point anyway.
(And woe betide anyone who uses the phrase "charcoal porno trains" in the comments. I'm looking at you, Vicky!)
Edit for clarity:
The way I intend for us to do this is, we start with the one-sentence summary as our seed, which the first person expands it into a full paragraph. The next set of people each write a character until someone gets assigned who thinks we have enough characters, at which point that person expands one of the sentences from the summary into a full paragraph, and so on.
