The Lerteiran Chronicles - by BlacknBlue & Distracted

[Reanok]

I think Bnb and Distracted teaming up for a story it's going to be good. Ginar's story was really good.

[Linda]

Of course I am enjoying all of these and am so glad that the stories keep coming on a regular basis!

The Lerteiran Chronicles - by BlacknBlue & Distracted

Whoo! A seriously great ride.

[CX]

It's pretty interesting, but I have a couple reservations about it.

[Asso]

And that is?

[JadziaKathryn]

Well, my reservation is that I'm pretty sure they can't write a sequel fast enough to suit me!

[Elessar]

yeah, given the talent behind the wheel, I expect Lerteiran Chronicles to be a hell of a show, and I wasn't disappointed

[CX]

It was pretty good in that, for the most part, I couldn't tell who was writing what or where the transitions were. There was one place I thought Bnb kind of showed through, but for the most part there was no distinct differences between their writing styles.

[blacknblue]

Thanks. I feel complimented indeed if I can be confused with Dis.

Actually, we both wrote most of it. We whacked it back and forth across the internet like a volleyball. One would write a bit, then toss it over email to the other. The other would review and scribble, then add a little bit more and toss it back. The first one would take it, maybe re-write their original, or maybe not, tinker and fudge a dab here and a tweak there, argue a little bit, we would get off on a tangent and decide to re-route the whole plot line and go off in a different direction, then toss it back over again. The whole thing was an exercise in total chaotic creative madness. Neither one of us had the least idea of where we were going or what we would end up with. Exactly the way I prefer to work.

What part did you think was mine CX? Tell me and I will let you know if you guessed right.

I would think the battle scene would be a dead giveaway, since I totally suck at battles. The method of creation sounds about right, though. I think we both fly by the seat of our pants when we write a story.

Ditto about being mistaken for BnB, BTW... what an awesome compliment! Makes my night.

[evcake]

Its a good battle scene - I don't usually respond to them, but this was different. Maybe it eas the special effects.
Who wrote:
Daniel closed his eyes in actual pain. “The only way to insert a new idea into a Vulcan is to use anti-matter. That’s a proven fact,” ?
I think it was BnB.

[blacknblue]

If we get started dissecting who wrote which parts, it might defeat the whole purpose of a coop.

Generally, I wrote the destructive parts, and Dis wrote the people-people parts. I am better at describing ugly stuff, and she is better at describing the "aw..." stuff. Aside from that, we really did re-write each other's sections a fair amount. For instance, I invented Senek, she gave him a name and an identity. We argued back and forth for quite a while on how much of a hard case bastard to make him. See what I mean? Same for ship names, and OOC back stories, and everything else. NOTHING went into that story that didn't get chewed over and debated.

BTW, Dis wouldn't let me make the battles and fights as bloody as I wanted them to be. She said Vulcans wouldn't act like that.

*pout*

[Distracted]

That IS a good line, isn't it? I thought it was funny when I first read it, too.
