Composite Fiction - Update!
Aug. 13th, 2003 01:24 amOkay, after a bit of discussion in the previous entry, I've made some changes to how things will work. Also, I've made the community Open, so people can just add themselves right now. I plan to change that eventually.
Each journal entry will be one story. Each part after the first will be added as a comment on the first piece, so the story can be read in order from top to bottom by reading the "view comments" version. When a member wants to add to the story, they can post a comment that says so. This will keep two people from working on the same piece of the story. After they post the next part, the user can delete their old comment, so the entire page is just the story.
Since this means that the Comments section can't really be used for comments anymore, I thought each story could have a companion journal entry explicitly for comments about it.
