Interactive Story book
I'm just going to come forward and admit that the first two and a half months of this project are where anyone with a bit of will and some ideas can have the most impact on things.
Just in case anyone missed it, next year there will be a series of four books, each one coming out in three month intervals, in which people that come here and make a suggestion, and vote on things, will get to have massive say in things. I'll do the writing work, but everything else is going to come from the minds of the public.
This is your chance, as a group, to tell the world what you really want, instead of just having to take what you are given like Oliver Twist and hungrily beg "Please, sir, may I have some more?"
Having worked with people before, I know that it almost always takes about two and a half months for things to really take off, however. That means the core group, the people that jump in now, will have disproportional influence. Bragging rights too!
So, the first thing I think people should do is come up with the genre they want to see things in.
I personally tend to write Fantasy/Sci-fi or Fantasy Horror.
That doesn't mean I can't write other things as well, however!
We should narrow down the options to about six or less for the vote however. Based on what you like to see, and what you think will sell.
(The best selling book genre is generally Romance.)
That or come up with an argument for why another Genre is a good idea!
I've long held that Christian stories could use more good works for instance.
So, what do you think? Here are some ideas to get things started, but feel free to lobby for one over the others, suggest things I missed, or even make up your own, totally new thing!
Sci-fi
Fantasy
Young Adult
Christian
Other Religion
Horror
Literary
True Crime
Suspense
Romance
Erotica
Holiday
Cooking
Non-fiction specific task "How-to"
And so on. Put your ideas below this, and the most catching, or repeated things will be put in for the actual voting!
We should also mention tone.
I, personally, would like the first vote to have five or six decisions on it, and for each book to be decided by a series of three different votes or so?
That's just me, so if anyone has a better/different idea of how things should be done right now, make that public! To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever tried this before, so we are literally making up the rules as we go along.
Power to the people!
