Yes, I have started a new tale. However this is unlike any other I have ever done before. This is NOT going to be a story that transverses the entire gamut of the EUII period with one nation, or two, or three. It is going to be somewhat interactive as well. This is something I've had stuck in my head for about a month and I just can't get it out of there, so I decided to work with it. Plus I have never seen anything like it before here on the forums, so why not do something that has never been done before?
What is this idea? Simply enough just as the title suggests it will be about various detectives<even though the mere idea of detectives wasn't even truly invented yet!>, spies and whatever other kind of occupation that strikes our fancy. Yes, I said OUR fancy.
The premise is that if I start with a detective story then there will be voting for WHICH nation it will be set in, what period of time, and what kind of crime. Then I will write the story, however long it takes. Then we will progress to another nation, and then decide if it will be another detective story or a spy story or something else altogether!
The sky is the limit! Well, except that it has to be plausibly possible for it to have happened during the time frame I will be writing. No modern weapons, vehicles, et al. Obviously.
So here is the first list of things to vote upon.
1. What kind of story should start it all?<Once we know we can narrow it down further, of course!>
a. Detective
b. Spy
c. other?<to be determined later
2. What Continent should it be set in?<once we have a continent we can narrow it down to which nation!>
a. Europe
b. Asia
c. Africa
d. North America
e. South America
f. Australia
g. Middle East<yes, I know it isn't a continent, work with me people!>
3. What period of time?<To be narrowed down later>
a. 1419-1519
b. 1520-1620
c. 1621-1721
d. 1722-1820
Okay, we have three categories to start with! Let's get some voting and start narrowing it down so that I can begin entertaining you with a tale. As I mentioned before, this is something that could be ongoing for a very long time, as we do not have to be linear in our thinking. We might have a story set in the 1700's one time and then back into the 1400's the next!
So let's get started and let the ideas start flowing!
