Summary so far:

We are writing a rom com. Each chapter will have a minimum of 1000 words. No maximum word limit. We will write in third person. We will use the characters of IPK and no new characters will be introduced. There will be 2 updates per week. See list below for schedule. Each update will be reviewed before being published by the person who wrote the chapter before them and the person who will go after them, as well as by me. The reviewers are not allowed to change content, but only offer suggestions and edit grammar/typos. This is also helpful to the person who has to write the next chapter as they have a heads up on content. We can create a PM account just to PM updates. Volunteers for sharing PM-ing responsibilities are most welcome. Other suggestions include creating a Twitter account and sending out emails for updates.

I will write a teaser and put it up tomorrow so we can take a vote on titles for the story and get an idea what it might be like..maybe change it if it is not agreeable to everyone.

Ok, I am going to keep updating the order in which people want to write in this post here as and when I get confirmation.

another rom com.

perhaps a genre like Game of Throne or Lord of the Rings, i dont think this has been attempted

spy thriller like bourne series?

murder mystery

series of One Shots starts with same beginning but ends differently for each author

Lord of the Rings sounds the most challenging but since fantasy is my favourite genre this is most exciting too. Others might disagree. Personally I would love to see Khushi as an elf

Vid I am a part of this discussion coz I want to see how great minds (sans me) think. I am really not sure if I wish to write

Hey..

Sounds interesting, as I said before...
If we are 20 people writing an FF there can not be a fixed storyline cos everyone has a different outlook to one theme.
Like if I say "death" all of us can think of more than 3 plots.

So we should stick to a theme that is more flexible and personally I prefer humor.

I think we can discuss more. A strict plot might restrict creativity..

Chalo chalo tells tells.. Arnav and Khushi 😭 I miss them

Hola!

Haha! Maxineji! I love the maybe you added in there! ;)

Okay, so this might sound a bit mental to you, and that's okay, because I am crazy, but I have been a part of a multi-author FF collab before, and here's how it went. It went from Khushi planning Payal & Arnav's murder to Khushi getting drunk off her ass to NK kissing a guy to Khushi and Arnav meeting their kids who came into the past using a time-turner...

So as you can see, the FF turned a bit mental. Now, in this, no one had any idea of what was being written except the person writing it. And I, personally, didn't feel like that took away the control, more like I wouldn't know what's coming next and what my starting point would be and I loved the uncertainty.

Hello! well.. I really want to contribute to it... but this is going to be a busy month... so I don't want to be one of the first to be updating... also the concerns you mentioned are very important to be answered. There are a lot of people involved here and with different writing styles I believe. I'm fairly new to writing and have never done a collab before. How's this ever going to work? I'm confused.

Also..I think the story should be light and rom-com types, it'll be easier for everyone to collaborate then. Mysteries and thrillers are are outcome of one mind, not many. So that won't work out I guess.

I agree with both MentalExotica and blahblah16. Rom com would appeal to everyone and would be a tad easier to write too

(Can I know your names pls?)
