Also, it’s true because you have the next segments claimed for both ongoing Fichains and you have your own to start as well! So the rest of the writers can’t do anything unless you post! 😳

Yup, can we have a post reserved on the first page for story timeline and continuity, and a post for character list? I think it would be easier for participating writers then. Otherwise, ek time baad, it gets confusing 😅

Btw question for all you writers- do y’all want to be able to discuss next steps together? I mean right now, no one knows what the next person is gonna come up with but team work should also involve communication so what do y’all think? Surprise rakhna hai ya phir thoda bohot prompts bhi dena hai agle writer ko? Like having a team discussion on where the story is gonna go? Do you think that will help the story be more coherent?

Lizzie 🤗...... Thank you so much for bringing this point up..... I agree completely that story will have coherence for any reader; only if we all communicate and have teamwork... It's right that suspense keeps the story interesting...... But we can use PM route here on IF and anybody posting her segment can explain the next writer what she has in mind....... Also, if anybody is using some earlier plot reference, one can PM the writer of that segment to get clarity on that part and then continue the link in her writing.

e.g. I was actually wondering what you had in mind when the writing on the wall came up....... Based on earlier segments, I gave the details of writing..... But it's possible to lose coherence when you're going by judgements alone.

As you mentioned in one of your posts a little bit of whisper could help and we have PM as an alternate route. This will bring better flavour to the storyline and keep it interesting, too.

These are just my thoughts on the table..... All of us can ponder together.

Also, there had been discussions about making the fichain thread sticky....... Any further thoughts on that? Better readership will make it more fun😊

The thread is already sticky in the forum, we’ve asked for it to be GAed. Hopefully it happens soon. 🤞🏼 I’m fine with the PM option- that way the suspense still stays & the next writer can still leave people guessing as to where they’re going while making sure they have clarity on what the previous writer intended.

Thread being Sticky is great news, Lizzie. Three cheers to all participant authors.

On a trial basis, Shiri immediately PM kare Ritz ko..... Then Ritz can make any last-minute coherency checks/modifications before she posts. Ritz can PM me and then I'll make modifications in my write-up.

So going by that logic, the next writer can PM any of the previous writers (if they want to) to get clarity on something about a plot point or they can ask on the thread as well, if it does not spoil a future plot point. This way all writers can get clarity. What say, folks?

I think let's keep it as an option rather than a must-do. We should leave things to writers' interpretation too. For eg. In Shibz segment, Chahat talks about them already having a dog, but the next writer (Me! 😆) could either interpret it literally as them already having one or they could take it as a humorous dig (which is what Shibz intended). But since we've said no one person 'drives' the story and everyone collectively does, we should leave that option open for further writers to interpret as they please.

This works best for me, tbh, if Mera Mann Kiya, or inam confused about something, only then i reach out, else I do what I feel will work best not only plotwise, but also to make it more open for others

Thanks for the timelines, Lizzie 🤗
