So my friends and I have built an ultramodern, epic and fantastical sort of setting, and put together a forum that people can join to take part in the various stories being played out in this world. The concept is called "play-by-post", or sometimes "collaborative writing". The idea is that you join up and create a character concept that fits into the world. This character would have different specs, different motivations, strengths, weaknesses, personality quirks, and a back-story. You would team up with other members and write stories together, each writing what happens from the point of view of their own character, and reacting to what the other characters do or say. It's a great way to develop character ideas, or just keep your writing skills honed without having to stress about writing a whole freakin' novel.

We're looking for interested members to join our little corner of the interwebbies, get to know us, and have a good time letting our imaginations run wild. Something you'd be into? Toss me a message, or even just sign right up! The forum is here: www.empyreanfates.com

You can also come into our chat without signing up and say hi, or post questions to our questions board. We're a small and welcoming group, so any earnest queries will be well-received. Hope to see some of you around!
