OCC or out of character context is the term for discussing the direction this story will go. This thread is for planning, plotting, and talking out of character. The goal of this thread is to provide an accessible source of communication for all contributors. We need to discuss a few things before we begin writing the story.
1. We need to know who is contributing or is willing to lend us your characters for use in our stories. After we get a count of the players we may need basic information about your characters.
2. Please submit ideas for where your characters would like to travel. For example, Question Lad would like to travel to Brazil.
3. Rules- Please follow all the rules of this forum when contributing to the story. The tone of this story will be that of animation. Movies such as Mulan, Anastasia, and The Road to El Dorado give an idea of how I want this to be carried out. What we are aiming for here is quality, so as a group we will be creating specific rules for this story. For example, it will be against the rules of this thread to kill other players characters without their permission.
Please submit any questions, comments, or concerns to this thread.

I guess we should decide how many playable characters each writer is allowed to have. I am thinking a maximum of two characters per each writer, excluding of course characters created by the group as a whole.
What are your thoughts?

Is this intended to be a Roleplay or a tag team thread? Interesting concept!
It sounds like this will be on Earth, which makes sense now that trade with Earth has opened up following 'the Gold Watch'. Those that have never been or haven't been there in awhile might like to see it.
Let me think about a character I'd want in the story. With Novella so intense, I'm not sure it would be good to commit Cobalt or Lolita right now, even though it sounds like a fun idea for Cobie. Luckily I have dozens of other Alts and Gen-Cars in my arsenal.

I'm in. Not looking to go anywhere in particular, since this is my first time to Earth...anywhere will be interesting and exciting.

We will probably be starting the trip in Fawcett City. The Sivana Family name has a lot of power behind it, and Emily is going to use it to her advantage on this trip. Even if that means visiting her crazy family.

This is going to be fun. After the list of real world places is up, I can provide some background on each. We can tweak that info to fit the LMB universe.
For that matter, given the abilities of IB, Emily Sivana and Question Lad, we can insert places as we go along and it would still make sense in-story.

I wonder if we can do something with this list of places. Like, maybe the gang starts out on a normal road trip, but along the way discover a puzzle to solve. Maybe it can be as simple as collecting an item from each location.

I like the idea of a scavenger hunt. I hope to provide some exciting subplots. If we start out a normal road trip, is there any other North American city, real or fictional, that someone would like to visit?
