[b]What is this thread about?[/b]
Basically, this thread, originally was intended for:
[QUOTE=Rouik;27024483]Alright, so I've been writing scraps of things for a while, generally under the sci-fi or fantasy genre and I was looking to see if anyone was interested in starting a small project. Something along the lines of creating our own world/universe and working on it to give it some life (holy shit this sounds a lot like 40k or something doesn't it?!). Basically, if you think about how amazing 40k is (in universal size), but also how little other universes of similar comparison are out there, there aren't many at all (I don't want to hear about Tolkien). I am thinking of starting a website (I have the money/knowledge) to base it around and for ideas to be thrown around and kept online.
tl;dr - interested in writing/starting something massively creative? Got some good ideas? - reply.[/QUOTE]
(this is old now)
What I'm now wanting to do is start from the very beginning, and something many people can actually contribute to, without being a writer. I want to get suggestions for a plot setting/theme, and character ideas. Just this, to begin with. Small ideas which can be further developed upon in the future amongst a small/ish group of people, to see where they go. If you have a good idea for character/city/planetary/universal names, feel free to post them. All ideas and feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Also, inb4 post examples of work. I don't want literary nerds ruining the point of this thread. This is about ideas and creating a base that can be worked on in the future. Then postings of work can be provided.
We should center a universe around the elusive house hippo.
