Ok so here's the question:
As soon as I get off for summer I plan on doing a new piece of work, NOT an RP. For a long time I have been molding a story (during my crap classes) that I would like to finally put down on paper (or, in this case, the internet). However, I have two nagging problems:
1: It will either be a solo work by me, with no-one else joining in, or it will still be a solo work by me, but everyone gets to vote on what the main character does (to an extent). Which one do you think is good? I personally think the voting idea would be harder to pull off, but it might be more popular. Also, if I get writers cramp, I could let everyone vote on what comes next. As of now I plan on letting this story go where it wants to.
2: Where would I post this? I do not believe it fits the RP board too well, so I'm wondering where it would go. I would really like an answer to this question ASAP, as I might want to post a bit on it before exams kill my mind.
On another note, IF this story becomes popular enough... it MIGHT have the potential to become an RP. I personally think it is highly unlikely though, because most of the RP'ers are already in 3 or more RP's (and reviving the old RP will only add to the 'workload'). Well, those are my questions, answers greatly appreciated. And feel free to tell me if/when you think it should become an RP, perhaps after a couple of the current ones finish. Until then, I will work on my ideas to create a great story.

Oh well, I might as well give you guys a little teaser. This story actually evolved staight out of my history book one day, but don't worry, it'll be far from boring.
Recall if you will the early life of Earth, where all the continents were combined into one super continent, called pangea. As we all know, eventually this landmass broke apart into the continents we know today, bringing great changes to the world. Now take that bit of history, and place it in an alternate dimension where swords and sorcery ruled the land, instead of dinosaurs. Therein lies the setting of my little work, currently called Evolution. And so here begins the true preview of this work:
The land of Lundria is a beautiful continent, immense in size and population. The only continent known to man, Lundria is surrounded on all sides by what seems to be endless ocean. The people are ruled by a just, yet paranoid, emperor, who rules the whole of the continent by himself. It is a peaceful land, largely thanks to the countless soldiers who serve their ruler. But the tides of change are coming...
One by one, reports come into the capital of radical changes taking place throughout the continent. Incredible winds shear buildings in half. Mammoth waves swallow the coastline. Terrible earthquakes demolish towns. Bottomless chasms cut plains in two. Flash blizzards kill the crops and livestock of peasants in the middle of summer. It seems the Earth itself is dying.
Immediately, the emperor commands his staff of scholars and mages to find out what is happening and how to prevent it. The results are undisputable: the continent is breaking apart. This becomes an even more shocking blow as the singular ruler realizes that he will lose all of his power because of this disaster. After the separation of his land, he comes to realize that it would be near impossible to impose his rule over all.
Despite his best efforts, this information is leaked to the public, and chaos breaks out. Thieves rob and pilfer to their hearts delight. Until now unheard-of rebel groups begin attacking the reign of the emperor. The peasants revolt, blaming their once-loved ruler for the corruption of the continent. Priests become hysterical, anouncing the aproach of the apocalypse. All this as the emperor desperately tries to stop the fragmentation of his beloved continent, as well as the inevitable end to his rule.
What role will my character have in the plot? What can the emperor possibly do to save his land and reign? Will history repeat itself? All these questions are to be revealed in my upcoming work this summer. I hope you all enjoy it.

the character should be like a savior or you know like "the one" or if you wanna actually make it different you could have him look like he's a good guy in the beginning and then all of a sudden at the end find out he's really the bad guy. idk. but sounds good so far

or maybe change the Role Play board into Role Play/Fanfiction, then have each as a sub-board of that. I don't think a lot of people would check out entertainment for fanfic's.... *shrug*
Whatever works, as long as I get to put it somewhere on this site.

Uh-huh...
As the only other writer here, I find it odd that I have not responded to your idea ET. Even though you've probably already forgotten about this thread, I will now give you my opinion.
*Ahem*
Drum roll, if you please?
*drum roll*
Thank you
I think your basic storyline is okay, but one character wouldn't be able to do much. The character would have to either work in a position of power, let's say maybe the emporer's right hand man. Or maybe he could be the leader of a peasant revolt, or another leader of some kind.
Other than that, it's a good idea and I encourage you to write it, Mr. Trigun.

one character wouldn't be able to do much RPG-style party of characters? just a suggestion... *slides into corner...*

Don't worry, I can make it work. It might be like an RPG, only not. Perhaps it could become an RP in time, but as of now, it's a solo work. Right now, it's still being worked out. I'm not even sure of how long I'd like it to be. The way I plan it, the story will take me where it wants to, and I won't even know the ending till it happens.
*SPOILERS FOR THE TRIGUN SERIES IF YOU CARE*
On a completely off-topic note, I just watched Wolfwood die in Trigun again. Man, I should watch the whole series again sometime. I love my DVD box set...

Your gonna want to modify your post and mark it for spoilers, I didn't mark one of my posts and gave away a part to FFX once, then Jiub got really angry at me fior ruining it for him.
