ShadowSide : Since I know we have a lot of talented writers on the site, that don't always have enough time to write, or enough patience to edit, I propose we start a ring!
We can do this several ways. One configuration would be a person writes a prologue (or comes up with an idea if it's a one time story), another carries on the story, and the final person edits before posting. This way there can be three successful, high quality stories being produced at around the same time. That's just an example, we can make rings as big or small as you'd like (although smaller would be more like a writer / editor agreement more than a ring, but none the less).
The basic principal behind rings is not only to get some good fanfics going for reading pleasure, but also to improve writing skills, editing skills, and general creativity. It also allows for criticisms to be given before posting, so we have less and less spam stories and more and more quality pieces of literary art.
Tell me what you guys think, or if you're interested in making/joining a ring.
Just to let you know, the Sin and Number Zero prologues are open for anyone to continue, since I know Ryan won't write anymore. Same goes for my Enslaved prologue.
And, I would definitely be interested in joining a ring if enough people are interested.

BlackNazgul : No offense, but I don't agree with this idea. It may work for you and others, but not me. I tend to write by myself, and only by myself, because the plots in my stories are so intricately twisted that only I can know what all happens at the end. It's like a spoiler for others if they get to continue/ edit my stories. Also, I find that creativity is unique for the individual, so if other people add on to your story or edit it to their tastes, the original author might not approve of it any longer because it is no longer their own imaginitive ideas. Letting others change my work doesn't seem right to me.
It's a good idea for people who are open about their writing, but as for me, I think I'll sit this one out thanks.

It wasn't a personal invitation, sheesh. We don't want you in a ring anyways, you have your own stuff to do. This was more geared toward newer writers, you know what, I really don't care that much.
>.> I love this group of people has the talent to take a topic and rear it of course in a matter of minutes. o_O

Actually, I first said months, but when I went back and checked, I actually posted the previous chapter on 4/24, which happens to be exactly 2 weeks ago.
