I do like the idea of different users woriting different stories in the same world. Even in the proffesional world, this is a cool idea that's worked wonderfully because you get a lot of different styles giving different perspectives but within the same universe. Also, it'll be super easy for you guys to communicate and post in the Offtopic format. That being said, i can't really say i have an opinion because there isn't much content yet. There's been three strong introductions, all very well written, and the each story has good potential. However, if there's anything that Offtopic has taught me, its that only a precious few stories that are started actually get finished, and an even smaller minority of those finished stories are finished properly. If i may be so bold to give a tip, and i don't think you three will have trouble with this, it's that you guys need to make sure the stories are connected in some way. If the stories are too untelated, then there's not much of a point to a shared universe; after all, why restrict your own freedom of setting if you're just gonna write seperate stories anyway. I think a good trick is to keep in mind that, much like the real world, every decision that every character makes should send ripples throughout the world. Most of those ripples won't reach the other stories (for example, brutus won't give a flying blam if liam eats a sandwich or salad for lunch), but when they do, those ripples need to reflect in the other users' stories. That way, there is the continuous reminder that these stories are connected and they are meant to be read together, but also being careful that each story retains its individuality and can be read alone. Like i said though, i don't think you three will have trouble nailing this part down.
