XP: Notes from a plotting session...

[deathpixie]

Rossi: Tag team? I'll direct if you produce?

Matt: I will not be your monkey! ... wait, that's kind of my niche, isn't it? Dammit, I'm the monkey.

Rossi: You're the tin dog! ;)

Matt:

"I want my character to do something cool."

"WE ARE IN A PLOT."

"Yeah, but I never get to do cool stuff. I want to be awesome!"

"WE ARE IN. A. PLOT."

"If only there were some way I could show my character totally rocking
the house."

"WE. ARE. IN. A. PLOT."

"...hey, what about this plot we're in?"

I'm somewhat fascinated by how all this works.

*grins* Lots of email discussions to decide what a plot's going to do, someone writing it, someone submitting it as the Plotrunner (usually the same person, but not always) and then a lot of herding cats to get the writing parts done.

So basically the same as RR's but with a little more chaos mixed in. *grins*

Imagine trying to arrange an orgy in which all the guasts have extreme ADHD, everyone is fucked up on meth, and they're all wearing gas masks and wetsuits with entirely unique arrangements of buttons, straps and zippers to remove.

Kind of like your 25th birthday party, actually.

...I don't think I want to be in plots anymore...XD

But just think of all the leather wear you could get out of it...*grins*

Reminds me of Futurama; "Thinking hurts it! Maybe I can think of a way to use that!"
