Fly Paper:meta

Use this page for comments on the process of developing Fly Paper as collaborative fiction in a wiki environment.

=General Comments= Just a thought, most fiction is written in the past tense, not the present like your story. The present tense reads more like a script, which may be what you were intending, but I find it difficult to read. MikeDockery

Mike: I agree that it is a problem. I got into the habit of using the present tense in my fiction many years ago and it is a hard habit to break. Possible solutions.... I have to admit that I know nothing about the conventions of "fan fiction" so I am likely to ruffle some feathers. JWSchmidt 07:41, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)
 * Link to Fly Paper from the Scripts page.
 * Put a warning/comment about the use the present tense at the start of the story.
 * Change the story to use the past tense.
 * Past tense narrative is hardly an innovation of fanfic! Rather, present tense continuity is the custom of real time off the cuff rpg, low quality output with no rewriting facilitated.
