Hey everyone! For the people who missed out (Dani and Rhe, I believe), we started tossing around some ideas on Skype for this round!
Here are some format possibilities we came up with: - Illustrated fic - Fanventure - Audio reading + Illustrated fic in Flash format
I think most people are on board with the Audio + Illustrated Fic idea. Pros: Something different, everyone can contribute Cons: Could be a bit difficult to pull together, we need someone who can use Flash
I'm willing to learn Flash and I don't think it should be too hard to create the file C: So that's okay! Dani, Rhe, let us know if you like this idea.
I also sent an ask to the mods, and it turns out that there are no limits for the Collab Round, which means we can go absolutely nuts with this! We don't have to worry about image or word limits. That said, we should try to keep it realistic - we do need to be able to pull it together fairly quickly.
We also discussed the theme of Aberration a bit! - Both ladies are aberrations - Handmaid's 'demon powers' + Condesce's powers from Lord English - Both are immortal - Extreme ends of the haemospectrum - They're following a pattern of servitude & destruction - There's also a cool alternate meaning of 'aberration', which is, "apparent displacement of a heavenly body, owing to the motion of the earth in its orbit." - Handmaid lived for a long time in the green sun, Condesce is on Derse. - Condesce's travels through space - That definition could theoretically be applied to them as a metaphor or something with one of them standing in for the heavenly body and the other standing in for the earth - Handmaid's servitude being 'in orbit' around people/events, Condesce believing the world revolves around her
So that is the documentation of the brainstorming so far! I think there are some really neat concepts in there that we can pull together. If anyone has any more ideas, or different ideas (especially Dani and Rhe!), let us know!
