Right chaps and chapettes. Here's how it's gonna go:
Each writer will be randomly assigned a chapter (I will really pull names out of a hat, cos I hate making decisions). Illustrators the same. If you are joining in, write me an email when you read this (to vitriolica@gmail.com) so that I have your email address and to let me know whether you are writing, illustrating or both (and if you would like to illustrate more than once, since there are fewer of us than there are of them!). If you still wanna join and missed the deadline...ach, deadline, scheadline.... , write to me anyway... we can still aspire to "suitable boy" or "war and peace" length!
I'm going to set up a fresh blog for the greatest novel ever written and I'll host and post the stuff you email to me.
As soon as I receive each finished chapter I will send it to the illustrator for that chapter and to the writer assigned to the next chapter. As soon as the illustration is ready, I'll post the two together.
Length and style of chapter or style of illustration are purely, simply and entirely up to you. I'll just suggest a tiny something as a start point for the whole thing ... it may be a word or a erm... a bearded nun!
We just all need to bear in mind that some poor sod has to carry on from where we leave off... except the poor sod who gets the last chapter.
Once we get started, let's keep the momentum going. So, two chapters a week would be super, otherwise we'll be here until 2012. If you find you're not going to be able to do your chapter or illo (as them/you aussies insist) within two or three days, just let me know and I'll move the next sucker up the list.
Right, any questions?
