Is it possible to have a story written from different views by different people?


I just had a thought, for a different kind of story, If someone developed an outline for a story.

With how the story should flow, A beginning. A Plot, a list of characters, including the main characters, Example

Eames
Goren
Logan
Ross
Killer
Victim-if living or pior to being killed
suspects

and everyone who was involved would know how it ended. Of course you wouldn't want too many people involved, maybe 4 at the most. But each writer would be responsible for writing the point of view of the character they are incharge of. Who ever comes up with the story would write down how the story unfolds, basically explains how the scenes are played out, like a play, but then the person says how their character reacts in the scene. Then the scene is written and published when it is agreed uppon by all involved.
Does this make sense?

Does it sound possible?

Yes it does. and the idea is really cool. So, who's volunteering to be the main editor and outline director?

I have story ideas, but don't have the experience to pull it together. I could write non regular characters, I don't think I have found Eames' or Goren's voice yet. I could probably pull off Ross maybe even Rodgers.

Main Editor would have to be someone with lots of writing experience.

This sounds like rolle-playing to me, just a little more formal and planned out. A very nice idea!
I volunteer for Goren, I think I hear him well. I had an idea for a story too, but I've never really done anything with it. I can work with the group to map it out. It's a crime story, a bit on the intense side, but with few characters.

Yeah, I love the idea too! With me since I have experience of making story ideas and fictional characters, I can give a good storyline for Goren and Eames...a very good one.

ok
How about Janx you do Goren
Triton you could do the story line, but you need to give us a list of characters
I would prefer to be a non title character,
Any volunteers for Eames?
Any editors?
Any other Characters.

Sounds like fun. Since I'm on vacation, I volunteer to be an innocent bystander, a "background person", and will sit here eagerly on the couch, waiting to read, review, comment, eat tacos and cheesecake, and cheer ya'll on!

Have fun!

Sound great to me. I volunteer for Ross.

Hey we are doing this on another website I visit. This is a great idea. Since I don't write well, I would not work well with this. Good luck though. Looking forward to reading it.

Goren-Janx

TennCiFan-Ross

JRyan-Axillary-murder-or-victim

fancymom-Bystander-or how about Witness

Triton- story outline( will you do a character too?)

"Duplicity"

Storyline: An assistant to a well-known ADA is shot to death. Goren and Eames are put into the investagation, but when they are searching for suspects their trail leads them to a brother-sister pair, who will do at nothing to have their way...quite possibly murder; however, a ghost from Goren's past comes back to haunt him. Meanwhile, Goren and Eames' partnership are in question when their emotions are put to the test.

Main Cast:
Det. Robert Goren
Det. Alexandra Eames
Capt. Daniel Ross

Casting Call:
[ADA Eric Locke]- DA Jack McCoy's student pupil and Major Case's ADA who succeed Kent, who then succeeed Carver. His actions on court are very similar to McCoy.

[Internal Affairs Agent Fields]- IA secret agent who is on lead of investagating Goren and Eames' past as partners.

[ADA Ray Thomas]- A charamistic, honest, and most well-known Manhattan ADA, whose popularity is put into question when his most loyal assistant is killed. Is his status just as double-sided as his big ego.

[Sabrina Cambridge]- Assistant to ADA Thomas; she don't have the same popularity as her boss does, but she does has a reputation as a waitress in a bar, which she keeps a secret. However, her secret life will be just be gone as her assistant job when she is shot to death. (victim)

[Elli Pierceson]- Sister of the Mahattan's DA's assistant, Connor, Elli is a law grad and she knows her way with men. She will do at nothing to get what she wants when something comes to her, she gets it. When she is proposed to be Thomas's wife, her brother conspires with her to ruin the ADA's popularity, but does this conspiracy have ties to Sabrina's death. However, they have a third in their party.

[Connor Pierceson]- Brother of the law grad, Elli, Connor is the Manhattan's DA's assistant and just like her sister, gets whatever he wants; his almost-status is shot down when ADA Thomas comes into the picture, so he decides to conspire with Elli to take him down, but does this conspiracy he's masterminding have ties to Sabrina's unforunate death. However, they have a third in their party.

[Det. Chambers] - Walk Goren and Eames through the crime scene.

[CTU Tech]- Explains to Goren and Eames the projectile of the bullets and the gun's type.

[Jasmine]- A waitress at Club Ten, which is where Sabrina also worked at; she is questioned by Eames about Sabrina's double life and reputation to the club.

[Arty]- A publicist/aide to ADA Thomas who is questioned by Goren and Eames about ADA Thomas's wherabouts as well his.

[Jim Jim]- Bartender of Club Ten, and Sabrina's boyfriend who is questioned by Goren about his girlfriend's double life.

[Dalvos]- A Russian gangster, who's regular to the club questioned by the dectectives about his regular waitress.

[ME Rogers]- Helps Goren and Eames about the position of the bullets that killed Sabrina.

[Jack McCoy]- haves several discussions with Locke about the ADA's assistant death and the case about the Major Case detectives.

SURPRISE:

*The mid-ending, where Goren reveals who kills the victim, is set in a lavish outdoor wedding.
*The real ending leads to a cliffhanger.
*The title, Duplicity means deception, double-dealing. Almost all the characters have a duplicit side within them.
*The biggest twist of the story isn't who done it, but the Internal Affairs' investagation of Goren and Eames' partnership.

I choose to be Agent Fields and Jack McCoy.

I can take-

Sabrina Cambridge

Elli Pierceson

and Rodgers if need be. Since Sabrina dies.

See above post, "Independance Day."

Is that a resume or an advertisment?

Both

The surprise = No. Just do not go there. It's done to death. The point of that is it only appears every once in a while. It happens WAY too often in fanfic and has to be perfectly executed in order for it have an impact rather than just be a lame plot device. And the reason WHY it's there is even more sketchy. I really think it would deter from the main plot rather than help it.

Why are G/E being investigated?

also how would she be a witness if she is still wanted?

Anything is possible but you gotta know who to present it to. I have a wonderful storyline for a love interest for Bobby but I haven't gotten any reponses to the idea. It is very romantic, yet not mushy for the true fans. It really deals with a lot of emotions that we need to see that we haven't yet seen through the years.

Well seems right now we don't have enough writers, so not sure if its going to happen. Really we need a story with fewer characters I think.

Maybe a story with

Goren
Eames
maybe two witnesses,
Two suspects
and a Victim
Ross
Rodgers
I know we would have to have maybe another detective talk on the scene, but CSU info could be given through rodgers or through reports. I think to make this work, the less characters the better.

We need the person who/ controls the flow of the scene, that would be the person who develops the story and puts it all together, they could also write for two characters

another person to beta, the final draft who could write for two characters

another writer two maybe three characters (if one is a minor character)

another one two maybe three ( if one is a minor)

so far we have



Janx- Goren can you do someone else?

Tenn fan- Ross anyone else?

Fancymom -maybe witnesses

Jryan- suspects-Victim or Rodgers

We need Eames

I can do secondary characters. The kind they talk to once and then never see again.

I have to agree that for our first attempt, fewer characters and a very straightforward plotline are our best bets.

I could probably handle a secondary character or two, however, I don't feel I can write Eames and do it correctly.

The fewer the better for this attempt--the main thing I think is our main editor, who weaves all these together into one story.

so we need another story with fewer characters. Anyone have a pitch!

I can make another pitch and this time I will shorten the characters to only Goren, Eames, Ross, Rodgers, one victim, two witnesses, and one suspect.

I been studying and watching Eames a lot, so I think I can write for her--BTW she's one of my favorites.

I volunteer to help eat tacos and cheesecake, since I have no fanfic in me right now.

Did we ever get an editor to help pull all this together???

Nope.
