Starting Out

Hi! If you're just reading this now, it shows that I've sent you the proper URL and everything is going just spiffy.

We should probably start out thinking about what we want to write and the general rules for writing it. What do you think?

I love the idea of basically posting stuff back and forth, like a kind of public email. To that end, and having given it about a second and a half's worth of thought, I would like to make the first rule: post nothing that you wouldn't want anyone to read. Be it fiction, fact or science (a mixture of both, according to the Creationists), we should feel comfortable with anyone reading our adventures. Excessive... well, WHATEVER... should be viewed as a no-no, at least until we get more comfortable with being literary exhibitionists.

We might also experiment with one post being in italic or bold while the other comes in a more ordinary flavor. We can rocks-paper-scizzors for which does which, unless you think it's more fun NOT to see. I suggest emphasis comes in the form of CAPS, and that we use quotes or non-quotes consistently, meaning that if we don't use the specific format of "quotes", we should agree on what form dialogue will take.

Boy, do I have a lot of thoughts for having no thoughts at all.

Lovely. -- Matt
