me, myself and I.

will there be a problem if I use a gundam/mecha series with your typical "ordinary" boy who becomes a pilot by chance and SAVES THE WORLD!!? with the right amount of emo and introspective moments <.< >.>
Shinji - "what's wrong with running away from reality if it sucks?"
Athrun Zala - "NIIICOLLAAAAAIIIIIIIIII!!!"

I still maintain the drag queen/transvestite idea would have worked

Go with the transvestite idea. We already have a serial killer prostitute anyway.

When did I say she was a prostitute? She's just fairly easy, s'all.

Oops

Going over your PM though, I realized there was one thing I didn't discern, and I will now, though I'm sure most of you understand this already: The different Jimmys in this story are not the same character. They represent the same character, but they all have their life stories. In other words, if Jimmy A's friend gets killed, there is no reason for Jimmy B to get sad, because they are different people who live in different worlds and have no direct connection. The aim of this MEP is not to showcase not one story, but multiple stories in parallel featuring the same character, in a spiritual sense.

If that confused anyone, let me know.

If you're concerned about my overly logical, stepwise style of narrative progression, you needn't be, while I have my first ever plan (of sorts) I still expect to turn out something incpomrehensible.

PS. I'm stunned that you can think up such pertinent, witty and erudite QCs in... ooh, well under six months. You didn't even mention your ass. For shame.

Oh great. Blabbler's "Wise advise" is coming back to kill me now.

From where I'm at right now in the world, it's going to be 3am when the meeting commences and I'm not going to be awake. I know one of the peoples to request for an open meeting was me, and I'm sorry for not standing by my word. But thats the way things are. Still I at least think having a portion of members meet together live to discuss will benefit the project.

Thanks.

I can move the meeting to 1PM Eastern. Would that work better for you?

I don't know whether I'll be able to attend or not =/

So Eclipse and I were able to talk for a little bit and here's what we came up with.

Is that the meeting go ahead and commences with the original schedule tomorrow. Because it seems Eclipse and I are the only ones who has a problem with it. And who knows who may or may not be attending. Once the meeting tomorrow is done, Greggus can compile the log together for us to view. And then if the editors have generated a lot of comments from the log, we would then possibly plan a second meeting.

Anyways, we think this plan would go well seeing that the two of us wont be able to attend because of our time restraints. Thanks in advance, and let's get this project rolling.

Well, for my own personal reasons, the meeting is moved to 2-4 Eastern Time. Come armed.
