Wow, I’ve seen many people doing intro outro and all of that first… Idk how you guys do it but hats off! I prefer to have the chapters first and then get into the messier aka most annoying parts :joy: that way I feel easier

I haven’t added CC yet because I don’t have my menu ready and don’t wanna mess that up.
I usually do it in the beginning because I simply have to copy the template from Dara’s site and make the necessary changes and it was sort of a self satisfaction to see so many lines of code. :rofl: :lol: (That’s probably the stupidest thing I’ve ever said)
I am right now trying to adjust the zoom in such a way that it looks good but guess what? I cannot get the timing correct even after so many tries. :sob: :sob: :sob:
Gotta keep trying till I get it right I guess…

Damn same I do he intro, outro at last, mainly coz I can have a story without intro outro but can’t without the main script and scenes. I tend to add cc at last main reason is that the higher amount of lines your story has the higher amount of internet is used, and I tend to save my internet a lot :sweat_smile:

I have an idea, but I’ll have to wait until this weekend to start writing 'cause the university is going nuts with the homework :pensive:

@NancyM, you have all 8 chapters done and published?!?

2 Likes

Possibly stupid question but…is it supposed to be a short story limited to only having the full 8 episodes published by the deadline or can we continue with as much as we want? And could it be a short story if we wanted it to be?

3 Likes

We can continue the story.

Thank you!

Based on the poll, I think it’s fairly safe to say that if you’re coding chapter 1 or 2, or planning you’re with the herd. Anything above that and you’re way ahead!

4 Likes

Am I “with the herd” if I’ve coded, say, thirty lines in chapter one? :joy:
I have an intro, menu, and FAQ too, but being the crazy perfectionist that I am, I’m redoing those.

I think you’re fine, I’ve restarted my first chapter at least 3 times :sweat_smile: :joy:
Since stupid me decided to restart this morning, I now only have CC and my intro. And again, stupid me decided to make her own menu template thing, so yeah, I think we’re all in the same boat :joy:

Wait- what?!
What about you being on line 2,000-something?

2 Likes

Yeah, I restarted because I didn’t like how I portrayed her personality :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

3 Likes

:sneezing_face: I can’t believe you killed that version of her and brought a replacement in with a different personality

3 Likes

And then I had 200 and something, but I didn’t like the dialogue. And then I restarted this morning because I wanted to start differently.

3 Likes

Technically, she’s the same person, but now she doesn’t have sister or horse. Now she has a dog :joy:

:scream:
So you are a murderer! You killed her sister and her horse
