The Opera Lively Serial Novel Project

**Amfortas** · May 7th, 2012, 04:36 PM

Anyone available to write Chapter 15?

**Almaviva** · May 8th, 2012, 04:22 PM

I propose a title for our serial novel: Opera Deadly. What do you all think?

**Amfortas** · May 8th, 2012, 05:16 PM

I love it!

But things will get *real* deadly if no one steps up to continue the story. Come on, people. You know you're just itching to write the best chapter yet! Or even a short, modest installment to advance the plot a little further. Whatever you feel up to.

What about you, Alma? You can't let your one, spectacular contribution thus far stand alone. How about getting us moving again?

Hey, I have already contributed today by proposing a neat title!

OK, so I made it official. "Opera Deadly" it is.

**Amfortas** · May 19th, 2012, 09:26 PM

Hey guys . . .

No action on the serial novel in a while. It would be great to pick things up again and continue. I've updated the synopsis; anybody out there willing to give us another chapter? We've come this far--let's not give up now!

I'll write the next chapter!! It will take me a few days becuase I've got a paper to write for school and I want to read the last few chapters again to refresh my memory but I'd love to do it!

I'm taking the one after that!

Good, glad to know that this project is continuing. We need to take it to completion until the end of the novel. Later we may even try to publish it, maybe one of these author-initiated publications using Amazon.com when they put together the print copy if it is ordered, this is cheap and feasible, and we might sell it on the site for people who want to keep a souvenir of this experience.

Wow, this is fantastic! I thought interest had died off; it's so gratifying to see people jump back into the fray!

I'll eagerly look forward to Countess's Chapter 15 and Aksel's Chapter 16!

No no. I've just been busy.

I'm sorry guys but my teachers just piled on a lot of homework, I'll be too busy to write this week. Aksel I hope you don't mind me sort of bumping you up.

I'm sure Aksel won't mind.

Dang. Now that I think of it, I haven't had a good bumping up in the longest time.

*Shudder.*

But yes. I can do it!

**Aksel** · June 18th, 2012, 09:24 PM

OK, so turns out, I can't. This week has been outrageously busy, and I'll be off for three weeks tomorrow. Sorry! I promise I'll write a chapter when I get home.

Oh well, I guess Summer will be slow.
Except that we'll have some rather exciting interviews in July, which I'm not really announcing because if they don't happen (illness, cancellations, etc.) people don't get disappointed.
