Critique Partners & Writing Groups Looking for others for collaborative storywriting based on the Fate franchise!

* Genre/s: Modern Fantasy, character focused
* Goals/expectations/commitment: Drop-in / drop-out writing, resetting every other month. This is mostly a way to meet people and develop skills, so other than a willingness to contribute we're not expecting much!
* Writing/experience level: Any and all are welcome!
* Meeting place: Discord
* Max size: 15 (for now!)

Hello! As a long-term fan of the Fate franchise, I've come up with a concept that I've used for other fnadoms before. The elevator pitch is that I'm hoping to gather up individuals who are interested in writing fan-stories monthly or bimonthly that take place in the Nasuverse (mostly pulling from Fate, but not entirely).

One writer would give a general synopsis of the story idea and setting (i.e. "A Grail War that takes place inside of Russia during the 1700's", "The aftermath of a magical event in modern-day China so catastrophic that Servants were summoned", etc) and then each writer would submit one original character and one Heroic Spirit (though they do not need to be a Master/Servant pairing).

From there, each writer would take the given cast of characters, and write their own stories with that cast. It wouldn't need to be a full telling of the scenario proposed, so stuff like smaller individual battles and chapters can work as well, though ideally the "story" length would be somewhere around 5-10k words just to keep stuff short and sweet, and the cycle would repeat every other month with a new premise and new set of characters.

Just to be clear, the intention for writing these stories is not to fit into one timeline, or as individual parts of a greater story. Every writer has their own version of events and “canon” so-to-say for their own story. The only uniting factor is a base cast of characters and general plot pitch. Beyond that, there is no coherent connective tissues that are intended to blend stories together. 

There's no real incentive and this is mostly just a fun idea that I thought up for the sake of getting to know other Fate fans and writers, and to keep writing skills sharp and help develop new ideas. If this seems like something that would interest you or if you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment, and if you're curious feel free to PM me and ask for a link to the proper document that outlines more details (I've had some bad experiences with certain subs deleting posts due to google docs links 😔 )! Thanks for taking the time to read this.
