Out Of Bounds posting question.

[icarus]

Hi guys, I just asked rike_tikki_tavi this, but I'd throw the floor open.

I'm going strong on Out Of Bounds (knock wood, crosses fingers, and basically pulls out every superstition against obstacles known to man, up to and including a Tibetan fire puja).

I could start posting a scene every day or so. It would make sense, given how the music needs to posted with the scenes. Or I could wait until I hit the next major, um, crux of the story, and post a large piece.

What do you think?

I am insanely drawn to the soccer one; y'see, I've spent most of my life playing football (not soccer, because when I write it it'll be McKay bitching about silly Americanisms because it's global and he's of Scottish heritage... I mean, um, if I happen to get the one I request) and whenever I see someone get a term wrong it drives me mental. So I saw that request and thought I may as well give it a go as it's the one thing I know inside out.

I'm not a great writer, or even a mediocre one, but at least this way I get it halfway right by knowing the subject matter even if I can't pin down the character voices

That sounds like fun. I threw in a prompt of my own (http://community.livejournal.com/anotheratlantis/943.html?thread=21679#t21679), though if I sign up -- shoot me.

Anyone who's seen enough James Bond movies could pull it off.

By the way, I think you writing a soccer football fic is a brilliant idea. It makes all the difference to have your research in place. Go, you.

I've spent the last week coding new football skins into our newspapers database for the new release, so it's been on my mind constantly - I had a fit of hysterics when looking at Raith Rovers (an obscure Scottish team)... their sponsors are coolface.

You just can't make that kind of shit up.

I am totally putting them in my story

their sponsors are coolface

Oh, let me in on the joke *sproing, sproing*: who's coolface?

I think they are a refrigeration company; but it was just the idea of a (w)raith team, with coolface written on their shirts - it cracked me up completely.

I'm starting to think that was caffeine induced now though...
