... that's it so far. Helpful, I know

That seems rather interesting.
Everyone could partake in this as well and how their team revolves around how HMW began.

Making each piece stand alone, or a small number of writers continuing a storyline through various works, is both a good way to highlight your team and develop artistic skills. Making each portion a small, easily digestable piece also helps with attracting an audience on a message board as people (typically) tend not to have time for massive works (some members of this board being noted exceptions.

Funny. This is how I kind of saw HMW myself. Maybe not transported for that specific reason but maybe they have gotten here in different ways and at different points in time. Makes it a bit easier to understand seeing all the different Primes and the different version of Megatron or the seeker jets in the game.

Burn wrote:The way I see it there's no need to over complicate it.
You lay down the basis, you don't mention any particular teams, you just lay down the frame work and then individual members can build on that frame work and create a story for their own characters.
And if people don't want to use the frame work, that's their perogative too.

Funny how a basic idea Plaything presented to me earlier I was quite enthusiastic for, has developed into a project I no longer have any interest in.
