Someone went WAY overboard on his chapter. It's more pages of backstory than there are combined pages of, uh, frontstory.
Basically it is way more convoluted than I know what to do with.

You could just ignore as much of that as you'd like and start your own story-arc.
Or I guess I could send a summarized version of that chapter in your direction?

Kayo guys, it looks like the story is complete (Minus the final chapter).
Everybody should be working on their chapters.
The deadline is (for now) Saturday July 19th, giving everybody a good few weeks to work on this thing.
As I mentioned previously, feel free to post stuff you may be implementing into your chapters (so that we don't get bored of this and quit), but try not to leak too much of your stories.
Good luck, Collaborators (Contributors?)

Sorry, guys. I'll have to drop out of the collaboration. The computer I usually use to get online crapped out. The one I'm posting from right now uses dialup; it took me almost a half an hour to get here. I have no clue when I'll be able to get online again, or for how long. But you might be looking at another month, or two, without me.
P.S. I now know first-hand just how much Vista sucks.

I'm pretty hungry for some status reports from you guys.
How are your chapters going?
There's about three good weeks left until deadline.

I apologize ahead of time, but I am going to formerly drop out of the contest. Whoever had Chapter 4, if you wanted to sum up my story to help it make the series make sense, that would be great.
At best I might make Chapter3 the comic to help make the story make sense. But as of right this minute I know I won't have time for a contest game this month.
Sorry Twin.

That is a little disappointing.
I can't say that I didn't imagine something like this happening, so I'm prepared to serve a proper punishment:
I'm going to make an embarrassing rendition of Chapter 3 and credit for the storyline will be given to you (As contest host, I figure I've got the right to do this sort of thing).
However, if you could make a comic, that would be fantastic.

Well, I mean, you could waste your time doing that, or you could focus on making your chapter better.
My comic will definitely wrap up my entire chapter and I'll actually take the time to colorize it. So that way I'm not getting THAT lazy. Colorizing a comic is a pain in the butt, so hopefully that's sorta a fair trade off.

This actually sounds like a pretty nifty idea for a punishment. :P
I know I said that I would have this chapter done by the deadline, but now I'm not so sure. I've got Bloodlust almost finished, I got a website to work on, a Doom mod to make, and of course, work! I will try hard to get this finished in three weeks but if not, would it be possible for a small extension?
All I have so far is a unfinished portrait for Gunn and the soundtrack. :/p

As I said before, I would give extra time just in case.
I'm just going to wait until it's closer to the deadline before giving the extra time boost.
And good luck with everything else in your life.
Sounds like this month is going to be busy.

All right, it sounds like an extension is going to be necessary.
However, to prevent possible procrastination, I'd like people to accomplish as much as necessary by the current deadline.
Once the deadline is reached, I'll see how much time will be appropriate.
Remember two years ago? Chapters were ideally completed in a week!
Now, to spark some friendly competition (while checking up on you guys), I declare Sharing-session One!
What does Fruntz look like?
Surely, by now, you would have created a graphical representation of the main character, right?
