Project: Flavor

[Magoo!]

-Note: I'll be turning the other thread into something viable. No worries on epic double-threads.

Perhaps this is a better place to do it... *sigh*. Since I am not 400 people, I need your help writing some 'journals', if you will. You can use your imagination and the descriptions already given: Here to come up with your entries. I will pay anyone 500K for every entry that they make as added incentive.

Important caveat:
PM Me your entries! I will post them myself and make slight adjustments in case certain things don't make sense. You will receive credit regardless.

Here is what I need right now are entries along these guidelines, more might come later given proper participation.

Stage 1
(Note, these are just guidelines. Feel free to talk about something else. Missing your family, the cool Manhattan breeze, etc.)

Entries should be in the tone of that,

~Directly after to two weeks after launch

• You just left Manhattan on a mission to explore the stars. You may be gone for an undetermined amount of time. Tone might be Happy: Oh golly, I sure am excited to be off on adventure! Or upset: I know I'm sexy, but why did the government have to 'volunteer' me for their little outing?
  
• Are you excited to be performing a specific job aboard the ship? i.e. Engine room worker, teacher, food-worker, etc
  
• Does your job meet your expectations? Do you enjoy it? (For post-bullet two entries)
  

~Two to six months after launch

• Are you beginning to get tired of empty space? Are you eager to get to your destination star?
  
• Are you getting tired of your job? Does it require you to work with unreasonable factors? i.e. People, hours, etc.
  
• Do you have your eye on a certain someone (after all, this is a ship made for long-term survival)? If who, describe and name them.
  

~Eight months to one year after launch (especially broad category)

• You pass through the Barrier. Describe your feelings and observations.
  
• Having been launched in the wake of another ship, you pass California and bee-line it to the nearest feature in space (see above). Having passed through it a bit, you find yourself in Manchester. Describe your feelings and observations. Are you disappointed at the two snowballs? Excited?
  
• As you were passing through California, you noticed the other ship analyzing Planet LA. Describe your feelings and observations. Are you angry? Jealous? Excited that they might find something? Happy to see signs of other human life?
  
• How's it going with that certain someone?
  

Well, that should cover the first major chunk of the story. Assuming cooperation, we'll move on to stage two later. Now, you can pick any one of the above for your entry, and you can do more than one (just not in one post for the 8 months - 1 year category). Or... Well, see the note above. Now, jobs are as follows (the important ones at least, and everybody must have one, unless you want to be shot and vented as dead weight on a possible multi-decade flight). Parentheses indicate the number of people I want doing the job. Mostly intended as a maximum. A slash indicates however many we want.

~Anything else you might think relevant~

Entries should be started as follows:
Personal Log I-A [Numeral indicating a new topic, letter indicating a relation to a previous numeral]
Day - Month - Year After Settlement
Hour:Minute:Second

Occupation, Name

Thus if I made an entry about a girl the character liked on the ship labeled II-A, and a month later I am on V-A, but I just asked said girl to a trip to the observatory and wanted to make an entry about it, I would label it II-B.

That's it, I think. Good lord, I hope that's it... I'm starting to hate my keyboard from an abundance of attention...

Post questions here about anything. The story, parameters, what a certain job does, whatever.

I look forward to working with you, Disco.
