Pelerins, visiteurs, bienvenue - a curtain raiser

Welcome pilgrims and visitors.

Willie can't keep quiet.

SO, here we have a little summary of the story as we know it so far:

A handful of writers will attempt to create a screenplay on this site. We try to identify ourselves here, but don't always manage to. Our roles change and are subject to even more change, at a moment's notice. We like it that way. The plot is still evolving, but is likely to concern a handful of online friends who become loyal to each other through their membership in a blog- community. Like all people online, they will occasionally admit or be forced to reveal some ironic disparity between their online lives and their other lives. Contrary to some cliche's, most of their misrepresentation will be slight, harmless, and born of modesty, not self-promotion.

After the characters are introduced, including the "character" of the blog community itself, we see a little development and witness live before our eyes the bonding process, the tender moments of revelation, and the occasional joke. Also some really cool fantasy and dream sequences.

THEN, flash, a disruption occurs and a few of the more intrepid bloggistos make their way, alone and in pairs, to a central meeting point, where they have a really nice time. They mistake identities, they do road/buddy picture things, they recombine, they dine and they possibly recline. And then they go back to their own lives.


The two big themes will be the loyalty of these friends, despite their limited acquaintance, and the comic consequences of web anonymity. Or so I believe.

In the posts below, you can find false starts, bad ideas, and the germ of a collaborative effort. As things progress, much of what is here will become interesting footnotes. The ore from which our jewelry will be made is full of dross, but also the shiny stuff.
