I know that there's still more than a week before it happens, but in case we forget or something, I felt it would be a good idea to go ahead and open up this thread. It's hard to believe, but The Three Word Story Revolution Forum is celebrating it's 1 year anniversary. Admin created this forum on July 26 of last year, and since then it's grown considerably (somewhat ). I've got a few different things planned during the countdown to the anniversary. For starters, I've just spent some time making a new background theme - ' 3WSR Anniversary' . It's got some pictures of what makes this forum great, i.e., avatars of us, Thomas pics, etc. Check it out and see what you think! And finally, happy 1 Year Anniversary to the 3WSR Forum!

No way. I know it's been up for a while, but a year already? We've got to do something special for the one year anniversary.

Well, there's your book... (Okay, okay, last time I do that! )

*sigh* I'll try to get at least part of it done by then, maybe.
But seriously, what should we do for the forumversary anni3WSRary forum3WSRary anniversary?

Perhaps a 3WSR Novel? As in, a mini-novel, with only ten stories or so. That would be interesting if we wrote that together.

About what?

Not really sure, I was thinking a snow storm, but that would be better suited for the winter months.

How about multiple stories, featuring characters from across 3WSR that we specialize in, who are involved in a bunch of events that are referenced throughout the stories...
Like if a warehouse exploded at the end of a story, in the next story, a news report would he talking about a recent warehouse explosion, basically, the stories are their own entities with a loosely patched together storyline that will lead to a big event in the final story or something like that

I like Tug's idea. But what would the "big event" be?
|

Another idea would be to write some stories from things that happened a long time ago, i.e. the Red Engine, when Jinty and Pug were working on Sodor, etc.

Maybe a report about something falling toward the island from space, and all these different groups see it as something different entirely to what it actually is, so they all try to gather at its crash site at the very end to claim it...
Like VEC could think it's reinforcements for the Cubii, the LRM could see it as a sign of their revolution succeeding, the Colorfolk want to keep it out of the wrong people's hands, SOM could see it as a weapon, the engines could think it's a fallen star or something, etc.

But there should also be something special about the book, too, so that we can definitively call it the '3WSR Anniversary Novel'.

When doing things about the past, which we currently are working on either the novels planned, isn't exactly as special when you think about it, if we have a story where all the power players and all their craziness come together, I feel it symbolizes exactly what 3WSR is with what goes on in the Game with all these characters

Yeah, I definitely like your idea, it's certainly better than mine.

So who will do which characters? I hope TGC shows up so he can contribute- it's thanks to him we have this forum to celebrate, after all.

Post by Biblically Accurate Angel on Jul 14, 2016 14:25:40 GMT -5
I'll do whichever. You should probably do VEC, Toz, Tug should probably do SOM and LRM, Frank the Colorfolk... maybe I'll do the engines.

Post by Tug on Jul 14, 2016 14:27:36 GMT -5
I think we should go two groups a pop...
I'll take the LRM and SOM
Frank will probably take the Colorfolk and the engines
Toz can handle VEC and probably the ghost lady or whoever else you choose
D-11 can handle the Numbered Diesels and probably some one-offs
If TGC comes back he can do his engines
And maybe we can all pitch in to a story focusing on the writers...

Maybe for the first anniversary, we can work on reconstructing lost arcs. Like, 3WSR: Remastered

Post by Biblically Accurate Angel on Jul 14, 2016 14:31:41 GMT -5
That, or we could have an epilogue that goes something like this:
Frank leaned back in his chair, as he reread the story they had all written. "I still can't believe it's been a whole year," he said. "Yeah," said Toz, "it's amazing. Even more so that it's been almost three years since the original creation of 3WSR." "Time sure flies by..."
WHACK! "That'll teach you not to mess with my characters!" cried Tug. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" said Diesel 11.
Toz and Frank looked at each other and laughed. There was nothing quite like 3WSR...
THE END
Thoughts?

frankthetriviaman I actually think that's a good idea as well. We've been meaning to reconstruct the lost arcs for some time now. Regarding the book, I'll take VEC and maybe Presuisoltians or something. Ghost Lady I don't consider a separate faction, since she's really just the new Woman In Orange post-stupid accident that caused her temporary death.
