That's a good idea. I'll be having some "out-of-place" stories too, to explain
the past, some of them will be told by a different character (Daphne) and it
will not be immediately clear what it has to do with the present... but
eventually, it'll all fall in place.

Oooooh... can't wait!!

Hmmm.... this is probably the easiest to do... and the clearest... but also
the most boring. ;-)

Well, I think if we add "stories", then each member will have their stories
listed on their pages anyway... no?

This sounds interesting... how would you connect that to the story, though?
When you click on the headline, you get the story?
This sounds like what Stephen and others are doing on "Jain's Guide"... but we
don't tell stories that way... (i.e. from a neutral, third-person POV)

Sounds great, but - do we *have* that many stories? I can only hope for a time
at which we'll have a story published every week... but meanwhile...?

This, definitely. I'll hafta ask Pawel and James if we can publish their
stories (I assume we can... but better to ask), and John - do I have your
consent?
I think that I can put up a "story of the week" for now... with four stories,
that'll be enough to last a month. I won't be here after that, but hopefully
someone can fill in for me? (That's why I did a separate account, so that I
can pass it along if needed).

No rules at all. James' story doesn't have any pics!

Oh, don't worry about it. Like I said, anything qualifies. We're here for the
fun, aren't we?
