I've been thinking of creating a third character for a while now, but I did't really come up with anything I liked. But now that I'm back in Germany, I start to really miss speaking English and I'd be a shame if I loose the skills I have, right?
So all I'm searching for is one or some people that would be willing to create a story, fully in English. You don't have to be crazy-good in English, I guess if you are able to understand and communicate in text, you wouldn't have to worry. And of course, your English would improve and I/we (if there are others) can help you if you want, too. I myslef have been speaking English for about six years, including the year in Canada and being bilingual here in Germany. Still, I wouldn't say that my language is very complex and complicated but rather easy to understand, which is one of the characteristics of the English language to me too^^
I didn't come up with a great plot yet, and I didn't create a character either because I'm not too worried about any of these, and... I suck at plots. Soooo
you can bring in anything you want and we can discuss it together or in a group :3
However, if nobody feels creative, I always, always, always have ideas when I listen to James Blunt's songs! There are some great lovestorys in there! Or we can just let it flow for a while, kinda get the feel for writing in English.
Just wanted to ask if anybody's interested...
So yeah,
Paula out.
Love you people

I haven't really thought about a character yet, is there anything you wanna do with Lou or just... live the moment and see what happens?
And of course I can read your English! It's really good, don't you worry 'bout anything

I would join your little group, too. I love to post in English. Does anybody know that my first rpg (even before Invidia Fatalis) was completely in English?! But reading your description made me wonder about some things:
Would the play be limited on the English-playing-thread? I don't have anything against playing at other places. But what do you think?
What if story-characters encounter other characters, which aren't involved and so play on German? I think there are maybe users, who don't like to play with even if they may write in German. So if we totally play in English it would be wise to have a group large enough, so we have several options of postingpartners.
Okay, I'll just answer to all of you... at once, I think and I hope that I'll adress all of your concerns!
First: your English is not bad. If people are able to understand you, you got what it takes, right? And you can only become better and we are all here to help you! *grouphug*
Another thing, you could very easily paste your words into Word and then put on English auto-correction. It really helps a lot! That's what I do when I'm writing my story, too.
I don't think it would be a problem if you can't post that often. Since there are six of us now, and we all wanna start off as a group, I think we should agree on a posting order. That way, everybody only has to post once a week or less. We haven't had any plot ideas yet so I guess it also depends on if we wanna stay together in a group or go into groups of three or two after a while.
I wasn't looking for a twice-a-day-thing either, my English is also limited
I personally wanted to create a new character and limit it to English-only. I think it would be very confusing if I start playing in two languages... but that's only me. I would leave it up to you if you wanna play in German with other, go ahead!
Okay, and now to Lisas's questions (see, I left them to the end because I needed to think them over^^)
If you (as the court of highest appeal ) don't have anything if the English ones are invading other places, it would be okay with me too. I don't know, maybe we should have a community vote on that? It could be that others wouldn't want us spamming the other places. But especially since the cliffs seems like a unusual place to be hanging out, I never wanted to limit to that place.
Okay, first I wanted to keep this English-only, but I never thought about what would happen if we meet other characters. You're right, we shouldn't limit the herd to not play with German characters.
I would say, you can either write in German, or write in English but have German dialogue kind of thing? And the other character could completely write in German.text was in English. (I'm writing a story in English and three of my friends are reading it and they seem to understand what's happening. At least so they say...)
I noticed that most of my German friends are able to read English just fine, so I think there wouldn't be any problems even if the
I also have another idea that would apply to this, but it's a plot idea too so I will adress that later.
Uhm... I just realized there was nothing left to say.
So then it's brainstorming for plot ideas!
- Time Travellers
I actually had this idea before, independently, but I realized it would work really well with out group!
Basically, they are... time travellers. (*clap clap* I know just a wonderful description!) Got into some kind of time machiene and now here they are, totally oblivious that they're in a different time now. Haven't worked out any details yet, so we could decide if they know each other, are from the same time&place etc. But it would also explain why we're writing in English, if they're from Britain/Canada/Australia etc of course they would't be very likely to communicate in German. Maybe some can't speak German and therefore aren't able to do German plays anyways? It would be funny tough, if they have to communicate., well... with head & hoofes.
- Ship Wrecked
They were travelling on a ship (COsta Concordia it's name, haha^^), short story: ship sunk, people were rescued but have you ever heard that a bunch of horses were saved by a helicopter? Me neither. So they make it to shore, all of them are exhausted and the collapse on the beach. Maybe they have been spoiled all their life, never say anything like woods? That would also cause some problems, like: "I actually have to go... and find something to eat?"
They could also be of English-speaking descent again, same story as above.
In both versions, we are more or less attached by the hip but also could separate, I guess?
Okay, that's it from me I guess? I hope I answered all questions and if you have any plot ideas, I'd be happy to hear them too!
I'm really glad so many people are interested in this
*edit*
Of course, if you don't want a new character, I guess we could use one or two guide, that they meet after a while of wandering around? You would just need to come up with an explanation, since I don't think 'English' would be commonly spread around wild horses.

I don't think, we need a community poll. It's better posting some good stuff in English, than bullshit in German, isn't it? Of course it's a bit unusual, but... I think those wo don't like the English posts can skip them. And as you can see, a lot of users are excited about your idea. I don't think that posting at other place will cause problems.
The only problem I see is, as I said, playing with uninvolved users. Your ideas about solving this problem are good, but there are some doubts left. However, I think I just think too much about it. In the end, nobody cares and everybody is happy.
I like the idea about the Costa Concordia There are so many supernatural plots and groups, so why not trying to do it normal? Besides I like the idea of the ship. It would explain the language differences. It would also fix into the whole Stillreich story.
Uhm... I don't know, mine is still on English, lol.
So I tried it, type some text, THEN press STRG + A or just mark it all, go to the very bottom where it should say "Deutsch (Deutschland)" and change it to the language of your choice c: That works for LibreOffice, I'm not too sure about Word but it should also be similar in OpenOffice.
I guess we'll wait for feedback from the others, but I'm fine with anything if I get to write in English again
Lisa, I think we don't have to work something out, I guess it's easier if she just sit back and see. When we come to the point where an uninvolved user wants to play with one of ours, we can still decide from our gut feeling, right?

Sure I think there will be several opinions anyway. I've got a notion that the users should choose, if they want too play with our English-speaking characters or not. It's beyond our power to make this decision. If we point at the english-aspect while arranging a new play, the other user still has the chance to decide, if he wants to get into or not. So... why am I worried?
I guess it will take a while anyway for all of us to decide on characters, and as I said earlier I'd like a posting order because otherwise it would be a big mess... So if you're on the end, I think nobody would even notice that you're away
Lisa, that's exactly what I meant. It will all figure it out by itself, eventually
Aww I'm so excited *.*

Wir sind ein Wunder, doch behandeln uns wie ein Produkt. Und sind enttäuscht, wenn jeder nur auf unsre Packung guckt.
I wanted to wait until you guys have found a story to play and then decide wether I can relate to that or not. The ship story sounds very interesting, even though it first reminded me a little bit of our pirate play - but that isn't the matter so it's okay Maybe it would even be funny if one of the english characters would then meet one of the "pirates" and exchange
Well if it's okay, I don't konw if the group will get too big, I would start thinking about an character idea.

Guys, I'm so sorry. I really did abandon this place for the last month, and I'd promise you that I'll never do that again but... I won't lie to you.
I've just been exhausted the last month - well, no. I'm just making excuses. I was just being lazy and didn't visit this place. I'm really sorry.
Fact is, I am still interested but for me, it's hard to concentrate on things. If you still want to play, I'm in, but we might have to take it slow - especially when school really starts to be demanding. Exam period starts next week or so and gnaaaw - I really couldn't say I'm excited for that.
Yep... so this it is. Sorry.

I urgent need to learn English better, so I hope I find some people who plays a game with me (in the best way 2 or 3, but one is also ok)
I can use my actually characters Hinata or Linette, or we can also start with new, real english horses/wolves/dogs.
Its not important for me to play a horse. Dog or wolve is also ok.
As you know I graduated with my A-levels this year and now I REALLY miss my english lessons.
I'm scared that I'll forget what I learned over the last years bit by bit and thatfore I'm pretty determined to participate in this project. (Now I recognize how weird it is to write in English again. After months...)
But I'm scared of having a lack with technical terms as well. Because I never wrote from the point of an animal or maybe I did but can't remember. (I'm thinking of the novel "Animal Farm" written by George Orwell. Maybe I've got a task for a creative writing but yeah.. not sure. O.o)
However. You can't get better without exercising. So, let's practice!
I'm pretty obsessed by the idea of getting Vause here (from "orange is the new black") as an inverted incarnation. That means I would like to create her as a wolf, like I already got Red (from the same series) over here
But Vause wouldn't match with the ship wrecking idea.
Furthermore, I could imagine to get another character in remote future. Probably I should get my writing intervall stable. But yeah just saying that I'm also interested
