As for me, I'm out of the group stories, but I'm open to collaborations with other writers on a one-on-one basis. This latest gamble of mine has served to show me how different our outlooks are on Vanguard itself and the stories. Mark it up to irreconcilable differences or whatever. I was a lot more upset than I let on in my posts here, but I'm trying to look at this as an opportunity to concentrate less on collaborative stories personally and to instead concentrate on really turning this board into a "Writer's Block".
I haven't abandoned Rama Avatar, BTW. Hopefully he'll return in his own series or perhaps in a series written in collaboration with Euro set in a different universe. If anyone is interested in writing anything with my characters set in the past, you have my permission. And if anyone's interested in working in collaboration with me on a story, I'm open to that. If any ideas for such come to me for just such a story, I'll contact one of you for that, as well.
Meanwhile, I'll be focusing most of my moderating efforts here by giving feedback to stories and writing stories of my own. The best of luck to all of you in both your writing and your own lives.
