Also, it's good to try and make mental notes of things while writing. Group writing is a double edged blade. Other writers are able to add concepts and ideas. This means that you have to keep a basic outline of things in your head. For instance, Grimm added to CJ's concept of his character not only working with her, but they were also married. I added that my character and CJ's might have had a relationship beyond the 'apprenticeship' he offered her and Seth as well as animosity. Now Harley's added animosity between our four characters and Knut's, who also had a little aggressive run in with Vivian, as well as a sexual relationship with Seth and Aaron (if you add one with Vivian, you'll get the Triple Crown and a hearty 'thank you' from the overactive imaginations of our male poster). We're going to need a diagram before too long. We've already made out a pretty loaded timeline before even getting into the story.
Ok, let's see if we can hammer down an approximate time-table from what's been mentioned:
Vivian has just got out of jail after two years. That puts her being arrest about two to three years ago, depending on the length of the trial. Also, Seth abandoned her at the scene ( )
Prior to her going to jail, she shot at Sam. Whether that was the last job that got her busted or before then, we don't know.
Vivian and Seth were married, but then divorced (while she was in prison?).
Aaron had a possible fling with Vivian and Leigh as well as ran a crew with them and Seth. Something went wrong, and Aaron got left behind on the last job they pulled together. (I personally see this happening a least a couple of years before Vivian went to jail. But that can stretch even longer depending upon the age of Vivian.) Aaron's worked solo since.
Jason, Baird, and Chris have all worked with Vivian and Seth before. Baird and Jason each have spent time working for the government (which one? ) prior to becoming criminals.
Rob is gay.
Pretty damn good work for just two pages. Gives us a lot to work with and expound upon. We've already got the character dynamics established for some. It's got legs, and we seem to have enough people and imagination already invested in this to keep it running. Kudos to everyone.
