here's what we need for a group story: 1- characters 2- locations 3- plot outline 4- theme 5- someone to write it (any length) I will do the locations and post them shortly. Personally, I hope Jasmine decides to write it.  edit: i guess this falls under 'stream of thought' kinda. |

It's gotta have a super villain who has no good reason to be a super villain.
It goes without saying that all his plans must be ridiculously convoluted.
Now to think up an original name...

Theme: Unda the sea. I really have no idea what I'm doing oops... heh heh what I meant was 'moral' or 'social commentary' (sits in the corner with a dunce cap) |

Oh. Wait. So we're writing a poem... And theme is gonna be like... *Snaps* Spontaneous Limerick! When I stare into your eyes, Contained within my demise, Beauty without heart inside, We need somewhere to go hide, Before either of us dies. Limerick - poetry. Limerick - city. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerick_(poetry) |

Maniacal laughter fills the air,
As I sit in a chair peeling a pear,
My plan comes to fruition,
My enemy's demise my sole ambition,
I hope he doesn't kick my derrière.
Again.
I'm bad at poetry. But we've got a super villain whose motive hasn't been adequately explained, so there's that.

With his white kitty 'Peaches' ... all super villains have to have a white kitty to stroke (And that thing that you're thinking Eoin? ... not that). His plot is to destroy all the tea in the world and bring the British empire to its knees (no tea = no empire) ... its fiction so there could still a British Empire ... Ooh, ooh ... it could a steampunk sort of world with armoured airships and ... I might stop here and wait for feedback.

I like the steampunk airship idea, but to distance it from current fair, I'd suggest ridiculously over the top ships, with lots of metal and only a passing mention of how it's done. (no air bags) |

Wait, I've got it. What if his mortal enemy is a clerk or something working for the british government, and the only reason he's trying to bring down the british empire is so the guy'll be out of a job? That's totally insane. Classic pearman. (Also he has a lunatic obsession with fruit.) |

In which we meet the dark lord and all round rotter, bounder and big meanie Arch Lord Wah'tah Pear, surrounded by his minions and henchmen (minions do the day to day running of the diabolical schemes and usually die when the castle/hollowed out volcano/orbiting base etc is blown up by the hero. Henchmen however get the chop much sooner and usually die when attacking a single unarmed hero in a group when the Evil Lord/Criminal Mastermind says "Seize him")
Jasmine Arch Lord Wah'tah Pear sat on his throne of skulls, his head resting on a gauntleted fist in a deeply contemplative mood. Lightning flashed and the chamber rumbled with a deep resonance, throwing the hunched figure and throne into sharp relief. Lord Pear stood and glared at the his assembled minions, there was another flash of lightning and thunder rumbled ominously around the chamber again, echoing through the vaulted ceilings like the harbinger of doom. "Is that really necessary ... every damn time?" he asked in an exasperated voice. "Sorry Master" said a minion, stepping away from the sound effects console "I thought it added a touch of menace to the proceedings ... you know, a bit of evil class like." "Look" he said kneading his forehead "I was just going to the damn privy." "Sorry your lordship" said the minion "just trying to give the effect of a real dark lord" he added sulkily. "Right, fine ... I'm off to the kitchen to get a sandwich" he whirled suddenly and jabbed a finger at the special effects minion who jerked his finger back from the console guiltily "And that does not ... and let me make this perfectly clear ... does not require any thunder .. lightning ... howling of wolves ... or eldritch moons passing behind clouds ... got it?" His eyes bulged slightly as his gaze swept over the assembled henchmen. They were all looking down, some scuffed the ground with their toes. "Fine!" The Dark lord turned on his heel and stalked off toward the kitchen "Keh ... what a shower " he muttered to himself "you just can't get good minions these days." This was just a bit of character development, so over to you boys ...

Awesome.
Now to turn that prose into poetry... Also, I think he'd be living in a more, tropical setting. With like, just too much fruit. Also, instead of a sandwich, I think he'd be eating a melon or something. Or maybe he'd be doing other things with it... Like I said- lunatic obsession. In fact-
These henchmen certainly don't suffer from scurvy.
Although their stomachs still find reason to protest.
They dare no complaint, nor gripe over grapes.
They know their master has only one request-
LOVE THE FRUIT, LEST YE REQUIRE DEATH.
I'm still terrible at poetry. Although I do enjoy the serendipity of my lame attempt at a rhyme turning into the defining factor of the character's personality.

I think we should do a mash of poetry and prose...
perhaps Jassy's bad guy has an obsession with fruity poetry?
(nice work Jass)
