Okay, so here's the deal. My goal is to construct a fictional narrative strictly through the blog form. I will write at minimum 4 posts a week, unless I'm not getting enough comments (let's say three a post). Each post will be at least 500 words and will take the direction of one suggestion, indicating whose suggestion I am following. The extent to which I follow these suggestions will depend on the suggestions and the flow of the story.
For the first post, of course, I need a little more. I need a name, something to deal with or confront, and a place in which to begin this narrative. Keep in mind that I am somewhat limited by the places I've been myself (as we progress, this will apply to certain actions as well. for example, I'll be able to describe snow-boarding much more ably than I will skiing.). However, if you provide info for me, I may be able to incorporate elements otherwise disparate to me.
Aloha, Sean

Place: Night club, sophisticated, very “de mundo”
Narrative: Summer Romance/First encounters
Name: Dublin
Setting: City of the Dead, Egypt
Situation: Looking for someone who knows something important
name: Kalen
deal with/confront: a missing bus token and no money. it's 20 degrees out

This is the story of Haul, he has just woken up in a place lacking landmarks (there aren't supermarkets, no couches)? Where am I?
Name: Sal
Setting: Rural Oklahoma
Situation: I like the "looking for someone who knows someone important" idea.
Oooh, I should have commented on this one first.
Maybe you can incorporate more later.
Name: Laurence (maybe emasculate to Laurie)
Setting: A morbid life changing encounter on a dirty smelly train or bus. Anything. maybe that old person smell. The smell of death. Bring the smell to life.
Situation: let's make him an existentialist. yet he's caught up in a horrific incident where he needs to make a decision. What's right? What's wrong? Should he even think twice about staying around? Whatever is happening isn't his responsibility. But it intrigues him. Is it death? Or has he fallen in love? With a character? With an idea? With a fantasy? But is he really all that capable?
