Page 1 - I'm planning on drawing some type of Rone-symbol on the blank, left page:
Pages 2 & 3 - Narration switching to first person:
Pages 2 & 3 - Narration switching to first person:
The character is a carry-over from my Project Sketchbook, the antagonist from the VERY loose story in there, known as Rococo Rapscallion there, and so far unnamed here. Since I wanted to use 'Roco', this sets this story back to the early 1800's, industrialization, and around the time quite a few Haitians came to Louisiana (Rococo Revival in the mid 19th century [dates range from 1820-1870] & Haitian Rev in 1804, and while we're at it, New Orleans was founded in 1718).
The next part of the story will be Roco meeting with 2-3 people, who have different views on Olde Rone. I figure after this the next writer will be up -- who can come in with something totally new or decide to write a story based on what the people told Roco about Olde Rone. I left 2 pages blank in the front of the book for a Table of Contents...that's my way to make stand alone stories tie together :p, and people can write from whatever angle/time/POV they want. We can just leave a little area for a title for each following story, then tie that back to the Table on Contents. Whenever I get the book back, I'll continue to write on this story.

the book is here!
I got the Project Fiction book this weekend, so I can get started on the story!
I want us to be able to use the front & back of the pages, so I have some ideas to make the pages less bleedy. Then I'll start the beginning - a set-up story that others can branch off or do something totally different.
I'm imagine this will several short stories/fables/poems/etc., and don't need to all tie in to one another. I may leave a blank page toward the beginning that can be used as a 'table on contents'. If you have a name for your story, we can list it there & credit it to you, or at least the page numbers (or this could be done at the end...).
BTW- I got "The Bible of Illuminated Letters" last week, and feel like Olde Rone's Tales could use a little illumination :). And with that, does anyone know where one could buy special, illumination tools, like glassine, dogtooth agate burnishers, a glass muller or gum ammoniac? ^____^
