I agree that we shouldn't write for other people, but occasionally a line or two to maintain your flow in what you are currently writing would be OK, and I know that I was wondering how I was going to get back into the story until someone did this to me and put me back in it =) However, what the character does and says is what defines them, and that should be determined solely by the person who is that character, so don't write paragraphs on someone else's character. A line or two, ok. But not much more. Celeste and I were talking in chat the other day, and there are some instances where it would be impractical not to write a lot of two characters' interactions in one post (such as if they are discussing something), And perhaps those posts like that should be discussed by the parties involved to determine how things should work and what should happen, and then one of them make the post.

Sh...........................wow.
I don't log on for the weekend, and look at what I miss.
Rider and Aaed just made any point I would have made. Yes, we should not write much for another character, and in no way should we reveal, or change the status of that Character on our own. The only way is to communicate with the other player, (a term that I use quite loosely).
As far as Godmodding, let's get a true RPG going and cut the crap out of it. HC and maybe even TG should be left as is, since we're not really playing anything. We're just imagining with our keyboards.
So, how about this? We only do what we have permission from the other writer to do.

meh.. only one day for me and I'm amazed, firstly angel, you did certainly not step on my toes
What we are saying here is *points to the "IN FUTURE" in the poll question does not affect TG or HC, simply they were begun in that way and they will certainly go on as they are. On how anybody writes their character stuff is more a matter of style in there I would say.
Just mentioning Characters is certainly not Godmoding =) Maybe we should set up OOC forums for every thread we have as well as just the playing forum, to plan things or talk to others on how someone wants things to work out. =)
Adam, the problem about a real RPG is the problem about rule-sets. I have yet to discover a working one that does not involve dice or other chance-throws. Because I think it would be unfair towards others.
But I meant it, and I still mean it, I do not want to do anything without the others, since this here should be a project for us all. I just took over modding to have the control of the age of our readers/players because some things might not be suitable for their eyes. Anything else should be a joint decision for us all. There can be as meany threads in here as you want to discuss various things.
*phew - sweatdrop* I'm often concerned that things I want to express are not coming out right. If anybody discovers somthing that seems sort of weird, please tell me and I'll do my best and explain
