YO-HO-HOO! I'ts yer favorite Dawnbreaker here with another community style story I've been talking about!

If you're new to this story or this concept in common, you're in the right place reading this because I'm always looking for new readers and WRITERS for these stories (Yes, you can become the writer of this story but I'll explain it a bit later in this note)

This is NOT related to the first story so if you're new, you're welcome in that case as well!

And for those who have the idea on how this works and want to join, you might want to skip to the "Practical stuff"

So, let's begin!

So First of all for the new and enthusiastic readers and writers, WHAT IS THIS STORY?

= Basically this is a story where I write ONLY ONE chapter as a prologue and each and every other chapter is written by a DIFFERENT AUTHOR. Interested, no? Well here's some reasons to join in to the fun!

- I've been getting nothing but good feedback from all the writers and reviewers of the first story I made with this concept (HTTYD: Community style!)

- When you join you get to join the work created by the whole community (or at least the community that is reading this anyway) and you get to be a part of it!

- You get free advertising on your own stories as you can post your own author's notes after you chapter (no, I'm not banning those xD)

- You get to watch how different authors continue the story from your chapter, it's especially great if you add some sort of a plot-twister and you get to see how the others use it to their advantage.

- You don't need to be experienced or even too skilled of a writer as I will help you correct all the inconsistencies in your plot, spelling and possibly grammar as well (I'm Finnish so I'm not promising 100% accurate work on that but at least so far people have been happy)

- It doesn't take too much time as the chapter doesn't even need to be that long (recommendation is around 1000-3000 words but I can let that slide a lot :D, more of that in the practical stuff section)

-You get to work with me! YEY! xD

-It's honestly so much fun, just ask any of the previous writers of the first story (based on feedback)

- And also you'll be getting a shoutout in the end of the story (not that it matters after all these other goodies)

- And of course, it's all super easy and you can ask me or any other writer of the story help at any moment. (For example, having trouble with a poem the last author wrote on the previous chap, ASK HIM/HER!)

...

Convinced already? Want to give it a shot? Just PM me if you want to join or ask anything but remember to read the practical stuff first.

PRACTICAL STUFF!

1) Chapter length can vary a lot and I'll let it slide quite a bit but I would still like to request that all the chapter would be AT LEAST 700 words long, also the maximum amount of words is unlimited BUT it would be good if it stayed under 5000 words

2) Time for each author to write the chapter is AT MAX 2 WEEKS But the recommended time I would like to have each chapter is ONE WEEK. If you do not manage to write the chapter within 2 weeks, you will be moved to the end of the waiting line. If you PM me and tell me you're going to take just a few extra days, we can discuss that. Also if you think you won't be able to write a chapter withing the given time or just don't feel like writing at the moment, PM me in that case as well.

3) You can call dibs on a chapter number and I'll put your name up in the list on the corresponding chapter

4) When it's your turn to write, I'll PM you so don't worry about missing your turn by accident (unless you don't open your email ofc)

5) Once your chapter is complete, you can send it to me via docX or PM (you can use other methods as well but I'm not saying I can use them all myself)

6) After I've read the chapter, I will send you my feedback on it and any suggestions of change I have.

7) You can't write any random stuff that doesn't fit in the story at all. Humor is always good of course but nothing like: "Then it started raining fiery frogs and everyone died"

8) You CAN add OC's to the story but they should almost always play a side role or not have a deep background so it'll be easier for the other authors to adapt him/her to the story and add pieces to his personality a bit by bit. (A good example are all the OC's in the previous story)

9) Adding important items, creating stories within the story and adding mysteries like strange poems IS ALLOWED, but you might have to be prepared to explain them to other authors after you

10) And of course, you can sign up for a chapter by PM'ing me or through a review but remember that writing a chapter requires that you have an account on Fanfiction or otherwise I can't reply back to you.

SO! If you're feeling interested, send me a PM! It would be a really nice Birthday present for me as MY B-day is coming up this Friday on the 5th!

The prologue should be up within a week of this Rules Chapter.

The genre will be decided by you guys but I'll probably start it of with something like a drama/action or something... dunno, you'll see then

And yeah, you can sign in to this story AT ANY TIME so if you're not completely sure, read a few chapters first (granted that we get those few chapters first, we can't have EVERYONE be uncertain xD )
