so...

who else has an idea for their part in this thing?

are we going with the tsunami premise?

is this where we should post stuff as we're working on it?

is this really going to happen, or are you guys yanking me again

I think the news approach would be best, so I'll write a few generic articles with little hints in them, add filler to create something more credible. I'll leave the crazier stuff up to you guys to go wild with.

ok, but are we doomed? i mean, are the people who gathered this information gone now, or is that an unnecessary layer of plot for this thing

I think it's something we could hint at. Make sure any articles by the doomed people have their names attached, and we can have a week or so (or however we stagger the dates of the articles) written by different people after the 'disappearance', maybe have a weekly column or something stop updating.

login to the forum at fantastichorror.com, and we'll keep our secret plans over there since they're not all pertinent to the temple of dagon.. lovecraftian horror is totally welcome, but i'm going for a wider focus on horror in general, partly because it won't be easy to find a good supply of original content for which the creators will essentially donate the copyright
