We should write a chapter completely in latin :D Although terms like Antimatter-injectors might throw a monkey wrench in that plan :lol:

Wow. You guys really put some thought into all this. Me, I just went online, searched "latin phrases" and picked a motto. 8)

I think it would translate as antimateriae interpositum...

Maybe a two-language print (screen display), in which one column will have the English version and the other the Latin version.

As I (and probably some others) definitely DON'T have too much free time, I suggest we can write in English and demand ASSO to translate into Latin... :mrgreen:

IDK... if you really wanted a latin version, I suppose it could be done but... why?

One of my (certainly annoying) status reports:

1, Semper Fi by Kotik, posted
2, In Extremis by Distracted , posted
3, Igni Ferroque by aadarshinah, posted
4, Horror Gelus, by Enerdhil, submitted as of 30.7.10
5, Negotium Periculosum by Ginamr, in the works
6, tba by panyasan
7, tba by Lady Rainbow

I suppose now that chapter 5 is in the works, we should start worrying about who will do chapter 8. Given that we earlier agreed that it didn't have to be the same order as before and that, so long as the author hadn't written one of the last three chapters, that means that Kotik, Distracted, Enerdhil, and myself are eligible to write chapter 8. Start thinking about it...

I think as long as there is consent, the easiest thing is to run in the same order as we started it. I'm certainly to do #8

10, tba by aadarshinah, confirmed
11, tba by Enerdhil

You can put me down for confirmed as long as we keep up this pace. I've got three weeks before all heck breaks loose at work.

Then so far we have

8, tba by by Kotik, confirmed
9, tba by Distracted , confirmed
10, tba by aadarshinah, confirmed
11, tba by Enerdhil, confirmed
12, tba by Ginamr, confirmed
13, tba by panyasan
14, tba by Lady Rainbow

But I agree with distracted - we've gotta keep up the pace, if at all possible. One of my classmates has managed to talk me into signing up with him for a Miami-Houston-Sacramento-Anchorage freight run and, once everything gets set up with that, I don't know what my free time/internet access might be like.

You should also consider that panyasam appears to be unavailable until mid August. Maybe it would better to check if Lady Rainbow can change order with him to keep the initial round on pace.

As for the second round, we can maybe left somewhat open (on the discretion of the author) to increase slightly the length of the chapter.
