Discussion of Rose's character-walkthroughs

[Hodgepodge]

I'd like to get some help with a large project I have in mind. You know how we've got The Who's Who Guide to Lost (http://www.losttv-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=197559#post197559) thread? Its a thread that goes into some detail of the characters of the series. Well, what I'd like to do is expound on these little details.

Have you ever heard of a character-walkthrough? I've only seen one, and it wasn't complete. Here's a link (http://www.losttv-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5511)to the one I'm talking about. It's on Locke, and was started way back in S1. But, as I said, was never finished. I'd like for each major character to have a completed season 2 walkthrough. Starting from, Man of Science, Man of Faith to Live Together, Die Alone. Now some of you may say, shouldn't there be a season 1 walkthrough? Yes there should! But I figured since we're going through the summer rerun season anyway, it would be easier to do S2.

Now here's where you come in! I'd like to get 5 or 6 member-teams for each character to put these together. You'd meet via PMs and come up with a format and content. It doesn't have to be like the link. It could be in narative form as an example. Once completed, they'll be stickied in the individual forums on the Cast and Characters Discussion (http://www.losttv-forum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=16) board. Now, if your team wants to put together a S1 walkthrough as well, you'd definitely get a job well done from me. :Cheers:

Just post in this thread which character-team you'd like to be on. And yes, you can be on more than one. :) Another point! Lets try and avoid a lot of, 'Sawyer took his shirt off again in this episode.' Or, 'Jack started crying again.' Or worse yet! 'Locke was his usual boobalious self again.' Also, there's no real time limit. Although, I'd like to have them stickied a month or so before S3 begins. So, what character are you going to sign up for? :)

I'll take care of Rose's season2 walkthrough.

[Hodgepodge]

I'll take care of Rose's season2 walkthrough.OK, I said I wasn't going to :cry:. Thanks CS!

[Hodgepodge]

CS, the picture adds such a touch. And the info is complete. You doted every "i" and crossed every "t". Left in your hands, the world would be a beautiful place. OK, I said I wasn't going to :cry:

Thanks so much! :wave2:

[azteclady]

Here, Hodge *passing tissue*

CS, hat off to you--incredible work you've been doing with these! :thankyous

[Brian]

Damn CS1, you da man (in netspeak of course)! Thank you! Great job! :)

[ISIS]

Nice job you guys. I have a question. On what episode can I find where Rose's doctor tells her that her treatment didn't work? I'm sure I saw this.

[Hodgepodge]

ISIS, I'm going to move this post/question to Rose's walkthrough "discussion" thread. I'll be back to try an answer your question later.

[ISIS]

Thanx Hodge you're the bestest.

[Hodgepodge]

No problem ISIS! :)

To be honest, I'd forgotten about providing you an answer. Sorry! But that episode was S2E19/S.O.S. " I've been in remission for the last couple of years. But now it's back and this time it's not going away. My doctor says I have about a year -- maybe a little longer."

I'm please to say that Rose's season 1 walkthough has finally been posted. I'm working on the computer without spellcheck at the moment, so if you see any typos or other errors, please let me know.

Hmmm, I wonder who could help me out with a pic? Hmmm.....

[clayseason1]

Hmmmm....?

I am so your worshipful slave. :worshippy
Thank you!!!
*copies and runs to paste*

[clayseason1]

lol -- you're fast!

[RoseArienh]

Fast? It didn't take long for that picture to appear. :)

[Hodgepodge]

I just finished reading it RoseArienh. It's good to read your work again. You've been sorely missed. :cry:

That looks great, and these walkthroughs really give you a fresh insight into the characters. I am still plodding on with Sawyer. What can I say - its a labour of love !

[ozanna]

Hodge (trying to look dignified !) I've actually posted up to CM, but a slight technical hitch occurred. Things tend to either disappear or multiply with me, this time its multiplied, but that will be rectifed ! (Soon as my son comes home !) The old dog is a bit slow to learn. Sorry ! Its just as well there are no graphics involved, and you can take that statement any way you like !

OK, fixed.

[Hodgepodge]

It's time once again to beat the bushes for interest in writing character walkthroughs. If you are writing a walkthrough for a character and would like to continue, please let me know. I am quite sure no one is slower than I am, so if you were working on one and are way behind, please don't even think about being embarrassed. I do have some folks that are interested in writing, but I don't want to step on the toes of any of our established authors.

Let me know by posting in this thread if you are working on a walkthrough for the character in this sub forum. And if you're not, but would like to, let me know her also. If we haven't heard from an original author in say, a week, then whoever is interested may have the honor. ;) This is on a first-come, first-served basis, so make sure to stake your claim early.

There have been a few questions about how the character walkthroughs should be formatted. In order for them to serve their intended purpose as a reference for character actions, we will be maintaining certain standards for all walkthroughs.

1. The walkthroughs should be written in the third person.

2. The walkthroughs should be written by episode, in order of when the episodes aired. For a few of the characters, another format may be appropriate, but we will still need the text to appear under an episode title. Check with me first if you have a question on "your" character(s).

3. When posting, please "unclick" the box that says "show your signature." Or be like me, forget to do it, go back and edit in advanced mode and unclick it then. :D The absence of signatures will give the walkthroughs a much more professional look.

If you are new at writing walkthroughs and would to see examples, go to almost any character forum, look at the stickied threads at the top for the walkthrough, and read a few by different people. Our styles are different, but the basic outlines are the same.

You may add pictures and dialog copied from transcripts. Sometimes it just doesn't make sense to rewrite dialog when the transcript would better serve the purpose.

There has been some interest among some of our writers to write the walkthrough "through the eyes of the character." This will not work for the purpose of the walkthrough. However, it is still an intriguing idea, and if anyone would like to do this in addition to or instead of a walkthrough, I'm all for it. It's not high on my list of priorities, but I'm all for the creative process.

Don't hesitate to ask questions, either in a thread, or by PM. And please, be assured that your hard work is appreciated very much. :)

I will be picking up Rose's walk-thru. ETA TBD
