Discussion of Richard Alpert's Character Walkthrough

[RoseArienh]

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.

We don't have any of the season walkthroughs for Richard -- I forget what season he first appeared -- we definitely need season 3 and season 4 and if he appeared in season 2 then that one as well.

So we could have as many as three volunteers or three groups of volunteers for this character.

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. :)

If you're still looking for an author for Richard's walkthrough I might be interested.
