Hmm it is a bit worrying the fact I can edit other people's comments and all the titles and headers, you might want to fix that....
It does seem a little early to kill Carlo off. Maybe that's just me though. Also, did the officer shoot him in the desert and then drive back for eight hours with a corpse in the back? Also also, if anyone remembers the female character's original name feel free to change it back. I'm fairly certain using a character's full name all the time is silly so I changed it from Denny Crane to Jenny.

Speaking of name changes the dog in Ch1 has changed about 10 times already. Why not call it rover, or fido? Ha.
The dog being stuffed is just too creepy, but the altering names could be made into a plot point... Penguin952 Chapter 2
A short attention span will probably limit my editing to Chapter 2 and I would like to set a good example to children reading by ensuring that Detective Sargent Anderson thinks deeply about his smoking habit.Momento 21:12, 1 February 2007 (CST) Who owns its copyright?
Why not distribute the novel under GFDL, as Wikipedia does? Hyjwei 21:24, 1 February 2007 (CST) Chapter numbers
Currently the chapters start their numbering using the words ("Chapter One," "Chapter Four," etc.) and then switch to using numerals at "Chapter 6." While I at first thought I should change this to be consistent, I now think we should leave it the way it is. Perhaps the words vs. numerals could have some effect on what way the specific chapter is written or what goes on.
(Hell, you could even skip numbers or not bother with one at all (sort of like the current "Interlude.") or give one a name ("Chapter Everything Goes Wrong.")) Matthew 21:28, 1 February 2007 (CST)
As this book grows numerical chapter headings will help navigating. I have changed them.Momento 21:44, 1 February 2007 (CST)
Though I like the idea of adding a chapter 2a and a chapter 2b. We could make it choose your own adventure! Pez
"You think about this suggestion. If you think it's a good idea, turn to page 15. if you think it's a bad idea, turn to page 28." Chapter 8 <<Q: how do you get there? the Welcome page links were lost, and reduced 5 versions of story down to three, again!???--Pabruce 22:31, 9 February 2007 (EST)

The aliens have landed? Alright! Were they sent by the African Ninjas from Space?

plausibility, balance? Someone tell him he's dreamin' Locking
I know this may go against the spirit of the whole endeavour.. but if there's a consensus (no, i don't know how we determine this), perhaps we could 'lock' certain chapters of the book as having been completed.. otherwise, i fear we are going to get nowehere.. and good writing (which there has been) will be forever lost...
this would be a good idea.. perhaps each day a subsequent chapter should be locked.
> ditto! locking an existing chapter will help us really determine where the plot is headed.
Locking sounds good, but I fear it would go against the nature of the experiment, what if you needed to add a bit of detail into a locked chapter for a further chapter to make sense? --Nich.S 00:22, 2 February 2007 (CST) Splitting
I just split the document at ch 7 to ease the loading time --Sunlight 00:06, 2 February 2007 (CST)
I agree that certain sections that are complete and consistent with the storyline, accurate with characters etc, should be saved.
The first chapter almost feels like "A Scanner Darkly", if you know what that means--Ax 23:19, 3 February 2007 (EST)
ummm, Section 1 now runs to more than six chapters...and then there's another chapter 7 in section 2...as if anyone should care about such proliferation. And as for locking changes? Well, what's the point of writing a novel in a wiki if you can't change things? Why not just go back to the idea of a chisel and stone tablets? --Mazzy 23:05, 4 February 2007 (EST)
[edit] Animals and Chapter Seven
Chapter Seven
I took out the cat because we already have two dogs, it had nothing to do with the writing just felt like there were too many animals in such a short space of time. I like the idea of her having a boyfriend and being after Jenny's husband...

[edit] People know not to call them
It seems a bit repetitive to have a character at the beginning of chapter 1 and 2, both of whom others 'know not to call'....--Mazzy 22:20, 4 February 2007 (EST)
[edit] Chapter four
this seems to be a major repeat of earlier material and needs sorting out by someone who's awake! --Mazzy 22:52, 4 February 2007 (EST)
