Background Charicters Used

[Kashin]

Something I have been stressing about while writing is duplicating background ponies with other authors. So I was thinking on compiling a list of all characters and setting their status and was wondering what folks opinions would be on this idea?

Examples:
Ditzy Doo (Core story)
Silver Spoon (Horizons)
Boxxy Brown (Flankorage *pending*)
Sheriff Silverstar (Available)

Great list-idea. How come I didn't think of this? xD

Diamond Tiara is also used; she died in that mine-prison-building thingy where LittlePip has now installed those griffin mercenaries. Y'know, right by Junction something-or-another? I can't remember the name of either place, and it's really frustrating xD

True, I was just trying to provide an example from the main story a side story and one from an unpublished story. The real list would be titanic.

So? It is neccesary to avoid mixups!
You should totaly do it =D
Maybe set up the core story, plus PH and (maybe) Pink Eyes in one large one, then all the sidestories in a smaller one, so that people easily can tell the difference. And maybe a little notification after the ones that are used twice?

Now here are two other important questions:
1. should this be on a google doc (given the fact that I intend to have every backgound charicter in it) or just plopped here as a list?
2. should we have a sub forum (Writer's Kit or some such) where people could get all the lists and others could provide useful tools and tips?

Y'know, a subforum for writers would be a brilliant idea. After all, there seem to be a lot here, if I have understood it correctly. Atleast... Hm, three, not counting myself?
(Not counting myself 'cause I haven't actually written or even extensively planned anything. Yet. )

And, I personally hate google docs, so I would much rather want it here :3

You guys do realize we have a Wiki right?

Yeah, agreed, that would be the best place for lists. A writers forum sounds like a great idea though, anyone else interested?

[Kashin]

Ah, well I'll need to learn how to make Wiki pages then. (sorry I didn't think of it, but the last time I saw the wiki was several months ago and it was practically useless. Its looking relatively good now)

I'm interested in the writers forum O_o!
