Yeah, I can definitely see where you're coming from Pav. I'm really interested in story arcs, the big overall picture and writing threads as though they were chapters in a book. These ideas might encourage some others to think along similar lines, helping them develop their characters in greater detail and giving them more direction and goals.

There's also a probability people write for longer and enjoy their time more if they have writing partners or a group to interact with, especially if they're travelling the unfolding road of a grand epic.
