I see now, that's a good idea, then. It does make me wonder why the author did that. You have a point there.

I don't really quite know when we're going to start. I don't want to get too far into it before everyone who knew they were going to join in joins, but I don't want to wait too long for them either. I'm already working on the first post (just lost half of it because my computer crashed though), and I think its safe to say that since the first few posts aren't going to depend upon each other, and all its going to be is character introduction, everyone can start working on theirs. Just remember--the bus can't stop in your post. Take the time to show your character's view on the trip.

How about I give everyone three or four days after I finish my post, and then we start?

As a side note, after everyone puts up their initial post, I'll have a post about getting off the bus, and how the trip progresses, and the each of us will describe our death through their own eyes.

After that we'll jump 10 years into the future.
