Blog Comments?

Just floating an idea for the other Paradise authors. Since much of this story is written through blog posts by the characters, is there any interest in submitting comments I can use? --Buck 03:18, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm guessing some of these comments should be rude, since Serena mentions that she was "outed" by the commentors. After all, the anonymity provided by the Internet does make people more daring and willing to flame, so I guess that it would be logical to have a couple making a lot of insults, sexual innuendo and the such. And also, with the "flame war" that began on the blog, I guess quite some commentors would be interested only in arguing and insulting each other, so I imagine a number of the comments may not even be related to the topic in question.

Not all the comments would be mindless insults, of course, since some of the commentors should be still be, y'know, logical and mature to an extent. So a few might be discussing the topic, some others would be engaged in flaming combat, and others will be trying to break up the fight, right? And the comments don't have to have any part in the storyline, right?

If the above is correct, I can try dropping a bunch of comments for you! If you don't mind? Just give me the green light, and I'll do my very best! Oh, and great story, by the way! It's awesome. :)--Drake 18:15, 10 June 2009

Go ahead and write down your comment ideas here. If I like 'em I'll make them official. :) --Buck 06:56, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Followup: Thinking about it, "canon" comments should add to the story in some way. Otherwise I doubt people will read them. --Buck 20:04, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
