[spoilers] Ruth's Diary

[almh]

No worries, we'll all be fine

I'm going to upload all the information from the Confidential Files and save it as an attachment so that you can access it.

The private area would be good. We could do it on Spooksforum by PMing but it isn't the easiest system to use. Email would be good, or messenger. The problem with email is that with every new point a new email would have to go round to everyone, so if two people had a conversation about it via email whilst the others were busy then the two busy ones would end up with a ton of conversations to read.

Just had a brainwave - what about googledocs? We could set it up so only we could access the files for Ruth's Diary, and it would mean an easy way of sharing information. For example, people can upload ideas onto a document, and others can then add their own comments into the document, keeping all the notes and ideas together so it makes more sense. Also any additional material that might be useful could also be uploaded onto there. It does, however, require that everyone has a googlemail account but they are free and easy to access so maybe that's an idea?

I'd recommend re-watching 2 to 5 and even series 8 as well - they'll all be useful in building up Ruth's character, although when writing you have to remember to write for the write 'era' of Ruth (i.e. don't write Ruth's character pre-series 2 as the same Ruth who came back to the Grid in series 8). I'm going to write some notes as well - do you want to share? (This offer is open to anyone else involved too.) That way if we both (or all,) write notes, then we can cross-reference them to make sure that we have everything. Not everyone has to do this, but it helps me to write fanfiction if I can remember everything about a character. Normally I just re-watch an episode, but for this it may just be easier to write it up in note form so it's easier to access.
