dear god no I haven't written a poem since high school, let's not get me going there! i think a lit exchange could be great fun but would be seriously hard. I mean... when I was able to get going writing I'd knock out 30-40 page short stories, front and back with crammed writing to everyone else's 5 or 10. So you have someone who writes like that mixed in with say a haiku writer. How can you equate or even try to dictate style or length? Did the poet put any less effort into distilling it down to say 7 or 20 perfect words vs the guy who wrote a novella? Well, I guess the comparison is like saying pixel artist to freehander in one way. No one form is "above" the other. hmmm.
But I'm not sure I could be comfortable seeing someone else write out my characters. There's soooo much more leeway with a visual interpretation to a literary one.
OK I bounced all over the place on that one lol!
TAC Exchanges - what do YOU want to see?
So I've been wracking my brains trying to come up with another exchange to do after we do the Mafia (what's that, - /shameful plug off).
Lately we've been changing the dynamics of our exchanges so they'll be a little more unique than SMMO which is where a lot of us came from. I've been incorporating RP'ing along with our art - usually providing a premise for people to base their characters off of instead of a particular say... seasonal theme.
So I'd really like to here what everyone likes seeing, wants to see, thinks is cool about our exchanges. Whatever you what to see more of or what you enjoyed doing in the past. Please feel free to post your thoughts, comments, suggestions... Also there's a poll cuz it's neat. =D

I have really enjoyed the exchanges here at TAC...and even tho it scared my socks off at first, I loved the combination of doing artwork with writing the story of your character. Very challenging!
Also, I felt like it gave me the opportunity to create something special for my exchange person instead of just another portrait of their gaming character. (Not that those aren't nice, too!)
I like all the ideas that have been mentioned for the future...I'm not creative enough to come up with anything to add, lol.

I've only been in one exchange and have to say it was fun (especially juggling around schoolwork :D). I like the mix of RP and artwork. I always get the images in my head when I RP or write a story and those particular scenes have to come out. Even with playing a couple MMORPG's here too, I know that character gen's in there are okay but when you play a character, you get a specific idea of how they look and feel.
Maybe do a themed thing now and then. Kinda like "Leprechauns Gone Wild" or something for a holiday. :D
