I think we should just write the darn thing and see how it comes out. ^.^ I personally don't like having such constraints put on my writing. It kills the creativity and makes it more of a chore.
Bottom line, let's just try to be consistent while accepting that everyone's going to have a different writing style and all that. It doesn't have to be perfect. Let's just think of this as a practice, a writing exercise for fun.
Putting so many parameters on it was what turned me off to the idea in the first place when you guys were talking about it a few months ago. Too many rules doesn't leave enough wiggle room for experimentation. I think we have a good enough foundation in place to have a successful fic.
So. Shall we start? Who wants to go first? Or shall I since I'm the one that started this ball rolling in the first place? Thoughts? Comments? Concerns?

I think you should start it But you should probably wait just in case others have anything to say or add first . . .

I think everyone's waiting for someone else to do it. Probably doesn't help that Starlight's not around for a while.

No, I was going to start it once others weighed in with final feedback, but...then Starlight's parents banned her from the internet, and it didn't seem right to start without her, so I never did.

ok i see... that's really too bad though, are her parents actually deliberately blocking her from websites like Poirot? i didn't think they were intentionally restricting her internet use...

Yeah, from what I gathered from what she said, it didn't seem like she was grounded or anything but rather that her parents had been influenced by other parents in coming to the opinion that they needed to monitor their child's internet usage and restrict it. *Shrugs* So I don't know, but I would feel bad starting without her... Maybe give it another month and see before starting without her.
Or maybe in the meantime, we could do a different fic so that it doesn't feel like we're leaving her out due to her misfortune. Did anyone have any other fic ideas for a fun, lighthearted community fic?

Yeah, I think we should wait a month or so.
Hmmmm, fun, lighthearted community fic ideas . . . *imagines Kaito in an aquarium* I know I had an idea before while reading the competition entries, but I forgot it . . . What if the gosho boys were all members of a site and they didn't realize it? No idea how that'd turn out, though . . .

Not knowing how it's going to turn out is half the fun. But that could be interesting. Like, Hakuba, Shinichi, Heiji, and Sera were all members of a detectives forum, and Kaito keeps infiltrating/trolling with different accounts and getting banned? And at this point he's done it so often they keep a scorecard of who figures him out first?

If it were closer to summer, I'd suggest a DCMK cast goes on vacation to Hawaii or something fic.

good news! I'll have continued access to Poirot Cafe starting end of next week or the one following that, so hopefully I'll be heading back very soon <3
worst month of my life I miss you all so much D:

Yay! Huzzah! Starlight! You've been missed. Seriously.
I like both the Kaito+aquarium and detective forum ideas. Hawaii vacation could be exciting. I'm just imagining Shinichi giving a tour and saying, "This is where I learned to drive a car, and over there I learned how to pilot a helicopter, and down the street is where I learned how to fire a handgun. Oh! And if you look to your right, that's where I first studied underwater basket weaving!"
