Press space or arrow keys or click to navigate! --- Welcome, one and all, to the thrilling, perilous, goofy, romantic, heartwarming, funny, and exciting JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME! (a lot of buildup for a big pile of shipping and angst) (glad you're here anyway though :D) --- I first started Journey of a Lifetime in 2018 as a fun way to write a story with a group of awesome people. We actually got pretty far into the story, at 20 chapters, before it died out. All of us missed our collab a lot, and we weren't really sure where the story was going to go if we continued. But then a few weeks ago, the lovely @DyinQWhAle suggested that we reboot the collab and restart the story! This time, we have two new writers joining us (amazing ones at that <3). Give a warm welcome to @Eulalie- and @Swallowheart!! We have a lot of new information about the world our story takes place in, unlike last time. Please check out all parts of this project, especially if you are one of the collaborators! Also, shoutout to these beautiful people for being incredible and drawing art for the project: @-SpaghettiCorgi- (Thomas) @Cora901283 (Amora) @DyinQWhAle (Ridge & Renn) @cwkcassie793 (Cory) @TheGreninjaCoder (Edwin) @Eulalie- (Sparrow) @Swallowheart (Magnolia) --- LINKS TO THE ORIGINAL: 2018 announcement-https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/238769624/ First chapter- https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/239251875/ Last chapter- https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/378940176/ If you're new to the collab, or just want to know how it works if you're planning to read it, please check out these links! They'll provide you with plenty of insight. If you want to look at Mystery at Charpentiere Manor (it's not as long or fleshed-out as JOAL, but still fun), here's the announcement: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/279258496/ --- CHARACTERS (look in the project for their designs and descriptions!): - Thomas Owned and drawn by @-SpaghettiCorgi- - Eliza Owned and drawn by @PeriwinklePenguin11 - Amora Owned and drawn by @Cora901283 - Ridge Owned and drawn by @DyinQWhAle - Raven Owned by @Pscorer, drawn by @PeriwinklePenguin11 - Renn Owned and drawn by @DyinQWhAle - Cory Owned and drawn by @cwkcassie793 - Edwin Owned and drawn by @TheGreninjaCoder - Sparrow Owned and drawn by @Eulalie- - Magnolia Owned and drawn by @Swallowheart ^^^ Check out all of these wonderful people!! --- ALL SPOTS ARE CLOSED! Just to make this clear, there are no spots left for new writers to join. I am really sorry, but if you'd like, you can read the story as it's produced! To any collaborators, if you can, please try to get your chapters done within 2 weeks of the last chapter. I understand that we're all busy, especially since we're older now, so if you need any extensions, just let me or the other writers know, and if you're unable to finish your chapter, then we can skip it. Also, could you please comment whether you think we should create a new studio for the chapters and art in this collab, or if we should keep using the old studios? --- Music: "Gusty Garden Galaxy" from Super Mario Galaxy (87/10 game) Whenever I look at this I like to imagine the characters playing the music Amora furiously strumming the guitar with a maniacal grin on her face Edwin and Renn blaring the trombone and trumpet, respectively, not even playing the actual song Thomas and Ridge chaotically vibing on the drums Eliza nervously fumbling with a violin and dropping the bow several times (I've done that in front of over 500 people let me tell you not fun) Sparrow being an incredible flutist and singlehandedly carrying the melody Cory trying desperately to conduct but nobody is paying attention Magnolia trying to figure out the bassoon and glaring at anyone who makes fun of her Raven refusing to play Ok that's it @-spaghetticorgi- it's all up to you now begin >:D eliza's hand makes me want to c r y #joal #thomas #eliza #amora #ridge #raven #renn #cory #edwin #sparrow #magnolia #collab
