Hello again,
I was reading my collection of Arsene Lupin when I noticed that my two favorite books are Gentleman Burglar, and The Confessions of Arsene Lupin. These books are comprised of several episodic stories and heists from the world of Arsene Lupin, and they are pretty good. I would say the stories bite-sized nature lend themselves better to the nature of Lupin rather than the more novel stylized books (I am just starting The Crystal Stopper so we will see whether or not that opinion changes). So, I had a thought, what if I made a google doc where people can put their Lupin III Short Stories/Heists, and I can then compile it into one mini book. The fanfics of Lupin we got on the club are already awesome so to have this culmination of the club's work in one tome would be really cool. On the really unlikely chance I get a lot of submissions I will just make two books.
Rules and Instructions:
How to: I will link a google doc open your own personal tab (that bit's important) and put your username and working title for the story. This is your drafting area if you want to write the draft for your story elsewhere and then submit the final project in the doc that's also cool. When your story is complete message me on here and I will add it to the final product. Any questions you have can also be sent to me obviously. Two side notes. First, I am neither an experienced nor good writer so any advice I give if asked for should be taken with a grain of salt. Second if your shy about drafts then make your own docs before the final submission because I will be looking at any submissions I get out of curiosity.
Rules
1: Don't kill Lupin? I mean if you do I guess it'll just be ignored?
2: Canon/Continuity never heard of it. Just cause it's one book doesn't mean the stories have to be connected. If you and someone else want to write connected stories or if you have multiple submissions, you want to tie together let me know and I'll put them in order.
3: Manga? I mean if you want to draw something I guess I could work it in to the final product, but this is trying to emulate the original books so keep that in mind. If you do though make it a full story.
4: Submissions. Call me pessimistic but I doubt I am going to be flooded with submissions so feel free to put more than one. If the entire thing becomes just yours though I'll probably separate your stories from the other ones and make a small compilation book for you.
5: NSFW. Please avoid putting anything NSFW in this. I am fine with implications as long as it's nothing explicit be it in word, or image. On that note, tone isn't something I really care about if anything I might put the more lighthearted stories next to the darkest ones just for the fun of the tonal whiplash. But again, nothing TOO explicit.
Conclusion: I touched on before how I doubt there will be lot but that isn't really the point anyway. This is more about putting the combined work of this great community into one thing we can all enjoy. You know where to find me with questions, suggestions, or possible titles for the finished product. Without further ado have at it, Lupin III Club.

PS: Put at the top of your tab whether or not you want/are open to advice from everyone else. That way it becomes a truly collaborative effort and even those who don't want to write their own story can contribute.
PPS: Put what color jacket Lupin is wearing. Feel free to make your own designs for the characters but if your writing, make sure to add some nice imagery for our mental pictures.
