The small segway to Chapter 1 I shat out included some things that should be covered.

I tried to set up the idea of using a NPC / mass-production event page... basicly a blank page where you post events that reoccur (like a certain switch or title presentation, or item shop, or treasure chest or item shop guy... whatever)

As well as an event for each actor who plays a role at all, for ease-of-access for other creators.
This way if you put the custom text box and a message with his name and everything all set up... there is nothing for the next person to figure out or learn, because the tools are readily available. It's a marginal amount of work... with a great outcome! You can even leave notes in the events to explain if necissary.

One thing I hope will be helpful, which I already just mentioned, is the major actors. You can quickly give the creator an idea of who you think is important to the story, and possibly sprout ideas for the next person. Also, if you want to be a witty stud (like me) I suggest using obscure food names or other languages to pull of a pun or in-joke.
See: Redshirt, the standard issue space station stooge.
or Pruim which is Afrikaan for Plum
or Kukko which is Japanese for chef of non-japanese cuisine
or Ryoorinnin, Japanese for chef of japanese cuisine (correct me if I'm wrong)
(Ryoorinnin was split between the main character and the girl who have to cure, Ryoo and Rinnin) HINTHINT (?)

More notes to come!
