What me, Kusa and a few others did before was discuss and throw around ideas and eventually a plot formed where one of us would be in charge of writing the story (the others would update their characters as needed).

Before overall plot can be discussed though, the timing of the story needs to be set in stone (ex. the PreGen story me and kusa are in takes place 30 years before shippuden). In addition, if you want a genin team to form, we are going to need a sensei character. I'll let Kusa throw in their two cents because they are better at explaining things then i am.
