Okay, as Andail's writing project has just *ended* , I'm going to start a new one.
As you all know, the project went on for long.. And I think the reason was because too many people signed up, and not all of them had the time to start right away, or forgot about them.
I will only alow 25 writers to participate this round. First come first serve.
*Now no word limit.. Write as much as you want.. Just don't overdo it.*
Here are the rules for the project. Read all of them CAREFULLY:
|1| If you want to join, leave a simple post stating you want to participate. Also, state which number you are. I.E If the person that posted before you was 1, you would be 2. Oh and, PLEASE leave a working email address so the story can be sent to you.
|2| Do NOT make stupid comments or idle chit-chat until AFTER signing up has finished. I don't want to search through tons of posts to find the next person that signed up.
|3| Do not post any part of the story WHATSOEVER. It will spoil the fun and nobody will like you.
|4| Don't take 2 years to do your part. If you can't do it at the time, send it to the next person.
|5| Let's take this story in a more comical direction. And keep it out of the Fantasy & Sci-Fi area. We've already done one of those.. And don't get outrageously silly.. I.E Penis, sex, and fart jokes.. Subtle humour.. Something like Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or Phil's book. ;)
|6| Please make sense of what you're writing.. Proofread and check it twice(Or more). We don't want this thing to slow down because you have bad grammar.
|7| Keep a sense of the point of view.. If it starts in first person, and the next person switches over to second or third.. It's gonna get funky.. Follow suit and stay consistent.
|8| Don't be overly gross with sex and drugs.. Kids might be reading this thing!
|9| Have fun with this and don't stress out with this.. If you can't think of much, don't write much.. It's all in good fun, and nobodies going to know if you wrote drivel or Masterpiece material.
|10| Keep track of the story. State in the email who the next person is, so nobody forgets and confusion arises.
That's it, have fun!
Whoever posts first, remember that you are setting the whole plot for this "book" Take your time, make it good!
And that's all I have to say about that..
START SIGNING UP! SEATS ARE GOING QUICKLY!

New rule, no word limit! Just don't write a whole book, please.
Don't get carried away... When you've added 20 pages.. I think it's time to stop... Remember, it's not just your story.
Has this actually started yet, or are you still waiting?
It starts when TipTop sends the story... Yes, it has started now.. We have enough to begin.. But don't let that stop people from joining!
I'm game. I've been looking for a group project to sabotage with my lack of writing talent. Heh, this story's death will be sweet >:}

edit: by cartoonish style, do you mean with sarcastic humor and such like in MI games? In any case, I'll go along with the story when it reaches me. If it's still alive, lol... :P ;D ::)
Eggie, Layabout... Leave your email addresses!
So, hows this thing going?
Dunno.. Who has the story now? TipTop.. If you still have it, you better finish soon!
:)
Also.. Whoever's on the end of the list, please send the story to me.... Should've said that before.. But oh well.
Well, I haven't gotten it yet...
lazyass999 at hotmail.com
sheesh, I STILL haven't gotten this yet? whats teh holdhup?
I protest this intolerable delay in receiving the project file. Futhermore, I call all lovers of bad-fiction-freedom to join me in a pre-emptive strike on LGM in the interest of forum security.
I've had to edit this twice... I really should learn to spell.
T3? AGA? HELLO?!
Alright, so I forgot. Shoot me now.
Well, I'm done now, so... I sent it off to AGA.
Tip: You can't EVER trust me to do things on time.. Just ask LGM
Okay, received. Give me some amount of time to work on it...
Okay, my addition is added and I've sent it on to Trapezoid.
i just got it...will forward to whoever is next soon
Yippity doo!
sh!t, just got my internet fixed, sorry I haven't done it yet. can you resend it? whole PC is screwed up.
Sorry guys
My host is being crazy, so send it to fuzzpilz@gmx.net if my turn comes before email starts working again.
I'll sign up, if it's not too late
18. Quikstrike89@hotmail.com
>:( What's with the delay? Argghh!
I need the paper resent. it was lost when my internet died.
Dayum. Furk. Shat.
I resent it, Panda. This project isn't doing so well, is it?
okay, wrote my section, thought it was funny. Word didn't save my project. Okay. I rewrote it, and I'll have it sent in 24 hours.
BAM! written and sent.
man, I feel dirty now.
Ummm, aren't I next man? If so, it didn't recieve it....
My e-mail is squinky6@hotmail.com....
yeah, I sent it there. I'll do it agian though. but thats where I put it
okay, I sent it again. if it doesn't show up...then I'm screwed.
Squinky, did you get it yet? Everybody else is waiting and I signed up last! I hate my timing.
Nope....And since I just got an e-mail from snake, I'm pretty sure my e-mail is working....
Are you sure Mr.panda? Cause I haven't recieved it from you, unless your offering me a college degree or a larger unit...
Um... if quikstrike was 18 then...
* Iqu puts on his "lucky 19" shirt and waits for the pass...
Why do I get the feeling that I maybe waiting for sometime?

I just realized that I'm # 18, Chai in hebrew. Chai means life!
*Starts singing "Fiddler on the Roof" songs
TO LIFE! TO LIFE! LA'CHAIM!
Chai means tea in Chinese.(Which chinese I don't remember)
edit- This is all sooo slow. I don't have enough patience.
this better end up good :)... i dont know if i will join or not. can someone maybe post a bit of the plot so far... like a paragraph? i hope i am not cheating...

Interesting that I never knew that.
:P
And I still have not recieved the e-mail.....
Do me a favor, senior Panda, just send it on to the guy after me....I don't really understand whats happening with this whole e-mail being sent, but good ole Patty here not getting it thingyamajig...but I don't want to be the one responsible for screwing this up...
Thanks...
Kind of noble, really.
This seems like as good a time as any to say that my E-mail seems to be slightly weird at the moment. I havenm't been able to send anything (might just be coincidence) and I'm getting a lot of stuff from this straaaange porn site. ???
okay, who's next?
I've got an idea, Mr. Panda. Put it up on your site and PM Squinky the URL. HE can copy and paste it into a document do his part, and send it to the next person.
One could think that a bunch of young computer geeks who know how to construct adventure games and advanced homepages should be able to send emails to eachother without screwing it up
you call me homepage advanced?
anyways, I think I figured out the problem. sending when I get back from school.
andail is right. even i can work email... ::)

;D ;D ;D
Okay...I've got your e-mail mr.Panda.....
But, get this....It's all jarbled up....
This is just not meant to be...I think I'm cursed or something...
So, Like I said before man, Since I can't send this one on to the next guy, please just send it on for me...
Thanks..
How long has panda had this for?
about two weeks.
what do you mean, all jarbled up? what teh crap?? now what should I do? my website is closed
omg... ???
Pass it on to me.
you got it. sending....
Over to Fuzzy....
Sent on to Simple.
Simple: You'll gots to mail it to me on borreborre@hotmail.com. I lost the password to my other account.
So, how goes the story, Scid?
#20. willmiracle99@hotmail.com. WHOOHOO.
Make sure the last person sends it to me!
Oh.. And WHERE THE FUCK IS IT?!
I know I haven't got it, and quickstrike says he doesn't.
I have about feeling Squinky is writing an epic that'll make war and peace look like a mr. men book..
..or Mr. Panda is emailing it to him one word at a time.
haha, I haven't had it for a month or so, if you bothered to read a few posts back. I gave it to barick, who gave it to fuzzy, who gave it to simple, and this is where we rest. lets just skip simple and move on.
Frankly, I had forgotten about the story alltogether. I haven't seen it in my inbox yet. Since I am the one after Simple, send it to me. I'll quickly add in my "power rangers have sex with the green giant" chapter, and ship the sucker down the road as soon as possible.
Looking through this post it seems that many people who originally signed up for this have since left the forums.
Scid has it now.
Got it ;)
And sent it to Andail.
w00t I ares after andail! wheee

I know it's my turn to write on the writing project, but I'll take care of that next week.
Done, and sent it to Archangel.
Sorry for getting horrendously lengthy, but I just couldn't stop writing.
On the other hand, that should make up for several people before me writing really short.
At least if the centred "* * *" means new authors.
So far, it's pretty good I guess, not brilliant but ok.
It's been a while, but IIRC it was me who first added the *** where I thought they fit (i.e. there weren't any when I got it), in one case in the middle of my part.
Yayness! Just got it Andail, but you're lucky, with that subject title I *almost* deleted it, just saw the ags bit on the end ;)
Yay I'm next :D
Well, I don't know about the other guys, but I just added those ***ies when time passed. That's how I interpreted them.
I probably put in about four of them, so I guess all those people before you that wrote really short were all me. (I wrote from right after the janitor scene up to the, well, where you got it)
All right, then some handy person could include some stars in my text too. Right now it's just a big chunk of text.
I did think it was funny that all those people wrote so short, and so similar in style, and also so funny. Good job, Scid. I hope I have discharged your legacy satisfactory.
I'm too late :(
Oh well. I'll sign up next time...
how people do we have left? I would very much like to see how this turned out
I'm number 12 and I'm next. Hope that answers your question.
There are plenty of writers left...and considering it took us four months to reach number eleven, don't expect it too soon
Hm.. I'm number 19. Someone prod me with a stick in sometime in November.
I liked how the plot was moving along nicely. It doesn't have any of those "Suddently, everything that happened before this point becomes irrelevant, as our main dude gets abducted by aliens. Next writer please!" moments.
Let's hope things remain that way. (*Hint hint!*)
You mean I have to write something else, now?
I just mean that in the last enjoyable writing project, I've discovered that all those twists and turns make the end-result suck like hell.
I was pleasantly surprised at the consistancy of the plot when I got the story, and I tried my best to keep it that way.
Am I alone in hating how satan suddently showed up in the last enjoyable writing project?
Oh... that last one got so messed up. Didn't the main character turn into a woman part way through? I was so confused I couldn't keep reading.
Hehe, Dragonrose...the woman-bit was the part I liked best...it was all fantasy crap that kind of ruined it...although I still found it somewhat entertaining.
Anyhow, let's hope people have learnt to be consistent this time :)
Right, sorry it took so long, but my ISP decided to disconnect me for a couple of days. I'm sending it to you now, Sasha.
I finished mine but Rabbit With Fangs" mailbox is full so I can't send it to him. Should I send it to the person after him?
Well, he hasn't been around for a couple of months, and neither has bruised, so might I suggest it goes straight to Eggie?
you could PM him couldn't you?
Not much use if he isn't here... but ok, worth a shot
This is my first post to the AGS forums. I have yet to write an adventure, draw a picture, compose a song, or even come up with a snappy signature. However, I would like to add to this piece of corroborative fiction (!)
Is slot # 22 still available? If so sign me up! jds@ameritech.net
Devy
I say, let's ignore whoever doesn't show up in time or can't accept emails or whatever...this project will never be finished if we can't keep a decent pace.
Devlonas, I don't run this thing but you seem nice and eloquent so I hope LGM or whoever runs this thing lets you join. Welcome to the community, btw
if you'll accept me...

Eggie, please pm me when you send it as my hotmail will shove it in the junk mailbox. Cheers.
It's nice to know you've configured Hotmail to block my E-mail. :P
I'm reading through the thing now.
Oh no! I skipped Melia and sent it straight to eggie! What's going to happen about that! Jeez, sorry, what an embarrasing stuff up! :-[
Aww, my feeling sare hurt.... sort of... not really.
Perhaps eggie could just email the thing to me after he's finished? Or I could be skipped entirely. I'm happy either way.
Melia, I'll send it to you after i'm done with it. Sweet? Cool.
If I can still join... sign me up #24

Can you believe I have the temerity to sign up last?

Sounds like a weiner.
two people until my turn, wow, this thing is going faster than I thought...
I keep wondering what kind of nightmare will be sent to me lol ;).
Though it does sound like it's going along well. :)
Rock on! :P
It has zombies, chewing gum, crazy homicidal smilies and 100 year old cake! :D
j/k
Is this almost done? ::)
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
Well.. I'm glad we got past that annoying Email Tag situation..
Yes, it's alright for you late-comers to get a piece of the action..
Nobody end the story, though.. When everyone's through, I would like to get it and finish it up..
If that makes sense..
I would sign up, but I'm not sure if its too late or what.
Besides, that would be way too long anyway if I signed up now.
Eh. Sign up. This story's already been in circulation 6 months, what difference will one person make?
Speaking of the story being in circulation for 6 months, it's BEEN 6 MONTHS, PEOPLE! This crap is turning into some slow ass crap, here.
OK
lets make it even slower :)

Who's got the story? I'm confused.
I don't know, its pretty obvious at this point the story will never be finished. ;D
im serious here. lets just send it back to LGM, call it a story and start again
these projects shouldnt have more then 10-15 people i think
Yes, start it again. And let me be in it.
whos got it? hurry hurry hurry hurry
Don't hurry, that is stupid. It's supposed to be enjoyable, is it not? ::)
it will be enjoyible once I get to read it. its been what, 6 months? I forgot what it was about
Less not story being finished and more story being finished!
Anyone mind me signing up?
I was gone for 2 months and the story has gone backward in the list sice then.
Whoever has it just fuggin' send it to me.. Yeesh! It's not that hard!
I'd love to signup but I think I'm a little late... If I'm still allowed to join, then:

If anybody still has a copy of this, please do post it. Otherwise, I will lock the thread in a few days.
I still have it as it was when I got it, but I'm sure somebody after me must have kept a copy. Arch? Femme/Sasha? Eggie? Anybody?
I sent it on but lost the original in my reformat, sorry.
I recently cleared out my hard-drive so...I don't have a copy...
last i knew layabout had it
