Emmy?
Is that because my genius is worthy of an emmy?

(Meh. I'm sorry for that. I'm tired...)

Vince Twelve · Sun 20/04/2008 00:42:13

If we're giving Emerald a nickname, might I suggest "Hemorrhald"?

"Dickpimple"?

Haha. I hate you guys...

And that just doesn't make sense...

Hmm... Lo_rez is taking his sweet time. it's been about 98 hours since I sent it on, 50 since he acknowledged receiving it...

I suppose I didn't make it easy for him. The plot started out strong, then kind of meandered off for a bit -- which would have been fine if it weren't for all the skippings (ours is the shortest version) -- so I tried to ride it back to the initial point. Though the way I did it... If he manages to wrap it up in 300 words, I'll be quite impressed...

It's not that big a deal, it's just that the ending might seem somewhat abrupt, since about 900 potential words worth of plot is missing...

Tuomas · Mon 21/04/2008 19:03:47

Oh give the guy a break, it's not like we haven't waited before

Emerald · Mon 21/04/2008 21:14:25

That's exactly what I'm doing.

Pshhh.

Hehe... come on LRM... like Dr Harold Shipman I'm quickly losing my patients.

Nice reference, Stupot

I also liked your suggestion for the next story, but TwinMoon PMed a mod to revive the writing competition, so I think we'll be writing short stories every one of us. But if there's a new collab thing too, I'll be sure to join!

Actually, I must insist that Lo-res finish the story and send it now.
A lot of people are waiting and this has already taken long enough.

What happens if he doesn't? Will I send the story on unfinished, or will I finish it myself, or what?

Tuomas · Tue 22/04/2008 22:28:40

Then the world will explode and we will all die!!!

auriond · Thu 24/04/2008 06:39:59

Surely lo_res has had enough time to finish it by now? I really want to see the stories.

LGM · Thu 24/04/2008 06:51:45

* LGM explodes

Vince Twelve · Thu 24/04/2008 08:52:54

* Vince Twelve Cleans up LGM's remains and then explodes

Previous chain story: 22 people - 19 days

I had rather forgotten about this, my apologies. I will get right on it.

Treachery most foul!

voh · Thu 24/04/2008 21:53:29

I have to admit I'm getting rather sick of waiting for lo_res_man to do his part. I check back a couple times a day to see if there's finally a conclusion, but noooo :'(

Stupot · Thu 24/04/2008 22:23:59

How about we use this to our advantage and turn it into the next challenge?

Release the three finished stories separately for us all to enjoy, but then also release the unfinished story and hold a competition where we all have to finish that story in 300 words. Then we will have a vote for the best ending, and that ending will become the official ending for branch B-1.

Anyone?

auriond · Fri 25/04/2008 00:48:05

Yeah, I'm all up for that. Anything to get this moving again. It's seriously getting real old real fast. Soon it will be the AGS Geriatric Writing Project.
