New Enjoyable Writing Project

LGM

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.

Fuzzpilz

Has this actually started yet, or are you still waiting?

LGM

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!

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.  ???

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.

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.

I know it's my turn to write on the writing project, but I'll take care of that next week.

Andail

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.

Fuzzpilz

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.

Archangel (aka SoupDragon)

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 ;)

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 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!*)

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?
