Okay guys. I think Mal was kidding. Nomik, you can't possibly write your part of the story because we have no idea what it is about, and it must stay in line with what the others before you have written. The ONLY person who should be writing anything right now is our first writer who will be revealed soon.

Then, when it is your turn, you see what the people ahead of you did, and you keep the story cohesive.

Hi Dana Jean, Sorry to rock the boat. I was kidding and am patiently awaiting my turn and will roll with whatever I get given to me. My only hope is to not make the story worse when it passes by/through me. In the meantime I'm just being my usual idiotic self. All the best, mal.

I didn't mean to sound terse, I'm just taking a quick break from work. Spidey, thank you for further clarifying the original directive and for the encouragement. I used to have my students do this kind of thing when I was teaching.

Hi everybody! I hope you will take the time to read this and think about joining the fun.

This year, we will be doing things the way they were done when this board first started.
A much looser format. Not a lot of editing other than maybe spelling, or if you forgot a period, a period will be added. Your words will be yours.

There is no discussion about the story topic. No deciding elements involved. This is more like playing that kid game, "Telephone, Telegraph, Tell the Next writer!"

Some brave soul will start us off. They will get to pick what our story will be this year: ghost, zombie, vampire, spooky kid, crazy neighbor. We have no clue. The next person in line to write will see the segment posted live and we usually include the name of the author. No anonymous stuff.

These stories will start posting as they are written. The next person in line will see what the story idea is, and do their very best to keep that story flowing.

All writing abilities welcome. And no criticizing. This isn't meant for professional publication, so no need to get harsh. Stephen King will not read this. You will not be discovered. Each writer will not have days to polish their work. This is quick, rough writing. Gonzo style.

There will be continuity issues. There will be plot lines lost. There will be a bazillion characters introduced. And it's called FUN AND ENTERTAINMENT.

I encourage anyone who just wants to play with words to give it a go. More information will follow when we get our list.

Cut off for sign ups, September 15th? sound good?

Any questions, feel free to ask.

Glad to see the story writing returning to its original style. Having participated both ways, the first way was much more fun and relaxed for me. Can't wait to read it!! ♥
