Ok this game is inspired from all of my mid terms in school. We get a starting point with a setting or a plot point.

What you do in this game is that I will write a setting, a plot point or a line and then you'll write a short out of that. At the top of your post write down the sentence, plot point or line you're going from in case someone posts something here while you're writing your story. There's no limit to how short or long it can be and it doesn't have to be Shakespeare material either. Let's have fun with this!!! I'll start you guys off now and I'll join the game a bit down the line.

My plot point:

Getting laid.


A bit immature I guess but didn't I say let's have fun with this?

Happy writing!

This is actually identical (with the exception of the deadline) to Dogglebe's One Week Writing Exercise which just completed its fourth incarnation.

You might get some takers, depending on who is up for it. Of course, you didn't give a setting... Check the contests board and you'll find the last four of the writing exercises.

Well done!

Oh c'mon Guy.  You're seriously underestimating the vast amount of boo-tay you can get on sites like myspace.  Sure it's all simulated and you could go horribly blind while growing hair on your palms, but serious boo-tay.

I really have no idea of what I'm talking about.  Just looking for an excuse to say boo-tay, and I've said it.  Thrice!


Thrice?  Hey that's another word that isn't used often enough, kinda like tantamount.  I find tantamount to be a really cool word.  It reminds of this one time when I was just walking down the street, and this homeless guy came up to me, and he was all like "Yo man", and I was like "What's up blood?"  and he said "O Positive", and I was like "I don't know what you're talking about", and I continued on my way until I came to a small store that only sold Chinese antiques and Root Beer.  I didn't have enough money for this vase I really wanted (dude wouldn't budge on the price!), so I settled for the Root Beer.  I think it was an A & W.

Having enjoyed my root beer, I continued on my merry little way, until I came upon this woman.  She said to me "Hey" and I said "What's up Jeannie with the light brown hair?" and she said "I have no idea what you're talking about".  Not to fall victim to the same fate as my homeless friend I said "Nevermind", and she said "Do you like Root Beer?".  Well, having just partaken in sampling the cool beverage, I replied in the affirmative.  And then we slept together.  And then she charged me 50 bucks.  Whore.

Getting laid is complicated.  Never ever do it.  But if you must, please remember that in the world of prositution "Do you like Root Beer?" actually means "Would you like to contract syphillis in the back of a broken down Plymouth Voyager?"

And that's...........One To Grow On

WOW

Has anyone but me noticed that there is a lot less participation on these boards lately by some of the more respectable and experienced writers?

Hmmmmm............

Depends on your definition of respectable and experienced.

Quoted from Shelton Depends on your definition of respectable and experienced.

the opposite of me

I think you know what I mean Mike.

You've even posted less and yes! I do respect you and consider you experienced (and I only have to ad this side note because it's you, I'm talking about you as a writer here).

i'd have to disagree with you there tomson, a good portion of the big post counters have all had posts today... most of them are considered among the respectable writers on this site... yes?

Yeah, I glanced around a little bit and noticed the usual active people being, well, active.  I know what you mean in terms of a lull though since I noticed one a few months back.  Sometimes this can be attributed to lack of new unproduced scripts to review, but considering Don posted 28 today, and a good portion of them appear to be by active forum members, activity should increase.

If it doesn't I can continue writing my senseless anecdotes.
