Let's save the Tale! Calling XMTS' resident writers to save the XMTSAS Saltire

[ccga3359]

So let me get this right. Panache, the great Panache could not finish a "Gin & Tonic"! Well that truly is a first.

Now why am I picturing all these writers are out there, sitting at their typewriters, cheeky smirk upon their faces, devilishly rubbing their hand together whilst staring at a picture of me? Oh, the humanity.

I just had a thought and need to add a rule to the story guidelines

The rules

You must have read the entire story
You must follow the outline
You must stick to the characters you are given to write about
You may not kill, injure, mutilate, torture, or othrewise maim Grant unless it is specifically detailed in the story outline you are given.*


Cheers

Jamie





* Note that "humiliate" was speciffically not listed here.

Well I am glad you said that, Kaptain, but would you clarify that a bit. Throwing Grant into the wall at The Wizard's shop is humiliating so I can do that again? Maybe more than once!

I'm sure the Wizard bounces off of the walls of his shop all the time from all that coffee. I'm sure he's not humiliated by it. I doubt that you could do that again, I've since added about 15Lbs of beer fat from working out.

Then you will hit the wall that much harder Grant

Oddly enough - I think that I was there, in the city at that time, visiting someone who actually went to the concert mentioned in the story.

It might get a bit strange writing about fictional events in a time and place when I was really there.

It would certainly add an interesting perspective Anne.

I am pleased to say that I had a taker for the next chapter and (hopefully) the game is afoot again!

However we will still need more writers, heck I think I myself might have something to contribute.

If they're still using typewriters, chances are we won't be reading their tomes any time soon.
What do you say we move the entire forum back to typewriters and the Postal Services of our various and sundry native lands? We'd all get some cool stamps that way!

Well...and this is coming from a man who has thirteen typewriters...you could always use the typewriter and then scan with optical character recognition software and then paste it into the body of a post...

...oddly enough, I heard a story on the news earlier today about the movement of people away from computer oriented communication and back to hand and type written letters sent through the mails. It was referred to as the counterpart of the "slow food" movement. For those interested:

This sounds like a sort of "exquisite corpse" sort of writing assignment...each chapter being written by a different individual. Could be interesting.
