OK, so basically how this works is it's like a 3 word story except it's more like a 250 word story and it keeps to a bit more topicality and development. Each person takes it in turn to develop the story - don't go totally at right angles, though definitely put your own spin on it.
I'd like to run a couple of chains but we'll see how many people sign up. We'll do it openly, so you know who's written what as we go along. Basically you sign up to a rota, when it gets round to you you will write a 250 word section of the story in the story thread. All posts other than story sections in the story thread will be deleted. Chatter will occur in this thread.
Sign up! Be part of this thing! Or things!
Story thread: http://exilian.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2715.0;topicseen
(I will plan on being second on the list, though I'll make an OP to the story topic that also lays down the rules)
THE ROTA
The Khan
Death Nade
Jubal
Scarlet
Comrade_General
Pentagathus
Othko
CURRENT TURN: Death Nade from the 6th of September
-
AWESOME! Sign me up! ;D
-
Yay :)
When we have 4-5 signups I'll start the writing thread.
-
So, we need to all decide a theme/genre. I propose either Fantasy/Medieval or Sci-fi/Futuristic.
-
I'd say go sci-fi?
-
I'm up for it but it'll be dreadful/ will take forever and therefore you might not want me to be so :P
-
In.
-
I think we'll probably give people a time limit of a week, or the option to skip if they don't get there in time/know they won't be able to. That way it will keep movign regardless.
S, I'm sure it won't be dreadful at all. :)
-
I'm happy to pitch in and portugal it up if needs be.
-
I'll join!
-
OK, I like Sci-Fi too. Who else agrees/objects?
-
Updated :)
-
Before I get started I want to make sure that everyone is happy about the story we're about to write. If anyone has any ideas they would like to share for the story than please, go ahead.
-
Just go ahead and start already. :P
-
Oh armadillo! I forgot about this, so sorry. I've got an Idea, I'll get started with it in the next few days.
-
I'm so sorry for being this late and also for going over the word count limit. I hope you don't mind.
-
No problem. My turn, then. :)
-
It is a problem. I mind very much. I am in fact apocalyptically angry, almost tetanic with rage. I shall ruin you and all of your deeds Khan.
Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!
-
My name is CG, and I approve the preceding message.
-
Named after you, you should feel proud.
(I'm going to ignore that Pent, I know you're just being you.)
-
What else would I be?
-
A monster! A great and terrible monster!
-
My section is done, I fleshed out a bit of extra background - we're going to have high-tech space transport and flying cities but surprisingly archaic weapons I think. Laputa, anyone? :)
-
Swords and Sci-Fi! ;D So awesome! I like how the spaceship has sails. It's very creative. How big is the ship would you say? The size of a small house?
-
Got my piece in, it sucks, and I went a bit over the word limit - big whoop wanna fight about it?!
-
No CG, I love it! Don't put yourself down like that. And it doesn't matter if you go over, I did.
-
Well thanks. :P
-
Can you message Penty and poke him to do his bit? :)
-
Yo bitches, I'm back, have no fear.
-
*Runs away in fear*
-
*Chases Khan* *with a towel-whip*
-
*equips self with full ceramic plate armour ready to face the evil towel-wiper*
-
Aite, I'll admit I have no idea what I'm going to be writing here, and not much time to write it, so it it will probably be armadillo.
Edit:
It's done. Slightly over 250 words but I don't have time to edit it. Midget space vampires anyone?
-
Righty, Othko's turn. Ain't no party like a midget space vampire party!
-
Hahaha! Very creative Pent, what's next? Giant Werewolves? :P
-
I think a gothic/scifi crossover could be quite fun. :P
-
Does Othko know it's his turn? It's been a few weeks.
-
Oops, sorry people, I completely forgot about this with all the festivities. I'll get it written up sometime soon.
-
Yay :)
-
I think he forgot again. Or maybe his just too busy.
-
Okay, let's skip Othko for now. Khan, you take another turn (I'll leave you to edit the OP with whose turn it is since you can do that now).
-
;D Will do!
EDIT: I added the current turn to this thread as well as the Rota to the other thread. :)
-
Sorry about that, I forgot and have been having to do computing almost non-stop anyway :/ I would suggest skipping me, because this looks set to continue for a while.
-
It's OK Othko, maybe next time you'll have time. :)
I managed to do mine under the 250 mark this time. A bit more history building. :) Jubals turn!
-
Can i join this?
-
I wouldn't have a problem with that. We'll see what Jubal has to say though. :)
-
Yeah, sure, you may as well take a turn and replace me (and I'll go next so the order's Kh/DN/JB/etc) :)
-
Editing the list again! (This Moderation stuff sure is fun so far! :D ) It's your turn Death Nade!
-
Sweet, I'll probably post the next segment tomorrow. Too late to bother now :P
-
Looking forward to what you come up with!
-
You're up Jubal. :)
-
I'll get on it later/this weekend, hopefully :)
-
Not meaning to pester or anything but you did say:
If 6 days pass and the writer has not gotten their section done, or if the writer skips, it is the next writer's turn.
I'm not saying we should skip you but maybe you should change this rule to something a bit more lenient.
-
Extended to 2 weeks, good call, and apologies for my failings.
-
Here at Exilian we make rules but we don't follow them.
-
Yeah, that's mostly my fault :(
-
I wasn't calling you out, it's site-wide. :P
-
I did go a month of forgetting to post the first part so I'm not better. :P
-
*Performs CPR* I don't want to be a pester or anything but I just don't want this to die. *Performs CPR*

-
Done, finally.
CG's go, given Scarlet is inactive atm.
-
Oh armadillo, I forgot about this. :P
-
-_- I noticed...
-
You should have reminded me. :(
-
Added as a bookmark as another thing I have to do often. :P
-
Pent should take my turn, if I haven't been able to do this in a month then it's not going to happen. :P
-
OK, PENTY YOUR TURN!!!
-
Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! How long have I got? I'm on easter break now so I should have time anyways.
-
Well, if we go by how much every one else is getting than you have 2 months. :P
-
I was actually being sarcastic when I said two months. :P The sooner the better.
-
Yeah sorry, I'll try and get it done tomorrow. I'm writing something else at the moment though.
-
Yeah, that's fine. :) I'll skip to the next person in two more weeks if you don't get around to it though. :P
-
Umm so I think it might be best to skip me. Sorry guys.
-
*sigh* No problem.
-
Othko is away for the time being isn't he. When will he be back?
-
Damn, I didn't realize, it's technically been my turn all this time. :P I'll get something written and put it up if everyone's still interested in continuing this. :)
-
I'll happily do some more at some point :)
-
Done! :P So I was bored the other night and Death Nade reminded me about this, so here it is... finally.
-
BTW, should we take Scarlet off of the rota? She isn't really active anymore.
