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!

(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)

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.

So, we need to all decide a theme/genre. I propose either Fantasy/Medieval or Sci-fi/Futuristic.

I'm up for it but it'll be dreadful/ will take forever and therefore you might not want me to be so :P
like a bruise that would never go away, but she would cherish it for ever.

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.  :)

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.
