@asmaahsan and Bighuey. Guys, we're not advancing the story. Nothing's moving. May I suggest, with all due respect,asmaahsan wrote:The fight had gone on all afternoon until we decided to call it a day and retired to our tents.
that we take the information we get from the last post and incorporate it into the next post so that there is
a continuum. And movement toward an end, which is where all good stories end up. Hopefully sooner than later.
For example, the forum member who starts the story is responsible for its conclusion. anytime he sees a post
that is either nonsense or deviates significantly from his story line, he has to "right the ship" and get things back on track. Lets say I'm writing a story about Bonnie and Clyde and the famous end they met. it would go something like
this:
1. They meet in a small town in Texas, where there from.
2. They fall in love and get married.
3. They rob banks to support themselves and their extended family.
4. A robbery in Kansas goes bad. 3 of the gang die and 2 need medical attention to heal their
wounds. They're stuck in a hotel, running out of food, ammo, and money. Clyde knows its their last stand. What to do?
5. Here's my ending. The Kansas State Patrol is staged in a town 30 miles away. They're waiting for the FBI to show up.
When they do they'll combine forces and wipe B and C out.
6. Clyde attacks first. Law enforcement has no idea what Bonnie or any other female in the gang look like. No one does.
The four ladies dress up and drive into the town to go dancing. The "Staties"haven't gotten any since TR was President.
The ladies dance all night and end up in bed, each with her own trooper. After they've shed their uniforms, the ladies
take them and two cop cars and leave the town with them and the rest of the gang.
7. They cross the Border into Mexico the next day, and live happily ever after. They've still got the staties uniforms.
This is a very rough outline of what I'm talking about. In 7 posts they went from newlyweds to anonymity in Mexico.
THE END Whadya think my poet laureates?
Why not: Because crazy people don't think they're crazy.

the story isn't moving because I was busy on the weekend. I have a life too you know.

Let the story go the way it's progressing. It's ok to have some random fun.

Hi Maud, welcome. I am a female here and I am having real fun reading the inside of a guys mind.

We hurried inside but were too late - the pistol was now headed towards area 89, the rendezvous point of aliens from planet nunu on their last visit to the planet, in the hope to find some alien allies.Bighuey wrote:The next morning, we reached the bottom of the elevator shaft to find the door open and two of the pistol's thugs waiting for us, but as Monk, one of Doc Savage's men had devised special chemical guns that would dissolve anyone we fired at, we shot them point-blank and they instantly turned into green goo.

Area 89, things were getting serious and we knew we would need reinforcements so we contacted the Japanese government to see if we could get Godzilla as a backup, and went to a rendevous point on Monster Island to regroup and make plans to invade Area 89.

The doctor questioned him deeply until he broke down, crying hysterically, asking to write an essay of 100000 words, 'I will be a good boy' as his teacher made him write in school, revealing another reason for his hatred of paper.
