Let's Write a Story Together, One Sentence at a Time!
Posted: Wed May 20, 2015 5:43 pm
I think this forum needs more silly forum game-type things. So I'll start one. Let's do the classic "everyone continues a story" thing. I'll start:
It was only very recently that I realized, thinking back to that critical day, that the advice I had been given was perhaps not optimal.
Respond!
(I fully expect the story to descend into crackfic/humor/glowfic in-jokes, but I figured I'd at least allow for the potential to avoid that for a little while.)
Rules should be obvious. Post your sentence in bold and on a new line. Try not to react to other people's contributions without posting one yourself (and if you comment while also submitting a sentence, try to make the comment shorter, or at least not much longer, than the sentence itself). You're encouraged to post quickly rather than overthinking.
Typical forum etiquette for these sorts of things is to not post unless at least two other people have posted in the intervening time since the last time you posted. This is to prevent the game from turning into a back-and-forth between two people. It seems like a good starting point, and we can callibrate the two-intervening-posts limit up or down if necessary.
