Alright, so the idea of the game is this: I start off a story with one verse consisting of two sentences. The next poster continues the story in another two sentences, and so forth. This will go on for fifteen posts (Remember to number your posts so that we know where we are!) and the fifteenth poster will make a one to five sentence ending for the story. The poster after that starts a new chain story as poster 1.
RULES:
In addition to the above paragraph, here are the rules ~
1. You must stay on the same (general) line of thought as the poster above. This doesn't mean that you cannot make the story do something different, but you must respect the ideas of the poster above you - we need to make it so that everyone's post counts towards the story. (You can't do anything that nullifies the post above you)
EXAMPLE (of what not to do):
- Code: Select all
Poster 1: "Suddenly, the wind howled. Johnny got struck by lightning and died."
Poster 2: "Suddenly Johnny jumped back up. "I'm alright," he cried. "HAX!!" Dr. Hax cried, chucking a computer at Johnny."
2. If you want to, you can end a sentence mid-way using ellipses ("..."). The next storyteller will then continue the sentence where you left off. This counts towards the first poster's sentence count, and not the second's.
EXAMPLE (of how this should look):
- Code: Select all
Poster 1: "A big storm had brewed. The giant thunderhead rumbled and formed into the shape of..."
Poster 2: "... a giant moose! Jimothy ran for the woods. Little did he know that a ravenous raccoon had been following him."
3. You should always quote the post before yours, to avoid confusion.
If I add any more rules, they will be posted like this in blue, right here. So when in doubt, check here.
READY? SET? GO!
