Thanks. I may have to give that honor to MyTatuo since he painted me into a caption corner with YOU just a second ago.  |

Thanks. I may have to give that honor to MyTatuo since he painted me into a caption corner with YOU just a second ago. Yep, I just read it. And he kids me about being literal around here. But, I've gotten better and haven't done it too much (at least on boards). |

So are you going to join the story thread, MyTatuo?

Yes, but not at the rate you two were going at it. I'm afraid I'll work up some great contribution, and HD will have posted before me and blown it all to hell...

That is why we are having the two post wait rule...and MelMac WAS kicking around the idea to have people post the WIP idea so people would know to wait.

I've done that several times with my longer screencaps, such as the commercial one I did. Two reasons, one the stated above, and two, if, heaven forbid, you computer decides to crash into a train, you don't lose what you wrote. And, since the moves should end </move>, people won't post until you're done. |

We will see come story time. In writing I'm verbose, not too literal (well, maybe a little given the one I've just written). But, I'll try my best to not drive anyone directionally crazy. (again ) |

<move>
Wait, I'm not done!

Oh yeah, I forgot. What was this story about again?

ROTFL guys, good grief, here I am trying to help get this one on a good start, and people are spoofing my ideas again. (Maybe I am a Maniac in a closet, in regard to his tough guy persona).  But, and I know this' literal, the time frame is for most of the story (posts). If necessary, the closing will be after the last day, March 3. It'd still have the <final move for story> and THE END like the last one. |

Unfortunately, I'm not nearly as verbose as either of you, but if I can atleast post my idea, then not stress out over hurrying to get my post done, it'll save my poor nerve-racked soul. |

I like the idea of WIP as long as people go back and delete it when they are done posting their move. We don't want anything bad happening to Lauren's soul now do we? |

And, we've fixed the word limit to a number of sentence. I tried it with the first post, and it works. Main reason was so I didn't go posting another 4,500 word move like the last one was. |

[ ] Yes, I think we'll all be happy when billswoman starts making new screencaps again. HD's jest 'bout worn out this series of Bill pics. |

I know...if I could use other captions, but a lot of people either just make them as they need them or have private photobucket accounts. I try to use different ones if possible, but some are too good to pass up. |

Since it's about a week and a half until the story starts as of this post, does anyone have any other ideas on rules for this one that I might be missing? I've gotten most of the other ones written down, but there's still time to voice an idea on them. Then, Jan. 2, I'll post the rules and the first move of the story. Any ideas would be appreciated, as this is the first round robin I've planned. |
