Hmmmm.
The last few stories have been... well, utter disasters. This is usually to do with something I've done. :0D
Sorry.
I really hope the next one we do will be a bit more popular... but it's pointless starting it unless we at least find out why people aren't writing.
Is it building up too quickly, too much to read? That could be sorted to limiting the posting... I suppose...
Not enough time?
Or, as I suspect, crap plots? :0D
Yeah, sorry once again about that. Getting up my own arss trying to keep the story as one long story... and forgetting that's it much more fun just to write a story. Limitations, you see. That's why it was so much fun the first stories, and crap now. My fault again, sorry. :0)
*cough*... err... not really getting anywhere with this.
Who wants to start the next story? I sure as hell don't. :0)

They haven't had the chance. Story writing is a long business. Especially with one at a time.

"Hmmm. No, don't start it Salevaa, not really that fair considering there have been people two years here who haven't started a story and want to..."
Mmm - I'm a bit peeved (not at you Grix), but I suppose that is fair. One question: Why haven't they started the story already? They've been here 700 days+ and haven't started one?
"The amount of writers we have could also be a problem. As Meka said, a major problem is that there are too many posts. If we have so many writers, even limiting them all to one post a day would be too much.
So we'd probably have to limit writers as well... which, my God, is a dying shame."
Yep - too many people willing, and as you said, there are people who have waited longer than me. I really hope that one day I can write with the best of them. Stryke said that my first story was "average" (despite the way he said it in), which did disappoint me - but I can only improve, right? I will pursue this in due course - as in a few months.

We've always had problems with that. :0) Most famous of all was Sn@ke, which is why Pb created Mongoose Man.
Those were the days... ah yes... :0)

I can't really answer you, as I don't have any authority on my own, and making a decision on my own may upset other writers.
So I won't. Ask Ant instead.

So make a list, I'd imagine, of people who are allowed. I know you got some problems with a newbie posting two stories ago.

"Wait. I don't think you should be allowed to help."
In all fairness and in no attempt to be rude, do you mind terribly if I ask why?
"I'm not sure I should be allowed, even though Grix did offer."
So you do story-write eh? Got any story links I can read or any material to send over MSN. I'll go and have a talk with Grix, Ant or Pb, or all three. GRIX, ANT, PB - if you're reading this - please respond. Can I help you in writing your story? Thanks. Mark.

And, yes, I'm alright at story writing. Check out All That Was in Prime at the moment. There's been a few by me, but the best are the Newbie Menace ones in Archive. And Ali Boy's Diary.
Wait. I don't think you should be allowed to help. I'm not sure I should be allowed, even though Grix did offer.
"I say let Ant start it. He's one of the best story writers on here. Sally, I read Hacquerz, or whatever the name was, so don't despair. But Ant's a better writer."
Ok - I am trying to contact Ant, Grix and Pb, but no luck. Rasta won't tell me Pb's MSN, Ant is offline and I don't know Grix's. So, you're saying my story was Ok? Together, me, Ant, Pb and Grix could rule the world I tell ye! Stryke - you any good at story-writing? Oh, and thanks.
