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)

No beardy crap.
You know it wasn't long ago we tried the orc's and stuff, looking for a magic sword.
Remember Safety conscious Neville?
Then it kind of went off on a time travel thing, and got confusing.
I's like to see a Lost in Space (TV show) type thing. That could be good.

The Discworld would be a good idea. Well done, O Knight of Goodkind.
Got carried away...dammit. When should I have stopped?

I agree with Venom.
The last few stories have been to "It's all set in Snipers mind, which is actually a megadrive csrtridge. Oh no, he's really asleep, or is it all real anyway?" Type thing.
Too confusing, had to keep re-reading it and, frankly, couldn't be bothered, so I gave up.
I think before the next story is started, there should be a different thread. This one will just have the outlines of the story, who's a good guy, who's a bad guy, and the ultimate aim of the group, like kill the evil king, or retrieve some amulet or whatever.
The writers can then follow that basic guideline, and still have little subplots/missions on the way. I know Grix doesn't want too much set in stone, as the writer doesn't have the freedom, but to much freedom can be just as bad...
I'd go along with a kind of tongue-in-cheek fantasy type thing, maybe along the lines on the Discworld?
Anyway, count me in.

Woohoo! If that offer's still open to join the writers, Grix, and it's about pixies and orcs and goblins and beards, then I'll help, gladly.
I have always wanted to write for the story, its just for the last few (since my 'and er-no ran in and killed everyone' posts) everytime I catch up I think of something good only ten minutes later to see two more posts completely confuse me and make my continuing plot worthless.

I need to say my last 4 entries were superb :)
OF course they were my only four.

ouch! Venom, stop it! ;-)
Yeah, middle earth stuff is in at the moment, but it should definately NOT be straight faced.

Agree with everything you say Venom... you barsteward. :0D
You and Pb should fight to the death to start the next story.
Well, maybe not death.
Just talk to each other then.

I think a good idea would be to give a story a good beginning, and write a decent middle before the superb enfd but that's just me... :D
Seriously though, I think if we collect all the characters, and write in an objective (save princess / stop bad-guy / rescue race of people) we can fill the middle in well without straying too much... it'd still be flexible, but the long term objectives for the character would gently veer writes in the right direction.
