I thought this might be fun for some people. My goal is to let all users of the Escapist contribute to the generation of a story that has no plot, main characters, or direction. I want to see where it goes, and what ends up happening.
The following are not parameters, but suggestions:
-No Novels: Posts shouldn't be more than a few sentences, a paragraph at the most. This is because I don't want somebody who had the same idea as you be left out because you posted a 500 word essay about absolutely nothing in particular.
-Keep It Clean: I don't want any posts to be particularly vulgar. You can post a hardcore porn scene if you want, but that's not what this thread is about. This also includes slurs and sailor-talk used sparingly.
-Pictures: Should be kept in spoilers so they won't clutter the page.
-Style: You don't have to be grammatically correct, but use capitals and sentences and punctuation as if you were writing a real story.
The following is a parameter:
-No Trolling: I beseech upon all honest posters that they may report any post that they find to possess any of the qualities of a troll post. I will probably take part in this myself.
I want this to be fun for everybody, so don't be jerk.
Now to start:
John was lost in the forest. It was a particularly ugly forest where the bacon cleaners were unlike any other windows the youngsters had ever seen. Everything was happy and the sleepy town of M'ghel'Dur'Kish was prosperous. That was when the hex shows up.
