The Storytelling Game (10 words! Competitive!)

[barrie]

Geez, quit voting for my piece of crap story already! You all are just enabling my positive reinforcement addiction <vbg>

Seriously, this was a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be! I've been trying to think and I mean, I've taken creative writing classes so surely I've written a short story before, right? But I can't ever remember writing one.

Colin: you have a good eye/ear/whatever <g>, I wrote a whole long thing and got frustrated because I wasn't getting the tone on the screen that I heard in my head (yeah, I'm fucking loopy, all right!) and just snagged that bit to post but there is a lot more background on the characters (the ex-wife is completely paralyzed and speaks via computer and wants to listen in to Andy and Emily gettin it on)

Tricia: <blush> you got me! I didn't even realize I was doing that but, being a big QT fan, I almost undoubtedly stole (uhh, borrowed!) quite a bit from the Bruce Willis/Asian Chick thing. I have the Pulp Fiction soundtrack and that bit is on just before "son of a preacher man" or "girl you'll be a woman soon" or something, I can't remember. BUSTED!

[Tricia]

It's Quentin Tarantino baby.
Whats a Quentin Tarantino?

[barrie]

<really bad fake actor's voice> I do not know Tricia, what is a Quentin Tarantino?

[Tricia]

At least you didn't threaten to get medieval on our asses! Honey bunny! LOL

[dknight818]

crap, I'd better vote...

ok, fine work from all, loved all the stories, blah blah blah, HAVE to pick 2, like MK1 and CB1

Monkey and Collin. Yep. Hey, you all did well, but...I HAD to pick.

[Wendy]

Dammit, I missed story time! I'm sorry I wasn't here to join in Collin, but thank you for noticing!

At least I get to vote....CB1 and TW1. Yeah, that human personal stuff gets me everytime.

[Tricia]

Wendy!

Where were you!
If you don't show up next time we will beat you...
Okay, we'll beat you anyway!

We love you so!!!
heheh

[Wendy]

I was in therapy suffering from paranoid delusions that everyone was out to beat me.

[barrie]

At least now you know that they aren't paranoid delusions <g>

[Monkey]

Voting IS a bummer - and very difficult.

I enjoyed reading them all!

BUT if I HAVE to pick

1) CB1
2) TW1

Thanks - you folks are a hoot!

Monkey

[Tricia]

Monkey,
we will beat you too if you want.
We don't want anybody to feel left out!

[Tricia]

Collin, Iwrote my 'funny' story and left it on the non-voting forum.
Just for you baby!!!

If it's not funny don't blame me ... it's hard to force funniness!

[Collin]

The tallies are:

TW1: 5+5=10
CB1: 5+4=9
Barrie: 5+2=7
MK1: 5+2=7
HB1: 5+1=6
JS1: 5+1 = 6
DK1: 5+0=5
(If I'm wrong in my tally, point it out and laugh at me)

So, Tricia, send me a list of 6 words and I'm going to assign a theme for the next game. Values are going to be 1 pt. per word used and 5 pts. for sticking to the theme, plus votes. Number of votes depends on number of stories written. The sooner I get the words, the sooner we'll start the next round.

[barrie]

I can't wait to play the next one but I wanna divide my votes or points or whatever between Collin and Heather. I would give some to Tricia but that bitch won anyway <fbg>

Seriously, everyone's stories were SOOOO much better than mine! It was incredibly sweet of you all to vote for me and make me all included and special and stuff but Collin and Heather should get my points

[Monkey]

CONGRATS to all winners - you folks are a lot of fun - have a lot of talent - and are a great buncha people!
