On some of the other boards there have been threads where people post parts of a story someone starts..but they usually just fade away into never never lost thread land.

I thought-since we all read (or we wouldn't be here) I expect some of us are frustrated writers too.

Right now I'm just looking for any interest in this topic- a group short story.

I could come up with a general plot and main characters but it would mostly be free flowing ad hoc stuff.

Start it in January perhaps?

Comments? Interest? Lame idea?

I vote YES!!!

Can we have that cute little Scottish Terrorist at the center of the plot?

I've never done one, but I'm willing to give it a try.

Do we have to stick to a plot, or can we just go off on a tangent? Does everybody write a paragraph?

As you can see, I'm totally ignorant, which could make for a very interesting story.

I think that, if we actually want a STORY, it has to have a basic plot to guide it, other wise it would just end up fading away.

And I think we should each write what we want to write, with the stipulation that we have to end our page with something for the next author to build on. Sure you could go off on a tangent, introduce characters as a sub plot and have fun--thats the whole point with it!

I was in an online writing group that used to do this 4 times a year-each 'story' had a 3 month limit and we had an editor who would proof our submissions, we each went in order etc-but thats not what I'm looking for here. We had some great stories come out of that writing group and what is most fun is it gets the creative juices flowing and maybe we will sit down and write for ourselves also!

And Fiona would love to be a part of it. Glad you are too j8a
