(sorry for the boring title, couldn't come up with a better one)

Its a really funny read, but it got me thinking. What if we were to try something like this with the members of SWF?

Its a very simple premise. You guys sign up for this, I randomly pair you up, and then you write a story one paragraph at a time. I may or may not offer a prompt, still not sure just yet.


Sound interesting?

that was a funny read.

I'm down if more people are down.

we could do it over pm's
and I get the need for an instructor-like overseer, would you be taking that role if you're already going to be pairing people up?

If it becomes a necessity then yeah I'm fine with stepping back and overseeing, but actually I think it'll work best if everyone's just left to their own devices.

I guess each team can just make a thread and submit posts within it rather than submitting it to any particular person.

That could work too, I actually hadn't thought about what medium would be best for it. Thread would be nice since everyone could follow each story from the start.

I think over thread would be a better idea. I'd be down for this, but I doubt you'll get a lot of people for this (us 3 is what I can think of lol), or you could go to UB, but I think the quality would dwindle quite some.

Count me and my broken Engish in?

I'm... not entirely sure you're not an adbot.

Oh man an adbot would probably be the most fun to write a story with. You're in, no one ban him.


Just a heads up, I'll be getting everything for this underway this Saturday. Possibly sooner!

Pairings are finished, tomorrow I will decide if we're going to randomly pick people to start or if I'll just leave it up to you guys. I will ask that you not discuss any potential ideas with your partner unless it is actually happening in thread (I'm going to make a bunch of threads for you guys tomorrow)

and it just occurred to me, should we make it a rule to not have anyone comment with any post until the story has been deemed finished by the two writers
