Round Robin
Welcome to the next DiaLJ challenge. This time we're going for something a little bit different…
A Round Robin.
To those of you not in the know, a Round Robin is basically a joint story writing enterprise. In a few moments, I will post the first paragraph of, what I hope will prove to be, a communal magnum opus. *g*
Your task will then be to contribute, moving the story along to what generally turns out to be an unlikely and ridiculous conclusion.
Rules are this….
1. Only one section at a time, please, posted as a comment under the original post with one section equalling approx. 200 words. Less is fine, more could be problematic. Remember we're going for frequent changes here, not one person trying to complete the entire tale.
2. It might be that you post your 200 words just as someone else does, but to avoid it getting confusing all we can say is - hard luck. Please delete your contribution and try again with another section, otherwise it'll get confusing.
3. To that end, please *please* check where the story has got to before you contribute and follow on from the last comment/section written.
4. Please no story hogging! Only one contribution per person in a row!
5. The mod - that's me *g* - has the final say in the event of any confusion or problems.
This challenge will run until the 2nd of February, however if the first story stalls out, one of the mods will begin another. And if it proves popular, we can run it for a little longer.
Sound like fun? Then get your writing hats on, cos here it comes….

But I've gone and given it my best shot. :-p It's always good to try new things, right?

But there's no saying those can't show up later, right? ;-)
I keep checking back to see if anyone else is going to post. This could get addictive! I wanna know what happens next!

*waits for someone to write the next bit...*

*patiently, honest*

But I promised myself I'd let other people write. One post a day. No hogging. That's my limit, and I'm sticking to it.
Besides, that gives me all night to try to figure out how to work in a streaker. Because naked people always make every story better. Them, and zombies. Zombies also improve stories. ;-)
