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….

Isn't it just! I find I want to jump in all the time, but this was the first time I had the confidence to do it. And thank you. :)
My icon? YEAY! I won a prize! Thank you. I made it ages ago in the hope one day it would have a use. ;)And now I have found one!
I find this round robin thing has one draw back. I want to leave feedback all the time and I can't. It's making feel like a child taking sweets at the sweetshop and not paying or saying thank you.
Loved your bits in this too btw, your Bodie is a cunning, sexy little so and so. I love it. :)

Oh... I hope that's not how the virus is transmitted!
And you played with Borislav! Yay!

I thought we needed a bit of action, a bit of suspense, a bit of drama, a bit of angst. Have to have angst, even if it's just a smidgen.;P

Well... um... they could catch the cat and get an antidote made up, couldn't they? He may start to shiver soon. Eeks!
