Round Robin

[empty-mirrors.livejournal.com]

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….

Whee! I think I managed to get mine in without clashing - & I got to elucidate. I've always wanted to do that:)

Can't wait for the streaking zombie, Rebel!

Wot? You mean you actually want...

Things were proceeding in a predictable manner, when suddenly there was a renewed commotion from the far end of the room.

"He's alive!" screamed a woman.

Doyle and Bodie rushed forward just in time to see the groom sit up. It might have been a relief except his expression was disturbing blank, his head was canted to one side, and he was drooling.

Ignoring the doctor's attempts to make his lie back down, the groom stood.

"What's he doing?" asked Bodie, baffled.

"He's...," Doyle stared. "He's..."

"What!"

"He's getting naked!"

So far I've been trying to be good, and go with the overall theme and atmosphere established in the beginning. I'll only resort to this if I get desperate. ;-)

Well, you know, you could go down the parallel universe route with this. I think it definitely has promise, in a weird, late-at-night kind of way.

It would be worth it, just to see where it (the story or the zombie!) ends up :)

I'll leave that decision up to the mods! ;-) Besides, I already wrote my bit. Both bits, actually.

C'mon, it's your turn!
