Round Robin Feedback post

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oops, meant to make this post for people to feedback to the round robin story days ago... But now you have 31 parts of the story to think about and comment on! And surely we're barely halfway? Feel free to give feedback to the writers here - and don't forget to Track the story post so that you can keep an eye on what's going on...

Anyone who would like to contribute is more than welcome to jump in at any time - each post around 200 words, and following on from the last one made! The more the more bizarre merrier, right?

The plan right now is to run until Friday 9th... although we don't really have to clear off until the 21st... *g*

Just wanted to say that I'm enjoying the heck out of this, and that everyone's contributions have been highly entertaining. I'm also particularly enjoying the fact that some folks who don't normally write are taking the plunge, as well as many whom I already admire highly.

Slantedlight - Dr. Strangelove is one of my all time favorite movies (along with Brother Where Art Thou and Shawn of the Dead). I was so tickled that you put in a reference! I keep seeing the good Dr. struggling to control his evil Nazi hand. And the president trying to explain the nuclear crisis to a drunken Russian premier! Now I need to go watch that again... it's got a plot that could have been constructed via round robin as well.

Not to mention, the brief summary of the hanging plot threads was very helpful, too. You only forgot the dead groom and Pellingham-the-spy and MI6.

;-)

Well, I didn't forget, per se, more sort of - thought Doyle might be a bit more focussed on the things that might be turning Bodie a bit funny... *g* I mean, what's MI6 and George Cowley in the face of zombies and graveyards, eh?

Glad you enjoyed Strangelove...

[msmoat.livejournal.com]

Thanks for providing this space. I'm on the sidelines for this one, but it's been entertaining to watch. I commend everyone's...inventiveness! *g* Carry on, please!

Go on, who's next? *g*

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Wait! What? What do you mean you're on the sidelines for this one? What are you doing all the way over there? Don't be shy of the ...inventiveness! Come be briefly... inventive..! Could be quite liberating... ("No, no, they made me write zombie cats...") *g*

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

You're next, of course! C'mon! :-D

(I mean, geez, I've been doing my best, but I can hardly post back-to-back, can I?)

To Byslantedlight

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to say, nice job with trying to tie all the tangled threads together!

And Doyle's asking some great questions. :-)

Re: To Byslantedlight

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Lol - well, I've been told that trying to pull these things together never really works, and I can see that's true! Now there are defence plans to play with as well..! I rather think I shall watch for a while again... *g*

Ooh, thank you callistosh65 Protectiveness kink! *g*

Re: Part 35

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

I do have a soft spot for a slightly wobbly Bodie and a protective Doyle.*g*

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Boris!!!

*sob*

Re: Part 37 by crimson_37

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Um... the next bit has not been written yet, honey! Let's wait and see shall we. ;)

*Gives consoling hug*

Part 38

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Yay, Borislav lives!

But... oh, poor Bodie! Is it wrong that I take such pleasure in his suffering?

And who is Borislav taking them to meet? Does Borislav have the virus himself? After all, he did react strongly to the light... Hmm... And how far away should they be when the building explodes? If Doyle takes his time, maybe he can get the drop on Boris when it happens. And Cowley won't be happy that he let the defense plans go...

I'm seriously starting to wonder if Boris is an UNCLE agent - or a THRUSH agent! Or possibly working for Dr. Evil. Very intriguing!

Part 38

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

yup Borislav lives ... but I think Ray is going to get *very* cross with him soon. And um... sorry, couldn't resist a smoking gun. And as for Bodie ... make him suffer, I say :-)

Re: Part 38

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Heck, I'm still chuckling over Tiddles, Jojo - I *had* to write a Tiddles ref in each part I wrote after you first mentioned him. *g*

[ereini0n.livejournal.com]

This is the scariest story ever! And I love it! It's so exciting to see all kinds of writers with different writing stiles.... Really looking forward for more :)

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Now this good to hear. :)Thanks from all of us.

Um... fancy joining in? I mean it's not you like you haven't been keeping up with the story, and the more the merrier.

Part 40, by Crimson_37

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to say that I loved your frantic Doyle, especially the way he ignores Borislav until he's actually threatening Bodie.
:-)

Re: Part 40, by Crimson_37

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm just worried about this incubation thing. They don't mean inside Bodie, do they?

I loved your disoriented Bodie. :)

I was waiting for him to break free of his bonds and defend Doyle. Especially once he had heard Ray demanding to be let go, and then Borislav threatening to 'dispose' off him.
Could just imagine a wounded Bodie being simular to a wounded Tiger, can't you. Particularly, when it is defending its...

Part 42, by Jojosimco

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Somehow I suspect they're not talking about a fluffy yellow chick when they say "it's incubating". ;->

Eee! Sick Bodie, half-frozen Ray... I love the addition of the mortuary truck!

Re: Part 42, by Jojosimco

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Great stuff - you moved it along beautifully! And yes, yikes, that "incubating" has a very X-Files tone to it, doesn't it?

Re: Part 43 -EH

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Heh-heh! And we sucked another into the Pros vortex - just couldn't look over Rebel's shoulder anymore, eh? Welcome to the party, Elizabeth, and my God, Bodie, feathers and a Maori - I admire where your mind goes.*g*

Re: Part 43 -EH

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Isn't she great? And I just read yours! Great set-up! I'll have to figure out what happens to Doyle now...

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Not that I’m complaining!

But I started wondering how we got to where we did in this story. So, a recap seems to be in order!

Plus, this might encourage people who are feeling a little overwhelmed by the plot intricacies, weirdness, you know, it all depends on your perspective.

So… how’s it all going to come together? Plot twists welcomed! Just remember, by the end these poor boys need to get sex. Especially Bodie!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Well, after all of this do you think the poor loves will still be able to get it up? They might just settle for a cuddle? What do you reckon? ;)

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Okay, someone please add something.., or I'm gonna :gulp: think I killed it..*g*

[(Anonymous)]

I'm thinking, I'm thinking ... I'm thinking I love Mick the Blue Maori but I don't know what to do with him! Hold on a minute, let me re-fill my hottie and I'll try again *g*

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

oh sorry, that was me ... whoops, forgot to log in. It's the "snow" y'know, makes me crazy.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Yay!! loved it - and you got Tiddles in there again..!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I just nearly peed myself at Rebel's new bit - *so* funny- poor Bodie, I know, but God that was a hoot!

guffaws

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

*guffaws* :0)

Part 55

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

There! All loose ends tied up in one very tangled knot. Now it's up to you guys to get them out of there and home, where they can all have mad passionate sex.

It's entirely your decision whether Victor, Jax, Borislav, Vladimir-the-Cat, Tiddles-the-Paddington-Station-Cat, Cowley, Mick-the-blue-Maori, or anyone else joins in the celebratory orgy.

Re: Part 55

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

what, so Vladimir-the-cat didn't get blown into smithereens at the Pondham-Thingy-Thingy's?? And did I miss the zombies? What do you mean, "all loose ends tied up"!? ;-)

The End

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

So is the idea that the person who *thinks* they've rounded things off nicely (or is desperately trying to choke the thing to death before their head explodes) writes THE END at ... the end? And then it's the end .... (Not that I'm saying I'm going to do that or anything)*g*

Re: The End

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

I think whoever writes Bodie and Doyle's simultaneous orgasm gets to end it.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

So, you know, technically the 9th should have been the end of the round robin, but I'm thinking that it's not quite finished yet..? And that y'all might like an extension? *g*

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

You should post something! To help wrap it up, like. ;-)

And thanks for the reminder about the 9th! Is that why no one has posted? I thought maybe EH and I had finally managed to kill the birdie.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Smn help my plot-impaired brain and I'll post smth, really I will! But I need a name - just give me a name for who this familiar voice could be.*g*

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Some kind of boss - head of the multinational (or at least the local chapter), I presume. We heard his voice before. He was telling Borislav and Mick what to do. So, Borislav and Mick are temp employees. This guy's the actual baddie - although to be fair, he's really only working for the Russians.

I expect I'll post something today or tomorrow morning. As will EH, most likely.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Edit - Darn it, I'm comment-challenged today - sorry!

Well done that Callisto, just in the nick of time! I think we'll call it a close with that contribution - excellent final line (even if they never did get to have sex...)

The next challenge goes up today, but this means I can run a RoundRobin Finished post first! I've compiled all the bits too, so I'll link to the full story... Hope you're all tracking this post, so you can see what's happened (except for the fact that if you are, you'll have got 3 email notifications for this comment - sorry...)

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Seconding the congrats to Callisto! Wonderful ending! Doyle's nightmare made me giggle.

And I love the idea of Cowley barking that at them just as they're locking lips. Heh. I'm guessing he's known for a long time.

So... *taps fingers impatiently* What's the next challenge? Huh? Huh?

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Well done everyone. I had such fun too - mad as it was.

Thank you!
