Round Robin
Well, the Round Robin has come to a timely (for reasons you'll see shortly) end - thank you to everyone who contributed!
The entire story can be found here: Round Robin 2007 at the moment, and of course individual contributions are in the post below.
As of right now, the only overall editing that has been done has been a quick check for typos and making the spelling consistently British. I'm sure I've missed things, so any comments suggesting similar edits (but not plot, please!) will be gratefully received below - and hopefully the individual authors will respond if a comment concerns their contribution, so that a decision can be made whether to accept the suggested edit or not!
Also - we need a title! Please comment below with suggestions for that too, and we will try to come up with a consensus choice!
It might also be useful to have a pseudonym for posting at the archives, rather than trying to have it listed under every individual name - what do authors think of this? Individual authors could still be credited in a Note (and I think should be). Would you be happy to use "Dialj" as a pseud? Or does anyone have a much better idea (that all authors would have to agree with, please!)?
Once the title, pseud and edits are agreed, I'll post the final link to various Pros comms, and send it to the archivists as well, if everyone is happy with that.
And finally - a big hurrah for everyone who contributed. Keeping up has been alot of fun, and the final word count is over 13 000!

Anyway, feel free to change/correct anything you like in my contributions! "Stacked like firewood" is one of mine, I think. And it sounds fine to me.
Edit-y stuff... I'm not sure all the breaks are in quite the right places. There's a few bits I noticed that seem to chunk together bits that ought to be separate in a timeline sense, such as where Doyle's dabbing at the scratch on Bodie's face. That can't come right after the cat attack, if it's the umpteenth time he's asked if Bodie's okay.
Would it be easier to put the little graphic break things between each contribution? Or would that make it too choppy?
Just to make life more difficult you know... ;-)
Title... um, what about something to do with Tiddles? Chasing Tiddles? ;-) I'm rotten at titles.

Alternatively:
The Story of a Fierce Bad Cat
The Tale of One Bad Cat
(But I think I like yours best!)

Yeah, the breaks were a rush-job this morning (I'm supposed to be writing a proposal!), I had a feeling I'd probably missed a bunch of those. I'll go back and check again when I get a chance. I deliberately didn't put in a break between each contribution to make it more of a story and less of a round robin, but if people would prefer it the other way around..?
