Welcome to a game of Tag.

Ever have a great idea for a story and not know how to run with it? Ever enter a thread and wish it had developed differently? Like to see what other authors would do with your ideas? Up for something a little different that takes little commitment?

Then come play a game of Tag with us. One post is all that is required in each game you play. Play as often or as little as you like. Anything goes as long as it fits the story. Stories can be reality or fantasy; funny or poignant; It will be interesting to see how writers develop ideas without input from the originator.

This is a proposal for a story ideas composing of a series of four posts by four different authors. The rules are simple:

1. Four people sign up to play.

2. The pool of four players is posted in both the OOC and main threads.

3. A player is selected at random to be the first.

4. The first player posts a story idea with two character names, any setting any place or time it is all up to you to define as much as you wish or to leave it open if you prefer. Make sure to have a logical reason included for the two characters to interact. You are responsible for setting the tone for the story. No discussion of the story or sharing outlines between authors is allowed before posting. At the end of your post type the line:

TAG: (name of an author from pool)

5. The tagged author has to write a post based upon the first character listed in the previous post. At the end of your post type the line:

TAG: (one of the two remaining authors)

6. the tagged author is then charged with the story from the perspective of the second character named in the first post. Of course you end your post:

TAG: (remaining author)

7. The fourth author is charged with wrapping the story up.

8. A new pool will be solicited to start a new tale.

Sounds simple? okay then:

TAG : You're it!

Ok poohlive set the scene and provide two character names then tag one of the rest of us to write the start.


As soon as all four posts are complete we will select another group of four.

Ok, maybe I just didn't understand the job of the first person. All I was supposed to do was give two names and write up a setting and tone for the story? That's no real writing though...

So, I think I set up the tone and setting and situation pretty well, encompassing some writing into it. It is all there. I am sorry if I didn't understand it correctly. I think it works well though.

And gives plenty of room for the other authors to play and finish up what I started.
 
thats okay

I wasn't clear enough I guess... I meant for this to be a challenge thread.. and I disagree pooh, coming up with two characters and an idea for a story is very much part of writing. without those elements there is no story. I have no problem with what you came up with and am not suggesting any changes to this story. each group's story should develop differently.

My idea behind this thread was that the first post would set it up, without taking the viewpoint of either character, leaving those perspectives to be put in place by the second and third author. The fourth would have the tough task of pulling idea and characters together to form a complete story.

It is a work in progress and we should all enjoy. The person you tagged will have to develop along the first character listed, the next the other. The idea is to see what happens to the idea you have in your head when starting a story and see if what results is anything like your starting picture.
The challenge on the other end is being prepared to write outside of your personal comfort zone and fitting your thread to match the preceeding ones, leaving room for the other character and conclusion to be reached in a relatively short time.

Please if anyone has questions, feel free to pm me. I am sorry if I did not explain it clear enough.
 
2nd pool

1. DaddysAngel23
2. TheAutumnComes
3. fukensploogin
4. LitShark


I'll draw a number for a starter after Brit wraps up the first story. I will edit this post and post in the main thread then. Enjoy.
 
Will wrap things up a little later on today... :eek:
Won't keep you guys waiting too long ;)
 
please wait...

it is supposed to be random start as soon as brit finishes up the first one. I haven't drawn for start yet.
 
...*winces*...sorry to make you guys wait... :eek:
Spent ages working on the finish and my evil computer didn't save it....*growls*...will rewrite it today and post it up after work...
Sorry again...
 
Hate to dissapoint guys, but I'm afraid Britwitch is on vacation until next monday. I know she said she would post, but I don't think she found the time to finish up the story we were doing.

I don't know what you wanna do.
 
Ok will start the second group and close it down after that. can always try again another time. Everyone okay with that then?


If everything is still a go. I drew #2 for TheAutumnComes. please remember to set the story up without taking either characters perspective. leave that to the next two writers tagged.

the next person tagged gets to write the perspective of the first character listed. the taggee after that gets the other character's perspective. The last one wraps it all up. thanks.
