This is an easy one! We all love to write, that's for sure.

It's simple too, just write a short piece of dialogue. Don't make it really lengthy, you aren't writing a story, you're just writing a short piece of dialogue. The parameters are easy, too. Just put submission or discussion in the subject line (thanks Daughter!) and write a little bit of dialogue. Write quickly and don't revise it. There should be at least three people in the conversation. You can't use tag words, ie "said" and its ilk. I'll give you the first line, and you take it from there.

Here you go:

"They're all like that, aren't they"
 
submission

"Sure, but they have good reason to be"
"In a situation like that. What else could you do?"
 
Submission

"They're all like that, aren't they"

"Yes, the clitoris is generally a hard little nob like this. Do you wanna touch it?"

"Can I?"

"Yeah... just be gentle."

"What about me?"

"Mmm... why don't you stand here next to me and use your tongue on my nipples."

"Did you know there's some wet stuff coming out of your--uhm--thing?"

"Oh yes, honey. That's perfectly normal. It feels really slick doesn't it?"

"Uh huh."

"It can be really tasty too. Here, let me hold this open and you can taste it yourself. OHhhh.. that's a good boy."


Gawd... now I'm getting carried away... LOL

"Damn, guys who's the nut gibbering to himself about nipples? Why did we come to this bar"?
 
"He's that tranny that moved into town last month. Haven't you heard?"
 
"Sad thing is, one of us will probably end up going home with him tonight."
 
submission

"Correct me if I am wrong but, I thought we came to this bar to see nipples?"

"Well, we did. That and to oogle the men who come here too."

"The tranny, is that your idea of a man? Who let him in anyway?"
 
submission

I'd like to get laid but I'm not that desperate. Prenup, huh? You'd think by the second time round I would have thought about doing that.

(((shrugs)))

"Well, don't feel bad. You'd think by the third time around I would have made HIM pay ME upfront!"

"Hell, it's been so long since I've gotten laid the tranny's looking mighty fine and I'm ready to rip off my blouse and show ya MY nipples!"

submission

"Ladies, ladies. Hold up. We bust our asses all day behind our big girl desks, and we common in here and act like the local whores?"
 
submission

"What? The lap dance? Go on, girl! I dare ya! Maybe Tranny Tim will give you one."

so much for subtleties. KM, I think you're right. All women are horney wenches! LOL
 
Submission

"Uh, any of you ladies want to order a drink?"

"There are plenty of men around here to order drinks *for* them; why would they want to order their own?"

"Ever had a French Martini?"

"No, but I had a French Maid once! She liked it right up her..."

"T.M.I."

submission (& some discussion)

"They're all like that, aren't they"

"Every. Last. Fucking. One. ...at least that I've met."

"Makes you wonder, doesn't it"

"How they get that way?"

"How they get any, I meant. But your question's probably more interesting."

"Hehe ... I like yours better. But seriously, I think it would have to be 'cause they ... hmm ... what's that word I'm looking for?"





moving to discussion ...

Interesting exercise KillerMuffin. Reading through dialogue like that I'm always frustrated when I can't distinguish between the speakers without having names. I think I'm going to have to start looking at how that is done cleanly (and poorly) in more detail from now on. And then there's the question of making it involving so you want to know what's going to be said next ;-)

KM--

Maybe I'm not understanding the directions. Is each player writing dialogue for several characters each submission?

I read it to mean that we respond to each other and do so in such a way that a previous speaker is referenced and the dialogue makes sense, that we are having a continuing dialogue amongst ourselves. That is how I have been replying.

Some are creating separate scenarios that I don't easily see continuing the thread as a whole.

Just re-read the directions. Duh. I was thinking more of SRP's format.

((d wiping egg from face))

Peace,

submission (revised)

[I didn't read the original post well enough either -- I missed the bit about having three characters. That makes the issue of differentiation even more difficult. Hmmm let's see ... ]

"They're all like that, aren't they"

"Every. Last. Fucking. One. ...at least that I've met."

"You two have such stories. Even though some are bad, I still wish my life was a little more filled with life."

"Be lucky you haven't met all of my past 'victories' ... Ha. What a laugh."

"Makes you wonder, doesn't it"

"How they get that way? Or how you two end up with them?"

"How they get any, I meant. But your question's probably more interesting."

"Let me tell you what I think. And I'm talking from serious experience. I think it would have to be 'cause they ... hmm ... what's that word I'm looking for? Booze always makes my writing side dry up. The irony of that kills me."

"Uh, you are talking about her breast right?"

"Doesn't fit into a cup - GOOD ONE!"

"Yeah - I'm talking about her breast..."

"You know, she's kinda hot! I wouldn't blow her off like that."

"She's hot? You like your's pleasently plump, don't you?"

"Ah, shut the fuck up, she ain't that bad."

"Hehehe... Well, she doesn't fit into a cup! HAHAHAHAH!"
 
"Er... who's like that? Um... Uh... Gentlemen? Every last one of whom? I'm not getting any answers..."
 
submission

"Hey girls, why don't you take a look at what the cat just drug in."

"Hmmm... Not too shabby."

"Oh, I do agree! Look at the one on the left. Woowee! I bet he's loaded!"

"Down girls, down! I see 'em first."

"Hey, don't be greedy chickie! There's enough for all of us."

"True, so ummm, why don't you girls sit back and let me show you how to get the cream of the crop."
