I love western movies and book and thought that i would try such a thread here if there are an interrest. Anyone would be welcome to sign up. My only demands are that the writers have to show consideration to eachother and no one liners please. Don't need to write a novel though. Both new writers and experts are welcome.
The idea is for the thread to take place in Jarbidge, Nevada in the year of 1879. Jarbidge comes from a Nez Perce word "Jahabich." which means devil. It was their name for the nearby mountains, which they believed to be haunted by an evil giant. Or it might have been a Shoshone word "Tsawhawbitts," their word for "man-eating giant."
The first white men in the area were ranchers. Some raised horses and cattle. But large sheep herds began showing up in the 1850s. These ranchers supplied towns in Southern Idaho and Northern Nevada with meat and wool. There had always been legends about gold in the Jarbidge Mountains, but nobody had really looked for it.
If you are interrested you can write a profile here. My thoughts are that we create something together. Improvising is the word.
