PFL has started a new story thread.

read ours

then decide if you would like to join it, or begin one here, or both :smile:

:biggrin: fun, fun, fun! :biggrin:

Ok, as long as we do it like this:

One guy starts off with 3 words, example: Once upon a...

A second continues his post like this: Once upon a time there was... [color=red][/color]The next guy goes: Once upon a time there was a little monkey... So the new words are added in red and everyone writes the whole story in the post to keep track. Otherwise it will just get messy.

i think thats just a bit to creatively restricting bud, i would be completely happy if everyone just stayed on topic.. the amount of added words is unimportant.

but staying true is a must.

read our story, it sways a bit, but its funny as hell.

here is an excerpt from ours:



"I think our work here is done" said Orpheus. But fate, it seems, had other plans - because at that moment, the delivery men from Hogan's Hoagies pulled up with what looked like a 24 foot hoagie. Only, it wasn't a hoagie, it was a...sandwich made out of...... "RUBBER CHICKEN BREAST LIKE PIECES" Alien_Sniper gasps, and immediately searches thru his Irish version of a ditty bag only to discover that Norm was missing,..While all of this was going on, and not known to the crowds of Pole Lovers, something was making it's way up the street, it walked slowly and limped and groaned, it's teeth razor sharpe, its eyes red with fire, and it's head shaped like ........ the pointy end of doc brasso's elbow.
the creature in question stalks slowly up to the unsuspecting crowd, but just as its about to attack, a noise from under an upturned trash can draws its attention... suddenly..

Well, that sure is creative. 20 words then, as long as you have trhe whole story in your post and the words you added in red.

Oh god not again.

why? you plan on being one of the children who will screw this one up too?

the last snarkpit story went well, if we omitted the kids additions, i believe this one would be just as fun/exciting, if everyone participated, and did so in a mature/creative way.

if you plan on being the weak link in this adventure, please stay out of it.

i would rather have you as part of the story, but i also hate deleting entries... i really shouldn't have to.

That obnoxious twirling smiley face avatar fits the bill perfectly.

Go on Orph, start a new thread for it if you wish.

if i did, i would request that it be in the art forum, for two reasons.

1) the story is a form of artistry.

2) i mod there, and can edit anything unacceptable, thereby possibly keeping the story alive longer.

the last attempt petered out, cause the entries from some people wanted it to go that way.

i await some opinions.

I hate threads like that. I think Lil was the last person to try and start one, they usually involve the kiddies :rolleyes:

Wouldn't that lead to ?ber long posts?

yes they can, and sometimes do, but it doesn't have to.

we have had 3 very successful story threads at PFL. we do not do them often, that way we do not wear out a good thing.

snarkpit has fewer kiddies, than we used to, so my fear is small.

another good thought is, PFL never had a moderator over the story (we needed one, but didn't have to have one) this time we will.

i trust your judgment lep, but unless i get more negative feedback, i see no reason not to try again. these things are genuinely fun to do, age is not a requirement, and even very dry humor can lead to quite funny directions.

snarkpit has plenty of posters to make it work, as long as people do not post to rapidly, it should come out just fine.

/ 2 cents

Vash ran into Snark Head quarters and proclaimed "Leperous has been kidnapped!"

very funny, i was thinking something along those lines too..

more like "Long,long ago, in a forum far far away..."

but seriously vash, this isn't the story thread..

/cries

I failed at starting something..Again :biggrin:

fishy looked up from an old copy of Viz, and asked if it's still called kidnapping when the police have done it.

You think I'm childish? Starting some story that goes like this

Then
Something
else
happened
omg
if
only
we
had
something
better
to
do
with
our
lives.

Yes, it was quite funny the first time, but really...

then its decided, matt doesn't want to have a story thread.

i guess he won't be in it when its begun, shame really.

if you change your mind about the value of the story, please feel free to voice it, until then, why don't you look around snarkpit a bit, i am sure you can find something more mature to comment about.

this is about as close as i am willing to get to an argument, so if its a fight you want matt.. go do it on another forum.

Oh jesus, a topic of this kind has no artific value whatsoever. Its not a poem or even a story, its just lack of sanity.

Wouldn't that lead to ?ber long posts?

Yes but they would all contain the same story so if you wanted to catch up you could just read the last post.

azelito said:
its just lack of sanity.

and you don't think a lack of sanity is an art form?

i know several people who have taken it to unheard of heights, most of them are mappers who think much higher of themselves than the rest of us, but...

seriously, i beg to differ, the story threads are creative, hence, artistic.

Country to popular belief I'm not mad. ooooh neighbours is on, bye!

No. I think cubism is one and pointism (or whatever its called) is one but insanity? No. I see nothing artistic in that, I must apologies for my shallow mind.

shallow-mindedness is an artform as well IMO

BTW when you changed your avatar, you misplaced your plug for your site..

I shalt not argue with you about YO.

And btw, what?

azelito said:

And btw, what? <--- read your above post, your signature is missing.

I think we should give this story thing a try :biggrin:

.....a nascent story, whose traumatic birth inclined it to become.....

.....a senseless cause of division amongst seemingly cooperative contributors.
