Done

And for ECM:

I just re-read Cho's post - and realised I dropped a major point of consistancy!

Myrrh DID put some clothes on before picking up the shoes!

Perhaps the mystical forces of kung fu caused her clothing to disaperate?

Thanks for the support here guys but nope. I messed up. I didn't maintain consistency. But it wazs a fun post nonetheless...

BTW - is anybody else going to post again?

I'll try and get my act together and score this year's posts and give out some Sherlocks.

If I really get my act together I'll score lasts year's.

A question about continuity: since there was one discontinuity (clothes that disappeared) from now on do we assume Myrrha is naked from now on (until she finds new clothes, of course)?

I would go without the clothes - during her martial arts warm-ups she must have derobed.

I was hoping this comment meant you were considering a new post

OK - I've just repaired that glaring hole in my consistancy. And brought the rating back to more normal levels.

I was hoping someone else would be able to take the story somewhere - but I just had to let the inner cheerleader out of the shell Myrrha had her trapped in...

Well, I was .. but it is hard for me to write in english, especially in a specific genre. I had an idea for a genre, but it did not fit well at that point of the story. After thinking a bit, I thought I'd wait for a better opportunity.. and now it is even worse.. So I'll wait a bit more.

I find it easier to write the story - and then figure out a genre name that can fit...

Maybe because writing comes easilyy to you. My daughter also writes easily. Me, I need the constraints of the genre (WoTD, or the one I have in mind) to get ideas of what to write. Otherwise nothing comes...
It is by finding in WoTD archives the words "riparian", "mete" and "cataract" that the image of the second paragraph came to me.

I want to get back in. Maybe this weekend I'll be able to read it all and jump in again. I haven't really been writing since I left here. I lost my inspiration and encouragement...

I want to get back started though. Expect some posts soon!!!!

Kahrey · Post by **Kahrey** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 12:03 pm

Haha, love how the Volleyball is going! I'm about to post, though it doesn't seem like anyone is going to jump in and post anything...

Kahrey · Post by **Kahrey** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 12:52 pm

Ok, I posted in my usual....I have so much trouble breaking away from Fantasy. But I already know what I'm going to use next!

Somebody needs to post! We got to get this things going guys! I haven't hardly written in the past three years! It's great!!!

Kahrey · Post by **Kahrey** » Sat Jun 14, 2008 12:58 pm

I posted again. I had a lot of fun with it. I didn't exactly stick to the genre dream though. It was more like "dream and aftermath."

Someone needs to post! Please!!

voralfred · Post by **voralfred** » Sat Jun 14, 2008 5:41 pm

I admire the ease with which you write. The "Word of the Day" gave me a few ideas for just a few lines... I'm not up to do any more in any forseeable future.

Oh come on! Someone needs to post. Even if you do a few lines...a few lines could mean a lot in a story.

In the meantime, I'll try to wait till Monday to post again lest I end up swaying the whole story my way rather than as a group. But, I don't think I'll be able to contain it for longer than that.

I'm so weird...

Keep it up Kahrey, shame someone into posting.

I'll try to score the post this week, i'll be on a businees trip later this week which may actually give me more time to get to it.

Kahrey · Post by **Kahrey** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 8:41 am

Ok, awesome! I've actually been kinda busy with homework. I follow the instructions and it looks all different...I don't understand......

I wan to join in, but for some reason whenever I'm introduced to a structured enviroment my brain turns to mush. (I know the rules, and thats why I cannot obey them. Plus I'd forget the names, etc.)

I went ahead and posted something. Enjoy!

Where did everyone go? Did we decide to stop? Won't someone take a stab at another entry?

Did VB have one brief moment of restored life, only for me to miss it?
