Ah, and I better stick mine in too (I want to be after An-chan).

Bony

POKEMON_MASTER_0 December 19th, 2008 2:55 PM

Wait. I don't think I titled it right. Sorry about that. I guess we're supposed to do it here, and I'll edit the topic when we've come up with a title. I think I have to put in my word, so here it is:

Fiery

EDIT: So the title would be "Thine Bony Fiery"?

Ninja Caterpie December 19th, 2008 3:19 PM

No, one more word.

This better be a noun. xP

My thought too. Someone, anyone, give us a noun!

Rabbit December 19th, 2008 3:50 PM

Quetzacoatl.

Wait, is Shrike done with the tail? I don't want to rush him. :0

Ninja Caterpie December 19th, 2008 4:44 PM

"Thine bony, fiery Quetzacoatl"

Oh dear god this'll be epic. Get it renamed now lol.

Shrike Flamestar December 19th, 2008 5:26 PM

Yes yes, I'm done. See? Told you guys it wouldn't take me months -_-

Too bad I had to leave for shopping stuff and couldn't get in on the title, though X_x

JX Valentine December 19th, 2008 5:39 PM

As a general note, yeah, please reread the rules every so often. The game tends to take awhile, so sometimes, one might forget how things work.

POKEMON_MASTER_0 December 20th, 2008 11:11 AM

I feel like an idiot for asking this, but I just edited the title, and within my first post, the title has changed, however, the topic's title has not. Is there any way to change the topic's title, or are we just stuck with the original one?

Shrike Flamestar December 20th, 2008 11:46 AM

Astinus can change it, so someone will need to ask her.

Ninja Caterpie December 20th, 2008 6:07 PM

I'm really liking how the thing's turning out! I can't wait for it to be finished.
... It seems like everyone's got their parts in!

I think my part is so stupid.:embarrass

I hope that it is acceptable.

My part'll look even more stupid. :P Well, compared to the others, it'll look like it's in the wrong section.

Rabbit December 20th, 2008 9:10 PM

Funny. The rules say 12 point Times New Roman, and that's what I used, but the first three corpse sections seem to be using 14 point TNR. Did I read the rules wrong?

txteclipse December 21st, 2008 9:18 AM

You should just post without editing any of the options. I.E. cut/paste from whatever word processor you're using and that's it.

For writing the actual work, you're using the default format of most word processors (twelve-point, TNR). That way, we all know you wrote exactly one page. However, for posting, you're using the default of the forums (as in, no tags).


Also!

Because we've just finished round two, sign-ups for round three are open until New Year's Eve. Next round starts on the new year, folks, so scramble to get in!

Also also, because we seem to have trouble with timing, remember the following:

1. Unless you're the tail of the team (i.e., last person in line), you've got a week to send out your part -- no more, no less.

2. If you know you're going to be away for longer than that period and you know your turn is coming up, please make a post here stating the dates you're going to be gone. (Please don't post an away message if your turn has already passed. That just confuses people. x_x)

3. Please don't sign up if you don't have time to participate. Sorry, but it just isn't as fun if there's fewer parts to the story than I have fingers on one hand.

With that in mind, who's up for round two?

Isn't this round three?

Either way, I'll in.

An-chan December 22nd, 2008 12:39 PM

I'm totally in, if you still want to play with me after all that randomity and Finnish I wrote xD

There's just a question I need to ask. Xanthine, you point out that we have no more and no less than a week. Does that mean that if I finish my part in half an hour, I have to wait for the whole week before passing my line on? Or did you say that just because it's part of the phrase?

It's round three this time, you silly cheese curl. :P

I'm in for this! I need some calm insanity during this time of year (zomg! giant sale at store i work at!), and I need to get back into writing. This is one of the ways I'm going to start for the new year.

So sign me up!

That's what I mean. The first few corpse pieces aren't long enough to have been 12 point Times, but they do reach exactly one page if in 14 point Times. I'm just wondering if this is a bizarre coincidence.

Sign me up, too. ^_^

Ninja Caterpie December 22nd, 2008 3:28 PM

I'm in!

JX Valentine December 22nd, 2008 3:44 PM

Can I really help it if I decide to do lines of crack before coming onto this board? I've heard withdrawal's a *****.

1. Yes, it's round three. As I've noted earlier in the same post.

2. Yeah, that one I just meant that the maximum amount of time you can take is set at one week. So, I guess it's "no more," although for those of you who badger the other players into finishing when it's still under a week, I do have a quiver of arrows, a lighter, and just enough sadism to see what happens if I try to shoot. (Although if I keep taking crack before interacting with you people, you're more likely to see me run around in circles on fire, but.)

As for your post, Rabbit, my own piece was written in 12-point (with margins at 1.25 -- default for Word), so if it's the others that's you're talking about, I could double-check and hit the people responsible with a fish.

I'm not sure why I wish so much harm to befall animals right now. I think this avatar is influencing me.

icomeanon6 December 22nd, 2008 6:15 PM

I'm up for another round.

By the way, before I get hunted down, I confess that I did not use the specified font when I wrote my section. *dodges fish.* I guess I copy-pasted what had been sent to me and just started typing from there. I feel über-terrible about this (with an umlaut, see?), and I promise not to do it again.

To err is human, to forgive is divine!

I am not a crook!

*Holds up both hands with peace signs.*

Post Office Buddy December 22nd, 2008 7:49 PM

I'm up for another round. Doing this gives me some motivation to write my chaptered fic :)

EDIT: Just checked my margins in Open Office and they are .75", which is weird because I haven't seen that as a default, like, ever. That would explain why all of my essays for college seemed longer than they should have been... I do use 12 pt. TNR font though.

Crack...? -sudden insight into Xanthine's character-
