An Exquisite Corpse II

I'm in!

Holycrapastinusisgoinginthisisigoingtobemaaaad

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.

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.*

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-

Time to confess...

I just opened word and started typing. Default setting for MS Word 07: 1' margins all the way around, and Calibri font at 11pt.

Sorry guyz... *dodges what ever is thrown.*

Eh, I think a little more or less is fine as long as it's not too much. Of course, the problem with ever giving leeway is that it may just snowball, which is always a problem.

Anyways, yes, I'd like to be in the next one again. :D I actually don't want to be the tail again, as it'd be hard to trump the awesome ending I wrote for the last one; and I want to see what I can do with less space. So, sign me up!

I'm going to be checking my margins every time I do one of these now, but it's already much too late to go back and conform my part of the last CORPSE to the 1" standards. Shouldn't be too much more than one page in standard formatting though...

EDIT: Maybe we should set a specific margin for this. I think Xanthine should choose the margins and perhaps include them in the first post so that we don't have any more madness over length. So far it looks like some of us have different defaults, so a common ground is probably necessary...

This one would actually have to be a fault on your part, unfortunately. First post, first rule at least has always established that the font should be twelve-point Times. =/

Mostly, the formatting rule's in place to ensure that we can easily check to see if you've reached the proper limit, rather than to create a set of limitations to add to the challenge, if that makes sense. But I think I can be comfortable with more or less, so long as it's not noticeable.

We can go with my defaults: 1" top and bottom, 1.25" sides. I've added both under the first rule.

Sorry about the lateness, folks. Lineup's below. If you don't see your name, you're not cool enough to be part of the Corpse post and I'll insert it at random.

Ah, I came late. Could you please add my name to the list?

Aww...I wanted the tail. xD

Oh well. :D

Would it be cool if you got the tail, then? Or would you rather have a deathmatch with Ninja Caterpie over second-to-tail? I could go either way.

Yeah, the tail would be fine. Although a death match might have proved to be interesting.

Hey, everyone. Due to the illness I've had during the last week, I had to send the line I got from Rabbit to An-Chan.

I was wondering how far along we were. XD No worries. Thanks for telling us, and I hope you get well soon (or have gotten well quickly).

I have received permission from Astinus to revive this thread.
The corpse is done, we just need a title so I can start the thread.

My contribution is: Discombobulated.

Ah, I have to get in!

My word: Dish-washing

For the sake of actually getting a full title today, I'll throw in my two cents one cent.

Wonder.

Last one? >_>
