I am sorry if I stirred the pot.. I hadn't meant to.. I just felt it was rather obvious an outcome.. I send you the story quotes..


"And then he saw the other.  The person was running towards him with the beast following.   They were too far away to tell if it was a man or a woman.  But whoever it was, the beast was chasing after them.   And both of them were running straight towards Jim."


The above paragraph is what I was imagining when I wrote my part..


"Glancing all around she turns and runs directly toward a figure in the distance. The Pteranodon drops even lower and nips a bit of her hair, he swooshes upward shuffling a breeze and a clasp of blond tresses hangs lightly out of his clenched bill. Grabbing at her scalp she steps up her pace and screams a bit.. but, exhaustion soon took over and she collapsed onto the ground.. Looking up she swings her hand to shield her eyes and stares directly into the eyes of....."


I guess I just assumed that whoever picked up the story would automatically know (if they were keeping up with the rest of the story) what direction it was taking..


I guess I felt as though I were being laughed at.. or the story was being shrugged with a quick snappy comment and then several more who made light of that comment .. I enjoyed the story line.. even with the outrageous characters.. since it was made known that the island made Jim see Mirages' of what he was imagining..


Speaking as a writer.. although unpublished, I wish to mention how difficult it is to be inspired to begin with.. and that inspiration can easily continue throughout with blending thoughts and imaginations working together.. or it can diminish quicker than a snap due to lack of flow.. I hope I am not coming accross as whinning which I never intended to let out.. I simply was very excited at the story, since it wasn't story tag.. and wanted to join in..

ScarletRose:  I thought it was a story tag.  Maybe it has a different name.  There's StoryTag, chain stories, and Roundrobin stories.  I thought these were all the same. 

I hope you'll think about the changes I'm proposing and then people like you who do write alot will have an additional outlet (the website working in conjunction with this board)  ;)

Modified ONLY to make it more readable  ;)


Groucho: I view story tag as quick responces with little thought.. I saw these
additions similar to the stories we would write (years ago) at IYT..
where they were thought out.. and contained bulk.. most who would
participate made up their own characters.. we had a great time.. lots
of mystery.. lots of laughs.. and lots of peeps who just like reading
them..

I found a story and thought I would share some of it..

Topic: Addicted to IYT From:§»§Huggz§«:*´`³¤(¯`'¤¸(¯`Cathy´¯)¸¤´¯)¤³´`*:»§Kissez§« (higgsfam)

Subject:
Cathy reaches into her mail box.. pulling out the Thursday flyers, and
bills.. suddenly an offwhite envelope drops to the floor.. HMmm?? no
return address, she thinks to herself as she slips her finger along the
seal to pop it open..

Slipping out the card snuggly fit inside
she smiles as she reads.. "Your are cordially invited!" and hurridley
she opens it to find.. "To attend The IYT annual Picnic located at the
IYT Town Amusement Park" scanning quickly over the details she runs
back towards her home.. to arrange the travel arrangements and dates
her calendar.. WOw.. that is this weekend!!

She calls in her reservations and prepares her bags to leave..

Later that evening she arrives at the IYT Town Hotel and checks in.. Looking around the lobby to see if she recognizes anyone..

From: §APACHE CHIEF OF THE MESCALAROS (cochise4)

Subject: ... Cochise finds a message left on his machine...
...
Damn, the message is 3 days old... He quickly informs his first mate
that he will be away for the weekend and that he is to retrive the
longlines on his own... Only have time to pack a dufflebag and will
pick up anything needed when I arrive... A quick look around proves
that packing should be done slowly as he picks up the almost forgotten
pipe...

---------------------------------------
From: §Erika (Erika)

Subject:
One question.. are there 'coasters?....and how long are the lines?
(okay, that's two questions, but from my town of Nobody Cracked Here,
that's alright.

From: §APACHE CHIEF OF THE MESCALAROS (cochise4)

Subject:
... Upon entry...... Cochise spends almost 3 hours at the airport
checkin while trying to explain the white powder in the pipe... After a
quick call to the reservation he gets the results that he was waiting
for... Damn uninformed airport police, Oh well ... Off to the hotel and
a much needed nap...

From: Paranoia Promoter (raven1111)

Subject: Raven checks in on her message board and finds the invitation to the iyt event. Dang i hope im not too late!

Running
into the lobby, I see most everyone is still by the pool, only most of
them are burnt to a crisp and sipping brightly colored drinks with
funny umbrellas in them. Oh well, I have some serious making up to do.
Barkeep! i will have a Sour Apple Martini please and get the next one
ready, this one wont take long to drink! Hi everyone! welcome back
cathy, how was the trip?

From: §Foxy Lady(proud member of the ES Mob) (Foxy Lady)

Subject: Ok Cathy i'm here i got your invite
Did i miss it all or are you all in the ER burnt to a crisp?

From: §APACHE CHIEF OF THE MESCALAROS (cochise4)

Subject:
... Ok OK!!!... I'm here, now where is my room??? cochise runs past all
the people wanting to see if he brought the pipe and hides in the
elevator... Damn, If I don't get some rest I'll pass out in front of
everyone...

Subject:
After freshning up some, Cathy steps out of her room... and heads down
to the pool reaching the patio she quickly heads over to the barmaid
placing her order for a Long Island..

Sipping slowly on her
refreshment she glances around.. mingling through the crowd.. first
passing Foxy and recalling that date to be her last wedding date..
adding that must be a popular date..*giggle*.. after short convo Raven
stops over.. I had a lovely vacation.. just wish I could have visited
more with a Special person.. adding that Erika and her family were very
nice and is definately like a sister she never had.. I also was able to
meet up with my oldest daughter and her special someone.. before
returning home.. It was the most memorable vacation I have ever had the
pleasure of taking.. True, real.. down to earth meetings.. How is your
summer treating you?? Any vacations in the near future for you?..
Glancing more around the pool and noticing Erika, Excuse me.. I am
being called from the other side.. perhaps we can catch up more after a
bit..

Cathy steps over to Erika.. announcing the RollerCoaster
she noticed from the cab on the way to the Hotel.. including the
camcorder is all set and ready to catch the expressions from those who
dare to ride it.. LOL..

Soon the barmaid walks over handing
Cathy another Long Island.. she quickly gulps down the rest of the
first one.. feeling a bit light headed in a good way..

HMmmm.. wonder who all will be here?? Glancing more around the patio..

---------------------------------------
From: §Erika (Erika)

Subject:
oooooooohh no ya don't..Erika instructs one of the kids to remove the
battery from the camcorder, as Erika's had enuf pics taken for the next
5 yrs. (!!!) The lil' one gives Erika the camera battery, without Cathy
noticing, Erika runs inside, hits the elevator button, and notices some
passed out Indian Chief riding up and down in the elevator, with nobody
else present. "Oh well" she thinks to herself.. wonder if he'll notice
that i've exchanged this battery for that intriguing looking white
powder.

Erika then begins to walk back outside, anxious to ride
the coasters, when she hears somebody yelling "WHERE'S MY PINK
LIGHTER???!!!" Whoops, she makes a 180, hoping nobody notices..

Cathy stands down at the patio mingling with everyone.. realizing that
Erika has the whole night ahead of her to wait out.. Since the trip to
IYT TOWN Amusement.. doesn't begin til Tomorrow!! LOL

Where is that battery from my camera.. Hmmm.. good thing I brought spares..

From: Paranoia Promoter (raven1111)

Subject:
Raven is now on her 3rd Martini and feeling mello. Thats good that you
had a nice trip, cathy. When my children were young, road trips were
the best thing for them. they got to see a different place almost every
day and didnt get bored. we would drive during the night when they were
asleep in the back seat, so we didnt hear alot of "are we there yet".
lol
I did go on a vacation to boston just last week to visit my
daughter and i plan another in august to the deep south to visit
relatives. I bet it was nice to see your daughter again, i know how
hard it is having them away from home.
Man its getting hot out here, im going for a dip, talk to you later.
Raven takes out one of the rafts with the drink holders in it and lays down on the water to soak up the afternoon sun.

Subject: Re:
ScarletRose:  I'll see if I can find some definitions.  I can see something like what you posted working well if people were of the same writing skill level.  But even though I have a good imagination and am a storyteller in a semi-professional way, I don't write as well as some of the stories I've read on here.  I don't know that we can expect the same level from everyone.  The website could accomodate a more serious storyline or even a private FS.  But in the public forum, it's a different matter.  I agree that it's a lot of fun. 

I hope people check out the web site and let me know what they think of it and my ideas behind it.  Critical comments welcomed too.  I'm going forward with my ideas on the premise that "If you build it they will come" so criticisms may help in shaping what I am trying to do. 

As for this forum, much of it is up to the folks.  ;)  But as a public board, many of the rules for participation are set by the Users Agreement ;)
