Elokuu 2006, 02:41:21 Otsikko: Re: The story so far: Muokannut Papa Zoom (23. Elokuu 2006, 23:39:26)  The Whisper: if someone starts a story and others can add to it, then, whoever adds to the story makes the twist or the turn. I don't think it is fair to say "This has to be serious" or "This can be silly." The thoughts and ideas of those who participate are what counts and what makes the story original And Floozie said something I'll probably include as well. Pluse other suff. I'm working on it now. :) 23. Elokuu 2006, 02:51:56  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 although unpublished, I wish to mention how difficult it is to be inspired to begin with..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..
23. Elokuu 2006, 02:55:39 Otsikko: Re: The story so far: Groucho: Cool by me! What did Floozie say? I'm wondering.... 23. Elokuu 2006, 02:58:02 Otsikko: Re: 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) ;) 23. Elokuu 2006, 02:59:00 Otsikko: Re: The story so far: The Whisper: "If people choose to make long, descriptive posts, that's great. If people choose to make short to the point posts, they should have that right too. Being this is a public board, all posts should be encouraged as long as they are on topic." 23. Elokuu 2006, 03:00:11 Supper time. Let me hear your thoughts on what I've said and all that ;) Be sure to check out the website (it's posted above) ;) I just started it last night so......don' t expect much ;) 23. Elokuu 2006, 03:03:18 Otsikko: Re: Groucho: I am new here and I need explanation/definition of: StoryTag, chain stories, and Roundrobin stories 23. Elokuu 2006, 05:14:38 Otsikko: Re: Muokannut ScarletRose (24. Elokuu 2006, 01:03:29) Modified ONLY to make it more readable ;) Groucho: I view story tag as quick responces with little thought.. I saw these 23. Elokuu 2006, 05:44:57 Otsikko: 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 ;) 23. Elokuu 2006, 22:51:11 If anyone has a story they have written and are willing to send it to me, I'd like to post it on the web site and see how it works and then what ya all think ;) 24. Elokuu 2006, 00:48:18 Otsikko: Re:  ScarletRose: I just wanted to let you know i wasn't making fun of you.I was trying to follow the story nd came up with the traps.You know i'm not a story teller and always wrote very short posts to any story.The post about the mouse did get a few laughs for fun not to make fun of you. 24. Elokuu 2006, 01:06:11 Otsikko: Re: Foxy Lady: Neither was I when I went along with it. I was just going with the flow. So far ONLY TWO people have given me feedback. Just so folks know, after FRIDAY I'll be posting the guidelines again and we'll see where things go. If you want to know the direction of my thinking, read below. ;) 24. Elokuu 2006, 01:11:06 Otsikko: Re: Groucho: The Website is looking good.  24. Elokuu 2006, 01:49:08 Otsikko: Re: Foxy Lady: Thanks. Now if someone sends me a story, I can test out how that works and if people like it. And I hope people check out the links pages too because there are several links up. 24. Elokuu 2006, 03:28:16 Otsikko: Re: Muokannut Foxy Lady (24. Elokuu 2006, 03:32:25) Groucho: Whoops i didn't check out the links. Ok i checked out the links and webbies can get them 24. Elokuu 2006, 04:21:49 Otsikko: Re: Foxy Lady: WebTV can't get them? What do you get and does it not work on all of them? 24. Elokuu 2006, 04:39:17 Otsikko: Re: Groucho: Hello  WebTV can get the links.I'm a webbie meaning WebTV user.24. Elokuu 2006, 05:25:29 Otsikko: Re: Foxy Lady: My bad. I read "can't" when you said "can." ;) 24. Elokuu 2006, 05:38:45 Otsikko: Re: Groucho: Maybe Granpa needs reading glasses? 24. Elokuu 2006, 05:44:53 Otsikko: Re: Foxy Lady:  24. Elokuu 2006, 05:50:59 Otsikko: Re: Groucho: LOL..........No more feedback yet? 24. Elokuu 2006, 05:51:56 Otsikko: Re: ScarletRose: those i miss!!!!! no longer at iyt. thanks for inviting it here! :) 24. Elokuu 2006, 07:20:50 Otsikko: If you click on this link and then click on "IYT Story (just a test)" you'll get an idea of what I am thinking for posting stories (either once they have been written or member contributions ;) 24. Elokuu 2006, 07:38:37 Otsikko: Re: If you click on Groucho: there were the best tag story telling i knew, some could and some couldn/t.great mem's. way back then.carry it on here! 24. Elokuu 2006, 09:40:51 Otsikko: Re: If you click on Groucho: Thats really good 24. Elokuu 2006, 14:19:57 Otsikko: Re: If you click on Groucho: That site looks great Groucho.. doing a really good job on it.. if you would like I might be able to send you a past IYT story to put in there.. but that won't be till later this evening.. since I will have to look and see if I have it on disk.. 24. Elokuu 2006, 14:24:43 Otsikko: Re: nightmagic: Those were the days.. mystery of IYT players.. too funny.. we were going to start one on IYT a few months back.. I had gathered several of us storie tellers to do one final story.. (since it was threatened the boards would be gone) we had an awesome plot.. but, too many distractions on the board.. especially when we started writing it.. 24. Elokuu 2006, 17:30:42 Otsikko: Re: If you click on ScarletRose: People can send me any story they have written (as long as they aren't of adult content ;) If you find another story, send it and I'll put it up. It only takes a few minutes to add anything and the more work I putinto the site, eventually it will only require a tweak here and there ;) 24. Elokuu 2006, 17:31:43 Otsikko: Re: If you click on Foxy Lady: Thanks. I have an old Web program but it still does the job and uploading is fast. It does all the work. 24. Elokuu 2006, 19:59:26 Otsikko: Re: Iyt stories  ScarletRose: I loved those iyt stories! 25. Elokuu 2006, 05:13:22 Otsikko: Re: Iyt stories Mousetrap: Have you checked out the website Groucho came up with? It's really quite good. 25. Elokuu 2006, 07:29:05 Otsikko: SR groucho-m@comcast.net will work. ;) 25. Elokuu 2006, 18:14:10 Otsikko: Re: web site Foxy Lady: Yes it is good, I like it. 26. Elokuu 2006, 09:06:54 As you read the stories on the website you can see there was no chatting,and everyone having fun.Everyone stuck to the story and after reading it sure brought back alot of memories. Be sure to read the guidelines also. 26. Elokuu 2006, 16:37:11 we sure did have fun.. and most peeps sent private messages.. 26. Elokuu 2006, 18:16:34 Hopefully I'll be posting something later today with regard to what's next. Also, guidelines are done (mostly) and the information is currently up on the web site ;) 26. Elokuu 2006, 19:41:44 Kewlness I am ready to write.. whoo hoo 27. Elokuu 2006, 00:44:46 Otsikko: OK, with the end of the following posts, the new guidelines will be in effect and discussion are done. If anyone has any further comment, please PM me. I plan to restart the story (out of respect for those that want it to be continued) and hopefully we can conclude it. Then the group will decide where to go next. I am not trying to complicate things, only facilitate some organization to this board. ;) I've listed on the WebSite possible board activities. They are not etched in stone so if people don't want something, that works for me too. Here they are.... Brainking StoryBoard activities: -Story Tag -Sharing of personally authored stores (providing just a link to the website - please don't post entire stories) -Story Chatter (chatting about either the story tag -after it is completed- or chatting about members story submission) -Chat (related to what's currently happening on the board. The only time "chat" will be discouraged is when we are in the middle of a StoryTag exchange. During the creation of a collaborative story chat will be greately discouraged. ;) -Other ideas that may come up ;) to be continued :) 27. Elokuu 2006, 00:49:50 Muokannut Papa Zoom (27. Elokuu 2006, 06:02:53) I've posted the basic storytag guidelines above. It is only the abreviated version. Check out the links for more specific information. People will be expected to have read the complete guidelines for storytag using one of the links provided. It's only fair to everyone that we are all on the same page. It is after all a collaborative effort and we must all be playing by the same rules. agreed? ;) 27. Elokuu 2006, 00:50:50 Otsikko: Here are some further guidelines for story tag - they are also posted on the web Muokannut Papa Zoom (27. Elokuu 2006, 00:52:36) Guidelines For Collaborative Stories (impromptu, story-tap; round-robin; chain-story) Respecing the Work of Others - Since this writing effort is collaberative, remember that some writers have spent a lot of time working out the details of their contribution. Please respect the plots that others have written. Feel free to add to a storyline but first be familiar with the entire story before adding anything new. Stay consistent with the theme of the story. Add new characters and new twists, but don't change things so that the story theme changes also. The best way to do this is to be familiar with the story and always build off the last entry. Take cues from the last entry and build on it. How much should a person write? --- As little as a sentence and as much as a few paragraphs. Try to avoid giving only a word or two. Write enough so that then next writer has something to build upon. And in every case, be very sensitive to the direction and theme of the story. Introduce new characters and situations but don't write things that will drastically change the story. Avoid long additions. Since the stories will be housed on my personal site, and available to everyone on the internet, keep it rated "E" -- for EVERYONE Always proofread your addition. 27. Elokuu 2006, 00:57:58 Otsikko: Some definitions Muokannut Papa Zoom (27. Elokuu 2006, 00:59:03) Basically I view all the types of collaborative stories the same way. It's a group effort. There are many different ways of handling it but basically I think we need to allow some freedom and flexibility in story tag efforts and not be too rigid. But for informational purposes I post the following. Definitions Story Circle One person begins a tale and stops after a few sentences. The next person picks up the story thread and continues it, then stops. Next person adds to it and so on until the tale comes to a resolution. The story could begin with a pre-selected title or subject to guide the improvisation. Try recording the story circle on a tape recorder for later listening. http://www.storyarts.org/lessonplans/lessonideas/#circle Chain Story: -Everybody knows what a chain story is, right? If you want to participate, please add one sentence to the previous sentence. Alternating, at least, one other person would need to add a line before you could add your next sentence. -A chain story is a story written bit by bit, by many different people. -Each person takes a turn moving the story along and each new person who takes over must maintain some consistency in the narrative while being free to take the story in other directions. Story Tag Story Tag is a multi-author, round robin type of cartoon. One person starts it, another person continues, and the cartoon keeps going until someone ends it Story Tag 1 Story Tag is a multi-author, round robin type of cartoon. One person starts it, ... Story Tag 01 is the product of two authors: Gel and Dustball. So is Tag. ... http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/98457 - Round Robin A round-robin story is one that is started by one person and then continued sucessively by others in turn. Whether an author can get additional turns, how many lines each person can contribute, and how the story can be ended depend on the rules. Some Web sites have been created for the telling of round robin stories by each person posting the next part of the story as part of an online conference thread. A Round-robin story, or simply "round robin," is a type of collaborative fiction or storytelling in which a number of authors each write chapters of a novel or pieces of a story, in rounds. Round-robin novels were invented in the 19th century, and later became a tradition particularly in science fiction. In modern usage, the term often applies to collaborative fan fiction, particularly on the Internet, though it can also refer to friends or family telling stories at a sleepover, around a campfire, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin_story I found these definitions on a number of web sites. It was a hard thing to find much information on and I was surprised. If anyone has an "official" definition I can post on the web site, that would be great. PM me. ;) 27. Elokuu 2006, 01:05:56 Otsikko: on with the story Muokannut Papa Zoom (27. Elokuu 2006, 07:12:48) the next post I'll be reposting the entire story so far. Please be sure to always link your contribution to the last one otherwise I may miss it when I put the thing together and post it on the web. ;) Since I cannot decide what's to be allowed in or not (except in some obvious cases) I have included all contributions. I think that the starter of the story can help decide on when it's finished. I'm assuming that we don't want them to drag on forever. ;) 27. Elokuu 2006, 01:07:10 Otsikko: Beyond the Bermuda Triangle Beyond the Bermuda Triangle 9. July 2006 Jim was flying his lear jet over Cuba on his flight to Brazil. He was a representative of a coffee company in Florida who was checking on companies in South America. All of a sudden all his gages were malfunctioning and he was loosing control of his plane.... ...He found out a bird had hit one of the engines... ...Suddenly, the plane started to dive! ...The engine sputtered and choked as it tried to stay alive... ...As his plane spiraled down out of control Jim spotted a flash of emerald and tan through the clouds. As his plane sank lower he realized it was an island in a part of the ocean where no island should be. ...Was his fantasy becoming true? ...What fantasy was that? ...The island was incased in a fog or clouds. Soon his plane floated down. Till it reached the island. ...The fatiague from such a disorienting experience had caused Jim to question his perception of his surroundings.Could it be?......could that really be a Chuck E Cheese in the distance? ...Jim had dozed off and woke hours later on the island and his plane was no where in site. No wreckage whatsoever. ...He saw the Chucky Cheeser again and discovered that the island fabricated marages of what ev er you think about. "What strange place is this?" Jim thought. "Whatever one thinks about, the Island creates a mirage of it. " Suddenly it occured to him that such a situation could lead to trouble. What if he were thinking of something that led to a dangerous or even deadly mirage? He hardly had time to think about that last question when a shudder surged throughout his body. Was he now seeing things? What was his last thought? He didn't have time to wonder any longer. Something was moving in the distance. Something big. And it was coming his way..... The very idea that Jim could manifest his own best or worst fears intrigued Jim.For to even dread the worst meant he must at least revisit that minefield of emotions. the ground trembled, the trees shook in the distance... it reminded him of the old king kong movie... coconuts were falling everywhere... BOOM! earth geysered! BOOM! BOOM! ROARRRRrrrrr! The giant ape retreated in anger! the coconuts were setting off land mines! jim thought "oh this is just dandy" and forced himself to think of 'good' thoughts... But no matter how hard he tried, the huge ape just wouldn't disappear. Land mines continued to explode as coconuts continued to fall. Suddenly, another huge creature appeared in the distance. "How can that be?" thought Jim. "I wasn't thinking of a creature of any kind!" Then just as suddenly, the huge ape disappeared and the explosions ceased. But the beast in the distance grew bigger and bigger as it came closer and closer. "This is madness!" Jim screamed as he desparately thought of peceful things. A quiet stream running through the valley appeared. That was Jim's thought. But the beast wasn't. And then it suddenly occured to Jim. Not only was he not alone, but the thoughts of others became a reality to him as well! It was one thing to control his own thoughts but the thoughts of another? Impossible. 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. Then,all at once Jim sensed a presence from behind.The ape had returned and was running its fingers through his hair while making grunting sounds.In an act of defiance Jim swung around and screamed at the top of his lungs "get your stinkin paws off me you dirty Ape." THUMP...THUMP...THUMP...THUMP... Jim looked up at a placid Kong... SCREAM! They both looked towards the high-pitched SCREAM source but saw the T-Rex first! It was bearing down on a golden haired slight woman in a flowing flimsy white wrap, who gathered herself and dove into the deep blue stream... Jim pointed- Well don't just stand there king! Go save her! Help her! The giant ape ROARED and sprang forward covering ground fast and low... almost losing Jim as he jumped on and clung on to the ape's hairy calf with both hands... The T-rex skidded to a stop on the thick green verge at the stream and BELLOWED a challenge back! "Bawkkkkkkkkk Bawwaakkkkk" Scarlet comes running through the trees, arms up above her head sheilding herself from the swooping Pteranodons. Her white guaze dress snags on a stump and tears at the hemline. 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..... a tiny field mouse. Out from the woods comes a Fox with a few mouse traps and sets them around the island. But that tricky little mouse isn't about to be fooled by the mouse traps. He's seen them before and knows how to avoid them. Meanwhile, the mouse is occupied staring back into the eyes of the stranger. 27. Elokuu 2006, 21:53:25 Otsikko: Re: Beyond the Bermuda Triangle Muokannut The Col (27. Elokuu 2006, 21:55:52) Groucho: Out of nowhere appears another entity,wearing pilots gear and female.The woman's arrival causes the mouse and fox to scurry for safety.The woman introduces herself as Amelia Earhart.........Scarlet replies "Bawkkkkkkkkk Bawwaakkkkk" 28. Elokuu 2006, 17:02:47 Scarlet extends her hand "It is so wonderful to meet you Miss Earhart, you have had us all in a tizzy since search parties were never able to find you or your plane. How have you been able to manage all this time?" Scarlet lQQks over the area as if to search for other life.. "Are you here with anyone else?" she boldly questions. Jim eagerly awaits a responce and searches the immediate area with his eyes. Nudging Scarlets forearm slightly as he notices movement in the bushes just west of them, he bobs his tilted head to alert Scarlet. Emilia, fully aware now that the island guests are a bit nervous, shouts out to the bushes "It's okay Clayton. They aren't here to hurt us. They are friends. Would you like to come over and meet them?" Scarlet and Jim patiently wait while a brown haired young boy with a face of freckles sluggishly walks over to the group of them. "Hello young man", starts Jim only to soon be interrupted by Amelia's introduction. "Clayton, this is Scarlet and Jim. Clayton is my adopted son so to speak, his parents were great friends of mine. I took over Claytons care when Natashia and Sam met their fate in an accident in the cave on the other side of the Island. Amelia nervously looked away. "Are you the only two here? Scarlet asks. Jim perks up a bit waiting to learn more.. Amelia turns around opening her arms as if to cast a spotlight down for all to see.. "There are others here.. Families, and individuals who happened here one way or another", she swings back around to face Jim and Scarlet.. "Just as you two had came about" Clayton shuffles sand with his foot and kicks at an imaginary ball.. the sea sweeps in leaving a cottony foam along the coast.. while seagulls flap their wings to swoop down and gather their catch of the day! Jim and Scarlet follow Amelia with full trust while the young lad hop scotches a stride right behind them. 28. Elokuu 2006, 23:17:48 scarlet thinks to herself.. *did I just say that outloud?.. how rude I must have sounded".. before the thought of those harse words could be absorbed fully in.. she added.. "Well.. I didn't fly in like you two had, I was on a Cruise, we had docked up at one of the islands and I got off to do some shopping.. I found this cozy cafe' and decided to rest a bit with a double mocha coffee.. I ended up getting mesmerized by the Island music coming from the band just out on the patio. I missed the reboarding of the Princess Cathryn and when I realized it I had to hire a taxi raft to take me out.. unfortunately the ship was too far out and my rafter didn't want to lose the commission.. We hit something which tore into the raft and soon we were surrounded by water.. I couldn't find where my hired man went and fought the water on my own.. I managed to get some drift wood and held on.. I must have passed out since I have no real memory of drifting.. I just know that several days back.. I was washed up on the shore and woke up. I slept in some clumped bushes and have been eating banana's and coconuts.. I was more than excited to see people on this island. Does anyone have a cell phone on them? OR is there phone service on the island?? Is there a hotel.. We need to get to the town area.. *Scarlet seems a bit panicked* if I could just call the cruise line I can find out where to meet up with the ship.
31. Elokuu 2006, 05:48:12 Muokannut GGROBINLOVE (31. Elokuu 2006, 05:52:47)  "psssst" a loud hissing noise from the bushes to the right of scarlet. Scarlet looks around. "Pssst" there it is again Scarlet stops and goes back as the others keep walking with Miss Earhart. Suddenly a small whisp of a beautiful girl with big brown eyes came slowly out to grab Scarlets hand. "Please, do not go with them there is much danger here, that woman is not who you think she is!!!!!! My name is Isabella and I have been stranded here for over two years. There is a small plane that brings food and other things wrapped in red fabric, that flies in here daily at 4 in the morning. We must escape before its too late!" Her eyes were so sad and then they started filling with fluid and trickling down her shallow cheeks. "I don't know Isabella, I can't fantom all whats happening here yet, and I can't just leave the others! Suddenly there is shouting from the forest ahead of them in the direction the others gone, shots were heard, scarlet turns back around to talk to Isabella, but the frightened girl has disappeared. As scarlet is wondering where she went and a large arm wraps around her waist and a strong hand clamps down over her mouth. quickly she is picked up and carted off in a different direction. Squirming does little the person is very strong, scarlet thinks to herself, wishing her other friends would come to her aid...quick!!!! 2. Syyskuu 2006, 06:28:04 "UMmmmmURRGGggggg!!!" Scarlet gurgles through the tight fabric twisted and wrapped around her head gagging her mouth. "Aaacc esss aaaawwww" Scarlet screams at her captor. She twists herself hoping to catch her wrapped up hands against something to urge the cord loose with.. The tall lean figure is propped up against the wall, he silently whistles a tune to himself.. occassionally he looks over at Scarlet. He wears a scarf draped over most of his face as if to hide himself .. would she recognize the man if it were removed? she thinks to herself. He didn't seem too familar, at least not when he was bringing her here.. Of course would anyone really feel familar if they would have slung her over their shoulder as this man had? "Waaaaaa YYYyUUUUU uuunnnnn?" She asks of him as though he really can understand her. He looks over at her puzzled, and shakes his head. He turns to stare out the window as the sun slowly melts accross the horizon. 2.
