I have an idea for a new collaborative writing thread and wanted a general consensus on the idea and who would be interested in participating if I
started it. I don't want to put it up if nobody is interested in playing along so I don't have a huge failure staring me right in the face every
day.
This will involve your imagination skills being tested to the limit!
I want to create a genie thread where one starts off with a wish. The following poster will grant that wish and use their creative writing abilities
to screw that wish up beyond imagination....ending with their own wish that loosely follows the previous post. So on and so forth.
An example would be as follows...
I wish for my own cruise ship.
The next poster would reply with something akin to...
*POOF*! Your wish is granted. You have your very own cruise ship but little did you know that the ship had to come from somewhere. It turns out that
there are 3 heavy set men and a donkey hot on your trail for stealing their ride. You realize this and try to go faster so you can escape their wrath.
While speeding you hit a snow white baby seal doing just enough damage to tick him off. In his haze of floating stars and encroaching darkness he
makes eye contact with you and thinks you look like the guy that came there a week ago to club his family. The ship matches what the seal remembers at
any rate.
He sends out his warning call and within minutes the sea is covered in large, very angry seals. They manage to jam your propellers, leaving you
sitting like a dead duck in the middle of nowhere with the ship's real owners still chasing you like the hounds of hell.
You can stop there and tie in your wish for the next poster to grant. Something like...
I wish that (poster's name) had gigantic oars so he could try to save himself before it's too late.
Then the next poster would start with granting that wish and screwing it up all over again. It can be funny, scary, paranormal, etc. Your choice.
I think it could be fun and hope I explained it clearly enough. It can give everyone a chance to have a bit of a laugh while honing their creative
writing skills. A win/win scenario.
Just reply to this or U2U me if you think it would be a good idea and you would like to participate in it. It won't really work if I am the only one
doing it.
Thanks everybody!
