Well, the title is quite self-explanatory, I presume.
I nicked this idea from another bookforum I frequent, and over there this concept was quite succesful - a 54-page thread was the result.
Here's the idea. We, all of us, create a story, four words at a time. Yes, you're only allowed to add four words per post to the story, and then the next guy/gal takes over. The fun lies in making it as silly as possible. If it gets anywhere (say, anywhere upwards of 15-20 pages), I'll assemble the entire story. On the other hand, it might bleed to death after 5 posts. In that case I'll deny ever having taken part in an undertaking such as this.
Everyone can join in, there's no order in which we must post - anarchy rules!
Well, there's two rules, namely

You're next.
Cheers

Well, there's two rules, namely
- keep it relatively clean,
- the same member posting successive posts isn't allowed (unless it is to prevent the thread from dying), and
- hyphenated words count as one word.
