Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Ok boys and girls. Here’s how it’s gonna go down. I’m opening the doors to people who are interested in helping create the most wacky, bizarre and interesting story to ever be created within the hallowed halls of the BCB forums.

The game will be played thusly. After I have a sufficient number of people interested, I will create a new topic and list the order in which the writers will post. I will then post the setting, and the first paragraph of the story.

From there, each player posts a single paragraph, advancing the story slightly. We do not discuss what the next paragraph will be with each other. So that every new paragraph will be purely of that authors creation.

We do not play a specific character. We collectively tell a story that at any stage could veer in any direction.

The only rules are that there is to be no NSFW content (Trust me… It’s better that way), and that no one intentionally ruin the story. Beyond that, it’s a free for all.

Also, please note that I WILL be picking and choosing the authors, so depending on how many people are interested, I may need to leave some out for this round. But you will get preference on the next one.

So. WHO’S INTERESTED?!

HUZZAHHHHHH

CRIME NOIR STORY

Yeah sure im in, see if i can squeeze this in between my busy schedual of work and sleep

I am deffinately in.

I’m interested.

I’ll join if you’ll have me. You have my word, no NSFW.

Count me in!

Sounds cool.

Taeshi brought up a really good point. There will be no Fan Character’s in the story. This is to keep the story from veering into self indulgence.

I figured.

I’m game. Sign me up.

I propose that the story should take place during summer break or something so that we don’t have to worry about the school etc.

Plothole avoidance ahoy!

I’m in!!!!

Hm this could be interesting. Sure I’ll give it go… though wait.. one paragraph….?

How am I suppose to fit in my horribly overly detailed wing-bag style with that D:! It’ll spend each of my posts describing someones shoe and then one out of space bwahh!

But I kid~ one paragraph should do.

I’m Partially interested

sounds awesome, ill give it a try

This should be interesting. I may try after the first round, just to see how it goes.

sure sounds cool

Should result in an interesting read, though I’ll skip. I’d probably try as hard as I could to kill off every character.

I am sooo in, this sounds like the funnest thing to ever exist

sorry for the double post, i couldn’t edit the other one T-T. anyway i had a question, because your supposed to make a new paragraph for every new person who talks (F**king english language), so can you only do one line of dialog?

EX;
I walked into the room.
“Hi there!” a distant voice called.
“err, hi?”came my response.

would be one two or three paragraphs?

I suppose dialogue is fine as long as it’s not incredibly long. Forcing people to go trough turns quickly just because of dialogue would make it kinda silly.

Example:
***
Mike knocked on the door nervously. He had imagined this moment many times over in his head but when it came down to it he couldn’t remember any of the possible outcomes of the conversation. As he stood there fidgeting his scarf footsteps could be heard behind the door and slowly it opened.
“Erm… Hi Lucy.” he muttered nervously. “I don’t suppose you’re ready to forgive me yet?”.
The white cat had clearly been crying. You could still see the trail her tears had left onto her fur.
“…Hi jerkface…” she almost whispered. “…How’d it go with Sandy?”
***

Something like that maybe?

I agree.

Count me in, by the way. ^_^

Another question, does it have to be about BCB? Can it be about, say, a toaster who is a legendary basket weaver, and he looses his wife in a tragic basketry accident, and he gets blamed for the death of her and goes to jail?

Sounds interesting, I’ll join in.

Count me in if haven’t enough people yet (although from the looks it you may have)

You’re actually supposed to drop a line and indent for each new speaker, if you want to get technical, but that has never constituted a new paragraph.

-Icaras

Is this going to go anywhere? has it started? WHY WASN’T I INVITED?

Ok. I now officially have enough people for two games of this. I’m not going to run them simultaneously, since I’ll have to be in both, but once the first game has finished, the 2nd will commence with a whole new group. If you’ve definitely signed up, (I didn’t count ‘maybes’ sorry. Be more decisive next time!), then please note where you are in the line up, and be ready to post. If you’re in the 2nd game, be on the lookout for “The Second Greatest BCB Story Ever Told” once the first is done. Though feel free to read along with the first round ^_^

First Round:
01. Maverik
02. Tayvin
03. Gabriel Kaxbe

08. JBog
09. RayRay
10. Pathetique

I’m going after Sean? Oh god, that means I’ll be fixing what ever mess he has made with teleportation… I jest I jest.

Also, to answer Pyrotwister’s question… You can hold a conversation as your paragraph.

“I think you’re a jerkface” said Lucy who was clearly scowling.
“Well I think YOU’RE PMSing” Mike yelled, clearly having lost all will to live. Lucy’s eyes grew red with rage at the insinuations of the Korat.
“That does it! I’ll neuter you!” Lucy produced a large pair of scissors.

etc etc. Just keep it within reason.

aha,i’m after leaving a comment,you better clean up his mess or i’ll have to

Mike surprised Lucy as he spoke to her upside down from the ceiling…… Jk

lol…

@Maverik: That’s within reason? ^_^

Sounds like a tactful solution to me, accusing an irate female of PMSing. I hope you wear Kevlar.

You’d like being neutered, would you? ^_^

If you’d experienced the kind of blue-balling I got last year, you’d be pretty ambivalent to the prospect too.

Eh. I can’t be neutered either way. ^_^
