COOKER
Everyone loves the summer. I never really got it myself. Sure, when you're twelve and the endless days stretch out ahead of you like a sun drenched beach you can understand it. But when your manager is sweating because his manager's manager has promised 'results', summer's are itchy places, where you feel light headed and you soon realise you don't really know anyone.
"The difficulty with the pressure cases" Uncle Neal would regale me, "Is that no-one wants them and no-one else wants to be anywhere near them." He would then leer and burp while I wanted to stuff my thumb up through his palette. He was right though, for all that I depised him for it.
"This incident will be cleared up easily" Swaggered Chief Inspector Penn, "My best men are on the case, I thank you for your time."
'I thank you for your time'... who says that. And 'best men', best man more like! More like "The lowliest inspector I can find might be on this as well as fulfilling his other duties and making tea for the 'real' policeman. But I will insure that I phone him three times a day to show interest and harrass his sorry ass". Cock!
Well there's a start - Time of year and situation spelled out... next!

Err I sort of meant we agreed a time, place and period between us... no disrespect but CampFreddy's yet to look at this... I suggest we hold off jumping into the writing until we agree the following:
o First Person or Third Person?
o Genre (historical, science fiction, fantasy, crime...)
o Period (Modern, Historical, Futuristic, Alternative reality...)
o Characters:
- Name
- Description (including hair, clothes, affectations, accents etc)
- Position (Private Dick, Detective, Constable, Manager, Barbarian etc)
- Personality traits.
Not all of these are certain now, but can be fleshed out as they go along, it's important that the author updates their own character expo as its the one stop shop for other writer to write about your character...
Rules:
o No killing - generally if Non Player Characters (NPC's) are created then these can be killed (by their creator). But killing must have a purpose. Killing another authors created NPC must only be done with the blessing of the creator.
o No gasumping. The plot goes wherever the latest writer takes it, no exceptions... abusing the thread. The plot must keep continuity and make sense to an outside observer. We must respond to each-others input, not simply change the subject.
o Shorthand: IC and OOC. Simply put 'In Character' and 'Out of Character'. Allows you to add personal comments - congratulate others etc.
Hmm... how dull.
Sorry... otherwise it's really to get lost.
I'm lost completely now. Can we start this again?
