a blatant ripoff

in which we steal the idea of www.storyf---.com, because we could not figure out how to enter their game and also because they probably would not have allowed two close friends to collaborate on one story. so, here we do basically the same thing, but since we know each other well, and love/hate each other, and find immense pleasure in slinging verbal insults at each other daily, this should be a fascinating and amusing endeavor.

the rules

there are two authors: laura (myself) and greg (my friend who lives in the greater d.c. area). we take turns writing chapters in a story. we have to draw on and use what the other person has written, and keep the story somewhat coherent, but we try to make it harder for the other to continue it. like tennis.

our *timetable is as follows (the endpoints are where one person has to be finished and the other starts the next chapter):

at the bottom of each chapter is a button to go to the next one, so if you start at chapter one you can seamlessly read through the entire thing. unless, of course, you are illiterate.

chapter one (laura)

chapter two (greg)

chapter three (laura)

chapter four (greg)

chapter five (laura)

chapter six (greg)

chapter seven (laura)

chapter eight (greg) finally!

* the whole timetable idea is pretty much a moo point, since we both always finish way early because we are sad gits with no useful hobbies.**

you know, a moo point. irrelevant, like something a cow would say. don't look at me like i'm stupid.

** okay so at a certain point we (greg) stopped writing for a very long time, so the timeline became a moo point for a different reason.
