Me and WriterX are starting up this craziness called 'the writing game' again <3
- and you'll love it
Rules/What to do:
1-Start a RenIchi or IchiRen piece; it's free to go both ways too! :D
2-You are free to write as long or as short as you want on each piece in the game. There's no limit on how long/short the story should be, but it's to be a one-shot.
3-You are free to skip writing on a piece if you don't have the time or find the inspiration to do so, but you must write on the first one (the one you're throwing into the game).
4-There will be two rounds to the game - a writing round, and a final editing round. For the writing round you MUST pass the piece on to the next in line before fourteen days have passed. For the final editing round the pieces MUST be passed on before seven days have passed. We will give everyone a complete list of writers so you'll know in which order to pass things on.
5-Keep in mind that the story should be finished before it comes back to the one who started it*. iow- no HUGE complex plot. If you get a story that you feel won't be done before it comes back to the one who started it, send a request for it to go one more turn - if people approve of that, it will.
5.5-On the other hand, if the story seems finished when it gets to you and you're not at the end of the line, don't feel like you have to force it to go on. If this is the case, you have the option to instead start a new story to send to the next person in line.
6-Don't drive the story into a corner just because you don't have to dig it out of there yourself <3
7-It would be nice if you could leave a little sum of where you're heading - if it's not obvious/pwp (cuz we all know where we're going there >_>)
8-You don't have to follow the sum you get from the previous writer - that's the whole love of it all, you don't know how your own story will be finished ^^<3
9-The one who originally started the story will be the one to spell check and post it into their journal. When you post it, be sure to credit all writers who worked on the story (preferably in the order they contributed to it). As for further posting into communities, you'll have to have all the writers' approval before you do that.
10 - We all write differently (first person, third person, past, future, diary style, or whatever); try to keep it in the style that the story started in - if you can't, change it in a way that won't look weird.
11-When all stories are done and up, we will have a vote to decide the best one! :D
*Rule 5 - The part about it being finished before it comes back to the first person might change depending on how many writers participate.

Come on! Let's get this party started again!
Think of the porn! Someone think of the porn!
Edit: forgott to say it. WE'RE KICKING THIS OFF THE 20th MARCH! (that's a Saturday)
