PLEASE READ RULES\/I had an idea to make a type of forum game where you wrote a single paragraph, and then let other people continue it off of you, like a single story written by multiple people. I got the idea from a friend who told me of a college writing exercise, where two people would email back and forth to each other, each writing a single paragraph until the story was over. I put it into this section only because it should be viewed a bit more serious than anything in the Forum Games section, but less so than the Serious RP. In truth, this is a great exercise to practice writing. Let me just lay down the rules, then.
1: Normal color text is canon, yellow is out of writing, A.K.A., discussion.
2: Don't make useless 1 line paragraphs.
3: When writing dialogue, make sure to do more than just one character.
4: No introducing a million and three characters.
5: Stay away from touchy subjects.
6: Don't 180 the storyline, it gets confusing.
7: Keep the story going!
8: AND ONLY WRITE ONE PARAGRAPH!
(9): Oh, and wait a couple posts before posting another paragraph, so, say I type a paragraph, then Macid does, I can't type another one, otherwise it'll turn to just two people writing it.
(10): please refrain from using your fursona.
(11): minimum of 4 lines.
Sorry for the flood of rules, if their is any that you think need to be removed/changed, PM me.
*rules are a to change based on differing situations.
Each page in this topic counts as a chapter. If we get to "chapter" 50, then the story is considered over, unless it actually hasn't ended.
Ready? Let's go!
CHARACTER LIST
Otebon (Prtagonist #1/3)

The sun shone brightly, unhindered by a cloudless sky. Birds flew, casting shadows upon the ground. The snow of the past winter was beginning to melt, and everything was getting warmer. Even the trees seemed to sense the change, budding new leaves like a change of clothes. Spring was coming.
Yes, I think a minimum of 5 lines would have been better. I also want to add that I will be adding a new rule: Don't use your fursona, please. This is supposed to be a story-like theme, so I'd prefer to keep it at one main character for a little bit, and to make sure that no one complains when their fursona is forced to do something. But, it's too late to do that now, I suppose. So, Otebon, I'm going to borrow your character for the storyline.
Otebon strolled leisurely towards the fridge. Opening it, he remembered the days when he were younger that his parents would tell him about a penguin that, faster than the speed of light, would run in and turn the light within the fridge on upon opening. He let out a soft chuckle at the preposterous thought, as he removed the ham and bread from the fridge. Outside, the birds were chirping softly, loudly, and every other level of noise between.
In other words, Tammo, only Otebon's character is canon. I say this only because he posted first. Also, Otebon, since it is your character, you are allowed to make the most decisions on that characters part, for example, who his "arch-nemisis" is, although others may invent one.
also, let's establish a good storyline after a few more posts, please.
