On random occassions, I change the featured story linked in my signature, and hopefully, people have been checking them out.

In any case, I felt the urge to go an extra step and make a thread about the one I'm advertising now. Created and carried by The Last True Evil, "Rough Sketches of a Happy Ending" takes interactive story writing on Massassi's ISB in an uncommon direction, intending to create more real/surreal types of relationship-based stories rather than the sci-fi/fantasy stories that often focus on physical fights. The direction is best understood by reading what TLTE has already posted, so go check it out!

To make this thread a little more reply-friendly, I would be very happy if you all would post what sort of stories you'd like to write and/or read on the ISB. Thanks!

For the record, I know you guys think that writing Internet stories on a gaming website is like inventing a new sub-category of loser to put yourself in, but...er...you're wrong. I think.

*snip* I totally read what you said wrong. sorry.

*smacks forehead*

I seriously think it's cool to be able to write a story with other people, twisting the plot in ways you couldn't have thought of. I don't participate in the ISB, but I don't see how that would make me a loser if I did.

And anyone who's ever read a CYOA book is a nerd!

[/sarcasm]

In other ISB news, a revival of Life in the Massassi Temple is being masterminded.

Oh, right...

We should have a meeting about that or something.


(Reading the new story now. I might get in on this one!)

Yes... we should... >.>

I'm still amazed how the entire thing kinda spawned just because I walked in and shot the place up like Neo. XD

It better be...

I think there may be some misunderstanding on TLTE's comment. He was simply encouraging people to visit the ISB, as he knows the ISB is not the most popular/active of boards, is all.

so it's like a collection of short stories, right? sounds good, especially with me now trying to set myself a goal to write everyday, write good or bad - but everyday. i like how TLTE's pieces are titled by musical influences, too. i'll probably continue the, ehm, notion.

That's exactly what it is, Koobie. It was a concerted effort from me to write regular, brief and random ideas, and in a style of my choosing, with my musical references. But then I suppose many writers could use the same concept...

Well I sent some things out to the original writers [Noble Outlaw, Happydud, Pheonix[numberisms], You [tony], Edward and G-man I tihnk it was. 3 of 6 replied :).

Anyways, what should we use to heave some sort of meeting on it? Irc? Because it's a little annoying just using E-mail like I've been doing.

yeah... reply time is something of an issue then. =P

IRC, AIM or MSN for me. Take your pick.

I vote msn, Simply because Noble Outlaw is already in my list.
