Last night I set up the new home for the novel It Goes Without Saying, the latest masterpiece by promising young author Edgar Pildrot. What? You’ve never heard of him? Not a surprise, I suppose, as his epic has not been published yet. It hasn’t even been written, in fact. That’s where you come in. That’s right, dear reader, you can be Edgar Pildrot — or at least a part of him. Chapter 5 is under way, Damien and Alice are on the run from mysterious people dressed all in black, and the only thing that’s missing is what happens next. It could be anything, but it will likely be a bit odd.
If you would like to have a hand in determining the fate of our heroes, pop on over and sign up! (Or, just ask me nicely and I’ll create your account.) Once I’ve given you book-authoring powers, you will be able to add your own two cents to the embryonic novel. There are only two rules: Never use the word ‘said’ and every alternative may only be used once.
Of course, even if you don’t want to participate directly, you are welcome to hang out, read along and heckle comment. Take a look!
I have taken the liberty of inviting a few people who I believe will enjoy taking part. If you get and email with signup instructions, that’s why. If you don’t want to play, just ignore the message.
once period, or once by each author?
Once period. There’s no specific author tracking. It’s just one big group thing. Would you like to play?
Maybe so. If I get in early it will be easier. It’s the last to go that have the rough go right?
Since the entire point is to get to the silly stuff, there’s no reason to wait until the regular speech tags are all used up.
