"This one time, Nathuram and I..." - Contest!
Introduction
- Well I see all these hangout threads in The Menewsha Nation, but none seem to have direction or topic in their conversations. But fear not! I am here to put an end to the wretched stupor which has plagued Menewshans for too long! Join me, in this vast and epic adventure.
About the Adventure
- The concept of this thread is to write short, obscene, ridiculous continuations of the short, obscene, ridiculous story before you. There are several guidelines, however. Please note that when I refer to "continuations", I am also referring to the beginnings and endings of the stories as well.
- [list:82d7dba999]» All continuations must be written in small violet font. All other text will be understood as out-of-story chatting.
» Please keep the continuations literate, written in a past tense, and written with decent grammar. I understand that most of us aren't english majors, though.
» Please keep continuations to a small paragraph in length. Something between 3-5 sentences is fine.
» To prevent traumatic posting collisions, I will be choosing who will write the next continuation of the story. Your chance of being picked depends on several variables, including how often you frequent the thread, how creative and literate you seem to be, how well you appeal to me, etc.
» If you wrote a continuation recently, then you may have to wait a while until I pick you again, to assure diversity.
» If I pick you to finish a story, it must end with "True story. Srsly."
» If I pick you to begin a story, it must start with "This one time, Nathuram and I..."
» Remember that, unless you finish a story, someone will continue the story after you. Be sure to leave creative leeway. Or, if you want to be especially torturous, leave a horrid cliffhanger.
» The most important thing of all, however, is to be as creative, obscene, and ridiculous as you possibly can.
These guidelines were created to assure enjoyment of the fullest in this thread :][/list:u:82d7dba999]
Exempli Gratia
- To reassure that the guidelines are completely understood, I shall write an example! Please do not use the example in your own continuations.
[list:82d7dba999]Person One:
- This one time, Nathuram and I went to an aquarium to study the color patterns of beta fish for a school paper of ours. The strangest thing happened, though, when we walked through the archway of the stingray exhibit. Soon after passing through, we were transported into an aquatic dimension, and we had adapted gills!
Person Two: The water was crystal clear, like that of a tropical ocean, and there was a rainbow colored coral reef not far from us. Mesmerized by the colorful fish, we decided to swim closer to the reef. But just as we began our journey, we noticed a large shark charging in our direction!
Person Three: Fearing for our lives, we panicked and quickly looked for a place to hide. We were too slow, though, but our fear was soon subsided. It turns out that the shark was actually friendly! He offered us some tea and crumpets, as well as a tour around his wonderful reef, which he happened to be the mayor of! We looked around, and it was amazing.
True story. Srsly.
