High-Hat
Let's face it, in order to maintain proper spelling and grammar, you have to have words to spell right, and use properly.
Here is how it works.
I'll start with a Word.
"Tanabe"
The next poster adds another word.
"Groped"
This continues until we have a sentence like,
"Tanabe groped her hyperactive crack monkey."
We should come up with about 40 sentences, all connecting to make a short story. Easy, Right?
Not so fast. Of course the proper sentence has to have boring conjunctions, but try and use large, complex meaning words, or very descriptive adjectives. They don't all have to be words like, "armamentarium", but you should get what I mean.
You can end a sentence whenever you think it should, by including a period at the end of your word.
Don't overuse the larger words.
Don't post more than one word in a row. Wait until someone adds on after you, then you may post again.
Don't talk in this thread. Just post words, with some sort of sense making order.
Once we get to page 20 or so, I'll collect the words, write out the story, and post it in a new topic.
To make sure we all don't try to add on after a certain word, post at least two minutes after the last post was made. That way we can keep order.
Have fun!

And now... the twist! The word you pick must begin with the last letter of the previous word. In other words, say I start with "zebras". The next word should be an "s" word.
It should start to look something like this: Zebras slurped dirty yams, snickering gingerly. Etc, etc.
Understand? Good. The first word is.... Yogurt
