Hi Here's my take on the story so far
I think the story should just progress in a completely free, random, hit and miss peculiar and surprising way. I think it should keep going until it runs out of steam and stops - or until someone pulls the plug. I think anyone should do anything to any part of the story - which includes altering it and changing it, and altering and changing things other people have written. (Although I don't think anyone should subtract anything - in case someone decides to erase great chunks.) Feel free to change anything I've written. It's not something I'm precious about. I wasn't planning to enter my contributions for the Pulitzer prize for badgers. As the different versions turn up I'm sure someone (maybe me) will add them all together. Let it be like a giant snowball that rolls down the snow fields of art, scattering wolverines and badgers, and let's just see where it turns up or if it demolishes any little wooden huts. So - that's what I think. Crumpets anyone? Big Al writes: just how is this story thing working? i keep getting differing versions some with my additions, others without. who is editing it? who chooses what's in and/or out? in one my entry had been changed, quite possibly for the better, but i don't think that that should happen. it's nice knowing who's contributed but not what they've contributed, it sort of provides a 'puzzle' element too, trying to work out who did what, based solely on impressions given via email - good fun, but it doesn't work if we change each others work. this is of course me speaking, or rather typing, from a 'non-writer' viewpoint...... ahem, sorry.....whistles sheepishly, goes back to work doggedly, meets himself in the corridor and becomes very worried. (sheep worrying! geddit? - oh suit yourselves!) x
