    Ok..I am getting a grip on what your looking for.

    It would be many writers (Yes please count me in!) developing a story based on "Your" DAR..we would simply write about it.

    Am I close?

    Or

    do many writers write different stories based upon DAR in a game we each have individually played?

    Look at it like this:

    I am a hunting dawg, ok?

    I am in a box on the back of the truck and your the great white hunter.

    You know what your looking to have as a trophy kill, ok?

    But, I dont quite know until I get let loose from this "box" and you take my leash off, and let me run down this story (Trophy), ok?

    I promise to hunt real good for you just need a "leetle" direction.!

    When I was a mere lad in the 7th grade, I asked my writing lab teacher for direction on what exactly I should write about. I got possibly the best learning tool I ever used. She told me to go get my dictionary (pre online one, ya had to actually "open" a book!) and I closed my eyes and had to put my finger on 25 words and then take the 25 words and make a story based upon a subject that she would pick out. It may have been about a family picnic, a basketball game, a storm or just a walk in the snow, but it made me stop and think.

    The second best training tool was we took a tape recorder and had to make 10 "commericals" from 10 items we drew from a hatr and then make up a name and a selling tool for each, I drew a lawnmower and then had to take 10 words from my dictionary and make them "fit". The words were drawn prior to me knowing my subject.

    This would be what I would refer to now as "Thinking outside the box"

    At any rate (Longwinded aint I? )

    1000 words or 10,000 words aint no problemo fer Hermano Bruce!

    Peace

      All I can say is... What took you so long?

      You've been registered since 2000, and only now found us? You could have written a bunch of great stories by now.

        A group of writers will be writing a story based on a DAR of my choosing. Hope that helps

          Chris's story seems a good length to me. Any other people that you think might join this?

              I'll try to get a DAR as soon as possible. How about, I post multiple DAR's and you guys choose the best one to write about?

                Sure..but only ONE Issue..

                Can we start a DAR and do it..instead of talking about it?

                Id gladly start once you give the topic..and direction..

                I just hate having the mentality of a "committee meeting"..you know..get together, talk about it, vote on it, make a motion, second approved and then..

                I just wanna let loose and write!!


                Thx

                              Met's first funny lil thang

                              Alexander, Shaka, Joan, and Catherine found themselves wandering through a weird place. Everything was white, including their clothes, hair, teeth, eyes, skin, they were all dopplegangers, blank persons except for a knowledge of their own name.

                              Catherine spoke up, "Is this heaven?"

                              "Ha! If this were heaven YOU certainly wouldn't be here, and there would definitely be like at least 400 hot chicks for every pound of flesh you drag around." Alexander snorted.

                              "Yeah besides, we got ol' baldy over here," Shaka said motioning to Joan.

                              "GIVE ME A BREAK!! We're all white haired now, we all look friggin' bald!" Joan retorted.

                              "What should we do?" Catherine wondered aloud.

                              "Well, one thing that seems to work a lot in these little 'situations' is to break character and just lay a big fat WTF on that guttersnipe, Metaliturtle."

                              "Good idea!"

                              "Hey Metaliturtle! Why did you stick us in this freaked up messed out place anywho?"

                              Metaliturtle was a bit flustered, but he answered as best as he could, "well guys, it looks as if the parties in power wish this one to be written based on a DAR. I'm supposed to get clued in from Nuclear Master I think."

                              Shaka, who had kinda become the 'spokesman' of the quartet, really didn't know what a DAR was, "DAR? You mean a Drunken Armadillo Rebellion? Wow, that's an awesome idea for a story! I would read that for sure, and we get to take part in this Drunken Armadillo Rebellion too? Man dude, we get all the breaks in your stories, you're the only one who lets us fight mammals that are less susceptable to car damage!"

                              "Whatever!" Joan retorted, "DAR doesn't stand for Drunken Armadillo Rebellion! It stands for Dynamic American Robots, and obviously we're going to have to fight that prude Lincoln in a cataclysmic battle of wits and technological fortitude to deal with just how Dynamic these American Robots could potentially be. They could even be really responsible for the way Metaliturtle confuses us."

                              "You are both very much wrong," Stated a know-it-all-sounding Catherine, "Everyone knows that DAR means Daring Assassins of Russia, this is going to be one story where my beauty is going to be appreciated by all... or else!"

                              Metaliturtle chuckled, "Actually I think someone told me it was a During Action Report, it's like a newspaper of the existence of the world."

                              Alexander brightened up a little, "You mean like an Adult newspaper?"

                              "NO!!"

                              "Bummer" His face grew sullen.

                              "Wait a minute, you said this person was a master of things nuclear?" Alexander was intrigued once more.

                              "Umm.. his name is Nuclear Master."

                              "So his words are backed with Nuclear Weapons then"

                              "Kinda hard to Master Nuclear stuff otherwise isn't it?"

                              "Why in the world did you not offer him your whole entire nation if he would refrain from using such weapons?!?!"

                              "Because I don't go to war with people for having a hot personal trainer!"

                              "Too bad dude, those hostage trainers give you some of the best workouts ever, one time there was this Roman chick tha-"

                              "You're done Alexander" Metaliturtle had silenced him for the rest of the story.

                              "Good riddance," The other characters muttered almost in unison.

                              "Well, now what do we do?" Catherine asked.

                              "Seeing the current state of our Grecian friend, I believe our best bet would be charades." Shaka said.

                              "I am not letting you guys play charades while people are watching, someone always puts down "Mouthful" and things just get gross and pornographic." Metaliturtle ended them there in the formless world.

                              ((Hey Nuclear Master I understand about computer problems, and it's really no big deal to me, I just thought this would be funny, I mean, who doesn't want to see a Drunken Armadillo Rebellion in our time? Not me sirrah... Not me.

                              But in all seriousness, I didn't mean to offend you, and if I did I can always edit!))
