I'm going to try to write a post tomorrow but if I can't then it will be this weekend for sure! See you out there!

I thought about writing a post tonight but also thought I might wait until Dash makes another post. Maybe give him the chance to introduce some NPCs. I am also willing to take control of an NPC or two, especially any who might have a direct relationship with Coach Ebberman (maybe the drama...

A long time ago I was a different man Not so long ago

I'm one of those horror fanatics in both writing and film so I'm always a little sad (but not usually surprised) when someone confesses that they're just not into it. That's okay, though because the one genre I love more than horror is fantasy. I started with traditional fantasy, like most...

After the PA cut off and that terrible screeching ceased, the silence that followed was profound. Coach Ebberman wasn't a perceptive man but something deep inside of him screamed for him to run away while he still had a chance. It was an instinct buried deep in the core of Man and smothered by...

I just started my new job and have been pretty busy so I haven't read any new posts after what Dash wrote. I'm going to do some reading tonight and then make a post tomorrow. Is there any sort of posting order established or are we just sort of writing where/when it feels right?

FMA Brotherhood has been at the top of my list for a looong time and will probably remain so for some time more partly because I don't really watch a lot of anime. Cowboy bebop is really good. The episode Toys in the Attic is a particular favorite. I can't really think of any current or recent...

I'm really digging the OP's Abra idea. That sounds really nice. I could save so much money on gas and car insurance. I still enjoy a lot of things from my childhood, like the Pokemon games, but being grown-up just puts an interesting spin on them sometimes. My favorite Pokemon is Dragonite but...

When I saw your name, I immediately imagined that you are actually a squid pretending to be a human named Squid and you can't make me unthink that. I kind of wish someone could, though. However, I also enjoy the occasional character homicide so I for one welcome our new squid overlords...

The stranger's eyes are Looking back at me because I am looking, too Edit: I didn't like this one even when I wrote it. I wish I hadn't posted it. I think the next one does a much better job at how I feel about how much I've changed from just a few years ago but that sometimes feels like...

Exercise daily My body is screaming now Oh what have you done

A terrible screech pierced Mark Ebberman's ears and try as he might, he couldn't drown out the sound. His right arm flailed about as his vision blurred and he was immediately disoriented. It was as if it were coming from another world, far away and yet somehow close. He continued to run down the...

I haven't noticed any threads dedicated to the subject so I'd like to open this up to everyone who would like to try their hand at writing a haiku. Check out this Wikipedia link for more information on haikus. I am by no means an expert on haikus or their history and relevance to Japanese...

Ha! No probs. Even 6'9" is pretty tall and I swear just from personal experience, it always seems to be history teachers who are tall. Maybe they just need to be bigger than the subject the teach. If it's okay with you, I'd like to establish some mild tension between our characters. Not sure if...

I'm going to start writing my first post tonight but it probably won't be finished and posted until tomorrow. I just spent an ungodly amount of time trying to file my taxes on time because I'm bad at grown-up stuff. That aside, I just wanted to say, if any of my fellow players want to get...
