h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

, hows it going kid?

I see you like that Post picture too. I particularly like the creepy cow with one eye bigger than the other.

Just here to ask something really. I see you write the Tom Green chronicals in the post, and I'm about to get a story (The 168th Greatest Story in the Universe - A Tribute [I really must find a short way of saying that]) serialised in the post, and am still kind of writing sporadically, and think it'll probably catch me up at some stage. Have you got the whole story written in advance, or do you write them as you go along aswell?

I'm too lazy to write them all at once, so I do them as I go.

But I highly reccomend doing more than one at once (whenever you can, and then sending them all) because, well it's a very very good idea. Gives you a nice time wondow to do more.

Thanks, . I've currently got 3 parts completely finished, a fourth which is nearly finished, and a fifth which is about a paragraph and a bit long. I was thinking about spending a couple of hours at some stage writing a load of it up (which is pretty much how I started). Again, like you, I have the not very rare disease of laziness.

So then really Ver/Terran (ha), you need to write as much as you can when you feel like it, and then submit it all at once. It makes the Post editors happy, and it gives you a lot of time to work on your next chapters.

I'll do that then

I'm up and running now by the way (A972920). What do you think of the picture?

I love the pic...!


...it makes me want to draw up a graphic for the TGC... <---drooling---

Anyway, very very nice. *pats him on the head*

Have you read any of the Chronicles...? (If so, what d you think...? I'm starting to get a bit nervous as no one has commented at all! )

I've read the first one and the last one. (So I'm missing a few) But I certainly think your method of writing is very interesting, its in a kind of a script, and the characters are unorthodox - which is always a good thing in my book.

In the first one it said something about you e-mailing someone else the story, and they write another chapter and so on. How much did you actually write with him?

Anyway, thanks for the complement. I actually wrote a few more paragraphs last night for chapter five and I seem to have a clearer idea of how I'm going to end it. Of course you'll have to wait a while for that

Anyway, keep up the good work ,

Jade : I just noticed that you've got a post reporters badge (well at least in brunel), how did you get that?

...I wrote fiml reviews for the Post in the Dark Ages (translation: Last year.)

I had to stop over the summer tho 'cause I had to work too entirely much. COuln't keep up with it. I mean, /you/ try working twelve hour days and then wanting to write stuff.

Anyway tho, yeah I wrote the original chronicles with the guy I'm currently dating (that would be Firefly), and if I recall, we write about eighty or so chapters by the time we were too spent to write any more.
