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

....(creeps back in)... There's also a Royness, don't ya know. Anyway, I'm here, I think I got the titles (on Jen's post?) and I'll have a damned good go at actually writing something this time.

Aha! The stranger 'Roy', who had us all confused a few days ago, has returned to the Spider's Web - Welcome back, Sir!!

So deadline Saturday 5th March & the titles again are:

Mask
The Test
No Rehearsal
Secret Keys

Lynda & Station - if you leave a note (or email) for Sonny of Writers' Dock he'll be sure to help you out. And BTW, I NEVER feckin' curse... )

Well helloooo Roy

Hiya wee brighteyed Jen (who never needs a wink of sleep)

Managed to get into WD last night, AND on to the chat line thingymummy, quite proud of meself.

Do you want to know how stupid I am - people send me links to things, and WD sent me a huge link to activate my account, well, wait for it, I have been painstakingly copying the lnks by hand, and only last night realised you could cut and paste them ( thats why half the time I ca't get links to work)

Now you can't beat that for stupidity

Awh... you poor, poor soul!!
AND you made me spill my damn coffee with laughter! Are you for real - by HAND?? What are we going to do with ye, missus!

I know, Hubby is still laughing, which is getting a bit annoying now

God help us!!

And thank feck we're not on the same flight to B'ham! Phew!

In an emergency they might want me to work the onboard computer

Fly Me To The Moon... Agggghhhhh!!

Well I've done one - but should I post it here? It all seems very empty...

No rehearsal - A3710981

Kate (listening to faint echo as her 100 worder lands)

Ahoy Roy! Good to see you back!

Lynda, you're not alone. I have technophobia as well. Once I'm into a package - like Photoshop or Word - then I'm ok. But can't do anything else. Haven't even peeked at Writers Dock yet. Took me over a month to get onto Ican - and then found I'm registered with my own name as nickname, and Fat Gardener as my real name. Probably registered as FG as well. Oh well, an extra vote for the cause.

Hi FG. Am in the chat room on WD , good chat.
Not deserting this place though. Will be here till the bitter end.
spidey

Hi Spidey - quick as a flash you have been and gone! I've never visited a chat room.

I must be an old fogey - better get young before I get old.

Lo ~FG, I managed to get into WD, eventually, and have just been over in the chatroom and it is really weird, I don't think it will suit me at all because I work better with a little time delay to think and type. There, it is too fast and by the time I post the moment is gone and I end up looking like an idiot

Nice to see you back, and I;m looking forward to your story

And now YOU'RE gone and spideys back, I am getting really confused

At this rate the winner will be Kate as she is the only one who has posted.

What is it guys? Low morale, the weather, busy elswhere?

I'l extend the deadline..to the 12th March. Come on, let's make this last challenge one to be proud of..... shakes her pom poms at you.
Go 100 worders, go, go, go, rah , rah, rah.

On the subject of continuing on Writer's Dock. There is another 60/100 worder group too and they would like somewhere else to do their stuff. What say we amalgimate on WD? I've held off setting up a board there till I asked you lot.

spidey

I think its a mixture, spidey. GW is dead in general.

I'll go along with whatever you decide - I wouldn't mind either our own group or one big one. I get the feeling another group would soon form anyway, just like it did after this one.

Hi Spidey

I've get some feedback from the 60 word fiction group and I think they want to stick with what they know. Most of them are new to GW and many are new to writing, so the idea of competition and scoring is worrying them.

Also, there are 42 members - if they all transferred to the 60 word challenge, reviewing and scoring would be a mammoth task.

I'm just not sure how writer's dock would feel about two groups - even though they would be doing two different things on the same theme.

What do you think?

Cheers

K.

We need to keep it small if we're going to keep on with the scoring.

And lynda - you can always pm people if the 'instant chat' is too much

I think you're right, Weaver. I'll ask the mods at WD if I can move the 60 word fiction group there on the 24th March, explaining that it is a separate entity from the challenge, with different rules. If the challenge got too big it would be impossible to score fairly.

Cheers

K.
