This sounds like a cool idea for a thread, but this forum won't generate enough participants to keep the story going for long.

Have you considered trying the Exercises, Prompts and Games forum?

ETA: It's welcome to stay here, as some have already joined in, but you might have better luck on the other board.

And with complicated rules. I don't understand numbers two, five, seven and nine, but I have a short attention span.

In 11 minutes we had 6 lines.
I was concerned it was going too fast. When I went to post my second line, I had to edit it as I was out of sync with others.

I have run this, from 3 to 4 words on many forums previously and to now 6 word stories and with cooperation they can last for a very long time. Still, majority rules and this story was ended.

Perhaps someone else will pick a new storyline and begin it elsewhere, as you suggest. I am not familiar with many of the forums here yet, sorry.
I am also sorry for being new and trying such radical things, it was obviously a serious error, I apologise. Maybe the mods will delete it and avoid further embarrassment.

RATS! That's what I hate about these kinds of threads. See above. And, I ain't deleting this.

The idea isn't that radical for this forum. Similar threads appear from time to time, but they sink out of sight quickly or are moved elsewhere. That's why I mentioned trying your hand in the other forum linked above, where the story will have a better chance to develop.

And please don't feel embarrassed. We're not trying to give you a hard time, just attempting to steer you in the right direction.

We'll go by my first instinct (which is usually WRONG), and send this one over to another venue that might keep this story moving along.
