Discussion of "The Plot Thickens" by ShadowMan

Indeed, the plot thickens. I was hoping for a clue about the army of bums, but I'm a patient man...lol. Or, are you waiting for Nashvillebecker to handle it? Your ending here could easily take it off into another direction.

I know where "I" would go with the army of bums, but this splitting point is integral to where I envision the plot to be headed.

Crap. No pressure. No whammies, no whammies, no whammies and STOP! No socks either. (For those of you who know how I vote, that means a 5.)

I'm torn. On one hand, I like the way no one has taken consecutive chapters with this mess. On the flipside, you implied that you see where it's headed. Sure, the site's built so multiple branches can shoot from this trunk. It'd relieve my pressure if someone else felt the urge to step up and pop in the next chapter.

Either way, I'll write something tomorrow night. It'll take me that long to figure out where to steer. Heck, it'll take me that long to find the steering wheel.

(For a silly site like this, it's pretty addicting.)

I agree - very addictive and the format lends itself to sharpening our story-telling skills. My next mash will address the "other end" the blue-eyed man mentions. If it helps, the original author wsells said he would be joining the mash party.

I was going to the other end too. What to do? I'll stop for chips and salsa and meet you there.

Oh, and a five too!

Okay, chips and salsa it is. I'm done until you guys catch up.

Gave you a 5..... What talent you have ShadowMan.

Hey shadow, you rock.

Gave you a big fat juicy 5 dude.

Thanks everyone - next chapter is up, one from me and one from Nash.

I'm going to repost mine behind The Border to keep one definitive storyline going. If the story itself branches, writers can go whatever direction. I'm thinking this was merely a coincidence that we posted so closely time-wise.

Good work!!
