Discussion of "I Have 30 Days to Live" by theblackhand

theblackhand...I know its only still in draft but I wanted to give you a quick encouragement. I love this!
Great idea. Your style is unique and demanding!
And I swear, your writing gets better and better each chapter man.
Nice work...so far...

Thanks Dog....the idea/premise is to get 28 other authors on board to each write one chapter. I wanna be responsible for the 1st and the last chapter.
Each chpt representing how he spent that day and what he chose to do....whether the most gracious of an act that particular day to the most henious...I am requesting that all the October Chill writers (under Psycho's idea) participate, and I will select others I want as well....I look forward to this. Will you be onboard?

i would like to know more of the premis to follow.. i will be i would like to be the 3th..

sorry Hunts...you are placed at number 16...thanks you for joining in.

definately count me in for a chapter. Thanks for the offer!

Finally someone who used real-life resources in support of their text. Even if it is fiction, there is something on a psychological level that screams ''treat it seriously! .''

When I first saw this I wanted to ask is this for real but didn't have the balls. Glad it's a story. You really nailed it. Very intense.

I hope that you will contribute a chapter wsells....

I posted this already, but for those of you who won't see the posting....

I have begun a story that I would like for the selected 28 authors to add an addition to.
All of you I am familiar with your work.

I would be very honored if you all would participate.

I have written a story called "I Have 30 Days to Live." Read it please and understand the plot/issues.

The idea/premise is to get these 28 other authors on board to each write one chapter. I wanna be responsible for the 1st and the last chapter.
Each chpt represents how he spent that day and what he chose to do....whether the most gracious of an act that particular day to the most henious...you choose his days.

If the chosen authors agree to add an addition, the way you will add in your story line will be determined by your response. (If you responded 5th, you write the fifth chapter, and so on).

I hope everyone I have selected agrees. Those of you who read this who where not selected would mainly be because I am not familiar with your works, or the fact that nothing has been posted by some for weeks that I came to love. Nothing intentional or personal.

These are the authors that I ask to participate. Thank you all in advance.

theblackhand

The beggining was pretty neat in the sence, where your kinda forced to keep reading. I like how you did that. I also thought it was serious at first, you did a wonderful job of that. I am considering a follow up chapter, however, I dont know that I could do something like that justice. Thanks for putting me on your list though it made me happy, even though it was just because I am on this site ALL the time. lol

No, I have read your work. Picking out some remaining authors of those I recently read, yours came up. I would like for you to contribute. Is that a yes?

This is an interesting premise, blackhand. I think everyone has had thoughts or variations of the theme, "what would I do if I knew I only had XX days to live?" I can visualize everything from the "serious" (meaning what one would REALLY do) to the way far out (pure fantasy what I would do stuff). Anyway, count me in and thanks for the invite. I'm not sure though how to follow through. Will these be stand alone days or should they mash with the previous day? You've kind of set the tone for chapter two...he has to tell his family...after that?

Stand alone days. You can continue from the previous chapter if there is a leave over into the next day but preferably stand alone....

I was the 6th to comment on the invitation, so I get chapter 7, right?

Being that theblackhand had chapter 1, that is.

This is how it is...Quetz (2), WWB (3), Persephonie (4), so far.....ashaftergreen and dogdeity when they accept....you all may begin....

Day 3 is posted. It's in two parts. CAUTION on part 2. It includes extreme violence and homosexual sex. Hey....I wanted to get down and dirty and this was the first opportunity I've had to do so. If it offends anyone....well, sorry. I warned ya!

**** man, that's intense and sounds so real. Thanks so much for the invite, I'm really honored you asked me.

A pleasure honeygloom...and WWB I haven't read your edition(s) (ha) yet but if this is your outlet for that type of writing with all sincerity I know you kicked ****!!!

Sounds groovy, I like your stuff, count me in.

Brilliant start! Bravo. It's the amount of possibilities that really excites me. Your research shows through the peice. I beleive every good writer is a good researcher, and you are that. Can't wait to boogie on this one.

Might there still be a chance that Boobie Walker can still contribute to this work in progress?

Number 14 boobiewalker...and thanks

and people. don't forget to vote on my story....

I'll have to read the other chapters super duper fast to catch up. I've been very pressed for time lately. Thus far I have gathered that he has a brain tumor, is Ted Kazcinski, and enjoys homosexual acts and murder. That's about all I need to know.

Boobiewalker he is not Ted Kazcinski...he said he will be LIKE him. Please don't get the two confused.

Tomcat forgive me...your number 15...sorry. Thanks for accepting and welcome abooard....

Hey!!! Who's number 6? I need something interesting to read!!!! LOL

Perhaps whoever that person is happens to be as confused as I am of the order, what with all of these multi-part submissions...

I'm sorry for any confusion. I knew this would happen. Cheese, you are up next than Houlgrave. Tomorrow night I will post the order so far. Sorry everyone....

inspiring and heartbreaking

Thank you for commenting. Means alot.

inspiring and heartbreaking

OriginalSim (9) Squarehopper (17)
Thamagnopen (10) Huntsfamouswolf (18)
Honeygloom (11) Tomcat (19)
Pyscho_77 (12)

Great additions and storytelling by the ones who already have.

Honey...I'll trade you Tim Lincecum and a brand new copy of 'Grace' for your #11 slot in this masterful series.
'No' is acceptable, but highly undesired.

Eleven It's yours!!! Will my Tim Lincecum come with a pretty bow?

...whips, chains...a pretty bow. whatever you want Honey G. :-)

I'm such a lucky girl:)

Dog has something up his sleeve.....

Was it something I said, Dog?!??!!

It's my B.O., isn't it?!?!!!

AAAUUUGGGGHHHH!!!! WHERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER? I AM DYIN GOT READ WHAT OTHERS COME UP WITH!!! :)

NEXT!!!!?

Cheeseliker, your up man!!!!!!!!

maybe the next person can take cheeseliker's place and get the ball rolling and he can jump back in it when he's ready?

Already been taking care of....thanks

Houlgrave, if you fail to post a chapter by midnight, then bow out gracefully and let dogdeity11 continue the storyline. We need to keep this going. It wasn't meant to stand still.

I forgot you traded with honeygloom dog. So, Honeygloom, what do you say?

To what? Sorry, I'm lost. I'm fine with trading if that's what you mean. I'm not partial to any number in particular.

Oh, I'm up next. Duh! Sorry. I'll have something by tomorrow at the latest.

What the ****? Why is Bobert Walker no longer numero 14??!!?!! I go away for a few days to explore the caverns of Maya Gordo on a remote island in the Pacific and I return only to have been forgotten?! Oh hell no! Oh hell NO!!!!!! Mr. Theblackhand, I will take this as a slap in the face! You are no longer welcome to add on to my work. In fact, I'd prefer if you stop reading it altogether. You have dishonored me this day. I may have to kill to quell the anger that has festered in my soul over this incident. And not just a hobo this time!!!!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, I'm a little upset about this too. Boobie is one of my favorite author's here and I was totally looking forward to his chapter:(

It was a mistake boobiewalker. When I went and read the comments I must have mistakenly overlooked your name. I'm sorry and this was not intentional. Please, accept the chapter after honeygloom as a offer of forgiveness/good faith and I will fix the way everyone follow again. I am sorry for this.

honey, you are too sweet for words. blackhand, by rearranging it yet again, dont you think it's just going to **** up the entire order again? **** christ, i dont want to be that guy!

Boobiewalker, I will adjust it just for you. Those who fail to understand my mistake and good faith of rectifying it do not wish to be here anyway. so, do you accept or what soldier?

Oh, sure! Throw ME under the bus, willya? Ok, then! I'm writing a first chapter for the new contest and TheBlackHand is the main character! Maybe I'll kill him off, maybe I won't!!! And I'll figure a way to take Ms. Honey Gloom and Mr. Boobie Walker to the heights of despair. And then... and then... er. someone mash this post, quick! I'm outta ideas!!!!

Seriously, though, I have no problem with Mr. Walker's insertion! It just makes it that much more exciting to work on this project.... fer me, anyways!!!! Just let me know when I'm up & I'll add my nonsense. Er. 2 cents, I mean.

Thanks for understanding OS....that's playing team ball.

Blackhand am I still chapter ten?

I made a error by leaving boobiewalker's number out of the author listing. Currently I am trying to rectify this problem but if he does not respond by Sunday evening the list will continue on as is.
