Or, you could put on your thinking cap and add to it! Just because one person deems something "dead" doesn't mean it can't be brought back to life.

Yea, i was disappointed about that because I put my heart and soul into that and even smoothed out the part poppa was complaining about.

I could feel your disappointment, candy... I know you worked hard on trying to get it to go in a certain direction, which shouldn't have been necessary.

It is funny that someone who never posted in it wants it down.

sorry kids, but in this case I agree with true. Without criticizing any contributions made, the storyline lost its way and for me became a jumbled mess. But that's ok for it was fun while it lasted. I second the request to unsticky.

Hey there pop, my question is why is it up to one peep to make that request for everyone here...I could see start a thread to see how many would like to add to or have it be gone, ya know, and is it really bothering the forum in anyway??? For me, it has been a chuckle to see the blending of minds. Good Job All! Thanks to you for starting it, Dude.

Since no one has touched it for a couple weeks, the request to end the sticky is apt in my view.

All set -- the topic has been released from its "sticky" position.

Cheers,

Hey there, Poppa... I think the only reason the storyline lost it's way was because someone was trying to "direct" it and edit it along the way and it stopped becoming the spontaneous story that it was. Anyhoo, a lesson learned for future stories? To all that contributed, the talent was obviously there! So thanks.

Moom thats probably me you're talking about since I was the biggest contributor. I hope I'm not the reason why it stalled and if so I do apoligize for that. If I stepped on anyones toes about that story, please forgive me for that. You were all great writers. I love ya moom.

Candy, no way! You were the greatest contributor, along with Poppa and then jj can write really well... everyone was great, especially you! And you tried the hardest to get it back on track when requested. But I saw no reason for requests for editing the direction, etc, but let's move on from that now. It was a great "trial" novel, to say the least, and kudos to everyone who contributed.

LOL, I know I can be a buttinski when it comes to writing because I love it and I know poppa asked about editing too and Room bless her sweet heart wants to share the blame with me too. I'm truly not offended, I was actually sitting here laughing about it because I know how I am but my dear friend we shall move on and see what I can get into with Rooms short story!

I have very thick skin and it's really hard to hurt my feelings. The novel fizzled, no big deal. We can always start a new one whenever we want.
