Community Story: In the style of SeattleSmutWriter

[_Bond James Bond]

Hopefully when we do the sequel the later comments (after the ending was announced) will be incorporated into the beginning of the new story. No worries. "Wet liquid beer" jokes are golden.

[_Blixa]

As ad hoc editor of last nights writer's group, I just finished editing the collective narrative. Since we were often posting simultaneously (some of us from chat, some of us just stumbling on the thread in media res), my first editorial move was to reorder some of the posts which had originally appeared out of chronological order. My next step was to clean up typos and some variations in the spelling of the female protagonist's name (Jayme was Jaymee in a couple of posts). Lastly, I took a slightly more drastic step and deleted two posts which seemed impossible to fit into the overall arc of the story. No insult was meant or judgment made on the value/humor of the posts on their own: they simply did not fit what was otherwise a remarkably tight story. And remarkably so because it was written by nearly a dozen authors posting simultaneously amid the MDB board's historically slow loading time.

You will see that the project was first kicked off by Mr. Stakhanovite who suggested it as a parody of the now infamous work by "SeattleSmutWriter." However, the story soon took on a life of its own, allowing each author to not only parody standard tropes of bad writing (floods of adjectives and the kind of banal repetitions like "wet water" that are actually a much mocked stylistic habit of L. Ron Hubbard's fiction), but to also satirize the spartan stylistics of Hemingway while inserting jokes about Mormon and Old Testament scripture.

I'm posting the full text in a separate thread...see you there.
