The round robin lives once more, for the moment. Thx Indea.

Round robin is so much fun. Dr. Birkins is a mad scientist, yo.

Hey, Kristi. One reason I haven't done a round robin entry in a while is that the story is giving me refrigerator blindness with the density of turnarounds. Could you explain where you see it now, in simple terms?

I'm not sure you're fridge blind. My sister is always telling me how I have above average skills in the art of deciphering plots, so maybe when I come up with a plot out of thin air it only makes sense to me?
Here's a timeline I have in my head based on what's happened within the round robin thus far/why it doesn't seem as turnaround-y to me:
Ricky got a gecko when he met Samuel. Gecko sends friends Ricardo, Samuel, and Johnny to another dimension where humans serve as hosts to the main food source of a rare species of giant gecko. Ricardo suffers the fate of one of these hosts.
Trying to catch a break Sam somehow uploads a sort of "living hologram" of his childhood home, but is revealed by a woman's voice on loud speakers to be mad scientist Dr. Birkins, and that he was involved with this twisted gecko breeding project. Now Johnny is probably going to want some answers (and Ricky as well if he's conscious enough).
ETA: I see this going in the direction that Birkins didn't mean to get his friends wrapped up in the scheme, and that Birkins joined Johnny and Rick on their date night so that he could help them survive the danger to come. That's just what I have in mind. I want anybody writing in this to do whatever they want with the plot.

'Sup, Trinity!!! I read your fiction in the Kingfisher comments section a few days back and was hoping you'd start posting here! Your goldfish piece was so sad. I'll love the lonely goldfish. I'll love him forever!

I hope she reads that. I'm realizing our action is really spread out here. Trying to give succinct descriptions of how we do is kinda impossible.

I hope so, too! I usually look at the "twenty most recent posts" - but even that method is a little confusing, especially to newcomers.
I know! I'll use hash tags. #Trinity #I like your stories

Hey, Trinity. If you'd like, you can do poetry in a separate area: horrorboys.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=poetry If you prefer to keep your works all in one spot though, it's cool where you have it. The Greyburn Story - I have to say, I did not expect to see someone write that guy as being kinda sexy / cool like that, and it fit, in that this is the way Harlan's fashionistas have come to see him. Also, the hint (these angels gonna die) vs. where you chose to end it (calm comfort) was delightful. <33 The fish poem - You're very good at bringing the emotion in short form. I like. The insomnia story - Dunt Dunt DUNNNNN!!! Can't wait to see more. As an admin for a forum, I have to wonder what kind of beast my counterpart in that story may turn out to be. Lastly, I'd like to bring your attention to horrorboys.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=writing&action=display&thread=448 which is where we talk about our ideals of good behavior on the forum. We don't have an enforcement system or anything. Let me know if you have any Qs or comments about that.

You guys, staaahp. You're makin' me feel so looovveed. I'm very pleased that you enjoyed my works, though! I sort've started 'Insomnia' on a whim. I have the idea, my problem is how do I write it? As far as poetry, I've written something here and there, but this was years ago, and I honestly haven't written anything such since!
I got the idea for the fish story from a friend of mine. Her nickname is Bunj, and her icon on my skype is a goldfish. And then I started thinking about things like "What if goldfish could think? What would they think off? Do they have emotions like us?" And so on and so forth.
I'm sure you've noticed I haven't given any characters any names yet. I use female and male pronouns if I usually cannot come up with a name for a character. So if you have a suggestion for a name for the character in Insomnia, please lemme know! ..Orifyouhaveideasforthestoryingeneral.. <3 I'm very happy you all enjoy what I have to offer! I might be late on some stuff, with school and my family and whatnot, but I'll try to upload pieces when I have the time.
IF I MIGHT MAKE A SUGGESTION!: I think it'd be very interesting, Chris-mah-man, if there was a Roleplay board here. Or is there one already? If not, I developed my own characters months ago, and frequently roleplay with them on a separate forum with friends of mine. I think it'd be pretty cool to do that here, too!
Anyways, i'm off to toss around ideas. Once again i'm happy you all like my stuff'n'shiz. - T

I wrote a short story many moons ago about a high school bio lab hamster that had to escape the abusive biology teacher, before he could be devoured by his own mother. There were formaldehyde zombie frogs and there totally should've been some other horrifying creatures, like undead worm masses or semi-intelligent hermit crab monsters. That was a long time ago.

Trinity- There are name generating sites you can use for stories. I used them for my NaNoWriMo story a bit. Fun writings you have there. @brett- That sounds all kinds of awesome, perhaps you could turn it into an epic poem?
