@KitFox It's admirable the way you work to keep this chat room flowing

KitFox

I'm just protecting my ownership status.

I mean, I'm dedicated to this site.

I don't know why I think that having a lively chat room with help the main site, but it feels like something I can do to be helpful while the site is in Beta.

I think a chat room is a useful thing to have for a site like this where there are strict rules about what can and can't be posted. It gives an outlet for discussion.

KitFox

What about my cat?

DForck42

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 viv la chat!

@KitFox it's furry and drinks milk

KitFox

She doesn't drink milk, but I can't figure how "viv" means "furry and drinks milk."

:-P

DForck42

@kitfox has anyone else posted their exersice for this week?

@KitFox ;-)

KitFox

Besides me and Matt?

And MetaEd's dad?

I wrote my dialog last night, but I might play with it some more before next week.

yesterday, by Matt Эллен

Here's a short one. Maybe I'll lengthen it, or write a different one. It just sort of flared up ended quickly.

yesterday, by MetaEd

—"Ed," she said, "Put your pants back on and go down to the restaurant and bring me back a bag of tacos."
—"But, dear, I thought you wanted to … uh, you know," he replied.
—"Never mind what you thought," she said. "Oh yes, and get a couple of wet burritos for yourself."

There you go.

DForck42

@KitFox heh, nice

makes me think tarentino meets boondock saints

KitFox

Thank you. You hit the nail on the head.

DForck42

“What’s it look like? Come on, give me hand.”
needs an "a" in there

KitFox

Oh thanks.

DForck42

5:34 PM

@KitFox :-D

KitFox

Personally, I was going for funny. The reactions I've gotten indicate that I wildly missed the mark.

Also, widely.

DForck42

@KitFox heh. yeah, it's interesting, but i didn't find it funny. it had more a dark tone than dark humor

@KitFox interesting take, using a chatroom

KitFox

I agree. I liked it.

DForck42

@KitFox heh, cute

KitFox

Have you edited yours? Or are you going to try something new?

DForck42

5:39 PM

@KitFox i haven't touched it

don't remember if anyone made any remarks about it besides your guffaw

KitFox

Well, we can discuss it if you want, or you can wait until Tuesday if you don't feel like chatting about it.

DForck42

@KitFox that's fine with me

someonelikeme42.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/writing-exercize-two

for convenience

KitFox

Well, "Jesse" pops in out of nowhere.

DForck42

my inspiration for it actually came from a real story that my friend told me about. I jsut change some things and his name, although the dialogue itself is completely made up

@KitFox yeah, i replaced the name, somehow missed that one. fixed

KitFox

Also, you changed tense in that one sentence: Bob pauses for a moment while David starts to put the pieces together.

Everything else is in past tense.

DForck42

5:48 PM

sorry, lunch, be back in a bit

KitFox

Oh sure.

1 hour later…

DForck42

6:50 PM

ok i'm back

MetaEd

I really need to write my own, now. I'm being upstaged by my dad :-)

DForck42

@MetaEd heheh

@KitFox so how should i reword that? "Bob paused for a moment, while David started to put the pieces together"

KitFox

Yeah.

Or change the tense for every other sentence.

DForck42

7:16 PM

@KitFox ok, i updated it

yeah, i'm bad about changing tense

MetaEd

@KitFox So alternate tenses in alternate sentences?

KitFox

All the other sentences?

DForck42

@MetaEd lmao

Hullo.

So do I need a blog to post my story here or what?

MetaEd

9:10 PM

@Gigili No.

Kit likes it if you use a blog though, so she can save the link.

Gigili

OK, good. I don't have a blog and don't like to have one. So I'll just paste it here.

@KitFox I couldn't continue your story. I'll just ruin it!

Dialog. Whatever.

Zig: What's the matter, Teddy?

Teddy: I don't know but I can't move my hands.

Zig: What?

Teddy: And my arm just fell off.

Zig: Are you alright?

Teddy: I hardly know. I'm just happy that my nose is still in its right position.

Zig: I think you shouldn't have watched that horror movie last night.

Teddy: I see no relevance. oh, my teeth...

Zig: I can't be bothered looking at you but if it is a joke, it's not funny.

Teddy: ooooooh...

Zig: mama,mamaaaaaaa, you should sew up Teddy again.

I know it sucks but still. I'll be better!
