Sign me up for writing.

Hookbill the Goomba · 11-22-2007, 02:56 PM

Are there any more takers? I'd like to start before Sunday if that's okay with everyone. So, we could do with a few more volunteers otherwise it'll be doubles again...

But doubles are great fun.

I still wouldn't mind having a few more people, though: the more the merrier...

A Little Green · 11-23-2007, 08:46 AM

Can I still join up?

Finduilas · 12-23-2007, 05:56 PM

I am really sorry, but I won't have my picture ready till New Years, maybe a few days later. So sorry.

Don't fret Find. That's actually probably good for me, because it's getting so busy with the Phantom and Alien Christmas special and other surprises I have in store for Christmas and new year taking up so much of my waisted time.

Nimrodel_9 · 12-25-2007, 08:09 PM

I can draw now.

Finduilas · 01-13-2008, 11:10 AM

You said to beg as many days as I need, but I think I'm over doing it... But, I made the mistake of working on the picture on a computer that isn't were I can access it very well..... So I haven't been able to work on it for several days. I will try to go quickly when I finally get it back. So sorry. (This is why I didn't join up in a hurry...)

The Might · 01-18-2008, 05:31 AM

I don't mean to be impolite, but c'mon...almost one month?!

Do remember that we had a bit of a break at Christmas and New Year. But we are back on target now.

mwahaha. Don't worry about being impolite, I deserve a neg-rep.

Nimrodel_9 · 01-24-2008, 05:31 PM

Umm.... ok. I sent it again. Hopefully it goes through this time.

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-25-2008, 03:34 AM

So, for this time, for a novelty, we began with a picture of epic proportions…

Nimrodel was terrified. So full of fear that all we got was this:

Though Phantom and Alien tried to stop him, Gandalf stole a piggy from the orphanage to impress his manager, Sauron, at KFC by making the poor swine the new secret ingredient.

Aganzir’s dreadful prophesies were coming true! Indeed, after a picture drawing session it became all to clear… and horrible…

Legate was fed up of the usual things. As we shall see…

“Detective Phantom and his sidekick Alien investigate a new case. Why does Gandalf capture little pigs from local pig orphanage? Does it have anything to do with Sauron's newly opened fast food restaurant?”

Lommy’s days were numbered. Numbered 1 to 10. She later took her calendar back to the shop and then on the back of her receipt, she drew this masterpiece.

Volo was confused. So were we all. And this was the result of all that confusion…

Respected Professor G. Mithrandir is peacefully walking from the Pig Orphanage to McSauron's hamburger bar. G. Mithrandir has a sack over his shoulder which goes "oink", but it's purely a coincidence - or so private detectives P. Hantom and A. Lien think

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-25-2008, 03:35 AM

The Elf warrior fought long and hard along the long and hard road. We’re not sure why…

No one would have believed that The Might had any sense of direction. But that is unimportant.

Jabba the Hut, a Sarlacc (the worm on Tatooine) and an imperial AT_ST walker (the walkers on Endor) have stolen pigs and are taking them to McSauron's to be transformed into burger meat.

A Little Green did a little picture… Sorry, that was just awful… I’ll think of something better to say next time.

Oddwen Fell apart. Then got back together. Then fell apart again. Then wrote this. Then got back together again.

Vile creatures from Star Wars descend upon McSauron's domain with stolen pigs and intent to maintain McSauron's reputation for mystery meat

It is very likely that Nogrod will be arrested for this:

Finduilas never imagined such a scene. So it was understandably difficult to describe…

Sauron insists that his Restaurant is cool, as it features entertainment by Jabba the Hut, Darth Vadar, and other Star wars hero's who's morals agree with Saurons, and as it serves wonderful food such as Mystery Pig Macs, for such affordable prices as $3.95

Hookbill the Goomba · 11-24-2007, 04:34 PM

Roit, I'm a- starting now. Let's just hope one more person signes up before we get too far...

Oddwen · 11-24-2007, 05:10 PM

*waves* Oo! Oo! Mister! Pick me! Pick me!

Nogrod · 11-26-2007, 03:35 PM

In case you need someone on reserve you can count me in... Otherwise I'll be coming to the next one.

I seem to always miss the starting of this one.

Hookbill the Goomba · 12-01-2007, 12:07 PM

AAagh! I made a stupid mistake! I accidentally sent the same message to both Volo and the Elf warrior. So... Volo, ignore any PMs you get from me at the moment.

Too late to read this, but no worry!

Finduilas · 12-01-2007, 05:26 PM

Are you still missing a player?

Hookbill the Goomba · 12-01-2007, 05:33 PM

Not any more, Finduilas. Thanks!

But Hookbill, why aren't you able write as well as draw? If I didn't join, it would work better for you.

Because I've seen all the other entries, so it wouldn't be fair. The best results come from a limited knowledge of what's gone before.

Finduilas · 12-02-2007, 12:34 PM

Right. Of course...
