Folwren, I hope you realise that we're all now expecting your picture to be a masterpiece to rival the Sistine Chapel II.

*snort* Don't be ridiculous. I hope YOU realize I have no possible way to do this by hand - which, I'll say, I could do a decent job doing - and therefore have no other choice but to do it on the computer - which, I will say, I am HORRIBLE at. So, I'll do my best, with what little time I have.

EDIT: What I meant to say when I got onto this thread was, I'll work on it this afternoon once I've cleared up all my other business and, if nothing else comes up, I will have it to Lommy this evening. Cross your fingers, though don't hold your breath.

Don't worry. Sometimes the most hastily cobbled together pictures produced the best results further down the line.

There! I did it! *Gasp*pant*gasp* I sent it to Lommy just a moment ago. My deepest apologies that it came so late - you people would not believe how busy I've become.

I will be away from tomorrow evening to Sunday evening, so unfortunately we will have a few days' pause then (unless someone can think of a solution) but it shouldn't be a problem as I guess I won't be the only one busy with having a holiday...

I've sent my picture in. Had to do it quick because I knew I'd be away for most of today, but I think it's okay.

Seriously, no idea. If it took everyone three days to do their job, it would take as much as a month or so. But writers are often far faster than that, drawers are sometimes slower. So my guess would be three weeks, a little less if we're swift. (And more, if we're slow. )

Now, I just got Hookbill's picture and Agan promised to respond before I (and she herself, for that matter) leave today, so I can send her sentence to Beregond today and he will have the remains of this week to draw. This is going quite smoothly now...

I actually almost forgot about this but just realised that I'll be soon in line... fortunately just a sentence so it won't take long...

Nogrod must be writing a novel!

I REALLY want to see what turned the sentence I sent into the sentence I received... I also wonder what is going to happen next...

Since we're getting close to the end o' this Paper Telephone, I think I'll say I'll mod the next one, unless someone else fancies it. Just remember to clear your diary for the next month or so.

He did write one, but I told him to cut it down (it was almost twice as long as the previous longest sentence the writer of which I told his sentence is almost too long ) so that's what's taking time...

I think that, in the future, we should think of the writing more in terms of a caption than a long description. Rather than telling us what the picture looks like, instead let us know what 'should' be going on. Give us a sense of the general concept; lengthy descriptions rarely turn up the weird and wonderful we all love.

If nothing else, we should probably put a two sentence limit on Nogrod.

I agree. The sentences tend to get longer and longer, and a short caption giving the writer's take on the picture, rather than a description, gives more of a "twist" anyway.

I actually think it ruins the fun of drawing when you get a very detailed description, the fun lies in getting a sentance which has more than one interpretation.

Personally I love the challenge of finding just the right words for the caption. . . it all adds to the fun.

Uh-oh!

It's not that I'm writing a novel but that I had totally forgotten it after Lommy asked me to edit it.

I'm sending a shorter caption in a few minutes so that we get the ball rolling again.

Sorry. My bad.

Nogrod - it's alright.

And to those who are worried by the funniness of the pt because the descriptions are too long - I assure you that although some descriptions have been long this round and no one has yet written a sentence shorter than the original one, it has been utter and non-restrcited madness this far...

Considering the current round, I've asked Volo to try to make his illustration today. (He was traveling early this week so he did not understandably have time or chance to do his pic and I doubt he's going to get anything done this weekend as Brinniel is coming to Helsinki...) So I hope he has time and manages to do it now for otherwise this will take ages (again)... But now you know why it might take time.

Well, my sentence is 15 words (and only because I invented a word, too) - but I think that it's better than the 12 word version.

But Rikae, it's perfect! I was beginning to be afraid that this will start to be the same all the time but you saved it! Only four people to go anymore...

Hookbill, are we going to do doubles? I'd actually prefer not this time - there seem to be quite many players, and then it would take ages again.

Unless everybody else wants it, of course...

I'm going to make the next game slightly different... So, if we're not doing doubles, I want as many players as possible!

Basically, descriptions are going to be limited to ONE SENTENCE, pictures MUST include more than two colours, time limits will be put on again and NO biting.

As long as your not doing doubles I would like to play, and write. If that doesn't work, then count me out. Don't let that stop you from doing doubles though. It wouldn't kill me, or even majorely disappoint me, if I didn't play.
