Where Jaysen tests the patience of Mr Piggy

You should split your chapter assignment into several segments and farm them out. Call it Chapter-in-an-hour (CIAH). And thereby hangs a pig tale.

Piggy won’t allow teams yet. I’ve tried again and again. But he is sitting over there with his fingers in his ears going “nah nah nah”… see… right there…

Anyway there’s not a gorilla’s fart of a chance, that I would enhance your feeble literary outpouring with my scintillating prose style and command of syntactical devices usage.

Actually, as it says in the FAQS, I’m more than happy for people to collaborate and take a shared credit on a chapter if that’s what they want to do. The only proviso, is that the lead writer is responsible for making sure they hold the copyright in their entire submission before submitting.

I’d be disappointed* if anyone deliberately submitted a ‘joke’ chapter because no matter how funny I might personally find an in-joke filled effort, there’d be 23 other chapter writers that were put out that someone in their version of the book wasn’t taking it seriously.

* - probably to the point of rejecting the chapter and either requesting a complete redraft (which I have done once in the previous 4 events) or simply missing the chapter in favour of including the chapter brief instead (which, again, I’ve only had to do once, and that was because of a no show in the days when we only had one book).

Mr Piggy… I’ve been good for one day now. Can I have my chapter yet?

Yes!

Go read “The Dark”. Then write the next chapter, starting immediately after the book ends.
Email what you come up with to me by close of play Wednesday (by your own timezone).

I see what you are doing here… I may just play along.

You missed the deadline, by the way.

There goes my weekend reading (especially since I can't read [i]Breakfast at Tiffany's[/i] now). :unamused:

Did you stay up waiting for my submission?

It is amazing how, unless one tells everyone “bugger OFF!” life gets in the way. NiaD’15 “bugger off” sign officially posted.

Now then young nupt … temper tantrums do not a good impression make. Diatribesqueishy interaction achieves nought but profound regret and a humiliating sense of inferiority, on the part of the diatribeist.
So can we assume that the “bugger OFF!” has been removed and the “bugger ON!” resides in its place?
Good show, old bean … keep the Niad15 flag flying … eh? :wink:

Hmm… Well… the “off” would be to those that shouldn’t be bothering me anyway. Which causes me to look questioningly in your direction while contemplating your advice with some skepticism (aka wondering why the heck I am watching the sun rise with out getting enough sleep). For the time being it is still off.

Good bye numpt

I didn’t stay up, but I did check my email with hope and anticipation on Thursday morning. :frowning:

Mr Piggy, I’m anxious that you have not provided my early look yet. How can I properly dissemble and obfuscate without advance notice?

:confused: errrr … just start typing. Your post usually contain enough of both to keep everybody guessing and happy.
Hope this helps :wink:

I’ve been looking at all the stuff I have written over the years, and the scary bit in all this is going to be the possible general theme.

But them I remember some of the things I have done. It’s not that hard to add Cthulhu-cultists to Lark Rise to Candleford.

Unless Piggy has a dolphin in his plot I may be in trouble.

There is a dolphin, but unfortunately the odds of it being in Jaysen’s chapter are pretty slim.

Also, I might be lying about the dolphin.

OK… I need to write about a dolphin… got it.

Any goats?
