Probably been done before, but is anyone up for writing a story or play on NS?

There's this guy thats just finished a novel called "Company". Max something.

Is that question "Is there anyone writing a play or story about NS?" or "Are any Nser's writing a story or play?"

Neither, do we fancy writing one online collectively for humour value principally?

Some people wrote a musical about NS on this forum (http://nsthemusical.6.forumer.com/), including me, Neo K, TNM, Drache, Gruen, Melkor, and a few others (although Melkor arguably ruined it by arguing with everyone about the script, but I won't go there). Alansyism, Colodia, and Israelites et Buddist also contributed...

I think he means something along the lines of an add-a-paragraph open-ended forum story. In which case, you'd need to set it up such that there's a defined order in which people can post, but I'd be up for throwing a couple of sections in if you went with it.

I see. You might want to ask the mods about that, they could see it as a "spam game" which they don't like at all.

Fair enough, can anyone make a sign up thread, I dont know how....:(

BTW, as original bloke, I reckon the topic should be desperate houswives-esque, or possibly simply a new street, with new families, played by us.:)

Okay, but I intent to include an unbelievably shy subcharacter with superpowers who is quite clearly brilliant but gets next to no screen time and barely interacts with the protaganists.

The fuck are you talking about? I wasn't even on staff in the first place, so how was I going to be "arguing" about it, exactly? I may have posted in that forum for three or four days, during which time my input was alternately embraced and rejected by an altogether fickle audience. I stated numerous times that I was not competing for creative control of the project and made it very clear on multiple occasions that "piss off" was always an option for the writers/producers when discussing my ideas.

Don't blame me for your project's failings: blame the people who were working on it, not the people who weren't. Methinks the Hogsweat incident was the trigger for my having "ruined" your project, rather than any real, tangible objection to my conduct. Prejudices like that have a way of coloring one's judgement of past occurances.

I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone else who freaks out at relatively tame posts like this:

If you think I'm angry after reading that, you've obviously never actually seen me angry. I read Czardas' comments and decided a response was appropriate. Am I permitted the luxury of defending myself without posters coming along to lecture me on counting and breathing excersises?

Kindly piss off.

So.... Who wants to start?
