Not Gatch-related writing (though that would be funny) but this really cracks me up!

LOL This is great LB.

Too funny, I'd have wanted to choke Gary badly. LOL Great stuff...

Too funny!

LOL Hilarious - I love it!!!

OMG- that is hilarious! Thanks for giving me a giggle this am, LB!

LB Way too funny thanks for sharing. (I thought the dog is cute...)

Thanks LB..definitely good for giggle...especially how it ended, love the difference on how men and women think and see the world

That's hysterical! A perfect example of how *not* to write an IF.

This is hilarious, LB! Thanks a lot for sharing and for putting a wide smile over my face! Speaking of coherency!!!!

I asked my son if he'd ever done that in school and then read it to him. He said yes and it sounded like Kristin had written it - a classmate that lives up the street that he was partnered with for the ocassion. he said theirs ended about the same way.

I guess that really proves the "Venus" "Mars" or "cat" "dog" differences between women and men.

Or at the very least, that any co-writing effort needs to have some advance agreement on genre ('coming of age' introspection or sci-fi action?), if not necessarily plot!

I think it's also demonstrating that everyone involved in an IF needs to participate equally. No one person can dictate exactly which way the story is going to go, or be offended if things don't proceed as they had 'planned'. That's the point of an IF after all: to be spontaneous!

And I think that is my problem with participating in IF's ... I can't seem to be spontaneous. At least not a instantaneous spontaneity, I need some time to think about where my post will fit in and by that time someone else has taken the story in a different direction.

CD, in that case, I would say that you should participate, but with a shorter post. You don't need to think *too* much if you're just adding a couple of lines.

I will consider that the next time someone starts an IF.
