I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

The chapter I got was written by someone with Portuguese(I think) as their first language.

So that was fun.

The one I got was fairly dramatic, which is why I ruined it by adding melodrama.

The one I got was the setup for a big action scene. Naturally I just skipped past it and made my chapter a quiet internal monologue instead.

This is going to be one schizophrenic story. And awesome.

It's in English, just very bad English. Think Half Life Full Life Consequences.

I think what's most impressive about Spyro's chapter is not the writing, but the fact that he managed to completely avoid providing any hints towards the setting or prior events, thus garuenteeing a derail.

Well I wrote my chapter last July IIRC. It tends to go in bursts, where one person holds on to it for weeks or months with no news, and then several people write chapters quickly.

And it takes time to write a chapter because everyone is trying to keep the same consistency and tone in the entire story. Sometimes, taking a long period of time to write a chapter takes months, and it comes out great. Better to take months writing a great chapter than just rushing it in one day and it turns out to be the Chinese Democracy of stories.

@Keg Yeah...sorry. I didn't mean to insult the round robin fanfic like that. I didn't mean anything insulting either. BTW, has anyone listened to the album? I know it's been a while since it came out and I just want to know if it was well worth the wait.

Sorry, I couldn't read that with a straight face.

Anyway, I highly doubt there is any correlation between time and quality. But most of the people who held it up for weeks never got anything written anyway.

@Marcen: Uh, most people haven't been attempting that at all. And as Story pointed out, the people who take forever usually just procrastinate and end up writing nothing. Given that the final product is pretty much guaranteed to be So Bad, It's Good it's better to just crap out something quickly to ensure it gets done.

As for Chinese Democracy, I'd say it's So Okay, It's Average. Not a bad album by any means, but compared to Appetite for Destruction, and the Use Your Illusion albums, it's pretty ignorable.

@Marcen: I wasn't insulted, I was just pointing out that using Chinese Democracy as an analogue for rushing out an inferior product is flawed, since the album itself took a long time to come out. It would be ore akin to like, Kidz Pop or whatever - an inferior product put out quickly for the sake of capitalization.

@Teeth Well...when you guys are done with it, I'd certainly would like to read it. I didn't know you guys weren't taking it all that seriously. Huh.

So, what you're saying is...Chinese Democracy is the Waterworld of albums. It could have been a lot worse but it could have been better.

@Keg Kids Pop. Ugh. I'm glad they stopped doing that.
