"foolishly committing myself to multiple projects simultaneously just for the hell of it" is several of my middle names. Count me in.

Yeah, pencil me in too. I want to see how much I suck at this how well I can pull this off.

The premise is simple. You write one part of the story from the perspective of one point in time and the second part that takes place at a latr date. Can we do it backwards, too? Start with one part in one point in time, and then have the second part take place earlier? And are you limited to only two points in time?
Ecstasy is Sustained Intensity
Sure. Yeah. And I don't see why you should limit yourself, write as many time skips as you want.

Fuck you, Solstace. Stop sharing my brain.

"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."
I'll do it.

Iverum: I highly doubt that you and I are thinking of the same thing.
Ecstasy is Sustained Intensity
Start with one part in one point in time, and then have the second part take place earlier?Close enough for now. Will be interesting to see what you do though.

I've already got something about that theme but it's a bit sketchy. It is about the time a man and his brother listen to the radio all day to try and listen to Green Day's new single, American Idiot, but sadly it fails to meet their expectations.
It is about the loss of innocence as portrayed by cynicism towards music the radio plays.
Does that count?

Can just anyone be a judge?

^^ As long as it has a clear Now and Then part then yeah.
^ Judges have to read all stories and then judge them. That is the only requirement.

I just wanted to make sure you understand that I plan on being part of this. I am already writing a story for this, in fact.
"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."
I know. I just forgot to add your name.
A newbie here. Can I?
