@ShiftyHyena

Hahahaha this whole project was just a funny joke to force you all to write.

And I'm starting my part now! I'll make a new thread in the Writing section by Wednesday, so keep a peeper out for it!

I'll keep 2 peepers open! You'll probably need to write a preface in bold telling people not to post unless they're on the list (link this thread), or to post out of order, OR to post anything but a completed, spell-checked, final version of their story, and nothing else. It shouldn't really be necessary to state it but, Murphy's law and all... Best of luck dude!

Looks like a cool set-up, nice job!

Now we just have to wait and see if @Chaslo is still in this, he's next.
If he doesn't post should we try to find a new person to fill his role (the poet @VicariousE mentioned for example) or should @pwneropwnage just write both 2nd and the 3rd parts?

Yup, I'm here!

So, how do we do this? Or rather, where do we put the text? Not really used to the UI of newgrounds! ;D

Continue the story that I set up in the new thread, keep it going for a paragraph or two or three, and then set it up so the next person can continue that. Pretty simple, but be sure to post as soon as you can!

The OP just published his story (great start, btw!), now all you have to do is pick up where he left off, make a story of your own, starting with Tom running out the door... strapped and looking for answers, and his family :O

Don't be afraid to add other NG characters, contributors to the site and others along the way! Anything you contribute, will give the writers down the line some options...

So far only @SuperChick hasn't given us any feedback on whether she's still in this or not, she's number 7 on the list so maybe give her one or two more days and if she still shows no signs of coming back we try to find a replacement? What do you guys think?

@pwneropwnage is next, make sure to check what the other authors have written already in this thread and try to follow it up. There's no rush but if possible try to finish your part and post it in the specific thread before this thursday.

Calm down, we aren't gonna write you off, there are still people who're gonna post their parts before you do, just make sure to check this thread every once in a while so you know how the story's going.

Sorry I didn't mean to sound hostile, it's just I haven't got much reply yet and I only see two parts on the other thread with story parts :)

No problem.
Yeah the story started yesterday so it's normal that it's slowly building up, with some luck the next author will post their part today or tomorrow.

I see that the story is going along pretty well, it's interesting and cool to see what people are going to write about next.
Good job to all the authors so far, next up is number 6 @Cyberdevil, here's the thread and good luck.

Oh hey, thanks! It'd probably have taken me a while to get informed without the @! Could be good if each participant calls out the person after them, so everyone knows when it's their turn as soon as it is. @SuperChick ...you're up next! Good luck!

Aaand the thread is right here.

I thought it was pretty cool and well done, what matters is that you're helping us with our project and so far this collab is going pretty well. I'm excited to see what happens next.

I apologize for being a procrastinator, but I will definitely do mine tomorrow. I got beat shitless at work and the juices aren't flowing.

No excuses. I wrote my entry while coming down from LSD. Yesterday was a strange one.

I don't see a problem with that, take your time. It's better if you write what you feel like than stress over it.
A reminder to all the authors who're waiting for their turn, it doesn't necessarily need to be all about Tom and the main story, you can write a side-story who will then (hopefully) be connected to the main story by another author.

Especially big thanks to Radaketor, who kept everything smooth and silky even while I had to juggle other stuff. Here's hoping the story is an epic that will live on through the ages of Newgrounds!

Thanks for getting this thing started! :) Thought it'd be a real challenge to jump in and jumble up the story properly, but it was just good fun! So far so random and entertaining.

...also, if publishing this in a more interactive; showcasable Flash form later on ever becomes an option, I'd be happy to make an interface.

Good job, your part was nice to read, you accidentally called Ron Rob, though.
The 69 floors joke was a nice touch.
