The Ten Commandments of the Round Robin


I. Thou shalt not change anything written by another member

II. Thou shalt not write anything intentionally stupid or out of line with the story

III. Thou shalt have only 3 (THREE) days to write on the story. If that is too fast, too bad, we can't let the story get hung up. Just write whatever you can, as long as it's good.

IV. Thou shalt not write more than 1 (ONE) page. (ok, you can go a little over, but try to limit it to a page)

V. Thou shalt send the story on to whoever is next on the list when thou art finished with your part, AND you will send a copy of it to the founder in charge of that genre (see bottom of page)

VI. Thou shalt not end the story. Only the master of that genre has the power to decide when it shall end.

VII. Thou shalt not create a different story than the one already begun. Subplots are great, new characters are fine, but don't go off on your own making it into your own private little story. Try to keep it as consistant as possible. If it's written in 3rd person, continue it in 3rd person.

VIII. Thou shalt not screw up! If someone dies in the first part, he should remain dead (well, not necessarily) but you should not say that such-and-such has brown hair when he has blond or so-and-so is a three-headed mergatroid when he/she/it is actually a six legged sphok. Read the other parts and keep up to date on the details.

IX. Thou shalt not let the story get hung up. If you can't think of anything, pass it on.

X. Thou shalt have an enormous amount of fun doing this. That is its primary function. Literary quality should not, however, have to be sacrificed.

He who violates these rules will have one or more of the following done to them:
Boiled in oil, Tarred and feathered, 10 slams in the Iron Maiden, Stretched upon the rack, Broken at the wheel, Lowered slowly into a pit of boiling acid, Something about hanging by the genitals and being set on fire (ask Buck about that one), Drawn and quartered, Skinned alive, Have your face covered with honey and buried up to the neck in sand for ants to eat out your eyes, Subjected to 100 hours of continuous Hanson music And various other tortures we may think up in the meantime.

More rules made be added as needed, but we hope we won't have to.
