I have an ez-board site for writing stories jointly. Like this, for example:

" Get a real job!" Screamed the man as he drove by and heaved an empty soda cup at Reggie’s head. Reggie gave him the bird, which was ironic, considering that he was wearing a chicken suit.
He walked back to his assigned location and sighed. He didn’t always have this menial job, once he…

… had been a famous, well okay so maybe he hadn’t been so famous, perhaps he had only been famous in his own mind, (but maybe its the same thing, if you truly believe yourself to be famous then I suppose in your own mind you are… but I stray from my intended point… which was…) that Reggie, Reginald Balthazar III, had once been an arguably famous writer. He had written a masterpiece, which had taken him eight years. But when he brought the manuscript to an editor the man had read through it and proclaimed it to be on the level of the scrawlings one might read in your average bathroom stall.
Disgruntled and vengeful Reggie had stalked from the office vowing secret and painful revenge on the obviously tasteless editor… it was then Reggie decided to…

…Get a job working as the chicken mascot in the man’s fast food chain, “The Klucky Chicken” where he figured he’d start at the bottom and eventually own the whole chain, and then his publishing empire. It was a worthy goal that he was willing to work and die for, just to prove to the man that he, wasn’t willing to let someone mock his manuscript.
Speaking of a chicken suit, it was rather chicken for those kids to drive by and throw that empty can at him. Real chicken; the kid in HIS own chicken suit… *
Anyway, you get the idea. Currently there are two forums, one for orginal stories, and a new one for fan-fics. I’m thinking of adding a new forum, though. This one would be a “failed stories” type of forum. The idea being that one posted a paragraph or two of a story they started but never finished, and let others have the joy of playing with their ill-fated creativity. I think most writers probably have one or 10 kicking around their hard drive…
Would anyone here care to try this with us? We have fun, but more posters (currently there are 30-something occasional posters) would probably make the whole thing even better Oh, I’m also looking for a clever name for such a forum.
