Laity or Kassan...I have no email addresses for K.A. Laity or Kassandra so I will post this on their blogs. Rob-your email was returned so here it is. <br /><br />Just so we're all on the same page, the only thing you are obliged to take from the story before yours is the character the previous story's protagonist was jealous of. So if Fred Astaire is jealous of Gene Kelly in the story before yours, your story about Gene need not mention Fred at all. And Gene can be jealous of his plumber for his ability to fix things or anyone you like. It would actually be better if we veer away from the initial source of jealousy. <br /><br />My story concerns a high school teacher who is jealous of another teacher's charisma and talents. So Dana has a charismatic and talented guy to work with. <br /><br />You will only have a week to write your story and I hope that is not a problem. If you find it is going to be, let me know and I will delay posting your link until it's done. But if we want to finish this by Christmas, it would be good to keep to every Tuesday. Let's give each segment its own title. <br /><br />Schedule (And let me know if your week is a problem).<br /><br />10/5 Patti<br />10/12 Dana<br />10/19 K.A. Laity<br />10/26 David Barber<br />11/2 Rob Kitchin<br />11/9 Sandra Seamans<br />11/16 Evan Lewis<br />11/23 Eric Beetner<br />11/30 Nigel Bird<br />12/7 Kassandra Kelly<br />12/14 Graham Powell<br />12/21 Patti Abbott<br /><br />I will try to bring it back to Graham's person being jealous of my original character. I hope this is doable. Sometimes I wonder why I have a brain that thinks up stuff to make us all busy. But there you are. Let me know if you've had second doubt.
