Whenever anypony here represses their inherent laziness long enough to make a thread, and post a link from here, we can start.

Heck, when some of the best horror writers in pulp fiction Lovecraft, Weinbaum, Moore, Marit, and Howard did a calab, it turned out to be one of the most over the top yet pretty creepy stories of the time.

Though, before we start, we should consider that the thread might go at a crazy-fast pace and we might end up stepping on each others' toes, so to speak.

Priceless!

Which story? I'm not sure I realized Lovecraft and Howard collaborated on a single story.

True, Which is why I suggested we nominate who the next author should be once we finish our piece. After all, I have to work a 9 hour day most days.

That would be the Challenge from Beyond.

Long also did a portion.

As for the story, we should set a five minute time limit before posting, just to be sure.

Thanks for the Info, Dark. I'm always happy to discover more works by Howard.

Yeah, we'd have to organize a specific order so there's no arguments about who posts when.

If we really wanted to make it interesting, we could do it blindly and each person only gets to read the section immediately before their own rather than reading the whole thing. It would make it way more surreal.

That's the sort of thing I had in mind, actually, JT. But how would we be able to enforce the rule where they only read the section before their own?

Sounds tempting. And we need to get Apple and or Posey drunk when it's their turn.

That makes me want to participate.

And, since today is apparently National Jump To Conclusions Day...

This whole thing sounds strangely amusing and I'd kind of like to watch its creation, if not participate.

Yeah, that's kinda hard to enforce. The only way I can think of doing it is via PM's. Like one person writes like 500 words or whatever, forwards it to the next guy, they read it and write their 500 words and forward only what they wrote to the next guy, and then at the end somebody compiles them all.

Which raises a question: where would we do this, and what are the exact parameters? How long is each person's going to be?
