@ Courtney:  I doni't mind a nmae change if you're not good with "For Good Or For Awesome".  I was also considering "Bitches Get Stiches", which would be more in keeping with the tone of the thread, but being you're a female, not sure how you'ld feel being a team with the world "Bitch" in the name,

Any thoughts?

@Bill I have a weird thing about not minding being called a bitch, let alone being in a team named Bitches Get Stitches which sounds fucking amazing. I would definitely go for that.

If someone wants "Shut Your Mouth Before I Fuck It" that's always an option. I just might use it myself.

Panda, I just caught up with this thread, here in the future.

If you aren't in a team yet, I'd be honoured. Notice how I spelled that with a U? I spell EVERYTHING with U's. Colour. Glamour. Pandaur.

Also, 'fanny' means something completely different to me. And if we beat someone, we don't say we 'licked' them.

But if we can conquer these hurdleus, I aum totalluy up fuor it.

LET'S LICK SOME FANNY!!!

If you are giving people 2 weeks to write their first story, you could probably start the competition in 4 weeks cause the end of War will be boring to anyone who isn't the top 2 contestants.

Depends if those contestants are on the list. Also I want more focus on WAR for now than this.

Right now I'm just trying to get people together.

Don't back out because of that reason, Cove.

We can pair you up.

I think you and Bracchos would be good.

If Bracchos is up for it I will give it my best although I've never collaborated on writing.  Looking at Bracchos bio, we might compliment each other and win this thing. Who knows.

I just saw my name was underlined. So I have a few questions:

1. Who's my team mate?

2. What did I sign up for?

3. How much did I drink last night?

4. Where are my pants?

5. How come nobody has made me coffee yet?

  1. I thought you had teamed up with Renfield.
  2. A competition
  3. Beats me.
  4. In your closet/drawers/dirty laundry.
  5. Because you gotta yell at em'!

Flaminia and I need a team name, but I'm having trouble thinking of anything funny. I just keep thinking "Go NATO or International Conspiracy and call it done," but since this is a collaborative project I can't just go with the first stupid idea I think of, but when I correct course and attempt to think of trying to find an idea I could try and sell to my teammate I keep trying to go funny and failing.
