I literally have no plans other than sitting here and waiting for your stories.  You know who you are.

Well, not true...in about five minutes I have to go read a bedtime story and do a very specific nighty night ritual.  It will take about fifteen minutes.  So you can all relax during that time, for I will be elsewhere, and not watching you like hawks.

Can't wait to see all the other stories.

I bet they already finished their stories days ago but they've been abducted by Meatseeker and she is flaying their bodies in her lounge/jam room/art studio/rape room while Danny records it while Dave makes memes to promote it in theatres.

Hmm, not long left now. Since I finally got my story sent over I can join the impatient crowd.

I want to read Richard's story at least before I go to bed. It's almost four in the morning here.

Also, Chester's a GIF genius.  Do you have these all compiled and indexed by occasion, like greeting cards?

Chester Pane's picture
Chester Pane from Portland, Oregon is reading The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz April 15, 2012 - 10:58pm

Yep!

I have been told on more than one occasion that I have a gif for every occasion.

My wife says I'm gif-ted. And she isn't referring to my tongue-swirling capabilities.

I don't think it came in, the story that is, but I could be wrong.

Byes at this point are heart-wrenching. 

There should be a pinch hitter ready to go for this in the future, if indeed, this is the case.

Release the Korpon.

Also, reading these first three, I am amused that some authors are recycling lines. Actual lines from other stories.

It is funny. Writers DNA splattered all over the blood-bespattered walls.

I see you motherfuckers. And I really like what I see. And take it from me, there are plenty of other twats in the sea.

Good job everyone.

Calm yourselves.

Everyone made it in.  I had a technical glitch in the Matrix and had to wait until morning to make it happen.  The contestants of Match 4 were made aware.  It shall be posted in just a second.

I've read the first three matchups so far, and I can honestly say that things are getting catfight fierce out there.  Geez. 

I hope everybody else in the game is as fucking exhausted as I am.
