Um. Hullo. I really don't have much of an idea what to do here, but Mrs. Willhuite said I was supposed to be the "Director" of our group. I don't know what that means other than to make certain the group is here. I guess just a quick intro is kind of in order.
My name is Melisande Agatha Decker-Williston, but I'd prefer it if you would call me (and refer to me) as Stormy. I'm 23 years old, I will be a teacher this fall, at the local high school (yes, I'm way nervous about it), and am working on my Masters in Library Science. I am currently living back in my hometown of Sheffield's Crossing, Connecticut.
I'm taking INF 169 as part of the graduate-level "base skills" necessary for my degree.
This is only my third online class ever, so please, if I'm making errors in, "Netiquette," let me know -- but be gentle.
I live with my younger sisters (twins) who will be seniors in high school this fall.
My only other "tenants" are a ferret named Wonder Weasel and a pair of bearded dragons named Bud Abbott and Lou Costello (Lou is the funny one).
I guess my standard schedule this summer will be mostly dedicated to going to my class and preparing to TEACH this fall.
Er... I guess as a Standard Disclaimer, I'll just say: Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate.

Explain
Just what is the idea behind this? Is there supposed to be a plot, or anything?
They know they can survive
Stay Tuned!
More will be forthcoming!
literary relay race?
Is this some sort of literary relay race, where you hand the baton (story) to the next author who then races off with it?
The Pen Pal Continuum
Is already defined as the eight authors listed. This is something we've been working on setting up for about a month. I'm not trying to be obtuse, but we really want to reveal it in a certain way.
Hmmmm...
... I wonder, will this get as big as "Theives World"... Maybe a shared novel? Well, I tend to follow the writing of a lot of those authors (maybe I should check out a few others... Hmmm, probalby a good idea. I could pick up more pointers.)
I'm looking forward to seeing what the bunch of you do with this.

Staying Tuned...
I'd like to pretend that I know where this is going, but...utterly without a clue.
All eight authors have a lot of credibility here, so the only thing to do is sit down, and wait patiently for a worthwhile ride. Can't wait to see how the vast differences in approach and style are blended.
A bravo/brava in advance.
I haven't a clue
And I know the basic premise, I think.
Erin did a similar experiment to this a couple years back with her Bot-C multi author story. MY contribution was to take someone's magic/sort of Lion and the Wardrobe story thread, one of several, and turn it into a very strange Doctor Who Fan Fic that aardvark ran off with. I do hope he will finish it someday.
Oh, what was I talking about?
