Default What is the best story thread so far?

There are a lot of different story threads, which is best, and why?

(Actually, I know they are all good, but I'm a bit boored right now and wanted to make a post!)

Wow! Newbie Galactic story thread gets 100% of the vote! I never would have guessed it had such widespread support! Then again, I voted for it, too.

You crack me up! Actually, I enjoyed it and laughed at some of the more insane moments. Not too shabby.

Hi Ragnarok...

This is all totally new to me. Never did anything like this before and feel a bit insecure about it all.

So, I am open to suggestions. Also, where is your story? I'd like to read it.

My story is the Hevordah Imperium Story Thread. Located here. (Link)

Tips: Well not too many to give. Just let the mind go with it. Your fingers will take care of the rest. When I begin a chapter all I have in mind is what the main idea and plot to this chapter is. I don't have the best storys but I enjoy writing them and enjoy rereading them as well.
Just figure out where you want the WHOLE story to go. Keep that idea in your head for each chapter, but don't focus JUST on that point in each story. Develop side plots and so forth. The best advise I can give is just as I said above, just go with it, let the mind go free. But keep withen certain limits as well.
Hope that helps.

Hi Ragnarok

Just read your story and I really like it.

I am waiting for your next chapter!

It would seem that in some ways, Ruatha and I are exploring virgin territory.

What happens to my story depends in large part on how Ruatha develops the story of his race.

So, while I may have a good idea on how I would like the story to end for my race, Ruatha can take the story in a totally direction where I would have to improvise a far different ending than I now contemplate.

And of course, I would expect Ruatha would be working towards an ending which he has in mind for his race as well.

And it could get even more complicated if one or more players in the GalCom game decides to join in!
