No, Cristen, I totally think you have a valid point.

Please, no hijacking the story for your own ends. Read what comes before and then add to it (eg. Arlene is a violin girl not flutist). This is meant to be a shared, fun experience. Let's try to keep some consistency to the story. And remember to include some favourable qualities for all characters (unless they're going to be truly evil).

Tourist, for the love of Joe Shmoe, why are you writing only your perspective and in first person? It doesn't make any sense or contribute to the story.
I must be on some sort of magic carpet ride in fantasy land. I write out of a sense of pain and abandonment. As for making sense that will depend on how the story plays out. Your point was well taken and I applaud your courage to say what you did as that makes sense to me. Going over the falls must have disorientated my sense of reality.

I understand what you are saying MissCris. I feel left out in the cold as well at times. You are a very good sport. From my perspective this morality tale revolves around you and I believe that you will come out on top in the end. You are made out of tough and substantial stuff. This is a statement of truth and not a some spin that I am trying to pawn off on you. Perhaps I am made out of cotton candy and when it rains I melt. Only time will tell.

On their way the Blue_Lady Bug and Arwen were talking about the Duchess and how to help her. They thought that Secular-hermit was her true love but were not sure. "So, how do we figure out if he is or not?" asked Blue_Lady. "I'm not sure," said Arwen83. Pipp and MissCris couldn't help but overhear what was said, and so they asked about her story and what they could do.

Arwen83 related the story of how before Duchess came to the enchanted forest, she lived in a magical kingdom, ruled by the King Still Waters. It was said that when she met him, he then disappeared in an accident never to be seen or heard from again. The king, in trying to give her peace, cast a spell over her that would allow her to forget for the time until she would be able to heal and bear what might happen. He placed her in the enchanted forest to be the guardian and to have something to occupy her. His son, King Shouryo, has been most kind to her, like his father. It's only been in the last few years that her mind has healed to the point where she remembered what happens. She knows that he's still here, and suspects that that's the real reason King Still Waters sent her here. To find her love and bring him home safely."

It was at this point the Pipp remembered her dream from the Zaoman statue. She screamed excitedly, "I know who it is, I know who it is. It's the Tourist. The Zaoman statue showed me that he was in a boating accident that robbed him of his memories and changed his face."

"If this is so," cried the Blue_Lady Bug, "Then we must get the GypsyGirl to help him recover his memories. I pray that you are right. Come, let's find her." And off ran the Blue_Lady Bug.

Arwen83, though, stayed and looked at Pipp. "There was more that was revealed to you, wasn't there?" "Yes, they way home. And I remember how to get there now. It is close to the Lake of Still Waters."

"Then you will be home by this night. We are here the Still Waters. Come, let's see if the Gypsy Girl has restored Tourist mind."

After the Gypsy Girl was told of the Tourist plight, she discovered that an enchantment had been placed upon him, the same enchantment that hid TinTin from Arlene. She turned to the girl and told her to play the music she had found, but not on the flute, but the violin. And as Arlene did, something magical begin to happen. From the depths of the Still Waters, a man rose, and flew to Tourist and broke the enchantments that prevented the Tourist and Duchess from knowing their hearts. And then, he flew to the Mount of TinTin and touched the Mountains, which turned into another man, the one who loved Arlene, Tintin. And within the hour, a double wedding occurred.

"Now," said Arwin83 to MissCris and Pipp, "It's time for you girls to go home. You know the way. Thank you for helping us discover the truth and free our friends."

And with that, MissCris and Pipp walked off into the sunset back to their homes.

The End
The Duchess and I got married? There must still be chunks missing out of my memory! Perhaps some sort of love potion was poured in my double espresso as I sat under the giant mushroom. It may be the end of this story but maybe the beginning of the end for me. It appears that I am still in the land of OZ. I will just have to follow the rainbow to see where it may lead. This little dog keeps following me on the yellow brick road. I think that he is lost too. Oh great! Now I see Dorothy up ahead. How am I going to explain this to my new wife? I don't seem to be wearing a wedding band so maybe that is a good sign. I need to find the beautiful woman with the soft blue gossamer wings to help find my way. I will knock my Nike's together three times and say, "There is no place like home...".

And I was going to write myself in as some sort of super villainess. Now you've ruined it and you'll never know how evil I am. This story needed a good villain.

um, maybe cinder, you should start a NEW STORY.

yeah, i think that would be a really good idea. since this one went a bit off the tracks, maybe one where more people contribute.

in addition to the "rules" set forth by the thread owner, pasted here:

No rules really, I wrote it open to others continuing. I guess the only rule is to stick to the general story/scene/main characters as much as possible. Using forum names in creative ways. If anyone feels to contribute to the storyline, by all means.

i would propose the following additions:

+ the same person cannot write two chapters in a row

+ the character must somewhat reflect the personality/qualities of the their namesake

+ real care given to reflect the intention of said story line expressed in previous chapters

+ write to the general audience, not from a personal or egocentric perspective

+ involve as many people as possible

+ and of course, the goal being to have fun


i'm halfway inclined to start us off, but maybe since you have the ideas, miss cinder, you should start???

anyone else have any other ideas??? i think this is a brilliant idea, btw.

A good title might be The Never Ending Story.

How about, instead of a never ending story, we have series of stories, like Chronicles of Narnia, or The Warrior Cats?
