Here's another mistake many people make, to-too: "He was to tired to get out of bed" instead of "He was too tired to get out of bed." And there's plenty of other screw-ups people make with to-too.

I think what people need to keep in mind that are considering joining in the forum orgy is that it's not simply an excuse for some mass cybersex. If anything, it's a joint story, where everyone will contribute to creating it. As well as have lots of sex! For those who weren't around during the last forum orgy, they might not realise that rules are essential for its smooth running. Without that, someone can post weird, disruptive posts that utterly ignore all the posts that precede it and cause confusion. Which is why I dropped out of it before, because that happened and it just stopped being fun for me. The orgy will work if the people contributing treat it at least semi seriously, and are prepared to make a bit of an effort. Nobody will expect works of genius, but they will expect participants to have fun with it though! For myself, I'm the shy, nervous sort - it took me a while to build up the courage to join in the last one - so hopefully enough people will decide to join in to get it started, and I can see how it goes and decide then whether to join in. I'm not sure yet.

Oh yes, "there - their" errors really bug me. Another similar one I've seen a number of times is "they're - there". As in, "There (or sometimes 'their') going down the street." Instead of "They're going down the street." It's not hard to work out the correct word if you just think about it.

I guess what concerns me about this idea is that we could end up in fandoms that I either know nothing about - and not interested in - or worse still, actively dislike it. And that's a potential problem with many people. I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in anime, but I get a feeling we'd be doing a great deal of stuff set in anime fandoms. So those concerns would be enough to prevent me from joining, at least until I'd had a chance to see just how it was motoring along.

My favourite colour is red. Red is the colour of passion!

That's really what I was thinking of. It doesn't need some faux dictator lording over people and controlling every step that's taken; just someone that can sort out morons that wander in and post crap that ignores anything that was already posted. Oh, and someone with enough creativity to give things a nudge in the right direction if they look to be stalling.

I think rules for it this time around would be an absolute necessity. It was far too open to abuse and confusion before. But another thing I personally think is vital is a Game Master, one person - a mature person with a reasonable grip on reality and not undergoing a power trip - that can quickly and efficiently sort out conflicts or problems, and do so without antagonising anyone (hopefully). With no one running the ship, it's far too easy to go careening onto the rocks while everyone is below decks playing footsies. Oh, and having basic storylines that are likely to appeal to the broader public rather than a small minority.
