Keeping it (Un)Real

[theoriginalblurker]

I was hesitant to get involved with any of the PBEM or PBJ games that have been going on for years now, because, let's face it, I write like a 15 year-old.  I've read what some of these people are writing, and they're practically at a professional level.  I didn't want to bring down the game.

I got involved with The Cold War because I finally decided that it might be a good exercise (my writing might even improve!), and I really enjoy the setting (as any good 15 year-old would).  Also, hey, all my friends were doing it!  ;)

The past couple of weeks have been such an amazing amount of fun in this game that I am rushing home so that I miss less stuff due to the time I'm in the car driving.  Now that's a damned fine game.  (Yes, I know, it's interactive fiction.  Game is shorter to type/say.)

I have not risen to the level of some of these folks, in my writing or in my level of political machination, but I am not embarrassing myself, and I believe I have made some threads more fun for a few players.  They certainly have done for me.  Truly, it has been a godsend to me over the past few weeks during my medical trauma (or drama, however you like).

Yeah, we were out watching the debate ourselves earlier, and Tonks is in DSL hell, which is slowing our thread--except I just got a post so excuse me while I keep Adrian from going crazy. :o

Holy crap, that's a creepy thread. I have butterflies waiting to see what you guys do next!
