collaborative writing

The idea here is to write a story a few lines at a time.

You simply submit a few paragraphs, and other users vote on whether to add it.

I used to run a website for writers. We ran collaborative stories using forum software. It was great fun and some of the stuff was hilarious.

Sadly, the hosting company was run by inept people. The database went t*ts up, and we lost most of the site content.

That was the second time in my life that I swore that I never again forget to back up important data.
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.

Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

Well, I'll start:

It was another hot day in L.A. The 57 freeways showed signs of its normal backup through the pass and out towards the ocean. The car still smelled of pizza after picking it up from the local shop last night.
"Am I ever going to get some sleep?"
"So, tired from last nite."
"There's the turnoff to Imperial"

The car makes an easy shift to the off ramp. There is a homeless person standing at the corner, next to the signal; this time he has

...well, it was such a crawly crawl that by the time I reached the pirate with the placard it was the next day. And where once a grizzled old buccaneer had been standing there was now a panhandler with one arm, one and three-quarters of a leg, and three eyes.
Three eyes? Something about this scene was disturbingly amiss, and it wasn't his placard (which now said Imperial College of Fzzzzz--zoink--zoink--zoink/bersplattttt.) No. The truly troubling element was...

... when the answer suddenly dawned on me. I knew this strange feeling of ennui, the dull twinge in my joints, the pins and needles feeling in my extremeties. This had all happened before.

I held my breath and checked myself thoroughly. I was not reliving an old memory. This was real. It was happening now. There could be no question they had returned. It was the unmistakable sign of the Chry&((#$%!#$&%@#$%)($%)()$#%$ .... <ack> ......
