Ah, yeah, sorry.

I have this third draft lying around that I need to finish.
Maybe I will get to it this week. It's about time.

More cookies would be an incentive.

LMNO

If you finish the third draft, I'll stop getting Fluffy drunk in the Open Bar...

gnimbley

Ah, that is if you can find her.

I haven't seen her since Alice took her down the rabbit hole, have you?

If it weren't for the fact that express shipping on a box of cookies would cost ten times what it cost to make the cookies, I'd seriously offer. :)

Quote from: LMNODJ's post is sort of like those pills you drop into a glass of water, and they expand into a dinosaur, or something.

Methinks Fluffy is planning a surprise for the 27th....

Rev Thwack

methinks fluffy is always planning a surprise. Never underestimate the bunny.
My balls itch...

gnimbley

Ah, don't want this to disappear into the jaws of the evil autolock yet.

Ah, well, about the play.

Ah, well...



I am going to jettison Act II and make it a two act play.

I am going to do this someday soon.

I am really in mourning about it because I really, really loved Act II.
It was tender and loving. It made a good house pet. It was bipolar
but that just made it more lovable.

BUT IT DOESN"T WORK, DAMMIT!

So anyway. That's the latest.

You may go back to your cookie break now.

Horab Fibslager

if it doesn't work, make it adream sequence.

i dunno if that makes it work any better, alogn with toomuch other stuff, i haven't read it, and i only skimmed the inital draft of whatever yoe were working on when you first announced you were writing it.
Hell is other people.

take the second act out, but turn it into a one act play, then you can have a series of plays that are related and stuff  :D

Trumpet Fanfare

Well, folks, this is it. The end.

The play is done, except for one last proof read looking for dropped
verbs, inconsistent tenses, misspelled words, stuff like that.

I have finished the play, "The Trial of George W. Bush by gnimbley
the gnome". (That's right, no more Erisian Mystery, sorry.)

I have made TONS of changes. Mostly to the order of stuff. In the course
of writing this I have cut stuff out, added stuff back, written new scenes,
eliminated characters, added characters, and, in general, driven myself
BATS!

Damn, I need a cookie.

Anyway, Act II did not die. Act III died. It is now a two act play, although
they are rather long acts. The play should take more than two hours to
perform. What was act II has been chopped up into three parts and spread
over the first act, and two new scenes, which are extensions of act
II, have been dropped into the new act II.

Anyway, the link is below. Some of your favorite bits may have bit the
dust. For that I apologize, but HEY! I had to do it. Really. (My biggest
regret is killing off DJRubberDucky's "Death cage match!" but I greatly
expanded her character and slipped DCM in elsewhere. )

The file is a PDF, 230K or so.

The Trial of George W. Bush

Let me know if you see any obvious spelling or grammar errors.

I am going to do an html version soon and put it up on the internet. When
I do I will let you know. Then I would appreciate passing the link
around so it gets some exposure. Thanks.

Yahoo! The gnome gdid it! :P
just like in a dream
you'll open your mouth to scream
and you won't make a sound

you can't believe your eyes
you can't believe your ears
you can't believe your friends
you can't believe you're here

Heh, I'm gonna have to read this.

Irreverend Hugh, KSC

I found your mind, gnimbley.

You want it back, or something?
