Intermittens #5

[hooplala]

I was thinking of taking on issue five, and basing it loosely around the Law of Fives, and the different ways it can be interpreted.

Thoughts?

[LMNO]

Good idea.

[Dysfunctional Cunt]

I like it!

[Cramulus]

I think that's a good topic

but what happened to issue #4?

[hooplala]

I thought someone else had already started it?  No?


Either way, I am going to be very busy for the next month, and so can't take on 4... but 5 seems likely.  Plus, I like 5.

I see now that there doesn't seem to be a thread for issue 4... I don't quite know why I thought there was.

Would it be amusing to skip an issue and yet pretend it actually existed?  We could make fake letters to the editor complaining about how offensive the issue was, etc.

In one of the other threads Enki*&^&* said something about there being an issue devoted to something and I suggested he do it.  But I think he is non-committal at this point.

We could always skip #4 and go right to #5.

Better yet, we can start naming ALL issues on some variant of 5. For example, Hoopla's issue could be called "Intermittens Volume I: Issue 5." Then the next person could do "Intermittens Volume II: Issue 5," until we eventually have to have "Intermittens Volume 23: Issue 5, v.5.0 (Fifth Edition)."

Or, we could just skip issue 4, which is also funny, and probably not as stupid as what I just suggested.

[hooplala]

I like both ideas actually.  Can they be combined?

[LMNO]

You're the editor, it's your call.

[hooplala]

True, but that seems to encompass the rest of the issues as well, not just my issue.

I can't think of a good place to post this request, but is it possible to create a thread and have it stickied, and to use that thread as the main Intermittens thread? I'm able to navigate through the Intermittens threads right now, but I'm guessing when we start getting more issues churned out and there are a lot more "Intermittens Submissions" threads floating around, it might get hard finding where the main contribution thread is. Also, it would be nice to have links to the older issues compiled into one thread so that when the old threads get pushed under the rug in the archives, it is still easy to find older issues.

Just a thought.

I created a page at the BIP wiki with links to the Intermittens issues.  www.blackironprison.com  I will update it as they come out.

Also, #3 is the one in the works currently.  Maybe someone can sticky that thread until it is completed.

color me bland, but I'd prefer the issues to be numbered sequentially. It will be much less confusing down the line, especially when we have over 10 issues. Is it really much of a mindfuck to confuse ourselves by having randomly numbered issues or a bunch of issue 5s? Keep it Simple!
