Comentary on one sentence stories

fishin_musician:
I was just wondering if any of the participants or readers of the one sentence story format had any suggestions or observations. I will venture a couple of my own. First I occaisionally laughed so hard that it was hard to keep my shorts dry. I wish that there was some way to view or print out a condensed version w/o all the scrolling just to be able to read the whole thing end to end. Why dosen't some else pick up the lead and start one up. I'll be glad to jump in.

FM,

I started the original “Any Outdoor Writers out There” post that took a very surprising and novel twist and turn, giving birth to the “One Eyed Minnow” one-sentence-at-a-time story. (Know who we can thank or blame)?  ???  ;)  :) After that story seemed to come to an end, I thought the same thing as you. (Scary, huh)?

Suggested this to the MFF big kahuna after the first "One sentence wonder" story. Steve did not know of a way to do this. So, we have not done anything on this idea. Since you thought of the same thing, it must be a very good idea. I think if the sentences were "cut and pasted" into a Word Document, separated just by the contributor, it would read well. If it was compiled this way and reflected the last post prior to locking the topic, I think it would work.

Here is a possible example (based on the One Eyed Minnow) story:

It had been a long day on the water and I had just one minnow left, as I hooked it through the lips I noticed that it was missing an eye.

As I looked at this eye,  or should I say lack of eye,  I had to wonder about the future of the this last hurrah for me today.

"I've always done well with one-eyed bait", I thought as I tossed my offering into the depths.

I watched with eager anticipation as "One Eyed Jack" (as I had just named the little guy) swirled from my sight to the depths below.

Ithought to myself, come on little guy catch me the big one, when
HIMO
to my surprise he came up out of the hole and said I can SEE what your saying.
Webguy
He then winked with his one good eye.
HIMO
yelled cowabunga and dove back in.

and so on . . .

Let me know if you think this would work. (If I wasn’t such a sorry two-finger-paster/cut-and-patcher, I would offer to do it).

Cider:
FM & RC, I took care of it.  Let me know if you are okay with the format.

FM,

What do you think?

Cider, an outstanding job on the "Hugo first" compilation !!!
Might as well close the original One eyed minnow topic, in my opinion.

Again, my compliments on the Hugo-first.
