That'd be cool... I know my bro could totally help me out with that cuz he has a World War obsession... XD I'll consider it for next weeks! : D
wait, you mean the topic can't be more than 5 words or the story?
haha NO THE STORY CAN ONLY BE 5 WORDS LONG!!!!! lol jkjk no I meant the topic... I mean, it'll get harder to do the story if it was like: Monkeys eating glow in the dark bananas in the middle of the night.I mean, sure we could WRITE about that, but it leaves WAYYY less options,and all of our stories would sound a lot alike if we had a too detailed topic... does anyone understand me? I'm sorry, I really suck at explaining...
that's okay it was kind of a stupid question...
naw, I made it kinda complicated and hard to understand... Geez... I MADE the group, and I'm still asking myself stupid questions!!! XD

They don't really have to fit the topic so much... They're there to give you ideas, but if you can't think of somthing related to it, then basically, all you have to do is at least put the word in there... sound good? Well the longness... I'll have to think about it... XD
i have lotsa ideas.

k this doesn't have to do w/ anything but we did this really fun exercise in english class where my teacher put a picture on the overhead (he took it from like a spanish textbook i think) and we had to write a short story about it. it was fun! we could do it here...though the pic wouldn't have to be from a spanish textbook.
haha spanish textbook! i did that once, too. my teacher also wrote a sentence up on the board and we had to use it in a story.
it sounds like fun!! what u think, clare?

Hey that sounds awesome! : D Wish my school (homeschooled XD) had that! Hmm, maybe I'll take that and replace the 2 week contest with it... The 2 week contest isn't getting much response... What do you guys think?
Cool, Maybe I'll do that in the next week or so, see what everyone else has to say first...
how about the moon you could do a lot with that.
oh, awesome! I didn't think of that, but I love the mood! that would be sweeet.
I bet people are going to come up with soooooooooooo many different things.
The picture thing is cool, my friend did that for her English class in school :)
what about a few teams of like three people and they all do a group story?
you're gonna have to ask Chandani about that, she's in charge of group stories! : )
well each moderator has duties, and group story is hers...
*smiles like the idiot that she is* HI! Sorry my computer was being really stuupid today and i missed stuff.,.....IM SORRY!!!! *starts crying* I PROMISE I WILL DO ALL OF MY DUTIES!!!!!! *salutes clare*Adrienne that sounds cool. We were already doing a group story, were each person adds a paragraph or a chapter but we could try that!
Lol no you haven't missed anything, but if you could take over the 2 week contest this coming monday, I'd really apreciate that.

we could do St. Patrick's day (during the holiday of course)

You must come up with a Topic which everyone will try to write about.
Example:
Cold.
It must be under five words, and it can't be too hard.
