You know after thinking about this challenge what would have made it even more fun is if you posted your cringe worthy scene and someone else changed it for you lol

As far as where to post them, I guess it makes the most sense to do it here although I can tell it's going to get old fast trying to go through this thread and scrolling down at the long scenes that are here. For scenes it doesn't make sense to post them up on AC though.

Maybe we can make a thread just for the actual scenes and leave this one open for thoughts on what you read in the other thread? I odn't know, just thinking out loud. lol



Another thread could work, or what if one of us started a new "story" on AC for this challenge and made it an open story, so everyone else could add on to it?  Two chapters per person, the cringe-worthy one and the rewrite.

That would be fun to do sometime.  I think it would have been really hard with this because we may not have read each other's cringe-worthy stories... it's hard to rewrite a part for someone if you don't know the whole back story, cringe-worthy as it may be.  Also, I like the way we're doing it because it shows how much we've grown as writers.

But the idea of writing/rewriting a part for someone would be fun to do for another challenge!

Oh I think that's a good idea Julie. I'll start a story called *Cringes* lol and you guys can add your chapters onto their. That was maybe you'll get feedback from more people than just the forum regulars. It's up to you to post your own scenes up though. I'll make it a round robin that way you'll be able to do that.

Here's the story link

http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9059

And you know I think that would make it even more funny though to rewrite a scene of a story you might not even read just based on what it appears like to the person reading. I think that will be a challenge somewhere along the road. We have to post just a snippet of a scene from one of our stories and just based on that info another writer can turn it into a short story. lol YAY!!

Are you done with school now or doing the whole done but not really thing like me? lol

That's a good idea for a challenge!

I am DONE!  Our "done but not really done" blow-off week was last week.  When are you officially DONE done?

I had a half day today then off tomorrow and a full day Wednesday. I'm still not sure what the logic behind having off tomorrow is but i'll take what I can get lol

So one more day of school for me! :) lol

Yup, they call Tuesday record keeping day. The teachers come in and clean up etc... I don't have to go in because I don't have my own classroom lol then because they have off that day, we have a full day Wednesday which is ridiculous but then that's it. Weird and makes no sense lol i'm just showing the Little Mermaid to everyone anyway. I'm just a warm body on Wednesday.

I just edited it for you. I left your AN in italics but changed the rest lol
