The Tandem Story
April 28, 2014 at 1:28 am
In high school, I learned of this way of writing whereby many individuals contributed to a story.
In most cases, I would consider at least one paragraph per person to be sufficient.
However, I think for the juvenile forum purposes, one sentence per person would be adequate.
Therefore, all one has to do is continue the story by adding one setence to what has aleady been read.
The great thing is that one does not have to know what the beginning of the story is about if one is the third or fourth or one-hundredth person posting. One merely has to read the one setence before his or her own posting.
That is why it is considered Tandem.
Linking one thought to another.
Let us see what kind of story we can create.
Remember, that a sentence can be as made as short or as long as one wishes, so long as it follows the grammatical rules.
The first sentence is below:
What did it matter? he thought as he made his way from one room to the next.
"Never trust a fox. Looks like a dog, behaves like a cat."

Lord Tartarus of Tartarusalia, Home of the Tartarus People, located within the Cetus constellation, had decreed his crimes irredeemable and worth nothing short of a slow, agonizing death by internal-death ray combustion.

Instead of that, though, he decided to shove a bible up his ass.

**you guys suck at this. It makes more sense to copy what's already there and then add your sentence. That way after you add your sentence you can go back and read the story and get a good laugh. Amateurs.

He woke up in a bad mood. He hated having short dreams.

Morning already? God damnit...I need a protein shake. he mumbled to himself.
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a goddess, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed

Staggering off into the kitchen he opened the fridge. Only then did he notice the light hadn't come on.
