I don't see many forum games on here. Here's one I saw in another forum that I frequent...For each post, you contribute one word to the sentence. Copy the whole sentence from the previous post before you add your word. You can add punctuation as well for free, those don't count as your word.

Example:

first post: "The
second post: "The ocean"
third post: "The ocean was"
fourth post: "The ocean was blue."

then if enough people post, you eventually have a paragraph or two that can form (usually a pretty hilarious) story. Let's try this here...keeping it under umbrella of sci/fi of course.

I'll start this with the first word:

Aliens
__________
Chapter One

"Aliens flying through hoops!" yelled the umpire. Fifty thousand blorgles jumped from his rulebook and began dispensing advice to the discombobulated defenders. John metamorphosed, Alice self-replicated, and Winston reconfigured. "Looks can deceive", said one Alice.

The Cincinnati police had their annual picnic at LeGuin ballpark and happened to see Winston burst. Telepathically, the captain called for backup, but stumbled on John's exoskeletal diaper and fell in love. Dark stains slowly spread around the captain. "Conductivity high", gloated an underling.

Maniacal aliens, saturated with pudding, shifted positions laboriously. The hoops seemed to shimmer and vanished!

Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, the army was ordered to deploy its alien and then establish a beachhead in Cincinnati. Spectators gaped as the army began scoring hits. The blorgles retaliated by calling up a self-help video for the dreadnaught "Old Ironsides", while penalizing themselves for their lack of objectivity. If by sundown the defenders reach Tulsa, it looks certain that the soldiers will be dangerously inebriated.

The Navy denied the blorgles existed, while secretly "Old Ironsides" initiated an attack that proved to be noisy and devastating. "Never surrender, never quote surrender-monkeys," whimpered the Army's mascot.

One Alice tried to score a date with the leader of the blorgles. but unfortunately hermaphrodites weren't attracted by sound on the wavelength of the odd Alice. Meanwhile, John was remembering Alice as his unwilling sex slave. He cried for lost film of the passionate perversions he practiced during 2023 and he realized good things are transient.

Suddenly, all hell broke loose!

A warp in space/time ruptured and the light of Yankee Stadium, November 1930, beckoned.

The Army/Navy withdrew at halftime and although 1930 cheerleaders weren't even nude they still inspired the men.

The future temporal nerve agent passed gas and then tried to activate his lifeline.

Unfortunately for Army Cadets, the Navy weren't giving up. They stormed down the troopers' defensive barrier and scored!

"Well, " said Winston transdimensionally,"What an unexpected goal!"

Meanwhile at Merapi something was stirring. Slowly,almost imperceptibly, volcanic lava began to ooze. In "Aliens flying through hoops!" yelled the umpire. Fifty thousand blorgles jumped from his rulebook and began dispensing advice to the discombobulated defenders. John metamorphosed, Alice self-replicated, and Winston reconfigured. "Looks can deceive", said one Alice.

I'm going to change the rules of the game slightly. A contributor may add two words, provided that one of them is a very common word of three letters or less. Examples include: a, an, the, and, of, by, for, to.

I'm also taking out some of the middle posts, but adding a list of contributors.

[Note: I thought I would uphold the fine tradition of naming places in scifi novels after earlier scifi authors, even though we all know this will never happen. At least I think LeGuin is a place. But that's up to the next collaborator.]
