BARE YOUR SWORD
Jan: Tom and Veronica are of course right that it's difficult to bring a story where different people continue a story post by post to any kind of ending. It's basically the ultimate form of ""Pantsing" as you really can't plan or plot anything. Therefore I thought a cozy science fiction story could be fun as it's probably more about characters and the world than the plot! And for the people writing the excitement where others take the things you wrote.
And of course, I would love to hear a rendition of the story by Tom and Veronica (although I must admit I cringed a little when hearing my own writing *g*).
So everyone is invited to participate even if it's just a sentence!

I loved listening to this episode while I was at the gym. I loved the continued spotted dick conversation. When V said she was a pescatarian, I was reminded (mentally) that for purposes of Lent, capybaras (and apparently beaver and muskrat) are considered aquatic and thus ok for Catholics to eat during Lent. (my brain works in weird ways)”
