Since the other fan fiction site got a little confusing for me I thought we could start over. This time we can do it a little differently.

Rules:

-each person writes one paragraph
-you can not write two paragraphs in a row
-you can not put yourself in the story
-you can use characters from different shows and mix them in if you wish



As Tom and Cassie were sitting at their desk, working on their current case, a murdered Chinese diplomat. Harry called them into his office. "The murdered Chinese diplomat has connetions to Chinatown up north", said Harry. "An officer from the Chinatown District by the name of Peter Caine is travelling down here to assist you with this case, his father who is Chinese will be coming with him". Tom and Cassie left the office and sat down at their desks, "Great", said Tom "That is all we need".

Disagree, I didn't much care for the other because, IMO, it quickly became a "game" between a specific group of people. Which isn't a bad thing, but did tend to exclude people who aren't into that sort of thing.

I'll pass on the game, as I'm not online enough to play on a regular basis. Hope those who do have lots of fun and produce a story the rest of us can enjoy as we read along. :-)

Okay, I'll bite. :-) I don't know how much dialogue counts as paragraph, though, so I'm just gonna wing it.(I'm lost without my spellcheck, too.)

[font color=red]"Great", said Tom "That is all we need".

[font color=blue]"What's the matter big guy?" Cassy teased, "Not feeling threatened, are you?"

"No!" Tom puffed his chest out indignantly. "Why would I?"

"Maybe because we're stumped, and you don't want an outsider coming along to steal your fire."

"Well...."

"Well, nothing. We could use some new blood around here... and some new men. I'm getting tired of looking at your ugly old mug!"

"Ugly?! Cassy, I'll have you know--"

"Yeah, yeah, I know. The ballet dancer, I heard all about her." The blonde rolled her eyes with disdain. "Speaking of... maybe the old Chinese guy can use some acupunture on that, um, 'war wound' you acquired during your last romp."

"Nah, I already made an appointment with a chiropractor who just came into town," Tom explained. "It was the oddest thing, though...."

"What's that?"

"When I called, the receptionist seemed to think I was him. She kept asking if I was pulling her leg."

"Leg pulling's more in his line, isn't it?" Cassy laughed.

"I don't know." Tom frowned. "Anyway, I'm going to see him this afternoon. That's if this detective-on-loan doesn't screw up my schedule."

Poor Barbara! As a group, we seem to be fairly improv-resistant. Perhaps it would be a good idea to amend the paragraph rule to read three or four sentences per writer.

Well, if you really want to make it a game with rules, I think that we should require that each entry be a Japanese Haiku, every other word must rhyme with Potter, and it should contain a "secret message" that can be read only by blanking out every other letter and holding the remaining letters up to a mirror.

Sounds good to me. You go first!

[font color=navy]Oops! I guess I goofed. I kind of assumed it was like a "round robin". Sorry if I overstepped the boundaries. Feel free to ignore my fiction faux pas and move on with the game following Barb's original post.

Oh no, Lisa! Yours is a great post - it was a lot of fun the way you worked so many gorgeous dopplegang-guys(and no haiku)into it.
