And boy, have we been having fun!
Myself and a friend, Josh G., have been writing down plenty of “detail” over
the last eight weeks that the game has been running. Between us and the
Action Emails from our great Game Mediator Andrew, we’ve written over sixty
pages of story! Maidens in distress, spooky crypts, unsavoury characters
(both in looks and smell)...we’ve got it all.
Some of you may have been following the story. Others may have forgotten
about the game not long after it was started. Thus, as a literary MOC, I
present the first seven chapters of
The Adventures of the
Telrúnya Brothers and The Tales of Sir Anthony. Some chapters replete with pictures. (usually
they are added after the story has been written, so if you’ve already read
the story you may want to go back and see if you’ve missed any pictures)
We’re both anxious to hear what you all think of them, so don’t hesitate with
comments (good, bad or betwixt)! New chapters forthcome each week (and I’ll
probably reannounce this when we reach Chapters 15). We’re hoping for a huge
flash of inspiration for Josh this week, as he had a particularly difficult
Action Email and told me this morning he has only written one sentence so
far. :) My chapter shall be late this week (I’m never later than Tuesday)
because I’m creating a rather complex digital diorama of a heavily populated
scene.
And, of course, you are all cordially and heartily invited to take up your
keyboards and join us in this most enjoyable and happy occupation of our
time. :) (good excuse to do some bricking, too, if you need one)

Thanks, Mike!
The level of participation in CCA has been happily growing ever since its
launch. I must commend Mike and Josh for participating so entusiastically in
our game!
And Mike’s right--the more detail and thought you can put into your story, the
more fun it will be. Of course, it can’t hurt if you also include a few scenes
of the brick every now and then. :)
