Playing Frankenstein - Experiment 2 - Conclusion

Apologies for the delay. I do hope to keep this running fairly regularly.

It's great to see some of the original players back for more shenanigans (and I notice that maturity levels don't appear to have risen greatly; if at all). With a bit of luck we can draw in a few of the others as well.

I went a little crazy with the colour on this one, and I'm not too happy with the result. But experimentation is the name of the game, so onward and upward!

Claudette walks on airplane wings.
Her three mouths hang open.
Saliva drips to her shoes.
She mixes a flaming cocktail.
She has a raven tattoo.
She juggles naked hairy gnomes.

Pete's Guaranteed Weight-loss Method

Get really sick.

Sick enough that you can't eat or do any exercise for a week or two. The kilos will just fall off you!

Note: Not advisable if you're a scrawny runt to begin with.

Evidently I've also been too ill to draw anything either. So here's one I prepared earlier. Apologies to those cats who've already seen this. Playing Frankenstein will resume with my good health.

Ebony Charisse wears leopardskin miniskirts.
Her eye sockets are empty.
She weeps tears of ice.
She wields a broken sword.
She is allergic to chocolate.
She walks a black Pekinese.



Those icy tears are very much like hail stones, and due to her gaping eye sockets they just roll right out of her head.

This post is TK's cue to send me the next character intro. (Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more.) I'll post the next experiment as soon as I receive it.

Playing Frankenstein - Experiment 1

OK folks, this is it.

Here are the essential rules. For a more informative summary, please see my original post.

1. Five words or less.
2. Complete sentences.
3. One entry per player.
4. Present tense.
5. Compound words acceptable so long as they appear in the dictionary.
6. Focus on given character (no addition of third uncles etc).
7. Only five entries after Tenzil Kem's (subsequent entries will be deleted).

TK kinda cheated on his line (jeez, it's only the first round, and already he's getting carried away!) by using compound words, but I'm glad he did, because it made me realise I should add another rule. (Technically 'leopardskin' should be hyphenated, but I'll let him get away with it just this once. And one could argue that because 'Ebony Charisse' is her name it doesn't really count as two words.) I really want to keep the list of rules to a minimum, but obviously I need to make a compromise between excessive order, and complete chaos. And once people know the rules they should be pretty easy to remember.

I've decided to try this without having to approve each comment. That way everyone can see when the first five entries are posted and they won't be wasting their time adding already illegitimate entries. I'll see how it goes, but if the spam gets out of control I'll have to change the settings.

Without any further ado, let the game begin!
