I remember seeing this internet forward years ago, about a guy and girl in an English class who had to write a story back and forth, with each person writing one paragraph and then turning it over to the other to write the next paragraph. The girl started with some romantic love story, and the guy turned it into a story about war and alien invasion. Does anyone know this forward or have a copy of it? I can't find it for the life of me on the net (probably because I'm misremembering too many of the details to get a good keyword search).

A more cooperative - not to mention longer and far smuttier - version of the same technique is the fanfic "Cardassian Hostage." Instead of battling with each other, the writers tried to top each other's imaginatively revolting ideas. The result was an instant slash classic.

I've seen this before. It too perfectly promotes sexist stereotypes for me to believe in it; it was either made up or staged.

I didn't see this thread first, but I happen to have started something over in Fan Fiction that directly relates to this just a few minutes ago!

My version of the link was from Snopes.com. That should tell you all you need to know.

I haven't seen this particular one before but my friends and I used to play this game all the time. Except we did it in what I think was a better way. You have to have more than 2 people, preferrably 4, and you each take turns writing a sentence. You can only see the last sentence that was written, the rest are covered up. It makes a great "story."
