Hi Guys! Stepper here - which I'm sure is a big surprise. I don't know what's happening but I've got a problem. The system says it has me signed on, except all I can do is view posts. I don't seem to be able to post anything. I'm not ignoring the boards, I just can't get anything to happen. I'll try again another day.

Aw, Stepper! I'm sorry you can't get in, (psst....you're leaving smudges on the window panes; Joxie's gonna make you clean 'em, you know).
I can't do anything to help, but here....just so you don't go hungry while waiting, I've brought a big plate of chocolate chip cookies, and a nice cold glass of milk to help you pass the time.

Officially, the story never had a plot. I made a post, then others added to it. As far as where the story is headed, no one knows. Well, others may know, but I still don't. I just go with the flow and hope that there's a plot in there somewhere. If you see a plot, good-on-ya. If there is a plot there, it is a subconscious effort on my part. I've no idea where I'm going with it. Other bards might though, so maybe they've added the plot while I wasn't looking.

No, no, Ellie...don't go looking for holes, because I'm sure there are plenty. If it seems like there was a plot in The House of Whoosher (subtitle: The Plot That Wasn't) that's cool because we made it up as we went along. It's kind of neat that someone coming in afterward and reading would think the story actually had a plot. It fun to think that all those laughable moments trying to figure out "what happens next?" and "how the hell am I going to get my character out of this situation" actually makes sense to a reader.
Or maybe they don't, but rather fit into the plot. That wasn't. Yes, yes....that was the plot! The House of Whoosher - a haunted house mystery where guests search in vain for the ever-elusive plot. See? We knew what we were doing all along!

Oh, sure.....thanks for filling me in on that one, Scrappy. (eye-roll) What other secrets have you been keeping from me, hmmmm.....? I bet you've got some chocolate in your Harley saddlebags that you haven't told me about either.
