Instructions

In this tree, each snippet must be written as a poem (think Homer's Illead). There are different stories (branches) to start, each with a different story and a different poetic style to follow:

abab cdcd... The Creature

abcb defe... War of the Wizards

and one branch is left open for anyone to start.

The only restraint on the additions is that they must follow the poetic form of that story or they will be pruned.

	14:32 EST Jan 27th, 2008 – by Lucy Australopithecus This is a great idea! Too bad I am not talented in the poetry department...but maybe I'll give it a go anyway, if the result isn't too horrendous.

	18:24 EST Jan 30th, 2008 – by Nefari Morthia I have a idea for the third slot...a story written completely in sonnets. Yes, sonnets.

	06:18 EST Feb 6th, 2008 – by Connor Swatling So it's a sonnet? Do we need to use Iambic Pentameter?

	14:57 EST Mar 5th, 2008 – by Lindsey Roger It's Homer's 'Iliad' by the way

	18:26 EST Mar 19th, 2008 – by Simian Simon Oops, thanks for correcting the typo Lindsey

	16:08 EST Mar 31st, 2008 – by Mugdha If you do another of these, could you make one thread triolets? Triolets are awesome!

	23:05 EST Mar 31st, 2008 – by Chris Sadler Toilets are awesome? I think so!

	23:14 EST Mar 31st, 2008 – by Mugdha ...er....something like that...

	20:51 EST Apr 1st, 2008 – by Ryan Riverside You have effectively soiled triolets with your toilet humour, Chris. Good job!

	13:09 EST Feb 14th, 2009 – by Elizabeth Axley Was this story named after the American soap opera by the same name? :D just wondering
