Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

Pending the Plot Game

I hope you remember this. It where I'll pick themes for each chapter and someone will have to improvise the next chapter with that theme in mind. Our goal: to have fun and to try and make as much sense out of the plot as possible.

I'll just start with a little prologue to get things started.


Prologue: Lucas Williams


His skin and bedsheets were damp with sweat as he tossed and turned in his sleep. Vivid dreams were a common occurrence for Lucas Williams. At the moment he was deep within a nightmare about the fear of abandonment and the yearning for the truth of his parents.

He had never known his parents, at least not his biological ones. Lucas Williams had been told his father had died shortly before he was born, yet he feared that his father had simply run away from the upcoming responsibility. He had never had real proof that his father was dead, nothing at all about his existence to be more precise.

The story of his birth was even more tragic, for his mother had died in childbirth. Lucas believed that was the truth, but he blamed his father for breaking his mother's heart, making her too weak to live through his birth. Yet, there still wasn't enough proof about her to make him absolutely sure she had died that way.

At that moment within his dreams, a lighting bolt from the storm raging outside his out struck the giant oak tree outside his bedroom window. Lucas Williams was instantly awake and sitting upright, sweating profusely and feeling an aura of illness in the air.


To Be Continued in Chapter One, which will have a slightly influenced Zelda theme. PM me with a general idea of how you would like to approach the next chapter, and in several days, I'll choose the winner. The winner will obviously get to bring his idea to life.

Re: Pending the Plot Game

Instead of PMing me, if you've been trying to email me, I realized I had my address wrong. The right one is sjdswanlund@gmail.com

Hope to see what you can come up with. Hope it will be fun! Enjoy!
