that's a good path towards the ending. Well done. Will Mackwill's wife ever be found? how's the showdown between Mog/Mackwill and John Creel? I'm waiting for the next in line to draw the conclusion.

Alid

can't follow. I thought we need to write only sixteen lines.
You seem to be so enthusiastic Barbara.

but let Carrie slide because I had required a rewrite from her.
However, let's do this.
I'm going to let everyone loose to write "as many lines as they need". Please control yourselves. This will be the last round with Carrie having started it. This means I'm going to ask Rula and Alid to write our epilogues. No one else. We need to wind it down far enough that "I" will write our resolution. So everyone, this is your last go.

As many lines as you need within reason.
I will write a resolution on my turn.
Rula and Alid will each write an epilogue (I will discuss what an epilogue must consist of and its purpose in more detail in a little bit... don't panic you two... its easier than you think and should be fun as it lets you kind of loose to create loose ends).

I'll post this also in the various threads so everyone gets a look at it.
If there are any questions post them in the syllabus thread, so everyone can be privy to it.

What a shame Urilla confiscated Anabel's collection of heads. They were quite the company for a sociopathic introvert such as herself. :) This is a good lead to an end. Now we wait for the final show down....

will have the opportunity to write in the expanded format as did you. Rula, Carrie and Alid did not have that opportunity though Carrie expanded hers a little. Therefore they will have the opportunity to write the epilogues after I have written the resolution (I get to do that because this is a monarchy).
So everyone gets a chance to strut their stuff one last time. The epilogues can also be in an expanded format since those three poets did not get that chance, however epilogues are traditionally shorter works.

I meant that you and everyone else can write in an expanded version to the end. Please, please put it back. It was what I am looking for in everyone's closing section. Use all the lines you need to get your last section. There was nothing wrong there. You were the first to write in the expanded version, so Rula, Carrie and Alid, who didn't (and won't) get the chance to write in an expanded version will get to write the epilogues when their last turn comes round.
You are the first in the last round.
Please, I want your big version. Everyone does. That big one is what I want to put in the Main Thread.

I looked at it and get it. You didn't eliminate anything, you simply expanded the line length. Very clever. If you eliminated anything (I hope not) feel free to put it back. Let me know if this is the version you want to go to the Main Thread.
