All righty, we have a little Round Robin set up now, complete with the first chapter of the first story. Check out the member profile for RoundRobin or the intro bit for the first (experimental) story, The Elf in My Closet.
Anyone can add a chapter to this story.
Anyone can submit a first chapter for a new story.
No one (other than the admins) can make rules about these stories.
Eveyone who submits additional chapters must keep to the "canon" of previous chapters.
Write on.
Notes:
This round robin is open to anyone who wants to add a chapter. The OSA login name is RoundRobin, and the password is tolkien.
[Account details snipped - Rob]
Feel free to post new chapters and new stories here. Always remember to put your screen name on chapters you submit.
Enjoy!

Oh so you are the one responsible I had just said something to BB the other day about how a round robin would be a cool idea to carry out and lo and behold one appears. Obviously I am not using enough tin foil on my head to prevent you from stealing my thoughts

Viv - can you please clear things like that with us first? Sites have passwords for a very good reason - to stop people causing havoc and sending spam and all sorts of crap. And if that happens, I get in big trouble with Mr. Server Company... At least, with an e-mail address etc, we can verify who'se done what.
Any member of the public can just go ahead and change the e-mail address, password and other details (I notice you've disabled some, but there is nothing to stop others causing problems...)
I've just suspended the account for now - I promise to get back to it next week and work out a more secure way, I just don't have time this weekend.
Sorry - but I will look at it for you,
Rob

Tin foil! I loved that movie...

Thanks, Rob!... I didn't think about security stuff until after I'd done it, and then I wasn't sure of all the implications. There's really no urgency, so please don't stress about finding a solution. In fact, I'm not sure one is necessary. There are other low-tech ways to roundrobin. 
For instance...
If anyone is interested in roundrobining, let me know (spacellamaprincess@yahoo.com). We could make a yahoogroup for posting chapters, and then put up a little archive just for our fine literary output, or even maybe make up a member account here that only one or two people know the login for. Then everything that's written could be posted by those login-knowers?
I'm not even sure if there's any interest at this point. So please let me know if you are interested in roundrobining. Thanks all!
