Frosti: Larry sun, nice idea.
Hope am not too late, am interested and would like to join. Let me see how creative my mind can get.

Where and how do i sign up? Should i PM you?

Cheers!
Hi Frosti!

Of course, you're not too late. If you're really sure you can do it, then why not? But first and foremost, I'd like to see a piece of your work first. I checked your profile but I can't seem to find any of your posts in the Literature/Writing Section.

Hoping to hear from you soonest.

Bless you, sir.

Okay, Mazi, it's time to point out errors...I hope you adjust.

1. You need to embolden your chapter, chapter title and submission name.

2. The spelling should be evidence, not evidences.

3. ...a devilish twist that will sure ruin his career/ would surely

4. Is Chief Koko's spirit already hunting him?/ haunting.

5. ...an overdorsage/ overdose

6. ...was that of Tracy/ was that of Tracy's

7. ...and Tracy as a journalist doing her innocent investigation on the murder of chief koko/ Chief Koko

8. ...another victim of the suspects/another victim of the suspect's

9. ...was reported to be found in Tracy's bloodstream/to have been found

10. ...then their was the autopsy done by the highly respected Dr Suleman/there

11. ...chief koko/repitition of error.

12. ...below the raider/rader

13. ...he loves winning/loved

14. ...died of a strong dossage of cyanide/dosage

15. ...then it will take a few hours for it to shut down her system, first to a comma..../ would and coma

16. ...he had notice the dosage was small/ noticed that

17. ...to see if their was any new document/ there

18. ...the old one was no longer their/ there

It's very easy to make errors when writing something as wonderful as your piece. These are the few I was able to catch while enjoying it. I hope you make the necessary modifications.

Bless you, sir.

You really did a very nice work there, Mazi. It is evident that you did a lot of research before putting up that chapter. It's quite educative and entertaining; gives someone something to think about...that chapter is one I'll continue reading and reading. Weldone, bro, weldone!

Mazi_Omenuko: I support aunty Efe on the next writer updating us on this thread how far he/she has gone, what angle he/she is working on, so the next writer after will know how to start making plots. Just like a pre-post analyses.

I still support a post-update analyses after the work has been uploaded: where the writer will tell his original intent and what he had in mind in creating certain plots and characters.
That's another wonderful idea, the analyses would give the next writer something tangible to write about, coupled with his original plotting. Just like Efe directed about Lucan chasing after the killer, jumping on car roof and performing series of heroic feats...or the shredding of sartorial fabrics between the mortician and ...what's her name...excellent ideas, Mazi and Efe. grin

Ishilove: Different writers have written and it wouldn't be fair making the others feel bad.
Exactly. I stated it initially that this is just for fun, it's not an avenue to choose the best writer. Redmosquito has been great so far, he's been taking all criticism with an air of aplomb. Favouritism may breed contempt.

Efemena_xy: ^^ Sounds good enough to me.

My only concern here is this: What controls are you going to have in place to guard against writers missing their deadlines / going beyond their allocated time slots??
I hope something like that won't repeat itself again. Well, I'd take it upon myself to continue reminding the writer about the date to post. A writer who believes he cannot meet up with a given date can swap with another member who is ready to take up the mantle at the moment, just as HBG and Oahray did. I just hope for the best sha cheesy

Efemena_xy: What d'you have in mind Larry?
I'm just thinking that the four-day interval is more than enough time to make a chapter, I'm thinking of slashing a day off of it. It's still a thought anyway. The decision lies on the palms of you all.
Literature › Re: Nairaland Detection Club by LarrySun(op): 3:43pm On Feb 23, 2013
Mazi_Omenuko: Yea, you've added new writers, so slash the time frame, make it 48 hours, and set an accepted time in GMT that all uploads must be submitted before then.

Btw, my work is ready, and I don't do updates on sundays, can I submit today?
I don't want to be biased...let everyone submit a chapter first. Then the cut-down can start from my turn. And, of course you can submit today. Frank also submitted a day earlier, remember?

Bless you, sir.

This is to inform all that HumbledbYGrace and Oahray have agreed to switch places. Therefore, Oahray would be updating right after Mazi_Omenuko.

Thanks.

Efemena, I do not think Red meant any ill from his post. What I saw is he trying to explain all what he did not explain in his chapter, hence giving the subsequent writers something to work on (based on the questions I already stated). He really has no qualm with you. Hell! He kissed your feet for crying out loud.

I like the jovial and more understanding Efe better.

Bless you, ma'am.

Efemena_xy: I can answer each and every one of those questions Larry!

But the question is: should I? lipsrsealed

*** Yes, yes, I know may imagination goes into over drive most times...***
grin Don't you dare. You've had your first piece of the cake, and you've done justice to it. Wait for your turn again. By that time, you'd have more questions to answer than the contestant in a hotseat.

Where's HumbledbYGrace? I hope she's bracing up for her turn.
Literature › Re: Nairaland Detection Club by LarrySun(op): 11:09pm On Feb 21, 2013
I'll like to know which writer would be able to link the events in Lucan's dream with reality. That is one loose end that could be left hanging for a long time Any writer who wish to tighten that end should give a plausible-enough explanation. Amina's ankle burn is a pointer though. She admitted being in the burning building, but what burning building? Was it the one where Koko's wife and children were barbecued alive? Or was there another building? And we shouldn't forget that guy who has Lucan's photographs scattered in his junk of a room.. There's something very fishy about him. He sleeps with a gun under his pillow.

Was Tracy shot or smothered with a pillow? I can't remember.

The stuffed naira and dollar notes in Koko's mouth, his manhood floating in a simk, and the grotesque symbols carved on his body...all these must be explained in latter chapters.

brokoto: Can I make a suggestion? Yes!

Is it possible to change or edit the title of that thread?

'nairaland writers collaboration'? Sounds really lame. Doesn't inspire someone to open the thread Jo. Abeg Larry consider this suggestion. Tank you :* :*°•ĸϊsš•°:* :*
Thanks for your suggestion, Brokoto. But I don't another title would be befitting because nobody among us knows the direction the story would be taking. Giving it a title now would be akin to putting the chariot before the horses. And talking of lame, 'Lucan The Hero' is even lamer, LOL! cheesy As far as I'm concerned, Lucan hasn't performed any heroic feat yet. Let's stick with the current title for now.

Mazi, you're very lucky o, Efemena has really prepared a table before you. I wish I were you now, I'd leave the next writer breathing hard.

Hello guys,

I think it's high time I set some few rules on the affairs of this thread, so that none of us would not face the risk of our posts being hidden, or worse, getting banned. For the moment, I can only think of two rules.

1. Constructive Criticism: When we read the Literature/Writing Rules and Regulation thread, we'd come across this particular admonishment. We can criticize but we should do that lovingly. The days for insultive posts are over. Let's all be polite to each other; we aren't kids.

2. Derailment: This thread is mainly for the discussion of the writers' posts and how to improve ourselves. Any contrary discussion should be directed to the 'Chat' thread. Off-topic discussions are henceforth prohibited. Let's make this thread a neat one.

Thanks all.
