Stubby, shhhhh! *glances around furtively*

You know, I thought having to write all those options was going to be one hellish mess, but they actually seem to be flowing together quite easily. I can't say that the chapter will be up very soon as there have been many demands on my time lately, but writing in the result of the poll has not proven very difficult so far.

Sounds interesting, can't wait to see how all the options are going to be fitted together in the next chapter :) . This sg is definately one of the funniest I've read - :) , love some of the inventions...e.g the tollbooth elf :D .

voted for the last one, not that it made much difference :) .
looking forward to the next chapter, Alba. :D

Voted for all of them! I'm glad I caught up with this one, I've never laughed so hard, can't wait for chapter 8!

I especially like your chapter titles : )

I agree MG.

Now I just need to print the chapter out and read it then I might have something to say ;) :lol:

EDIT:

Well worth the wait. A very entertaining read :D

Hey, guys, it's me. You remember me, right? No? Not even a little? Okay, fair enough, I guess.

Anyway, if any of you do remember me after this extended period of absence, I just want to say I'm sorry for being so long in updating. I mean, I always take a long time to update, but even this has been ridiculous. The IFopause (or plain ol' down-in-the-dumps) hit me pretty bad, and I just haven't felt like doing much of anything, much less writing comedy (or that which I try to pass off as comedy). I'm a bit ashamed to admit that after all this time I only have about half of the chapter written. However, though I now hesitate to make promises, I feel at least a little confident that I will get the rest done soon. Hopefully. :-o

Welcome back* Alby! Glad to see you are still up and kicking! And 23 votes! I am fairly sure that is a record for a SGame poll. :D

*I seem to be saying that a lot recently, perhaps I should assign it to the F1 key? ;)

Up, maybe. Kicking? Well, there was that possum that wandered into our yard the other night, but... you don't want to hear about that.

Ingro, Whitey and Thracia working their way back and a newbie storygame started - all over one night.

Is this possibly a sign of the IF-return :P

Very welcome back Thracia - we're unlikely to forget you any time this decade :)

Happy Writing :D

Welcome back Miss Alba. Maybe I can get over my propensity to take on new projects constantly and actually get to the drawings you asked for. Would that help cheer you up?

Woohoo! IF wasn't the same without the Alba. I hope life isn't getting you too down; if it is, send it over to me and I'll deal with it. Cheeky blighter. ;)

Looking forward to the new chapter!

*holds breath happily* :shock:

So I wasn't the only one to take a break. *grins* Good to see your return, Alba. :cool:

Yes, pity me.

Actually, I am feeling much better now. This is my last week of vacation before school starts, and the sudden urgency seems to be lifting me from my doldrums. Or kicking me out of it.

And in happy news, Argo drew a pretty picture for me, and it makes me smile ever so much! Jubilations! It's a revamp of the Cleo-and-paddleball pic, which only goes to illustrate (hur hur) how much better Argo is at drawing than I am. I'm about to make a new thread to house it and any other GFSE pics I might upload once I go back to school and get my grubby paws on a decent scanner.
