*thread decides to throw a party to celebrate; however, the excitement is too much for it, it suffers a coronary thrombosis, and dies. All the little threads hold a memorial service and a wake before marching off to find Hoopy Frood and ask to be adopted......*

*meanwhile, Asmiley goes on to lead a happy, productive, and long life.....*

[HoopyFrood]

Heck no, I've already been through that kerfuffle, I'm not adopting anything!

*Gathers up all the little threads and scatters them around the now empty room (Poor thread...and it was having so much fun...still, what a way to go) and then begins watering them and feeding them carefully...they start to grow...and merge...ooh, what's this! The Big Thready is back! Wooooo...!*

Mwahahahaa...

*Runs away before the thread starts getting a bit too over-excited and starts 'playing' again*

[The Ace]

Ah well, back to normal (for this place anyway).

[Interference]

It's all over now, guys. I'm here. Guys??

[Who's Wee Dug]

But does Fred the thread know that.

Listen, you chaps clearly don't fully understand the rules around here.

The Rules:

Rule 1:
When I contribute to a thread, everyone else must instantly lose interest in it.

Rule 2:
That's enough rules.

Rule 3:
More than enough.

Actually, I think the thread was waiting for me. We can take it off life-support now and goodnight everyone.

*looks in*
Well, done you lot - you've got them all fooled! Keep lying low a bit longer!

*hurried rustle as threadies try to stifle giggling, as they complete the details of their diabolical plan.....*

I thought it might be an interesting idea to post success rates, in terms of verifiable kills to date. My current record, including date of decease, is as follows:


Naming Your Characters 23 April 07 (I'd just joined. This must be one of my quickest kills)

Common mistakes in writing 20 May

I Need Help, Please............ 20 May

The most cliched sci-fi story ever 13 July (The one I most regret. I was having a ball but it got down to only two of us playing. We were having fun, but why didn't anyone else join in?)

Sci-fi concept. Does it interest you? 18 June

Just wondering (constructive critism [sic] only) 19 June

SF and the prophets of doom 7 August

TOTAL 25 RIGHTEOUS SHOOTS
(It may be a little early for statistical analyses, but it looks impressive to me.)


Seems like I did my grimmest reaping in July, but the headcount for August isn't complete yet.

Unlike most hitmen and assassins, I feel badly about most of the above. If one of your threads is among them, I'm truly sorry. Although others may have run their course, anyway, and in one case at least it may be too early to claim a clean kill, many of those that fell victim to my attentions seemed too young to die (very few of them being over two pages long).

Multi-denominational services will be held this Saturday. No flowers, by request.

Blimey, this thread has been put back on track!

Mind you, I've just been looking through my subscribed threads and I really have killed a lot of threads in my time...I was surprised by how many there were that I'd mercilessly put an end to. I think my greatest kill was 'the shining' thread...somebody posted the thread with a simple question, I replied with what is easily one of my longest posts ever and BAM...shot it down. I'll know never to get so verbose again, it's deadly...
