Maggers Wrote:Clue in the clueless, please...many of us don't know the back story here.
As best as I can recall Maggers (I was a newbie then)
It was a dark and stormy night and the sea was angry, my friend....
AsMoral, I believe (once again, newbie I was) started a piece of literature that all the board members would take turns writing chapters. I was immediately intrigued, my heart pounding with anticipation of my turn, which was to follow that of the future DrFoix who was in posession of the manuscript at that time.
Daily I watched the board like a kid waiting for that package post marked BATTLE CREEK, Mich, (it was Mich. then, not MI like today) hoping, hoping that today would be the day I would be asked to eMail my address, that I might finally make my contribution and become a real boardwalker and not just an "also posts".
I was jonesin' I tell ya, I checked the board and my eMail several times daily, like those rats that hit the lever 5,000 times for a shot of cocaine. I turned down food, sex, sleep, money. I stopped going to work, stopped bathing, shunned TV. I KNEW that my turn had to be coming any second now. I'll check again. Damm this dial-up connection, connect..connect..then the familiar handshake icon, launch Netscape, hit the first bookmark, scroll down, then MY WORST FEAR realized.....Tony pulled the plug on Bad Fiction after receiving the manuscript from Mr. Foix. Apparently, it had failed to meet AsMorals expectations.
That's the way I remenber it.
