A little bit of Irish Stew - what is it all about?

***

July 2 - 2001

Hello Friends,

A short while ago I discussed with Astrid and Andy about presenting a challenge to the list. Not a fighting type challenge, but an imagination story-making type of challenge. And after reading Simon & Sonia teasing each other about having such fun in the shower, I thought, great! Maybe, just maybe it will work after all. So here goes with what I thought would be mucho fun. I have named this "A Bit of Irish Stew", but this doesn't have to be the final name. ;-))

I guess to help you understand what I am about to suggest I should give a little background first.

When Donna and Joe were writing with Theamstreams I had the pleasure of reading some of the most fantastic stories to be sure!! One of these was a story seven or so of the writers wrote. They referred to this as a round robin. One of the writers would start the story and then pass it off to the next writer who volunteered to join in, and so on and so on, till at the end there was this fantastic story. Each writer changing the story theme from whence it began, but flowed right into another scene regardless. What a joy to read such talent at work. :))

Well, I felt since we, the CdeB fans, have such an idea of what we would like to see or like to believe or dream about with Chris, that this would be so much fun to make a fans story of Chris, using our imaginations and thus create "A Bit of Irish Stew". It could be factual or fiction - whatever your imagination wishes.

When Donna and Joe joined in, it went from fantasy to cowboys, etc., etc. So believe me, whatever your wish about Chris, you could make it come true in this story.

Because this list has so many members, it would only work one of three ways. Friends, say (4 members or less), get their heads together and work together, or one person at a time, or there has to be more than one story. But we would have to ask for volunteers and make a list of who goes first, second, etc., etc. But first we would have to see who is interested in doing it.

The following pages is the story "A Bit of Irish Stew" as written by Jeri N., Kathy O., Karianne D., Jacqui B., Helen and Laura L., Simon K., Alice S., and Astrid N-G.

Enjoy! Jeri N.
