Sometimes there’s a story that just need to be told so badly that it keeps going and going, long after any other other reasonable person would have stopped writing it long ago.
And for me, apparently that story was about a rocking chair come to life.
During the last stream, chat voted that we write this prompt created by Mariama93: Inanimate objects become sentient once they’re acknowledged. You just bumped a chair and accidentally said, “Excuse me.”
This prompt ended up with us writing the longest story we’ve written on stream, by quite a margin. It was so long that it broke Reddit when we tried to post it, and we had to divide it into two posts!
Or you can watch a quick video
of us writing/reading it here.
If you want to join us and help write a story by trolling in chat, or share your own writing for feedback, then we’d love to have you. We stream on Twitch every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 7:30pm-10:30pm (U.S. Eastern Standard Time).
And you missed the stream, you can still watch them on the YouTube channel, or watch the full stream reruns.
Hope to see you next time, friend!
