I have seen this be done in other guilds and it is really fun. The idea is to write a story, the catch is everyone is only allowed to write 10 words at a time. Once someone else has entered 10 words yo are allowed to enter another 10 words E.g Quote: ...Once upon a time there was a little girl called.... ..."Poor Unfortunate Soul". Poor Unfortunate Soul was the prettiest girl... ...whoever visited the sun. Unfortunately that was not very pretty... Of course our story will be set in the Regency period, and be very Austentatious (my theme word for this event) There aren't really any rules except to keep it Austentatious. Every page I will update the second post which will be the story so far. Anyway I think this will be very interesting...

The story so far...
No one who had ever seen Henrietta Collins in her nightgown before knew how limber she was! Unfortunately, when the curtains caught on fire, when the Bennets were visiting, this indecency caused such an uproar of laughter that Henrietta felt that she would be better off locking herself in an attic than having to face Kitty and Mary who were sure to relate the story in full to their mother, Mrs.Bennet. So Henrietta, knowing full well what was to take place, quickly got herself dressed and proceeded to climb out the chimney and on to the roof where she sat, pulled out a book, and stuck a feather in her bonnet. She sat there reading for over an hour until she realized that she couldn't smell any more smoke. Thinking it safe to climb down she clambered down, tearing her nightgown on something, consequently falling right on her back and onto the feet of Mr Bennet who without hesitating, helped Henrietta onto her feet and supported her as she walked to a chair. "Thank you, sir," she said, dipping into a curtsey and, due to her clumsy ways knocked over a large bird bath which made a enormous bang as it further knocked over a dark figure skulking behind it. The figure got up and stood still as if it were undisturbed. Henrietta turned to see who the dark figure was, to her shock and disbelief it was Mr. Darcy. Henrietta was speechless; she had always being very fond of Mr. Darcy. His beautiful eyes glared down at her. Henrietta now regretted missing the party inside, for she had missed the opportunity to dance with men who actually treated her with civility, just then, Mr. Darcy reached for her umbrella, as it looked like it was about to rain, Mr. Darcy opened the umbrella and extended his hand towards Henrietta and asked her to accompany him on a short stroll in the rain, she blushed furiously, curtsied and accepted the invitation by giving him her arm. They began to walk and Darcy began the light conversation by complimenting her tapestry, which hanged on the walls of the house. Henrietta smiled sweetly and
