Happy Birthday L B or 48 Concubines
The 8th of March is the birthday of the one, the only, the incredible, the unforgetable, the infatigueable, the reliable, the fatt hao-able, the lormaikai devouring, Sunday cooking divinity that we all know as L B. But I’m going to call him Lost Brudda. He and I must be. Look how close our birthdays are. And you, you, and you too, dun even bring up the difference in years or the continental seperation, Pacific Ocean spanning problem. Trying to forget that for just the moment. After all. We all belong in the Maldives anyway.
The Birthday greetings have already posted on the other side of the world. May opened up with her muffin hugging lovely birthday salutations. Really need a spoon for that one. With May’s post the 48 hours of L B’s birthday began.
I might jump the gun too. Hopefully I will be on time for Italia. But if I am too early still, I just invoke my Half-Malaysianess and borrow the Kuala Lumpur time. Let me thank Winn one more time for making me half Malaysian. Sayong you babe!
So Happy Birthday L B. Waulau! You have to read so much just to hear that. Hope I have not popped all of the steam from you. Big HUGS Brudda! Big butt pinch too!
I really wanted to do something special for L B. He made such a cool comic for my birthday. Last night I was IMing with May trying to get inspired and a spark was created. Not that kinda spark. Dun wanna get a piak from the missus. But I received half a light bulb. Today when I read May’s post the other half of the light bulb showed up liao. What light bulb?
Well let me tell you. I remember Lin Peh’s Writing Projeck from last year. For the longest time I have been thinking about initiating a writing project too. Just did not have an idea in my head. But the idea arrived today. And that idea is 48 Concubines. A writing project written by L B’s blog roll. Everyone here writes. Duh! We are all bloggers. Right? And we are readers. So what a neat gift that everyone can give to L B. And with this gift his birthday can last quite a long time. Even longer than the 12 Days of Christmas. Can you dig it?
Why 48 concubines? Really he has a lot more than just 48 but it is a fitting number just the same. Since we celebrate his birthday for 48 hours I sticking with that number. This way he has a concubine every hour. So get it? Pssst!… Don’t give me that 24 hour stuff. That’s if you ate standing still. With 48 Concubines L B will not be standing still.
How does this thang work?
- I am going to create a page on my blog that lists all of L B’s blog roll. As each blogger posts their chapter I will link their name to their post. This way everyone can readily find the other chapters.
- I shall write the first chapter. Then I will pick someone off L B’s blog roll to follow me. After that person writes their chapter they can pick someone else from the blog roll to write. You only have to write one chapter. L B does not have to write at all (unless he wants to).
- L B can call for a conclusion at anytime.
Terms
- Each author is unrestricted in how little or how much they write. The story must flow, however. For instance. If someone is dead in Chapter Two, they cannot suddenly be alive in Chapter Eight. Unless you write some really good Voo Doo.
- Try to write your chapter in 72 hours and then pass it on. If you just want to write one sentence that is okay. Just progress the story.
- An author may be picked more than once. But the author may not be selected by the blogger they selected. For example. I write. I pick May. May writes. May cannot pick me or L B (unless he says he wants to write).
- L B can write a chapter whenever he wants. He may pick the next author, when he so desires. It’s his birthday present so he is the novel’s dictator. All hail L B!
- The story is finished when L B says fini.
- Authors are only liable for what they write. If you wanna be humsap, be humsap. If you want to be nice, be nice. Stay within your personality. Then it will be more special for L B, ya?
Conditions
- If by some miracle, a publishing house discovers this project and wants to sell it at Borders or make a movie from its contents, then all proceeds belong to the authors and L B. All parties will recieve an equal share.
- All authors have a right to representation at negotiations with the publishing house.
- Authors and L B that attend the negotiations are expected to have a blog meet after negotiations. Especially, if we get a seven figure contract US$. All attendees are expected to camwhore, eat, and go to karaoke after dessert.
- All difficult questions regarding this story and the story’s rights should be tabled until they become easy questions.
Chapter One will be posted tomorrow.
