To aid the story, and to give us all a common framework, here are some guides:
On the bike is Ted. His girlfriend is Marlena. His roommate's name is Neutral. There are two other characters: one dubbed Tracy Dick, the other to be created. Post as many times as you like, but keep each post to about 1 or two paragraphs in length.
Here's how the Backwards City Foam Cowboy Hat Fiction Series works: Build off the last person's post, writing a paragraph, a sentence, or just one word of action. Try to push the story forward with your post; don't just describe the characters, make them do something. And don't be afraid to take the story in a weird direction. Write whatever comes to mind.
As before, posts of an inflammatory or offensive nature will be ignored and edited out of the final product. This is supposed to be fun, not a flamewar.
This post will stay at the top for awhile. In general, you can always reach the latest hat by clicking on the foam hat picture to the right. Feel free to visit our Foam Hat Archives. Enjoy!
