This is wonderful and made me giggle and smile and be glad to be here.
I'm not on discord much, but two things I want to tell you about here, if I may. One is the pun contest I run weekly. I'd love to have more lovely folks on there. Everybody who loves puns seems to be a lovely person, and that makes me so proud. Please stop by for a giggle and to try your hand at punning yourself. We are also built on the idea that everyone deserves a friendly chuckle. Here's this week's: https://steemit.com/contest/@improv/puns-they-are-so-great-they-are-the-best-you-cannot-believe-how-important-puns-are-to-humanity-this-is-punday-monday-29-rejoice
And 2: speaking of things that I think are great, but that no one noticed at the time... I'd love to resurrect my Open Source Interactive Story project. Maybe someone could take a look and see if they want to write a paragraph? Here's the introduction to the project:
What is this: https://steemit.com/writing/@improv/new-project-announcement-open-source-interactive-story
and here's the first story I started telling with it: Start the story here: https://steemit.com/thedyingtrees/@improv/the-dying-trees-open-source-interactive-story-start-here
@improv I just started an interactive story. I wasnt sure if ya'll were still doing it, or still using the osis tag, but I used it. I hope to have another one for next week. :)
Let me know when you do another... And do you intend for yours to be open source? Can others contribute branches to your decision trees?
Sweeeeet!!!!!
Others could contribute branches. I wasn't sure how to continue it, or if it would be wanted.
Good good! Once I have a few moments, I need to head back to it and give it a shot. You know that mine is just begging for more branches, yes? I imagine it one day ranging across an epic swath of story.
@improv we are so happy to have you here, and even happier to have made you giggle! Giggles are great :)
I (jrhughes) was actually checking out and very much enjoying your pun contest but my vote power was flagging. I'm back up and running now and will revisit it soon! If it isn't posted in the Isle's contest links channel, put it there for sure!
I'm... Still discord illiterate. is there a direct link for that?
@Improv I generated this invite from the contest channel and it should go right to it but they can be finicky. If it just plunks you back in the Isle, look along the left sidebar menu. There is a list of channels under various categories (the categories can be collapsed or dropped down) and the category you're looking for is Sharing Shores. The channel listed under it is contest-links. I'm going to ping you from that room as well, so you should get a notification and by clicking on the notification you magically teleport to the correct channel as well.
Safe travels!
