brokoto: Can I make a suggestion? Yes!

Is it possible to change or edit the title of that thread?

'nairaland writers collaboration'? Sounds really lame. Doesn't inspire someone to open the thread Jo. Abeg Larry consider this suggestion. Tank you :* :*°•ĸϊsš•°:* :*

Mazi_Omenuko:


With 'veracious' and critique readers like ishi hovering around this thread, you only have to up your game.

Their is no amount of editing that will prevent her from picking up one or two mistakes; if its not the tenses, its the use of verbs and punctuation.

I tire oh!

I even saw larry pointing out a correction that punctuation should be inside a quote and not outside!! The thing tire me!!!

Larry-Sun:


Mazi, you're very lucky o, Efemena has really prepared a table before you. I wish I were you now, I'd leave the next writer breathing hard.

Oahray: *mounts machine e-gun on stand*
You said?

Larry-Sun:

And talking of lame, 'Lucan The Hero' is even lamer, LOL!

Larry-Sun:
I'll like to know which writer would be able to link the events in Lucan's dream with reality. That is one loose end that could be left hanging for a long time Any writer who wish to tighten that end should give a plausible-enough explanation. Amina's ankle burn is a pointer though. She admitted being in the burning building, but what burning building? Was it the one where Koko's wife and children were barbecued alive? Or was there another building? And we shouldn't forget that guy who has Lucan's photographs scattered in his junk of a room.. There's something very fishy about him. He sleeps with a gun under his pillow.

Was Tracy shot or smothered with a pillow? I can't remember.

The stuffed naira and dollar notes in Koko's mouth, his manhood floating in a simk, and the grotesque symbols carved on his body...all these must be explained in latter chapters.

Efemena_xy:

I can answer each and every one of those questions Larry!

But the question is: should I?

*** Yes, yes, I know may imagination goes into over drive most times...***

Ishilove:
Lol. Once I post, I will unfollow the thread.

Seriously though, I don't claim to be all knowing or perfect for that matter. I but I do lay claim to being thoroughly thorough.

Larry-Sun:

Thanks for your suggestion, Brokoto. But I don't another title would be befitting because nobody among us knows the direction the story would be taking. Giving it a title now would be akin to putting the chariot before the horses. And talking of lame, 'Lucan The Hero' is even lamer, LOL! As far as I'm concerned, Lucan hasn't performed any heroic feat yet. Let's stick with the current title for now.

Efemena_xy: Personally, I think the present name is just perfect.

~ It's a Nairaland thing

~ The theme is detective based

~ It is a club formed by the collaboration of varied writers!

Efemena_xy: ^^ Can't wait to read your chapter, Mazi

IZUKWU: me , too. But efe you are seriously not keeping your campaign promises on that lola thread. The question is why ? Are you also a politician? Fulfill your promises! Damn it!

Efemena_xy:

I know

You've no idea how much I'd love to do that, but that thread is meant to be a communal effort thingy. It tends to get boring, having to weave the story alone and I don't want to be accused of hogging the story / being a selfish writer.

Anyway, I hear what you say and would look to update soonest.

Abeg, nor vex...

Yes, Rap maestro, you were saying.

Nairaland Writers Collaboration

Redmosquito: [b]
I was thinking no-one would pick my clues, Efe went her own way and abandoned the "junk" and I thought others would too.
As for the notes stuffed in his mouth and cuts in Chief Koko's body and the mutilations. I have a reason for that. I didnt want to just create any kain suspect. I wanted to create a genius, one who believed in symbology and brains and subtle jabs and the likes, the naira in his mouth is a way of protraying his greed, his mutilated dik is a way of insulting his promiscuity, the symbols on his belly, any writer can twist this into any way he or she sees fit.
The crime scene, I left for the next writer, add more maggi to it and make it more spicy with clues. Its meant to be a detective novel, I've read a bit of Agatha and watched detective movies, a lot. So I know a lil about them clues stuf.
The suspect should maintain this genius intellect I've given him, Lucan needs to know what he's up against, a bad genius guy that is.
I'm really busy, I will still be here, but more in spirit than in body.
Peace

Mynd_44: I see the usual, petty and childisj bickering has not stopped.....Larry, abeg mail me when it is my turn

**unfollowing again**

Larry-Sun:
Efemena, I do not think Red meant any ill from his post. What I saw is he trying to explain all what he did not explain in his chapter, hence giving the subsequent writers something to work on (based on the questions I already stated). He really has no qualm with you. Hell! He kissed your feet for crying out loud.

I like the jovial and more understanding Efe better.

Bless you, ma'am.

Efemena_xy:

On the contrary, his first statement states otherwise and is loaded with innuendos.
