It was a dark and stormy night...... R4

We are almost at the finish line, Round 4 of It was a dark and stormy night.... swap

• You should have received and amazing looking story from your partner from Round 3. Now you need to add to the story by writing a paragraph or two (or three) to the story. It can be any genre, as long as it's family friendly (no squirting blood and gore) and ANYTHING can happen within YOUR paragraph(s). This will be YOUR story! Add your swap-bot name at the end, so we know who to track each story with (IMPORTANT).

• Send it to your swapbot partner, VIA EMAIL (use swap name in subject line).

• Sign up for round 5 to pass along your evolving story.

Please only sign up for this swap if YOU ARE COMMITTED TO COMPLETING ALL 5 ROUNDS. Last year in the previous rounds the co-ordinator AND some participants dropped out, which was disappointing as it was a very good swap.

This is meant to be a fun swap, no need to get your knickers in a twist if someone changes the storyline of your original story. It is great to see how the stories evolve.

All completed stories at the end of round 5 will be published on a website to be viewed by all. It is likely you might even receive your story back more than once to work on, depending on how many people sign up.

Minimum 4.8 rating. No unexplained 1's or 3's. This should be an easy one, so don't flake.

In summing up, for each round:

• Write story paragraph

• Add swapbot name at the end

• Send to your partner
