This is really good, @bluejay! 😀 I like the characters’ chemistry and how they interact. And I think I’ve already said this, but I really love the humor in it (and the dinner table scene 😉 ).
A couple thoughts:

The following day Uncle Daniel took me for a drive through the reserve. My goal was to see as many different animals as possible…

Oh dear, @kate-flournoy! Since your’s is after mine, the next person writing can just go off of your’s. 🙂

Ooooooooops… we were posting at the same time @gretald!

What do we do now… 😛

I groan and thrust nervous fingers up through my hair, clasping my head and shaking it violently. “Not. Funny!” I snap.
He holds up his hands in surprised apology. “I found it rather endearing, actually— you used to do that all the time when we were kids.”
Tears of frustration sting my eyes, and I turn away to hide them. No sense in letting him…[Read more]

What was this guy’s problem? All I wanted was answers to my questions. I’d only just lost all my memories, and he wasn’t even a little sympathetic.
“You know, I’m getting sick of your evasiveness. Thou art–” I cover my mouth. Where was the Old English coming from?
Gavin smirks at me. “Fairytales aren’t real, eh? Just watch and see.”

I could do it tomorrow anywhere from 1:30-3:30 pm EST.

@daeus We will still be asleep then, if I have figured this out right. Your 1:00pm will be our 4:00am. I know, we sleep sooooo late. 😀 So I guess for us Aussies, we’ll just have to play it be ear and see if anyone is awake when we are. (*Bother different time zones*)

Oh and one other thing, when you post something, look at the time. That is American not ours. See my last post was 10:25pm yet it is 1:26pm our time.
@daeus, I don’t know how you’re still awake?!? I so need sleep. (I love sleeping in… 🙂 )

@anna-brie How about we start at 2:00pm (aus) 😛
How long would you like to write for?

No problem at all. We can try tomorrow. (Sleep well tonight. 😀 )
If anyone else wants to try it, let me know.

@aratrea If you have the time, I’ve love your feedback with the rest of the story. 😀

This just keeps making me think of Prince Caspian and the underground fight. That scene is done so well, with Caspian and Peter counting. Maybe there is something there that will help.

There once was a lizard called Ted.
Who lived in an old tin shed.
His head was dark blue,
And his tail was too,
But he wished that they had been red.

“Wren?” I was stunned. “Wren, like the bird?”
“Yes.”
“Oh.” I thought I might have had a better name then that. Still I can vaguely remember liking it.
“Dad use to called me his Jenny Wren,” I cry, triumphantly.
Gavin nods and smiles.
“I’m starting to remember,” I crow.
“Good,” said Gavin.
“Now what?” I ask.
Gavin looks at me.
“What? Am I suppose…[Read more]

Or even 0:45 – 0:60?
