Date: Mon, 30 Jun 1997 15:01:51 -0500 From: Phanny Subject: F: INT: PAPP: GALA INVITE For those of you new to the list in the past year, INT signifies an interactive story, sometimes humorous. This one is mostly humor, and springs from the favorite interactive on this list, SPT (Sweating Pig Tavern). Feel free to create your own characters or manhandle any you see here. Ladies should describe their ballgowns, if desired, and other preparations for the event. Please do be as silly as you wish/can. There are no restrictions on this interactive. The fun and challenge is to write around what others write, either including some of their scene/characters or building on it, taking it in new directions. And it goes in some very unexpected directions, believe me! These are fun, but productive, writing exercises that you need not give a great deal of thought to. This one will culminate with awards next week, but it may continue as long as any of you participate. Unfortunately, a couple of our most prolific interactive authors are indisposed at present, but we shall carry on. The show must go on!! Phanny **************************************************** This Wednesday evening, July 9, 1997, at 7:00 p.m., the WRITERS Summer Contest Awards will be presented on the stage of the new Perphorming Arts Porcine Palace (PAPP). Your presence is requested for this most auspicious event. Black tie and tails phor the men; designer gowns phor the women. Wolfess Elle will be excused phrom the dress code as she will, no doubt, appear in sheep's clothing and red sequinned voodoo chicken hat. Likewise B.T. and Dr. Phrog, who defy the cloth and seem to be most absent these days. You may begin arriving anytime during the day on Tuesday. The listed destination for all teleporters is INT: PAPP. Teleporters, Dahlinks, are how you get from one interactive site to another in a phlash. No phighting in the aisles please. Awards will be made by characters that frequent WRITERS. Expect the unexpected (unless you were here last year....) PAPP is two years old and is adjacent to the Sweating Pig Tavern, to which it is connected by an underground trolley. The true umbilical cord from SPT to PAPP is the supercooled tap beer line that runs from the SPT to all the dressing rooms and lobby of PAPP, delivering Molson's Golden and Moose Head lager to the assembled masses. No cost has been spared in the preparation, planning, and construction of this one-of-a-kind facility. Comphy seating throughout; not a bad seat in the house. Two tiers of balconies. Large stage and orchestra pit. A mighty Wurlitzer theatre organ with 60 phoot bass pipes. A glittering interior that will knock your socks off (er, so please wash yer pheet...). A giant ornate elephant head adorns the uppermost part of the stage area. The many elaborate carvings, posts, paintings, and exquisite woodwork will be a special art tour in itself, given by the illustrious Oglum P. Boomp himself. By Daffid and Phanny
