For sure you have a great synthetic ability, a lot more than mine. A game ball stolen from a kid ...... interesting perspective,

BJD – I’m trying to explain what I really feel. First of all, I’m not angry with you because you’ve decided to write another version (your version) of the round robin. It’s a broader talk than the “Hazzard exemplum†round robin itself. Try to think if, in every round robin, a writer who doesn’t like the plot ongoing, take this round robin and create a copy for himself and few other writers. How many copies for a round robin? How many groups working on the same story? Maybe having different round robin from the same beginning would be funny. Yeah, it could be interesting. Different ways to develop a story. But, if the one who takes the round robin for himself is a long-standing member, and ask to friends (only other long-standing members used to write with) to join the new round robin, what have new members to do? Divide a round robin in a sort of Premiere League and First Division? A Premiere League where only long-standing members are allowed, and a First Division for the others? Moreover, it’s easy for a long-standing member to find people to write with, but it’s not so easy for a “youngsterâ€, who risks to remain all alone or with other inexperienced “youngstersâ€. How to learn something? Cowboy said he learned from more experienced/older writers, yeah, but evidently these more experienced/older writers didn’t escape when he joined in a round robin (or did they?). I don’t blame you because you’ve decided to write your own version of the story from Daney’s start (it’s great your sharp mind has already a story for it). I don’t like HOW you did it: you asked Daney, but not me. So, when I logged in last evening I saw another story ongoing with this introduction (your own words) “I can't round robin, not at all, I've tried but I just can't stand it†(what exactly you can’t stand? Me? Enos/Daisy pairing? Different ways to develop a story?) Only because you don’t like something involving a particular character (I know Enos is only a secondary character for you and you don’t waste your time writing ‘bout him or with people who like him), you can’t reject an idea or reject people who like this idea (anyway, Enos/Daisy pairing wasn’t the main plot of the story, nor I wanted it to become the main plot). If everybody act like you, the round robin section will be a mess (everybody taking the part they prefer in a round robin and writing on it only for themselves). A Premiere League and a First Division. In effect you didn’t kick me out, you “simply†take the story for your own purpose (a story I was trying to write on) and you closed it off. It doesn’t matter there’s the original story to work on: what’s the probability people choose to join my (or another young members’) story instead of yours (a long-standing member with proved skills)? You didn’t kick me out, yeah, you “only†closed me in a dead round robin. And I’m not angry, I’m only disappointed ‘cause lately I see two deployment here: one-liners who go on with their stories without any real plot (but I don’t care ‘bout it, if they like it they can go on), and long-standing writers who prefer to write only with few selected member. Frankly, I don’t find my place in any round robin or role play. What a pity, I'll go on writing fanfics on my own for the pleasure af all Enos/Daisy pairing's fans.

Yeah, Brian, I understand your perspective. But when I posted in Daney's rr I didn't want to trasform it in a Daisy/Enos story (I didn't want to talk 'bout why when and how they married). Not at all. I only thought to introduce in the story Daisy (as BoJames introduced Bo and Luke) in a new perspective (setting the story few after the series ended). But I didn't forget 'bout the missing guest, and I wanted to go on in that way ('bout the missing guest, I mean) even using a new perspective/balance between Dukes and law enforcement in Hazzard. I appreciate the feedback, and I prefer to have some advise 'bout my writing (so I could correct possible misunderstanding 'bout what I'm writing and explaining what I'm doing and why I'm writing in a particular direction) instead of being kicked out. The strength and the weakness in a round robin is that everyone can perceive their own sense and possible direction in the story, introducing new characters or new scenes, and deciding how these scenes/characters are related. It's how every post mixed with other posts that makes a story, and sometimes more posts need to understand where the story is goin', maybe after more several introductive posts (introducing scenes, characters and relationship/balance between characters)..... If only you could write without bein' kicked out or at least if only you had some feedback or been questioned 'bout your posts, or simply receive a bit of confidence from other writers.

slag you off behind your back?????

BoJamesDuke, have a deep breath, If you have groups or pairs that you prefer to write with (there's a normal thing), simply write a story in the "Fics in progress/collaborative efforts", and not in Round robin section. It's not very fair to make people feel unwelcome when they try to join in round robins. Take an ongoing round robin (the part you prefer of it) and transfer it to another section (only for you and people you like) it’s unfair towards people who gave their effort in the story (even if a small and negligible effort). It’s like you’re saying “You’re no good, let only me and my friends write this story. You're outâ€.

(If you only forced yourself to read properly my post, you’d notice that nobody “jumped†from place to place in the space of a second; Enos is going to the station to do work, and, before to reach the station, he stops briefly at his house, near the office (but perhaps it’s not so clear in my post) Anyway, I think there’s no reason to have two stories with the same start going on in parallel. Evidently you’re a better writer than me (I’ve no doubt ‘bout it) and you can go on alone. Keep the good work: Daney’s start is great and I hope to read a good story. I was only wondering what’s the meaning in round robin if people choose posts they appreciate more and reject efforts from other writers).

(It’s absolutely useless to go on with this one. The deal, here, it’s not ‘bout one-liners or not, created characters or original characters. The deal it’s some people simply want only to write for themselves and with only few other members. Round robin is no more a place where everyone can join in and enjoy. Just a comment. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think so).

(I give a try) Strange days in Hazzard County. Not only an unusual day for the Hazzard County Sheriff’s department and for the Duke boys, but an unusual day for the Duke girl too. It was only few days Daisy and Enos got married, after Doc Applebe finally cure Enos’ hives, and Daisy was now at the new Strate’s house, intent to change that empty house to something cosy. Looking at the flowers in the pot on the living room’s table, she smiled. She heard a car stopping in front the house, and she wasn’t surprise when she saw it was a patrol car. Enos entered the house smiling and then he kissed Daisy. “Oh Enos, it was only a couple of hours you left and you’re here again? Aren’t you on duty?â€. The girl pretended to be surprised by Enos’ come back in the unusual hour in the morning. “Just to see you and to check I really married you and it wasn’t only a dreamâ€, he blushed. Daisy laughed, “How’s your day?â€. Enos shrugged, “A missing guest from the motel. I’m goin’ to develop pictures I took thereâ€, then he looked at the clock, “Gotta go or Rosco will fire me. Byeâ€, and after another kiss to his wife he headed to the office. It’s useless to say, now, that having a cop in the family let the Dukes have any information ‘bout what’s going on at the Hazzard County department (more than ever).

Just my two-cents thought 'bout it. I hope all this thing 'bout one-liners here brings something good in the future. Everyone has his reponsability in it. I've been here since 2006, and even before I was an avid reader of fics on this board (I remember great writer like Valerie, Maryanne, Cassie, Jamanda, and so on). But then the RR's section has been a bit abandoned (or at least it's my feeling). No reviews or feedbacks (only few exceptions)..... Few writers joining a new fic. I wrote some RRs almost all by self. Maybe it was crap, I don't know and I can't know it 'cause nobody told me his opinion; sometimes I ended these RRs and sometimes not, because a lot of things: lack of time, lack of ideas ongoing, lack of help or feedback, random posts without any connection with the plot, and so on. In effect, lately I prefer to write a fic all by myself and to post it on Fanfiction.net instead of starting or join in a RR. Maybe the “one-liners†are the new generation of writers (unfortunately): nobody learning them how to write something different…. Or maybe them refusing to learn how to write in a different way. Anyway, the voting thread is a great thing in order to refresh some good old RRs. But I hope you don't delete some RRs only because of a lack of voting or a sort of lack of "popularity". Don't forget there are a lot of "guests" out there, reading a lot but not posting nor voting.

The story completed here. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5034430/1/Fallen Thank you for reading. (thanks Enosgalpal, I know you were waiting for this story, and I know I've been a bit "slow") And now, I'm waiting for your feedback.

Actually I'm writing the last chapter of "Fallen". Then, I've no idea for a new fic. Or maybe......

I love everything 'bout Enos/Daisy.... you know, LOL All my fics are centered on this beautiful couple. Anyway, I've never written something 'bout what happened after the series ended and before the reunion; in effect, I don't like very much the reunion. I can't imagine Daisy marrying L.D. and going to University (), nor Luke leaving Hazzard to become a firefight (), nor Bo leaving for NASCAR (oh... well... Bo and NASCAR is the only thing likely to happen). I prefer writing something 'bout the original 7 series (canon fics), or something 'bout few after the show ended (but not 20 years after). Just a personal taste. I'd like to read some good story 'bout Enos/Daisy, and not "only" to write stories. I really miss good Enos/Daisy fics. I'm looking for it everywhere in the web.

Chapter 7 is up.

Just posted my Christmas fic, both to MaryAnne and fanfiction.net I hope you enjoy it. My best wishes for a merry Christmas to you all.

No, it's not there. I've just looked all the past featured fics, but I didn't find it. I remember it was a round robin.... if I don't get wrong. Anyway, thanks Daney.

In effect I remember that fic here on Hazzardnet. I liked it, but I don't remember the title nor the author. I looked for it again and again, but I think it's not here anymore. A cleaning in the forum some time ago? Maybe Admins stored old fics somewhere.

Some days ago I was thinking to submit a Christmas story I wrote last year (and I posted to an italian fanfic site), and this challenge could be a perfect chance to translate it.

Congrats DaisyXEnos. 30000 posts?????

A new chapter is up on fanfiction.net I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for your patience (it's a long time since the last update....)

Unfortunately for the Dukes, Sheriff Little was very good at shooting, and he had a great aim. Suddenly the left back tire burst, but Bo managed to control the car, stopping it. The boys in the car held their breath. Sheriff Little smiled satisfied. Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane gloated. Cletus laughed happily. Enos sighed.

Enos looked at the General Lee coming nearer to the block. “Oh possum on a gum bushâ€, he thought. See, Enos was a close friend of Duke, and especially of Daisy (everyone in Hazzard knew that), and he didn’t like to have to arrest them, and now it wasn’t a good moment for his friends, with the road blocked and three armed cops in front of them. “Jump Bo, jump Boâ€, he kept on thinking. He looked at a mound near them, and he smiled a bit, “It’s a perfect launching pad for the Generalâ€, he thought, “I hope Bo’s noticed itâ€. And in order to help his friends, in case they didn’t notice it, he pointed at the mound, shouting, “Hey Sheriff Little, that mound. That mound. The General is goin’ thereâ€. Bo looked at the mound that Enos was pointing at, and he smiled, “That good ol’ boyâ€. Luke sighed, “Ok, we’re goin’ to destroy all the shineâ€

Oh yes, I remember that fic (I remember any fic with Enos in, LOL). Detective Roger, go, find out where this fic is. Glad to see you again Enosgal.

I think that in a RR there's no need to claim a particular character; it's the difference between RR and RP. Every writer add a part of the story, using every original character he wants to. I mean, if I start a story setting at the Court House where Rosco and Boss are talking about a trick (LOL, something very usual), I'm not claiming Rosco nor Boss character, so the next writer can go on showing more of Boss-Rosco argument, or he can let Enos in, or he can open a parallel scene at the Duke's farm. Every writer can add a piece of the story using every character he wants, and not only one. So, there's no limit to "origina" character RR 'cause you don't have to choose a character, but choosing oly one character could be a limit in a RP, you're right.
