I always liked the name Plaything. We chuckled about when John first told me of this server (back in '98 I believe). It sounds like it should be dodgy, but as we all know, it isn't.
I'm always interested in new and interesting uses for the internet. A friend, Mr Kirkland, has produced a game which you may enjoy. It's based on the old parlour game, Consequences. Basically it involves taking turns to add a sentence to a story. It carries on like this until the whole wonderful narrative is revealed. The thing is, you can only see the last 5 words that were written before your turn. Give it a go.
Now, I would say that something simple like this could be the next big thing on the internet. The stories can be a bit naughty, but if they had different categories (U, PG etc), it would not only be very creative, but also accessible (not to mention funny).
The Black Rock Films web site has move to a different server...
Ok, well, I may update this page later on, if the mood takes me.If you want to drop me a line, please do, on:
