Just One Sentence
Write a story with Lemmy
Have a story idea or a random idea that you think others would want to build on, post it here in one sentence. The first comment continues the post and subsequent replies follow a top-level comment, creating a collaborative story, one sentence at a time. There can be multiple top-level comments, but each top-level comment continues the story in a different way, reply to keep it going. The OP decides and declares a winner.
Any non-story posts such as discussion or questions start with [meta].
You may continue your own post by replying to another's comment. If you are the OP, you may not leave top-level comments unless you are declaring a winner. This is like Asklemmy Ouija Style but instead of letters it is sentences. Posts may start a sentence. In that case a only a top-level comment finishes the sentence with another full sentence after.Posts can ask a question as a one sentence prompt. The game continues as a normal post would.
