**Matching Game** Week 3, WE Writing Project

Ohhh, you're good. I'll be back when I have time to do these all at once. Wanted to take a quick peek. You know, you're keeping me up all night here --- again. And I'm enjoying it!

Bugger. Trapped.
I'm going to suck at this.
Here goes...
A J tinker uses snuff, and was written by Doyle.
Brain has dreadlocks, and was written by Aniko.
L-Shae carries a Uni-ball elite in her purse, and was written by Jean E.
Mordebahn has gray at his temples, and was written by Ron.
Sooky loves shoes, and was written by Kathryn E.
The Ferryman cries your tears, and was written by Joy.
Trolleana keeps perishables in a creek, and was written by Kathy.
Winston Rafferty sings like an angel, and was written by X Tabber.

These are the ones I'm reasonably confident about. There are a couple of others I'd like to list, but I don't want to look like a fool.

I am still on last week....

You are, Kathryn? So am I. Good!

Mark

I will write Sooky's letter to Kathryn later today.

And I will try to do these later,too.

wow ~ how long did it take you to do this? I am impressed with the amount of time and effort you are expending......okay ~ gone to work the exercise. I don't know how well I will do ~ but ~ jean

**skipping the ones already answered to save myself some time for more participation**

Seefids ~born at an unusual time ~ Grems
Launa ~ wears a hair net (I think) ~ Barb
Friday ~ has a daugher he doesnt know about ~ Doyle
Martha ~ likens herself to a potato ~ Sue
Dixie ~ loaded mom ~ Donna F
Cole ~ has a temper~ Emme

Oops Seefids is written by Mark ~ j

Sooky--loves shoes--written by Kathyrn
Madison--wears a black thong--written by Lainie


I suck

I can't do this.

a potato? Martha is no potato!

35 The Ferryman unlike everyone else in the house Sue*

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Except for the "Sue*" part, most of that is TRUE!! (But that's not my "thing" -- TF isn't like everyone else in the house, but...)

23. Madison Conrad-wears a black lace thong-Lainie
34. Tee-T-Bear-unlike everyone else in the house-Lynn P.

Dammit... more than ever, I wish I had a working printer.

Sure, like I could ever come up with The Ferryman character!

lol ~ do you forgive me Sue?

Jean-LOL-after I posted that I had to go back and read my stuff to make sure I hadn't somehow compared Martha to a potato! I do however know the correct answer, I'm just not telling.

29. Russell-pulls out an empty chair-Liz

sue ~ my "assumption" had to do with the memory of a response from someone (don't remember who) that Martha felt like she needed MORE and was tired of something or other......forgive my thoughtlessness/forgetfullness at the actual statement ~ however, in my defense (why do we need to defend ourselves when we are wrong? that's another posting all together, eh?)..........I do remember your character with fondness and a lot of feelings of bonding ~ anywhooooooooooooo~ my mistake has given me a reason to go back and read about sweet martha ~j

made you look ~j

The person above me created a character who tells people how to pronounce her name.

The person above me works her backside off on this stuff!

Oy vey...

I gotL
Tinker - snuff - Doyle.
Friday - daughter - Doyle.
Aaron Delaney - saw his breath in the cold? - Sheryl.
Brian/Brain - dreadlocks - Aniko.
Leona (or Launa?) - wears hairnet - Barb C.

I'm so confused. All the characters are getting messed up in my head.

Does Martha have gray showing in her hair? Written by Sue.

Ummmm.... I know this would be a TON of extra work for you, Sandy, and I feel like you've done OVER AND BEYOND anything we've expected... But...

I think it would be helpful if the names were linked to their stories. While I am going through this list, I realized that I didn't read some of these. Or maybe a link in this article to one of your master lists so I can go back and figure out which ones I did not read.

I am going to have to work on this and come back.

I know some but will get back to you on the rest.

"The person above me works her backside off on this stuff!"

Thank you, Doyle. Actually, I have worked my backside off on this stuff. Keeping the lists updated was a full time job the last two weeks, not to mention trying to get to know each of the characters well enough to decide where we can go with this. Wee WE should help keep me organized so I can spend more time reading and writing.

The person above me created a character who has a son and a daughter.

The person below me doesn't have much good to say about her sister.

Jenny - antagonist is a number - Dannielle!

Links to everything you need here.

(Sorry guys, I was up until 5 this morning, fighting bears and getting this together. Originally, I tried to stick this on the same page with the other post where the links were, but it was already too long.)

I hope the bears didn't win. This will take awhile, but an interesting exercise, Sandy!

The bears did not win.

The person above me created a teen character.

Lainie: It's Launa who wears a hairnet and was created by me.

Um.... Aaron Delaney wears soaked sneakers and I think its Sheryl O who created him.

Sydney/Tatiana--likens herself to a potato-- without looking I have no clue who wrote her

I think Mordebahn is the one with the unusual hobby

Let's see... Jonah Burnstein dreams of faceless jugglers and was created by... uh... John M?

Adam -- has a scarred palm -- can't remember who wrote him.

Cole is smoking someone else's cigarettes ... darn, can't remember his creator, either. Sorry :(

Sings like an angel.... It's not Tinker.... um... Winston Rafferty? No clue who the creator is...

And I need to go read more because I haven't caught up on the rest of the characters yet!

Madison wears black lace thong and was created by Lainie. That one's pretty hard to forget. :-)

And the commenter above me created Ell, who has mysterious marks on her legs and dislikes her sister (as do I). Maybe she's 'unlike everyone in the house'?

Winston Rafferty was created by X Tabber, Chelle (I saw you mention that a comment of two up,) and the person above me created an amazing character, and used the line, "Napoleon in Rags" more effectively than anyone has since Bob Dylan used it. =)

The commenter above me created a character that has no gender, as far as I can tell.

I want to give special recognition to Chelle, who joined us late and has done a tremendous job of catching up. She also mentioned one of my favorite characters, Jonah Burnstein.

The person below me created a character who is in prison.

In a way...

Cole was created by Emme and Adam was created by Pat.

The person above me created a character who has three children named after the three virtues of the Catholic Church, or after three martyred saints.

(I think?)

Your guess is as good as mine, Aniko. Actually, better than mine.

The person above me created a character who makes me smile every time I read him.

nevermind...

Don't scare me like that, Ron. If I left anyone out I'll be so disappointed in me.

Ah, I was looking for Omega under O, instead of A, is all. Teach me to skim.

Thanks for the special recognition, Sandy! =)

Ron, I listed her under O for Omega first. Then, I realized it's kind of hard to have one without the other and moved her.

You impress me, Chelle. It's my pleasure to announce that.

The person above me created a character who is involved with her three daughters and their activities.

Enid Weatherly wants binoculars and was created by Lori?

The person above me created a responsible character.

Enid Weatherly wants binoculars, created by Lori looks right to me. It also makes me feel like we are playing Clue.

The person below me created a character who wears a black lace thong.

My character does not wear a thong, but she enjoys playing Clue as do I :)

Here is Russell's Letter to Liz. And it is about Sooky's letter to him.

I have to come back to read this and the new instructions. Sandy you have no idea how good this whole thing is for me in relation to my veterans!

Excuse me a moment - I need to bang my head agains a nice, sound brick wall....

OK, back! Anyone have any aspirin? I just spent 5 hours doing this - on my own. (not counting the hour wasted in hopes Word would be kind enough to "respond" again. It didn't!) DOH! AND, yes, of course I had to go back - again and again, but, hey I am beginning to know people minus their avatars. lol

AND, no, I couldn't finish it. Some little problems I had, - two women are taller then most women, although I gave it to Eva, because we can always debate if Trolleana is a woman. Also, more than one person was under dressed - Arron should have been warmer (and home.) And, never did figure out who put perishables in water, and I carefully read Trolleana's story several times, figuring she was the most likely. AND, Sidney didn't "liken herself to a potato," she likened Tatiana to a spud. Then there is my confusion on who had the loaded Mom - wasn't Seefid also "born at an unusual time," even though his mother was loaded. Sooo, who's the loaded Mom. The ------------ should show my several missing info/answers.

And, for part 2 of assignments, the person above me's character is being stabbed with jagged fingers by Silence. (Poor guy, just can't win - yet!)

And, because it's 2 a.m., I'm guessing the next response will be from the person who's character is connected often with the number 3.

The first thing I thought of after reading the last line of Lynn's comment (other than HOLY COW! That's a list! Great job, Lynn!) was 3 Strikes and You're Out. Which just gave me an idea for Ell's field trip! I know, late start, but better than no start! =) Thanks, Lynn! =)

It's never too late, Chelle. Less than half of the characters have submitted a field trip post. I'm not discouraged because I think that probably means people know their characters well and are waiting for opportunities that work for their characters instead of forcing them in. As they read other submissions, opportunities might open up for them. There are no deadlines here - it's whatever works for the writer and the character (and schedules).

And yes, Lynn is kicking butt with the challenges.

I am lost.
