| When he had finished a novel (which happens fairly often), he'd post a thread in the Writers' forum with a title like "OK, what next?" or similar, for the readers to decide which story to write next. At July 2007, no less than 20 of the top 30 (both longest and most read) threads in the Writers' forum were started by Chris. If things had gone on like this, he'd have 40 of 50 in 2008, 90 of 100 in 2009 and all of them in 2010. ;-) | When he had finished a novel (which happens fairly often), he'd post a thread in the Writers' forum with a title like "OK, what next?" or similar, for the readers to decide which story to write next.
