detective story

This is a work in progress, though I’m really not sure where I’m going with it. As a basic idea, I thought it was kind of funny, but I’m not sure how well that translated into something concrete.

Sorry I didn’t post anything yet on the obsession/color thing. I couldn’t think of anything, then I started working on an essay but it’s not done yet. I’ll comment on both of your pieces shortly. I’m working 50 hours a week right now so things are going slightly slower than they otherwise might.

Where is everybody?

I hope we can get more people to participate. That may be crucial in order for this to work.
Would it help if we extended the deadlines and had assignments due every other week? I realize we’re still working out the bugs and figuring out what it will take to make this run smoothly, so if [...]
