Haberdasher suggested that we move this to a new thread, which I have done. We'll leave the old thread for the traditional game.

When last we left our heroine...

Once upon a time there was ...
A sad young girl named Cinderella.
She had a kind Fairy Godmother.
One dismal afternoon Cinderella was wondering ...
How come it always took both
Our honorable sister's tintinnabulation's heavy tonight?
Which sister will definitely find happiness?
Cinderella was always deflowering innocent ranchhands.
[Yet], She had always made excellent dumplings.
[So, which diego did the girl date?]
She wanted desperately to go dancing
Proud royal investigators noticed Cinderella's enigma
Presently, ride in nice carriage ensued


(This is trying to be a story, remember? It doesn't have to be Cinderella as we know it, but it ought to make some kind of twisted sense. Is it wanted to put it into a separate thread, and leave this one for more free-form output?)


PCADWE
(which can be "Prince came and danced with everyone" but could equally be "Presently clouds and dew were evident" or "Please collect a dollar when entering" or something else - take your pick and continue!)

PCADWE

Pretty Cinderella always did want excitement!

SWSWTP

She waltzed, she watusi'd* till puffed.

* No comments on the apostrophe, please!

Then she approached the royal prince.

Her eyes dark with inviting glance...

Then, a dastardly animal suddenly negated....

Renevant, your letters???

Somehow I think we're doing something wrong with this story! It doesn't seem to be playing out like I thought it would. How about if we alter the original rules so that we don't have to have each post be a complete thought. We could have continued, for example, the sentence about the dastardly animal negating.... Just a thought, and I don't want to be controlling!

She ordered rare roast yak, knowing ... ...
