Directors Writers Draft (1 Viewer)

[Dheiner]

Apparantly Eric does not want to play. I vote that we skip him for now. Any other input? I mean, it's the first round.

 

[george kaplan]

Well, I'm ready to go, but Chuck is running this, so I'll wait for him to say so before I make my selection.

 

[ChuckDeLa]

Well, it is annoying... twice I've checked and he was online but didn't post. But, I say we give him the customary 24 hours. Which means has a little over 5 hours to make his pick.

 

[Eric_E]

Hey, I'm here! I'm sorry, I usually only visit the forum at work.

Anyway, I apologize for holding things up. My first choice is:

Vladimir Nabokov

 

[ChuckDeLa]

I've only read Lolita, but

George is up. For any spectators reading this, we still need 3 more people!

 

[George_W_K]

I'll join in. This will be my first draft so if I screw something up, I'm just an expansion team!

 

[george kaplan]

J.R.R. Tolkien

 

[ChuckDeLa]

J.R.R. Tolkien

Bastard!


Thanks for joining in, George_W_K!

[Elizabeth S]

Hey, Chuck -- I'll play!

 

[ChuckDeLa]

Schweet! Only one more needed now.

 

[Chris_Richard]

I'll fill it out.

 

[ChuckDeLa]

Yay, we got 16! Woohoo!

Erik is up.

 

[ErikG]

Good choice with J.R.R Tolkien

My first pick is Stephen King

Many favorites, including:

The Dead Zone
It
The Shining
Carrie

 

[ChuckDeLa]

I figured that would be a first round pick. I like a lot of his stuff (particularly his short stories/novellas, The Stand, The Shining, and Firestarter) but hated others (Cujo, It, Tommyknockers).

Jan, you're next!

 

[Rain]

Ok, I'll play

Rats, I guess I'm too late.

Oh well. :frowning:

 

[ChuckDeLa]

D'oh, sorry Rain!

If 15 more folks mysteriously happen to come out of the woodwork and show interest before the end of round 1, I'll expand it to 32. But I don't see that happening.

 

[Lew Crippen]

I would have played, but I'm time constrained this week.

 

[Jan H]

William Shakespeare - it's a fairly obvious choice, but no other writer has had close to the impact that Shakespeare has had on my life and career.

 

[Dheiner]

Wow, now, this is tough.

Um, well, since I love the genre, I guess I'll go with the "Father of Sceince Fiction":

Jules Verne
