What was wrong with the Tessa story and how to do better next time...

The problem with the Tessa story was that some contributers wanted it to be all funny--with action and plot, but not realy serious. Other writters wanted it to be a more serious story... this is why it's whole mood would do a 180 from one chapter to the next.

I think that next time around we should have the person who starts the story state wether or not it is serious. Or have two stories running at once: one for those who want to write a funny story and one for those who want a more serious story.

This is just my two cents, but we realy ought to try it and see if we don't come up with better stories on either side.
