Since the original thread is now languishing in the obscurity of the archives, and I really enjoyed it and have plenty more snippets to write, I'm reinventing the snippet. I'min the process ofdone cataloging the snippets from the old thread by author/storyline. It'sabout halfwaydone! New stuff posted in this thread will be added right away.*
*Where "right away" means "as long as it takes me to get around to it."
For those of you who didn't see the stuff in the first thread, definitely go check it out. There's some great writing there, stories to make you laugh, cry, go "awwww" and go "uhhhh..." :smallamused:
I am also doing my very best to comment on every snippet posted here. If you'd prefer I didn't critique your work, let me know!
And one last thing before the Big List: I developed a very simple tool to look at your text and tell you some things about it (like if you have tons of sentences that are way too long, like I always do). It is available here! Please feel free to PM me with bug reports or feature requests, or just to tell me if you used it and found it helpful!
TL;DR: Post your own snippets here, and give critiques on others'! All systems are very much welcome!

Okay, here goes. I'll try to keep this list updated as best I can; let me know if I miss you, or if I have typos/broken links (I know I must), or if there's a better campaign/snippet name than the one I'm using. :smallsmile:
