We haven't had a show V tell post since September so I thought I'd twist it about a bit. Some people post some very telly stuff and let's see it get turned about into showy stuff shall we.
In the same vein as the never ending plot line game, someone will post the tell and then the next poster would post the show and the next tell line
Like this
Tell: Micheal was sad.
Next poster
Show: Micheal let his head fall to the desk, staring at the door for news of what happened.
Tell: ...
and so on.
I know that isn't a particularly good show.
It begins
Tell: John ordered Gary to climb over the trenches.

Just a note because some people have been showing in the tells and telling in the shows.
Telling: stating what the motivations or emotional state of a character is (eg "Stanley was amused" or "Jack idolised footballers")
Showing: describing action or imagery so that a reader can infer the motivations and/or emotional state of a character (eg, "Stanley burst into laughter" or "Jack spent all his time at the football ground, and had memorised the vital statistics of every player")
