Wow, it's amazing what happens when i go down to the ol' wine cellar to bring up new kegs -- all these new people on the thread! Alright! Fresh perspectives to keep this debate going...
hmm hmm, let me ponder LMP's new topic for awhile -- i can say right off that if the Ring hadn't been found, Tolkien wouldn't have had a story (well, he would have later on, when it was found by some other poor slob) but as for plot tipping points, i'll really have to think...
i got one series of tales where things get kicked off by the narrator buying a car from its former owner, then one day the car starts to talk. And she finds out the owner is a retired secret agent... and his bosses want to make her an offer she can't refuse, and you get the idea where that's headed!
(Or for "Trust Me" -- adventuring party loses fighter, party calls local contact who tips them off to where they can find suitable replacement who's just been cut from cast, party hauls body out of watery grave, and the rest is fan-fic)
Welcome to all the new folks, please accept your official AYWSF pints and toast!

s.t.
