Countdown

[Flathead770]

I personally don't mind it but that might be because I'm keeping track of post stats and such, but we could try that if you want. I guess I'll start.

Littlefoot's eyes suddenly opened. He heard a scream that sounded...

... like someone near him had seen something highly surprising. The longneck...

..., though still half asleep, quickly scrambled to his feet and...

...saw young female flyer, standing four little-foots away and attentively looking at him...

[Flathead770]

Hey Sneak don't forget to keep the count going.  

... . For a brief moment, Littlefoot and this mysterious flyer stood motionless...

(epic faceplam to myself...
because I was told to myself back then "don't forget to post count, it is Countdown topic, not Five Words story topic!"
)

...then the flyer finally carefully asked: "Are you...

...by any means friends with Petrie? I'd like to...

( noooooo, Petrie should not to figure there at all lol ok)

...get his hand print. So, if you are... Can you please...

Best not to get attached to any ideas as it'll more than likely change.

"At this hour?" Littlefoot said, confused by the flyers odd request.

(dammit, I unintentionally slowed down the progress... гг)

..."And since when did Petrie become famous so someone asks for his hand prints?" Littlefoot thought...

This idea might have intimidated some people I guess, though it's not a requirement to post. Just a novel idea to spice the topic up a bit. It also could have been a surge because of the forum conversion. The activity picked up right around that time and now things might just be settling down to the older routine.

... .
"Yes, the sooner the better" the flyer responded, interrupting Littlefoot's puzzled thoughts. ...

Well, this story prevents immediate, quick posting here which certainly slows the progress down a lot. However, let's try it a bit further.

...quickly. The longneck wanted to be helpful to everyone but...

... his instincts cautioned otherwise. What if this flyer was...

...some kind of spy of some vile adult flier or even sharptooth who wants to... "What am I even thinking about??? I definitelly didn't sleep well..." Littlefoot thought. He decided...

Did you get a little excited there Sneak? Seems like a little more then 10 words

...to push out those thoughts and agree to help. "Alright...

(well, as I remember, nobody walked together with 10 words rule, neither I. You didn't notice it before? )

... just let me quickly have my morning drink, and we will go to Petrie's nest...

I did and I count my words every time and so far I'm still in the 9-12 word range. I try to keep it as close to 10 words as possible but there have been a few times where I've gone over. At any rate I'm not upset or anything like that (that would be rather petty). I was just joking around.
