Part of why I promised myself to only write one at a time. XD Lol, Benboy's insults are funny. Poor Ash, you're a nice guy and yet so kicked. D: Good work! : D
I've tackled two to three before. More if you CONt previous co-write attempts, but they never lasted long.
Same, all failed. I think that's why focusing on only one is working so well for me.

Chapter IXI
I waited for everyone to fall asleep, and then opened my eyes to look at my surroundings. The camp was almost completely silent except for a few of the posse who snored lightly. I rolled over with my eyes closed. After I settled into a comfortable position, I opened them again. Flash was sitting on a rock, staring at the coffee pot. He silently kept vigil, occasionally stirring to look at our surroundings. I looked up and saw the moon was just about at its highest point. It was time to get going. I quickly yet awkwardly got to my feet. Everything was harder due to the rope that bound my wrists together. I hopped over someone who was sleeping beside me, heading directly towards Flash. His head turned in my direction, and he opened his mouth to let out a shout of alarm. I rammed both fists into his gut, winding him. He exhaled with a loud cough. I quickly moved behind him, hooking my bound hands around his neck and pulled firmly. He struggled and thrashed in all directions. I looked around the camp with beads of sweat forming on my forehead. Anyone could wake up at any moment from all this noise. Flash’s eyelids drooped lower and lower as he went unconscious from lack of oxygen. I looked around. People had begun to stir. It was time to get going. I let go of Flash and grabbed my gear then glanced at everyone. Benboy’s eyes snapped open and he saw me, so I turned and shot away. I sprinted past the horses. There would be no time to untether one and ride away before the posse got to me. Benboy’s shouts rang around the camp. I looked back once more to see everyone springing to their feet and heading towards the horses before they disappeared as I rounded a corner. I sprinted down a slope which ended in another rise, in which I scrambled up hastily. Once I reached the top, I sprinted as fast as my legs could possibly go. I ran so fast I was losing a bit of balance with the speed of the mad dash. This was it – It was most likely either run or be stuck in jail for the rest of my life.
Most of mine didn't get past round 2. My favorite was my Pirates of the Caribbean one with Sweets.
I haven't gotten mine of the ground yet. Sounds like fun.
Oh, is that the thing going on over in the LOTR board? It was actually half decent. Imagine trying to write Captain Jack Sparrow from the first person perspective.

Yep, smartly done. Wish I had read it. Yeah that sounds funny! XD

I stumbled and fell down a bit of a slope. I rolled down it and hit the base of the slope hard. I lay there stunned for a moment, then sprung to my feet and ran. I turned and dived behind some rocks and put my back up to them. I dropped my gear to the dusty ground and unsheathed my knife with my teeth. Biting down on it so hard it hurt my teeth to keep it steady, I put my the ropes around my wrists to the sharp blade and slowly began slicing through it. It was a tough, hard job, but I managed. Once I had severed the last few threads of rope, I dropped my knife into my right hand, sheathed it again, picked up my gear and continued running. I heard shouts nearby, so I turned to head away from the sound. I had to cover up my tracks though. If the posse managed to follow my footprints, they would catch up easily. I turned and sprinted across a large rocky patch of ground, then took a sharp right. I stumbled over dried up brown grass then skidded to a halt to take a few breaths and look at my surroundings. No one was anywhere to be seen. I continued running.
After another half hour of running, I stopped to take a few breaths. I felt sick from running so much without any water. I choked a bit on thick saliva and spat. I paused to listen as I heard horse hooves pounding the ground. The posse was catching up! They must’ve picked up my trail. I quickly sprinted forward and dived into some thick, tall dried-up grass. After a while of peering out into the dark, I saw the posse. Benboy shouted everyone to split up to search for me. Everyone but Benboy turned and trotted away. Benboy’s eyes darted around as he scanned the landscape. I held my breath as he approached my hiding place. He came very close. His horse’s hooves thumped right beside my face. Luckily, his observation skills appeared a bit weak and he passed by. I waited until the sound of horse hooves faded out into the distance, then poked my head out and scanned my surroundings. Benboy was shrinking smaller in the distance. I grinned - evading everyone was easier than I thought.

I stood up and sprinted toward a low hill. Too soon had I attempted the sprint though, I realized as one of the posse on horseback rounded the hill, carrying a rifle. I skidded to a halt.
“We haven’t met yet.” I said. “I’m LegoAgentFigure, but you can just call me LEGO. What’s your name?”
“Sogel Rome.” He replied simply, aiming the rifle directly at me. “What’re ya doing with your hands behind your back?”
“So, what, you gonna shoot me? ‘Cause…” I said, avoiding his question while I prepared a little something for him behind my back.
“Put ‘em up.” Sogel said. “…’Cause I’d really hate that…” I continued.
“Put. ‘Em. Up.” Sogel repeated sternly, squeezing the trigger ever so slightly.
“So, Sogel, how–“ My words were cut off with a loud BANG! I jumped as Sogel shot at the sky. The entire posse will have heard that. I bit my lip in irritation. Sogel quickly started reloading. I turned and sprinted away while I had the chance. I saw Benboy thundering back to my position. Everyone else came galloping in too from different directions. I halted as I was surrounded. This was it, there was no escape. Benboy’s horse skidded to a halt.
“Nice try.” He said gleefully.
“Thanks. Ain’t over yet though.” I said, and struck the flint and steel once more. The spark lit the fuse of the explosive I was carrying.
“See ya never!” I said, and threw it at Benboy. My move was stupid. It was daring. Benboy frantically yanked the reins of his horse to turn and gallop away. Everyone started shouting and horses neighed as everyone turned to gallop away. I dashed for the rocky hills. Someone’s horse knocked me over. I hit the ground and scrambled to my feet. The fuse was very low now, and the explosive was about to blow up - and I was nearby. Okay, maybe my move was just plain stupid.
More if you CONt previous co-write attempts, but they never lasted long.
