| - This is the second Baby You're a Rich Man story I wrote with TeamUnitedNerds. Originally, it was meant to be the last BYARM story, but during the writing of it, we decided to do two more after this one. That slightly impacted how I tackled this story, although there are still some remnants of ideas I was working with if this was going to be the last BYARM. I named this story "i sware on me mums knickers no sex no cursing no ayy lmao" on a google doc and created that page on January 24, 2017. We didn't start writing until January 29th though. We each wrote our opening sections on that day, from roughly 1:23 pm to 2:12 pm. We each wrote one section during that time, and I thought the writing was pretty standard for those two sections. TUN then wrote his second section in the wee hours of January 30th. When I got home from school that day, I wrote my second section, and then TUN and I completed the rest of the story. This took us roughly two hours and twenty minutes. Two of my sections took particularly long to write - the second and fourth ones - as they contained additional stuff in them that wasn't as easy to improvise. I'm pretty sure TUN was annoyed at how long I took on the last section for instance. With that said, this is a very short story, and at four sections apiece, I think it has the few sections of any BYARM (aside from Fin). A lot of the word count comes from the complete lyrics of some song TUN likes or something. So it's a really short story. The idea for this one came from TUN. We were discussing it even while still writing our previous story about Bardock. In truth, I was interested in pursuing a story about Mr. Popo, but TUN came up with the Nappa idea so we went with that. He came up with the name of the story, too. He has done this for both of our stories so far. My first and third sections are more like standard BYARM entries for me, but my second and fourth ones are not. I was experimenting with form and clever little things in my sections because I've written quite a few BYARMS now and to be honest I'm quite ready for this series to be over. I think I've said pretty much all I want to say in these radical high non-canon comedy stories. So to keep myself interesting, I have tried to do things that keep me interested. I feel like a lot of my contributions from the first collab with TUN suffered from an "I've made that joke a million times" feel, so I tried to go in new directions for this one. I really like TUN's contributions in this one. His second section is the finest single section any one of my three collaborators has written for BYARM, in my opinion. He was on point for much of this story, and I'm pretty sure his content is funnier than mine, but I'll have to reread to be sure. But yeah, he's been a great collab partner for these stories.
