Thread Exchange Challenge

[Torg]

Okay, here's the deal. For the next week, I will match every thread posted to the following list of my original stories (not those I've adopted):

Dorm Life
His Son's Friends
Jamaican Resort
Lawn Boy
Summer Road Trip
The Mailroom Guy
The Tome


You can either get a thread on one of your stories or on one of your threads on someone else's story. Let me know what preference you have, as well as which stories you'd like me to concentrate on. I like having more than one option for reasons of inspiration -- you never know which stories are going to turn me on on a given day.

The deadline is 11:59pm on Tuesday, January 15th, 2008.

P.S. I know I still owe mysterious100 a thread from the last challenge on feedback. Would you like me to add to your story or one of your threads on someone else's story? I just haven't been inspired yet by your one story.

Match every thread?

You know what, if I go over five, feel free to stop at five. I won't even complain if you only match one or two, that's still pretty sweet.

 

[moonblack]

Would you mind explaining how exactly does First Name and Last Name work in "The Tome"? Who is who?

While I try to come up with a good thread for you, feel free to add to Endowiar and take advantage of my offer.

You are mighty prolific, so I will probably take you up on that. But unless someone gets very inspired, no one else should be a problem.

{FIRST_NAME} and {LAST_NAME} in The Tome are exactly that, the first and last name of the main character.

I've changed the intro to reflect this.

I just added a thread to The Tome -> {FIRST_NAME} tries the spell… with unexpected results

I hope the idea is not too weird.

One thing I'd like to point out, and that's what made me ask about the use of {FIRST_NAME} and {LAST_NAME} - in the Female, high school senior {FIRST_NAME}'s partner is also called Jane, which is the default name for female {FIRST_NAME}, and that can be very confusing. You should consider changing it.

The female story doesn't use the FIRST_NAME/LAST_NAME thing correctly, so I'll fix it all up today.

I just posted something in Lawn Boy

For matched threads, you can feel free to add something to Professor Puppetmaster. Alternately, I'd be just as happy with a follow up thread to anything I've done in Absolute Power, Weekend at an All Girls Dorm, Club Slut, Sidekicks R Us, or Back of the Bus. As a general rule I'd rather have threads from the middle of a series of my threads instead of the end, since I love alternate paths. But the end is fine too if that's where the inspiration strikes.

So, soon as you fix the thread, I owe you one -- see comments. And I owe moonblack, so far.

And I owe moonblack, so far.

I already have an idea for a follow-up to my previous addition.

Endowiar (link is in my signature) could use a few quality additions by someone other than me and gunde

 

[GoodBoy741]

New thread in The Tome.

And another in His Son's Friends.

Plus a follow up in Lawn Boy

 

[Torg]

And a fifth thread from me in Lawn Boy

Oh, good. That matches my records.

By my tabulation, these are the threads that have been posted as part of this program. If you think you have threads not counted here, let me know.

[GoodBoy741]

And a fifth thread from me in Lawn Boy

 

[Zingiber]

Dorm Life

Added Bryan goes with Scott and Lynn to the Lagoon, to Dorm Life.

I'd love to see an update to Living Like Bonobos if you can, or any of my stories.

-Z.

 

[mysterious100]

I know I still owe mysterious100 a thread from the last challenge on feedback. Would you like me to add to your story or one of your threads on someone else's story?

I'd prefer one for my story if you can.

 

[moonblack]

I added a thread to Dorm Life -> Have a look around the dorm

I have ideas for two more threads following this one, and one of them is already partially written, but I don't know when I'll be able to finish it. Hopefully tomorrow.

 

[lilguy]

glad Lawn boy back up

Would add to that

I can be profilic...so give you the same deal goodboy did

 

[moonblack]

I added one more thread to Dorm Life -> He decides to investigate

Ah, if only there were librarians like that where I live...

 

[TJChurch]

Looks like my added thread to "Mailroom Guy" was approved. While I'd love to see a thread added to the story I created, it's sat dormant for such a long time, I'm shocked it hasn't been deleted entirely yet.

I'm not sure offhand which one of my threads out there I care to see continued or how, so it's heavily up to you.

 

[lilguy]

guess I should tell you my prefece

one of my stories
Could use one for
BOND GIRL- sense that doesnt have a lot of action
or some of the gordor stories

But so far I notice you do more real world stuff

So guess if thay your preferance. The good boy stories
Or Ann night on the Town, Beth night on the town, Veronica night on the town

Stuff like that

 

[Zingiber]

Library Science

Ah, if only there were librarians like that where I live...

Like this?

I added 2 threads to The Tome and 2 more to Dorm Life, so that's 4, not 3.
