Chain Story Idea ... Any takers?

[simply_cyn]

You also need to have chapter numbers assigned, I do believe, and some sort of schedule for people to have theirs submitted.

Thanks cloudy ... I'll check into it. I didn't think you had to have particular chapter numbers picked out because of the LoTR strand. It was just open ended. But I'll definately ask to make sure!

The Adventures of Perseus: The Prophecy

Excellent choice, Dar! What do you think Joe? Let me know so I can put you on the list ...

*Waves her hand

I love mythology. There are two I would adore. Pandora's box if someone hasn't already locked it in and Medusa. Give me a nice gap between them though please .

 

[Joe Wordsworth]

I will get down with Perseus, then.

Where can I find the story?

 

[Joe Wordsworth]

Oh, and keep in mind, all... this is my very first "chain/group/contest/whatever" story--so be kind.

I'll send it to you via pm ... at least, the version I have. But you can always research it as well.

Interested

This idea sounds great! I'd love to join the chain in "Pandora's Box and King Midas, if they're still open. I'm also a chain story newbie, so if chapters are assigned, just let me know.

Thanks

I've been toying with the idea of starting a chain story but before I got it started, I thought I would throw out the idea and see if anyone else was interested.
Anyone interested?

Okay, I've got you down for King Midas but Pandora's Box was already taken. Let me know if you decide on a different one for a second!

[Dar~]

Okay, mine is finished and is just in need of an edit. Any takers? I am surprised that I am the first, I am usually the last well email me or IM me dndjsp@yahoo.com

Did we ever come up with a schedule or anything. I'm still interested but wondering if we've got it all together. What's the official name of the chain? Who is taking what chapter and how should we title them? Inquiring minds and all of that!

I think she is right, don't we technically have to do some stuff?

This particular chain story doesn't have "chapters" because none of the Greek Myths have to happen in a particular order. The only thing that is required is that when you post it, the title of your submission is:

Greek Myths: ________

You fill in the blank with the myth that you wrote about. For example:

Greek Myths: Pandora's Box
Greek Myths: Eros and Psyche
Greek Myths: Jason & the Argonauts - The Golden Fleece

I'm sending Laurel a message to keep an eye out for our chain stories as they are submitted. I see this chain story as being very open ended.

Hope that helps! If not, just let me know.

In nobody else has got to them yet I would like to do Jason and the Harpies.
And Scylla and Chyriptis <-- damn I slaughtered that spelling. The first would be best done this year, anytime before December 31st and the other any time after January first if this chain is still going that long.

Okay, you've got both of them! We're not on a time line ... this chain story is open ended so when you write them, submit them. Just let us know on this thread when they post so we can all go read and enjoy!

Can I put in a request for Pygmalian?

 

[Dar~]

I just wondered if anything was happening with this chain, b/c if its not I am thinking about having LAurel move mine to another cat and running them as chapters I have written myself.

This is why it would be good to have a schedule like the other chain stories have. It's not personal, Cyn, it would be great if it worked out so that every one would just write and submit their stories. But the reality is every one here is used to chain stories having deadlines. Sexxy Vixen could probably help you figure out how to do the schedule. Or Cloudy, she's worked on a few really good chains.
