Divine Intervention Chain Story Thread (title very changeable)

[Chicklet]

Okay, so here's the "official" thread for the new chain story (concept by TheSandMan)

Uhm..yeah...let's get it on.

 

[Chicklet]

So I'd like to call Zeus as my "God" of choice.

In my chapter Zeus is going to be lusting after some "lucky" lady and following her around sort of like a stalker. He has this wild notion that if he gives her anything she wants (sexually) then he'll find out the way to seduce her...like, if she is thinking she wants that certain sexy bronzed guy over there and gets him and gets to do whatever she wants with him, Zeus is gonna have a hint of what kind of guy she likes and what she likes in bed...thus it'll be easier to seduce her, right?

The twist on my chapter is that every wish/urge this woman has fulfilled by this sinister god is going to bind her to him some way. I'm not quite sure exactly how yet, but it's gonna happen.

Okay.

Now, we ARE going to take turns, as usual, right? So how are we going to do this? Are we writing about ONE person who gets played with by a whole bunch of gods and goddesses, or is there a whole bunch of people who each get their individual god/goddess?

 

[Chicklet]

We seem to like the divinity thing. Okay, how does this appeal?

Each person could claim one or so divine creatures from any myth, legend, or religion to bestow the Free-Day to the lucky character. No divine repeats. If I took Bacchus, no one else could use him. I'm not, but that's an example.

The divine creature would then bestow the Free-Day on the lucky character (anyone on the globe) for any reaon the author desires. I would suggest picking the divine being accordingly. The reason could be mentioned or not. The character knowing about it could be yes or no. Loki would not tell the character while someone like Athena would.

The Free-Day commences where anything in the earthly realm that the character wanted to happen would happen. The free-day would last a single solar cycle: 24 hours.


Does that sound good?

Each author gets a new person. Each person has a different god. We're claiming gods now.

Just curious to know how we're tying all the chapters up. Like in the story about Adam, they were all in chrono-illogical (dis)order, so that Adam got more and more fucked the later in the night it got.

Are we going to have some kind of unifying thing, or are all chapters meant to be free-standing from all the others, almost like individual novels, but all on the same theme?

 

[Alex De Kok]

I thought it was all individuals. I've been wrong before...

Still searching the pantheon.

Alex

 

[Chicklet]

I second the all individuals concept...while Adam's chapters were very linked, this one is just a shared theme. Unless other people want other things for it. We have more creative control if all of our chapters could stand individually.

 

[destinie21]

Just an idea

If you wanted to tie all the chapters together you could add to the theme by stating that all the gods or dieties are in fierce competition to see who could be the first to suduce a human in various ways therby binding the human to them for whatever reason (and also insuring that the stories would contain a variety of sex acts instead of just the usual intercourse.) as i said it's just an idea

 

[KillerMuffin]

It's all tied together by one character being given a free day by a god. It's being chapterized because we don't want everyone to put up a story on the same day. Other than that, *shrugs*.

It's possible we might put up an introductory chapter explaining why the gods are doing this, but at the moment, no one has decided.

 

[KillerMuffin]

I'm going to take Coyote the Trickster. It will be set in the current year. I forgot what year it is, so fill in the blank. It will either be in the Painted Desert or the Llano Escatado (Staked Plains). I think I spelled that wrong. Probably the Llano Escatado because I live a little bit north of there. My protagonist will be male. He is not going to know he's been given this gift which will turn out to be a curse. Coyote's gift will be the free day, but potentially unlike other gods, his has two edges. Yes, anything he wants to happen will happen. The downside is that whomever he controls will follow his orders knowing full well that it's through some sort of outter force and not because they particularly want to. Sort of like hypnosis where the subject knows she's being made to do things and can't choose if she wants to do them or not. King Midas discovers his gold touch is a curse. I don't intend to introduce a global reasoning behind the free day, though I might hint at something.

My story will be on the lengthy side. I'll need a month. I'd like to post mine on or around July 14th. If someone else posts, first, that's fine.

It's possible we might put up an introductory chapter explaining why the gods are doing this, but at the moment, no one has decided.

Idea...what if we all wrote the first chapter? We could set up a chat or a role-play thread for a couple days and have a conversation between our god of choice, a competition would be mentioned and our characters would jump on the idea. If we had an idea of what would come out of the story, it might be fun...or stupid, I s'pose = )

 

[TheEarl]

We could always call the stories Divine Intervention: Zeus or whatever and just add the name of the requisite god to the end. Just a thought.

Still haven't decided on my God. Give me time!

NO TIME! CHOOSE NOW OR BE DESTROYED!

re: title - I was just braindead and needed to name the chain story anything...I figured "chain story thread" was too general. So, everyone else ought to throw their ideas out there. pressure's on.

 

[TheEarl]

I am so tempted to ask to have Jonny Wilkinson as my God, but I get the feeling you'd all throw things at me if I did.

I'll take Loki, Norse God of mischief. Should provide some inspiration.

The Earl

 

[Master_Vassago]

I choose Hermes. I want to be a little evil in my story.



Hermes is the son of Zeus and Maia. He is Zeus messenger. He is the fastest of the gods. He wears winged sandals, a winged hat, and carries a magic wand. He is the god of thieves and god of commerce. He is the guide for the dead to go to the underworld. He invented the lyre, the pipes, the musical scale, astronomy , weights and measures, boxing, gymnastics, and the care of olive trees.

 

[KillerMuffin]

Let's See:

M_V: Hermes (Mercury)
The Earl: Loki
KM: Coyote the Trickster
Chicklet: Zues
Alex: still choosing

Anyone else in?

 

[Guest]

KM: thanks, but sorry; just don't have the time now. Look forward to the thread. P.

 

[TheEarl]

So who's writing the first chapter then, or are we all writing chapter's autonomously?

The Earl

 

[Chicklet]

re: Zeus

If I think of someone I want more and no one has claimed him/her yet, I'll let ya'll know - as it is, I know about Zeus, so unless I get educated soon I'll probably stick with it.

order of stories? I'm fine waiting until July to post - I want to work on mine for a while too (or procrastinate as long as possible) If that were the case, KM would start on the 14th (right km?)

[TheEarl]

But are we working independently or is there a common thread. I've already started my story, so answer carefully .

The Earl

 

[Chicklet]

I know it's a bit late but I want to change from Zeus to Artemis and do a lesbian story = )
