Help! Chain stories

[sakismurf]

I know this is a noob question, but since i have never before posted a story much less one of this type and the search engine doesn't work on my computer for some reason. Dreamweaver wants to open it up when I use firefox, and explorer, well that's not working either.

I was wondering if someone could help me. Some time ago I agreed to write a chain story, it took me awhile since I"m not the best of writers(or the quickest) but recently I finished it. Now I understand the philosphy that another set of eyes can help a story, so I won't comment on what I suppose the standard part of the rejection notice.

that being said, I looked on the links and this site, now could somoene please tell me how to submit my story properly?

edit-I got explorer to work, my connection is jumpy tonight, as doing a few searches, I have found the thread that has the chain story, but I still have problems with the formatting issue.

...could somoene please tell me how to submit my story properly?

I can't explain it but fortunately the folks that run the site do pretty well in the FAQ (Fequently Asked Questions) which I think you can still access from the home page, unless that has been changed, but even if it has, you shouldn't have much trouble finding your answer.

Best of luck with your first attempt! May it be the first of many.

I may be an overacting physco on this, but I seem to be the only idoit that doesn't understand it.

but this all that there is regaurding that

What is a chain story? How do I start one?

A Chain Story is one in which several (3 or more) authors collaborate to create a story on a specific theme or topic. The first author writes the first chapter of the story according to the theme or topic. The next author reads the previous chapter and picks up where the first author left off, continuing the story as he or she sees fit. And so on, and so on...until the last chapter is completed.

Chain Stories are a special category on Literotica. To start one, you must do the following:

1) Post your idea to the Author's Hangout in the Bulletin Board and round up any interested authors who would like to participate. If you already have a group of writers who are interested, then continue on to step #2.

2) Once you know how many authors are interested, you must get a schedule together of who will do the first chapter, who will do the second, etc. Then, you must decide how much time will be between chapters to allow each author to write their piece. We suggest that you leave no less than 4 days, but no more than 8. A week is generally a good amount of time, but it's all up to you!

3) The first author should create a story submission called "Chain Story - [Name of Chain]". In this submission, paste in the title of the chain and the schedule of who is doing which chapter(s) and when they'll be submitting them. If you've been planning this in the Author's Hangout and have posted the schedule there, you can simply paste a link to the thread containing the information into the story submission. We ask that you post the entire chain schedule before submitting the first part of the chain.

4) The first person submits his or her chapter to us, selecting the category "Chain Stories". Any story which is submitted to "Chain Stories" without following these steps will be moved to whatever category the subject matter dictates.

I didn't start the story, on a general basis that doesn't apply to me. What's more is that I also read it and re-read it. The closest thing there is to answering my question is number 3. I'm not the first author though...

edit-Alrightly, I just talked to the person that started the chain story, she ran me thourgh the process for submitting a story... if what I just submitted again doesn't work I give up.
