New Chain Story Idea: Superstitions

Uhmmm ... how about the letter G? See anything interesting in that book that screams my name, sis?? LOL

I asked for "G" and I'm going to write about Wearing o' the Green on Saint Patrick's Day. Shure and Begorrah.

Okay... the List

I will do my superstition and have it submitted by the 19th of June.

Elizabetht
June 19th

Counting 5 days from that point everyone that tells me that they are definitely going to write a story will be listed. Now in the past I have had people in another chain submit their stories early.... all you have to do at that point is put into the notes at the bottom that you are #blank in however many.....

example if you are supposed to be the 5th one then put something like:

Superstition Chain story chapter 5

Nothing says you cannot submit early but if you submit late... that is a BIGGGGG NO NO.

So far I have the following people interested in the chain story.....

cloudy
cantdog
boxlicker101
simply_cyn
CrimsonMaiden
BlackTulip
vella_ms
My Erotic Tail
Joseki Ko
ChilledVodka (if they still want in)

Anyone else in... I will post the definite list up on friday of the ones that have told me that they are in so far.

Okay this is the current list. As you can see I shrunk the time between the dates of submissions so that everyone would be due within the Nude Day contest just in case that the author wants to use their story for the contest.

If there is anyone else that wants in please give me a jingle.

Please remember to post into the notes on the bottom of the submission what chapter you have and the title should be "Superstitions Ch. *insert correct #*"

You referred to these as chapters. Deos that mean the parts are related or are they totally separate stories with the common thread running through them?

The common thread is that they all must have the superstitions within them. Much like the Zodiac Girls chain story that had each woman in the stories be of that sign.... each one of these 'chapters' must have the superstition within them. Lit will number them in chapter form... so it is easier to refer to them in that manner.
 
June 22nd - cool.

My superstition will be "seventh son of a seventh son."

Already started.:)
 
Elizabeth,

I'm thinking that I'd probably do well with water but am unsure of the superstition. Can you tell me what it is specifically, as well as pregnancy and wedding cake?

Thanks doll!

If the letter R is not taken, I would like to try that. I do not know of any superstition starting with R, but I can do reasearch. Please let me know.

water
- between eleven and 12am on christmas eve water in stone jugs turns into wine
- a deterrent for evil, bad luck to throw any out of the house after nightfall
- never boil water that will be placed in a bedroom for washing or drinking
- spring water drawn at midnight on any Saint's Day is good for healing
- any girl that cannot help splashing herself with water will end up with a drunk for a husband

wedding cake
- crumble a piece over their heads for good luck
- each guest at the wedding brings a bun if the bride and groom can kiss over the top of the pile without disturbing any of them then they will have a long and happy life
- in the pacific islands eating the cake is the wedding ceremony

There is another one, more custom, maybe, than superstition. The bride and groom eat the top of the wedding cake on their first anniversary but I am unsure of the benefit to this, aside from getting indigestion.:confused:

What about pregnancy ... you forgot the superstition for that. *grins, knowing your thing about pregnancy*

(mutters 'women')

- evil spirits accompany women
- women's touch carried misfortune so they were not allowed to deal with food or livestock
- women are not allowed to spin because it will mean her child will hang
- women can not step over a grave because their babies will die prematurely
- wearing pink will make a girl wearing blue a boy
- sex at midday when the sun is the highest will produce a healthy baby
- women who drink from cracked cups will have children with hare-lip
- stepping over a cat will make a women give birth to a hermaphrodite
- women should not look at the dead or touch them because they will give birth to a still born

okay sis... love you to death but I just ain't putting the rest of them up there.... two more pages of gloom and doom about being pregnant.... see why now I was avoiding that one.

Okay, I found it! lol Now see? That wasn't too painful, was it?? {grins} I'll take ... "sex at midday when the sun is the highest will produce a healthy baby" And I'll just tie it in with the Nude Day Contest. {grins as the wheels begin to slowly spin}

By the way, I KNOW that you love me ... that's why it's my perogative to be a PIA {winks}
 
Elizabetht:
I will take raven. Specifically I will take the raven that is said to be King Arthur!

Once I have the story written, what do I do? TIA.

Please Note: If you want your story in the Nude Day Contest then you must must must put that in the author's note field at the bottom of the submission so that Laurel sees it.
 
Mine's done, but I'll wait for yours to post, Elizabeth, before I submit it.

:rose:
 
:) I should be able to finish mine today, do the final edit tomorrow and submit it by tomorrow (June 14) evening. I have to admit that I am stretching the notion of "superstition" a bit.
