Sci-Fi/Fantasy Chain Story Idea

[Black Tulip]

Deathlynx..I read your story and loved it but didn't get a chance to comment. My mom got rushed in for emergency surgery this morning and I've been all over hell and back today. Just wanted to let you know that it was fantastic.

Sorry to hear that. Sending you (and her) my love.



On Laresa: I'm not sure, but I have only written one lesbianish scene ever.
Afraid I'm thoroughly in the heterosexual corner. However, I think it's fair to assume that Laresa has encountered lesbians in her long existence. She must have been around during the Roman Empire, for instance.

Since my date for a second chapter is right after Fall break, I can make it a definite yes.

 

[Guest]

She's okay, came through it with flying colors and all of that. I have to go to the hospital to see her and that place gives me the hee bee jee bees I think it has something to do with the smell.

And thanks all, I appreciate the well wishes.

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Glad to hear that Danielle.
and Sounds good BT. I've got a big gap between
SEVERUSMAX and deathlynx, but since deathlynx has one ready
and will probably submit his after SEVERUS' is approved that
large gap will close some. Right now I have the lost muse issue
but it will come back to me eventually. . .

 

[deathlynx]

Thank you so much for the kind comments ...to be honest the tenderness and romance is much more my style than anything else but the next one is certainly a deviation from my normal (as Red can attest to)

I'm glad that your mother is doing well!

Incidentally I already have a concept for the enxt one, but for that one I hope to work a little more closely with the person ahead of me in figuring it out

Oh, and my question about when to submit was more about timing than one of who I post after...I noticed that the date on mine is October 10th but that wil leave something of a gap between when Sev's posts and mine submits...Leaving possibly as much as a 2 week gap between approval of consecutive chapters...so, I will probably post a day or two after Sev in order to fill the gap slightly while still cutting time down...

Yeah, that date can change. . .How about submitting the day his goes up at Lit?

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

SEVERUSMAX is out and a date for deathlynx!!

please note any added red line to this bunch of stuff - - I'll add key facts from author writer's work to this as the story goes. . .like a cheat sheet.

Please double check your chapter numbers when submitting your story. Thanks - Red.

SCHEDULE​

The title: Laresa's World Ch. 01: XXXXXX (Your title choice)
If you wish to submit early let me know and I can change the schedule to reflect that. With the stories jumping back and forth through time, if you submit early isn't a big issue, just please let me know if you do, or if you can't reach the schedule date.

Her Limits and some things she can do:

• She's pretty much a slave with powers of a Genie and once the person loses the ring, they lose her.

• We'll travel through time and space.

• CAN'T alter major historical events.

• She can't make anyone fall in love.

• Can't bring back the dead, but if there is one breath left in the body, she can heal them.

How does one lose her:

• Lose the ring, have it stolen, and lie to her.

• Lieing to her makes the ring disappear, into time or across space, up to the writer.

• So lieing to her means the ring disappears, where it goes in time or space is up to you the writer.

• Rules can not be revealed unless the Master/Mistress asks about them.

Summening her:

• Twisting the ring counter-clockwise by accident, and twisting it while whispering her name on purpose.

• Laresa must recouperate inside the ring sometimes, when she becomes exhausted.

• She is invisible to all, unless her Master/Mistress deems her visible. So far this has been implied in some stories.

Anything else we can think of we can post here and I'll add.[/QUOTE]

I better get crackin', time's sneaking up on me! Finally found an interview with one of the original serum run mushers to get the cadence and lingo down for my Master, so I can get this fully into gear. If anybody happens to have "The Cruelest Miles" laying around somewhere, I'd be happy to have some quotes out of that book too, though. I can't get to a frikkin' library that has it in stock for anything

I'm keeping a header on all my chapters posted at my website, so here's a quick and easy directory to every chapter. I update it every time a new one goes live. Mine are links on my site, but everybody else's are Lit links so people can vote on them if they haven't read them yet.

I have the first draft of my next chapter finished. Anyone in the group willing to give it a read, drop me a line. I'm pushing some boundaries with this one, and I want to make sure I'm not over the line, overshadowing the emotional impact of what I'm trying to convey.

I have a tough act to follow after Outlaw, and it makes me nervous. On top of that, there's the contest, and the impending posting of the final two parts of Danica. I'm in full-fledged long-term nail biting mode here *laugh*

I can take a gander at it if you'd like. I've got an idea for a story for Laresa, it's taken some time to think of something, but I think I've got it now. lol.

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

My Laresa chapter is introducing A LOT of different things about the "life" and "rules" of a genie that haven't been covered as well as other things. . .When I have it done, I want to send it to all of you guys and get your feedback, if something doesn' fly or sit well with you, PM me and I'll explain what I was going for, and if it still doesn't work, then I may need to pull it out and rewrite it. These are big things that will come into play as the story moves down a path toward her freedom, if we grant it. . . I'll PM the story when it is done along with a section about what "rules" or major "additions" are written in the work.

Dark and I have been talking and he's going to switch dates with me to give me a little more time to get it done, unless you want to count the long story line I've used for the publisher on this one....I'd love to send it to you sometime since I consider you the expert on fairy tales, Miss Red.

Sure send it a long and I'm touched you think I'm an expert. I'll send you what I have to Laresa now if you like, but it isn't done yet. But an opinion as I write is appreciated.

It's sent, let me know if you get it since it is pretty long for a pm. And send yours but I'm not sure I'll get to it tonight. It's one am here and I'm tired and sick with a cold that I got from my little sister, the brat.

How are you?

I got it and will read it in the morning. It is 1am here too. I just am getting over being sick.

 

[Darkniciad]

If anybody else in the loop is willing, give me a holler to look at my next chapter. I'm pushing the edges of risky with the ending of this one, and all the opinion feedback is running in a dead heat from two chain contributers and two off-Lit readers *laugh*

In truth, 50% isn't good enough, and I'm probably going to rewrite the story with my original idea. The risky ending was a flash of inspiration I thought was sweet, but the "creepy" factor it inspires seems to overshadow it for about half of those who have read it.

Won't take long, because it's only the dead end that needs a rewrite. I can drop in subtle changes to a few things earlier to mesh up, because I only made subtle changes to the original idea before launching full-force into the new ending.

Already covered my bases on editing too. My regular editor is under the knife right now, and so I'm going to be without his services for a while. I'll be ready by Danielle's original date, certainly. I think I'm taking today off work anyhow. Been trying to get the jackasses to let me schedule a day off so I could make a run to the doctor for two weeks. They don't want to let me schedule it, screw 'em, I'll just call in. I didn't get any sleep at all last night anyhow. ( No, it wasn't halloween stories *laugh* )

I didn't sleep last night either. I mean at all. It was one of those nights when the nerve pain got so bad that I was wishing someone would rip my leg off. No drugs nothing, just rip the damn thing right off. Too bad I didn't know you were awake, we could have kept each other company, as it is I read a book and stared at my computer screen searching for an idea on how to finish my stories I have going.

 

[deathlynx]

I'm always willing to give people's stuff (Laresa or no) a read...Feel free to send stuff to me if you want...If you're more comfortable PM me and I'll send you my email addy so you could send me a file rather than paste...

Only note is that I'm not very good at grammar (ask Red) so I won't be able to edit for that, but I can certaiunly give impressions about plots, awkward points, stuff I like and all that...

I just sent you a part of the story I am working on. . . Looking forward to your opinion too.

Wonderful. Thanks.

I'm in the process of tweaking the "creepy" factor out of mine. It was a flash of inspiration that I liked, and if I was posting it on my own, I'd have went with it - no questions asked.

The difference is that the story is part of a chain, and I don't want to turn off anybody following the chain. 50/50 just isn't good enough for me in that case, so it is being revised back to my original storyline before the ( second, the whole story was an inspiration flash from the beginning ) "creepy" flash.

Yours is coming along wonderfully, Red

I'll be ready to go, switching dates with Danielle, to give her another week of brainstorming and writing time.

Wish I'd known we were both sitting up awake too Danielle I didn't manage to get into bed until around 1 PM, back up at 5 so I don't end up being up all night again. Hope you're resting now

I don't see anything wrong with "creepy"...If it's just the theme there's no problem...If it's Laresa, well, everyone's got alternate sides to their personality...After reading Red's next one and knowing my own next chapter (submitting tomorrow) Laresa's world isn't all happy and bright...

 

[Guest]

I read what she had and absolutely loved it. And after she tweaks it, it'll get even better.

ETA: Oh by the way Dark, nope not sleeping, my puter decided to blow a gusset so I had to give it a chance to cool off.

You're misunderstanding "creepy" as I'm defining it here *laugh* Creepy as in sitting there, kinda stunned, more than a little disturbed, and not really knowing what to think about what you just read. The feeling isn't a part of the overall theme - it obviously was overshadowing the theme that I was hoping to portray throughout the story.

If I go into a third chapter, there will certainly be another dark spot. The next mistress creeping around in my brain, waiting to wear the ring, is not a nice person. I'm on benevolant Master number II now, so it is almost inevitable that number III would be the opposite.

Back to work on the rewrite, and the lead-in now that I know where Red's is ending

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

I've finished, mine. . .just gotta read through it and edit. It flowed so much better when I started over. lol. . .
