Sci-Fi/Fantasy Chain Story Idea

[Guest]

Are any of you going to get involved in the nanowrimo? It's a lot of fun and there is usually a whole group of Aher's involved. I did it last year, and actually managed to finish it. I'm looking forward to this year.

I don't know what it is.

Sorry Red, I keep getting booted tonight and having computer problems...damn thing.

Nanowrimo

Basically you sign up and write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. It's a lot of fun. There's no prizes or anything but what it does is force you to sit down every day and write. I did it last year and loved it. It's where Saint's Quest came from. You should check it out.

I will, thanks. I'll look into it.

As soon as I tried, my youngun would start actin' the ass and I'd lose my mind *laugh*

I have too many darn irons in the fire now as it is. I've got people screaming for Danica on one side and Arilee on the other. I get distracted on short stories enough, without letting 50k words draw me off on another tangent

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

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.

• A Genie only knows as much as they have seen, been taught, or are allowed through the powers of the rules/laws written long ago.

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, or if the Genie likes a Master/Mistress, they can reveal them. (I've noticed in the past chapters, that Laresa openly gives some rules as soon as she determines she likes a Master/Mistress.)

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.

Death/Freedom of a Genie & other oddities:

(this is a new category - - so it is open to discussion.)

• A Genie doesn't know how they are ultimately set free.

• A Master/Mistress can not "wish" their genie free.

• Death of a genie - the destruction of the home (ring, bottle, medallion, bracelet. . .whatever they live in)

• No more than two genies per Master/Mistress

Anything else we can think of we can post here and I'll add.

Submitted!

Ch. 12 - Black Tulip - submit by October 31
(( UN-confirmed chapters ))
Ch. 13 - deathlynx - submit by November 7

Consider me confirmed (provided we get that far )...Oh, and I'll want to talk to you oh-second-most-beautiful-flower (sorry, my wife's named after a flower so she comes first ) about your chapter idea...I have a concept in mind but it depends somewhat on how you intend to end your chapter...I'll shift this over to PM for now though

Death/Freedom of a Genie & other oddities:

I'm all for each of these...They all make sense to me and I'd already pretty much assumed all but the fact that they don't know how to free themselves and the two genie limit...

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Submitted!

Great.

You made me blush. - - I wait with bated breath (hurry I can only hold my breath for so long). . .

Wonderful. . . yeah those two came up as I wrote.

The NaNoWriMo from 2004 is still collecting dust on my hard disk.

Not a change in hell I will participate this year.
Started a new job, so I don't even have time enough to finish all that's only partly written.

 

[deathlynx]

You made me blush. - - I wait with bated breath (hurry I can only hold my breath for so long). . .

Actually, I was thinking of Tulip...But you can be certain that you do fall into that category as well! Always had a thing for Cherry-tops
And you've got such luscious red lips

Wonderful. . . yeah those two came up as I wrote.

I loved the story, in case my comments don't adequately note that! Can't wait to see it up and posted so I can officially vote and comment on it

Ohhh my pride is wounded, my petals fallen and my face blue. .. ( I was holding my breath ya know. ) . . .No worries. I assumed me because you were talking about the chapters and the submission list at the same time. lol. I am a bit scattered.

Fortunately for me y'all live too far away for modern gas prices

Laresa's Description​

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.

• A Genie only knows as much as they have seen, been taught, or are allowed through the powers of the rules/laws written long ago.

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, or if the Genie likes a Master/Mistress, they can reveal them. (I've noticed in the past chapters, that Laresa openly gives some rules as soon as she determines she likes a Master/Mistress.)

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.

Death/Freedom of a Genie & other oddities:

(this is a new category - - so it is open to discussion.)

• A Genie doesn't know how they are ultimately set free.

• A Master/Mistress can not "wish" their genie free.

• Death of a genie - the destruction of the home (ring, bottle, medallion, bracelet. . .whatever they live in)

• No more than two genies per Master/Mistress

• Wishes that involve the actual desire of a Genie transcend from Master/Mistress throughout the genie's life. . . example. . . "I wish that you will not watch I Dream of Genie again," Red said. Well, from now on that Genie couldn't. . .but. . . "I wish you never to feed the hungry again," Red said. . . would be a wish that affected individuals, not the Genie itself. Does this make sense? **** Now... we should let these wishes be removed by other Masters/Mistresses, but only if they the Masters/Mistresses discover their Genie's been forced not to experience something.... OPINION PLEASE.

Anything else we can think of we can post here and I'll add.

 

[Tseranc]

hmmmm, wishes that transend masters? interesting idea. I kinda always believed that anything that effected the genie directly (i.e. the inability to watch a tv show), would disapear once that master was no longer in control.

but I coudl be wrong, and don;t really feel strongly on it one way or the other.

It is only an idea, so that is why I like to discuss it.

 

[Darkniciad]

It is only an idea, so that is why I like to discuss it.

It has some potential for story sparks - but may also create some potential for conflicts. I don't see any problem with it, really, everyone will just have to make sure that they keep it in mind while writing their chapters.

Death/Freedom rules, all good.

Rules can not be revealed unless the Master/Mistress asks about them, or if the Genie likes a Master/Mistress, they can reveal them. (I've noticed in the past chapters, that Laresa openly gives some rules as soon as she determines she likes a Master/Mistress.)

When I saw this, I remembered it in previous chapters too. Now I can add back in a couple of words to my intro that I cut out working from the "can't reveal until asked" rule

I should finish my revision tonight, with the intro in there. I'll send it for a looksee when it's done Red, since the intro transitions from your chapter, and I want to make sure I'm true to your vision of your Mistress ( Almost typed the name... bad Dark! :: slaps self on wrist :: )

Now I need to edit my sig and change 11 to 10 before I forget.

 

[Guest]

It works for me, Red. I finished chapter four on Miranda and the Prince today before I had to go and spend too much money on groceries and very little on gas...YAY!!! $2.04.9 a gallon. I was so excitable.

This is why I like a cheat sheet . . .which is growing ya know. lol.

Yeah, it is 2.07.9 here.

I'm glad you got more down on your story.

 

[deathlynx]

I'm all for a wish that limits the genie passing from one master to the next like that...After all it would help to determine why there are different restrictions on certain genies in the various myths...

For example, Aladin's genie at one point had a master who wished that he be limited to three wishes, none of which could be more wishes...Whereby another master could, instead, wish for his limitations to be removed (although the general genie restrictions would not be)...

Makes sense?

Yes, I understand what you mean. If one wishes Laresa NEVER to orgasm But to always be on the verge. . .then she goes to another and he/she is like "What is wrong with you?" She could then reveal her dilemma and the man/woman could fix it.

 

[Darkniciad]

I'm going to go through all the stories and pull out the physical description passages for Laresa, putting them into a single reference post here soon. You could put a link in the guidelines to that post then, so everyone has a quick link to all the physical characteristics we've assigned to her - and how they've been interpreted by different authors.

The reference could be useful to us, and would be really useful if anyone new slips into the chain.

That is a fine idea. I believe they have been lose right now. Her hair is a silvery-white. . .not like Grandma white. lol. . .but more like the actual silver that one would see on fine jewels. Her clothing has been like gossamer gowns and the wispy pants and vests . . . I don't recall eyes being mentioned, but I could be wrong there.

The eyes are the specific thing I'm researching *laugh*

If nobody has noted it, I'm going to put it on the table, and in my chapter. Laresa needs some eye descriptions in there

I honestly don't remember if they were an odd color so they could change to accomodate what her Master/Mistress likes or not. . .Hmm.

 

[Tseranc]

well she has silvery/white/blonde hair - rather exotic, do we want the eyes to follow suit? purple/violet, or aqua or golden? Perhaps that's too exotic? ice blue or something.


or, like most desert dwelling folk (as we might precieve the Jinn, forrunners to ancient summeria) and go brown.

just some thougths, randam as are most of mine. LOL
