The Wheels on the Bus. . .(Chain Story idea)

[jushorny]

Holy shit, never heard of it and I'm in Chicago.

I've heard of sex though

 

[cantdog]

I'm gearing toward greyhound, because the interplay could be done at different stops on the route. . .perhaps a stop at the cafe of some town or perhaps a rest stop on the interstate.

Good then. If you stick with that, I am in. In, and groovin on it.

I'm going to start writing right now.

 

[damppanties]

Did Dampie and Aurora give a "yes" too???

Tentative yes.

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Great.

Welcome to the chaos.

So we have

RedHairedandFriendly
Selena
Sexxy
Jushorny
cantdog
Jett
Damp (when time allows)
Aurora (when time allows)

Wonderful! Wonderful! Tomorrow I'll work on a schedule with the names here and whoever may come on today. After that we can still include more later, since it is a bus and there are a lot of seats on the bus to fill.

Do you want to stay with the title: The Wheels on the Bus. . .or change it?

Hey, hey, now... Sexxy spoke up before me, I think she should be in the number two slot (so I can get my act together!)

I think "Wheels on the Bus" is LONG if we are going to do any of our own titles. Are we?

We could do "Bus Ride: INSERT OUR TITLE"

or we could just do "The Wheels on the Bus Ch. 01" 02, 03, etc... and subtitle them. I like having individual titles, because it gives people the idea that the stories aren't dependent on each other (you don't have to have read ch. 01 to understand ch. 02 etc.) So I lean toward doing the former, rather than the latter... but that's just me...

I like subtitles also, because it gives the reader a heads up, in this case it would let them know they aren't dependent on the other works.

Bus Ride: ????? sounds good.

Opinions from others?

It isn't a set list. Just the preliminary list.

 

[CrimsonMaiden]

I think Bus Ride: subtitle would be fine.


Red, I'm going to be kind of scarce for awhile as far as the forums go, so any info I need about when my story is due, etc, please pm me okay? That way I won't miss something that's posted here. (pm the Crim name, not Vix cause I don't check it much.)

 

[damppanties]

Opinions from others?

I prefer subtitles too, rather than Ch. 01, 02, etc. So are we going with Bus Ride or are there choices?

No worries. . I didn't know Vix was you.

I agree with Bus Ride: Subtitle.

No one's voiced another choice. Do you have one? If so that is cool too, if not I'm okay with Bus Ride and then a subtitle after it.

 

[cantdog]

Wow, this took a long time

How about

On the Bus: (subtitle)?

I like it because 'the bus' has a particular meaning in the history of the beats and hippies (you're on the bus or you're off the bus; we're all bozos on this bus; etc.) and because it keeps at least part of the 'Wheels On The Bus' inspiration. It's not much more lengthy, character-count-wise.

But I'll title it as the group sees fit.

I'm not attached to "Bus Ride"... it was just short and could fit another title after it...

And I like "On the Bus"...

Bus Ride:

On the Bus:

What about... putting the words "on the bus" at the end of each title...

for example...

I finished my story...

Perhaps:

Naughty Whispers On the Bus

or the character(s) name...

So and So On the Bus


You can get 35 things on the Title bar - that has to include your spaces.

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

And I like "On the Bus"...

You know... you have this thing about typing under me.

 

[cantdog]

I like the placement of on the bus after the individual title element.
Just saying.

I like it too, but since there is no set thing yet, we are still open for suggestions. I'll put a schedule up tomorrow, so we'll need a title for sure before I do that, because like I said I have a story to post. It was a fun little thing to write.

 

[Selena_Kitt]

You know... you have this thing about typing under me.

Oh .... that's too easy... *zipping lip*

I like "on the bus" at the end too...

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

As of right now... We have:

RedHairedandFriendly submit on May 10
Crimson/Sexxy submit on May 17
Selena submit May 24
Jushorny submit May 31
cantdog submit Jun. 7
Jett submit Jun 17
Damp (when time allows) ???
Aurora (when time allows) ???

And since we havn't heard any more on titles. . .I'm going with "on the bus" at the end of each story...

Does this schedule work for everyone or do you want to do it differently? This is only my second chain story. So I'm open to whatever suggestions you have.

 

[damppanties]

Just an observation... if we do 'on the bus' at the end, the stories won't appear together in the listings. That's not a bad thing, just something to think about.

Hmmmm.... Good point.
Everyone needs to have something of the same in the title don't they so it is obvious it is a chain story?

 

[damppanties]

Yup, but if we want all the stories be listed together, we'll have to start them with the same words, or they'll be scattered throughout the Chain Stories category. That might make it a bit difficult to be identified as part of a chain.

Hmm...
Then we are back down to

Bus Ride:

or

On the bus:

or perhaps

Bus Trip:

 

[Selena_Kitt]

May 10... that's today... you're planning to submit TODAY??

That's fast!

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

May 10... that's today... you're planning to submit TODAY??

That's fast!

I don't have to. I wrote it yesterday. Would you like to take a gander at it?

The schedule isn't set either. I can change it.

 

[CrimsonMaiden]

I like On the Bus: as the beginning of the titles. Nice little starter and keeps the stories together.

May 17th is fine for me.
