Z's latest

[Zingiber]

I've just had another story start up, and Daciasdesire was kind enough to notice and start me off with the first contributed page.
Thanks for the great kick-off, Dacia!

The story's in its very early stages (only 3 "threads", 2 pages deep), but check it out if it sounds interesting.

Title: In From The Snow

Writer(s): Zingiber, daciasdesire, and YOU

Synopsis:
An interracial couple rescues travelers on a snowbound pass

Category: Interracial
Point of View: 3rd Person, Both Male AND Female
Maximum Threads: 4
Immersive: No
Open: Yes

Guidelines:
The scene is a snowbound pass, so nobody is likely to be around other than our roadside rescuers, Keith and Virginia, and whoever they find and bring back to their cabin...perhaps a couple on a romantic vacation.

Experiment: A thread map

I'm trying this as an experiment: a map to the threads of "In from The Snow."

If people hate it (spoilers?), I can scrub it off. If people like it, I can try to keep it going as the story grows.

Here it is:

new page on the Indian couple thread

Sanjay and Anjali decide to have Keith and Virginia pull their truck out of the snow, but city boots are hazardous on a snowy road.

And what's special about winter at this Cave Springs resort where they were meeting their friend?

An alternate continuation to Dacia's thread "A black lady unconscious", where Keith decides direct body contact is needed to treat acute hypothermia:

First aid for hypothermia

Also added to the thread map.

Hey Zingiber,

I just had a read of your latest thread and i thought it was really good. Its very well written and continues the flow of the story perfectly.

Well Done! Five Stars!

Dacia

 

[Zingiber]

In Daciasdesire's latest, our rescuers and the Indian couple leave the stuck pickup truck and hurry up to get out of the cold. Before long, there's a tasty dinner and an outdoor spa heating up.

Leave the truck where it is for now.

But what will they wear?

Thanks Dacia!

A new page from thisnameismine brings us up to 3 authors on In From The Snow. Thanks!

Keith suggests a way that the woman they rescued can thank them.

How Bout A Romp

A new rescuee, and a pillow fight

I step out for a couple days, and niceguy2002tim and Ooohkitty join the authors of In From The Snow. Welcome, and thank you!

niceguy2002tim gives a new choice for a rescuee: A single black male.

He's icy cold, so Keith and Virginia have to do something quick!

Ooohkitty has a contribution to the Indian couple thread, where in dressing for the spa, pillows are swung in (gentle) anger, and a small mystery is about to be revealed: Keith and Virginia change upstairs

 

[Zingiber]

I've added an "extended" starting page (rather than fuss with a second userid) for more rescuee choices:

http://www.chyoo.com/dx/index.php?dx=r&story_id=929&next_id=7815

And provided A Land Rover full of real estate agents for Keith and Virginia to have fun with.

One hopes it will be fun, unless they drink Keith under the table.

Continuing the story of the Indian couple (choosing to get their truck now), Anjali gets help walking up the road on her slippery boots so she can pee safely before they go.

Who helps out? Virginia, who was already standing over her when her boots went out from under her.
