Pass It Along

From Elerneron

When I was a kid there was a campfire game we used to play that was pretty fun. We called it pass-it-along stories. The premise is that one person starts a story, and tells it for a bit, then at a crucial point he or she passes the story to the next person who continues the story where they left off; and so on around the campfire. I would like to do something like that here. I will start a story (probably not this evening, more likely tomorrow morning). When I am done, someone else can continue the next entry, then someone other than them (maybe even me) writes the next entry, et cetera. I think it could be quite fun . . . part of the fun, however is the fact that the writers aren't collaborating in any real sense. We are not planning out the story together, just each evolving the story in our own way. It's pretty interesting trying to develop a particular narrative when someone else is taking the story in a totally different direction. With that in mind, here are a few rules to contributing to the story:

Rules

• Each entry must be written by someone other than the previous writer. It would be great if there were more than two writers involved; but two is the minimum.
• The link will simply be the story name with the next number after it, with the alternate text simply being Next.
• Content must consist of more than a single paragraph. Try to further the story. It's often the case that you leave things at a cliffhanger, or important story point to put the next writer on the spot; but that is not required.
• Do NOT convey your intentions with the story. The point is that no one knows where you want to take the story; so telling them kind of defeats the purpose.
• Keep the story consistent; obey the lore as it has been laid out by the writers that have come before you. If Joe was a vampire on page 2 Joe should not suddenly be a demon on page 345 without an explanation behind it. That said, if no one ever described Joe as male, there is no reason not to describe her as a female.
• Sign your work. Use four tilde symbols --~~~~ to sign your page above the link at the bottom of the page so everyone knows who wrote that entry.
• Update the story codes on the Meta Story Page when you write a new type of content into the story.
• Update the lore as you write it into the story so that it is easy for a new writer to get up to speed. Do so under the Lore section below.
