Adopt a Story *Ongoing Event*
Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2022 6:50 am
So… obviously there are a lot of contests and such that are often hosted here, and I don’t know about you, but sometimes there can be a bit too many all at once and it can be a bit overwhelming. And it often causes writing draughts and sometimes people just don’t end up participating, so I thought of some new ideas of other events we can have on this board.
I have some ideas, but here’s the first one I will introduce:
ADOPT A STORY
There are hundreds of stories by now. Many long forgotten, many buried deep deep down and many many unfinished stories. So here’s the event I’m proposing.
I don’t know how many writers are still active since Day 1, but if they are or you are the person that owns said forgotten story, you can do one of two things
1) Maybe update it
Or
2) Put it up for adoption
Adoptions are taking the original story and expanding it as if you were the author. It’s not an uncommon thing, and it’s often a great way to let new authors take a stab at dead ideas.
If you already know there are stories you want to put up for adoptions, link them here in this thread.
If someone comments on one of your stories and you’re like “oh yeah, I wanna put it up for adoption” then link it here.
If you are interested in adopting a story please message the author. If you come to agreement, please put in this thread Story Claimed: Link to original story that way people know that you’ve already adopted it.
This might sound more confusing than it is, but basically lets start putting our retired stories up for adoption.
