original text below:
On my home street I have posted four story starters labeled 1-4. Your challenge is to:

1. Choose a story starter and begin a short story.

2. Create a note with your story (you will need the Penpersonship skill or a friend with the skill who is willing to make the note for you). Notes are limited to 1,000 characters, but this is just the introduction of your story. Specify which story you have written for in the header of your note.

3. Mail the note to me or leave it with my butler.

For each story starter 1-4 I will choose the four "best" submissions (the four best from story starter 1, the four best from story starter 2 etc.). I will post those publicly on my street. Then I will create an online poll and let all of UR vote on which story they would like to see continue. The winners will get to post the rest of their stories either on my street or their own street with me linking via signpost. I'll also throw in an unopened series 2 cubimal box as a prize.

You may enter for more than one story. Should only one submission be received for any story, that person will be the automatic winner and not be included in the online poll. Should exactly four or less than four submissions be received for any story, they will be considered the "best" and posted on my street and voted for in the online poll. I use the term "best" loosely; just have fun and be creative.

Deadline: Saturday June 30th 5pm CST

Anyone interested? Anyone have suggestions?

  • @ Misty sure, if you can tweak your story fit with one of the 4 story starters (they are glitch centric)

    @ Loupin I love it, I think you'll go far, just no sparkly vampires! ;)

  • Oh, I found a note you dropped near the ancestral lands regarding this and then immediately forgot about it-- glad you posted this here, too. Dropped off my entry!

  • 6 submissions so far, and let me just say that EVERYTHING I have read  has been so entertaining! Even to the point that I'll be away from Glitch and catch myself thinking of these story beginnings and wondering where the author is going to go next. One story starter has had zero submissions, but I'm not gonna let you know which one that is ;)

  • Just a reminder...there's still time to read some really creative (some dramatic/adventurous/humorous etc.) glitch-centric stories and vote on your favorites ^_^   So if you'd like to take a few minutes break from chicken squeezing or barnacle scraping head over to my home street.
