Round Robin Stories Discussion Thread

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

This thread is to talk about group-created stories.

What is a group created story?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

A story that is written by various people. I think that's what Cheryl was asking about, unless I read her post wrong.

[Cheryl]

Yes Danielle that is exactly what I was talking about!

I thought it would be a fun idea to write a story as a group. This is how it works:

First we decide on a name for our hero and heroine. Since this group is a historical romance group we should have this story based on that genre. Then you take turns writing the story in this thread. You may choose to write a paragraph, a sentence or even just adding one word to the story. Here is an example:

Betty wrote: Jane grew up on a farm.

Anne wrote: She always enjoyed helping out with the different chores; she cleaned out the stables, fed the pigs and gathered eggs from the chicken pen.

Lisa wrote: Jane never minded getting dirty either.

Sue wrote: She was considered a tom-boy by most people. She would rather wear breeches like the boys instead of lacy frocks.

.... and so on and so on. Any person posting has the right to change the storyline to go in a different direction at any time. What makes this fun is seeing the different things people post and just how creative we can all get!

Anybody interested?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

I'm a little swamped right now, but I like the idea of it. Can you pop in and add to the story at any time, or will there be an order to the installments?

[Cheryl]

You may add to the story at any time... anyone may post as they wish, they may post one time or multiple times! That's what makes it fun, there is no pressure and no time limit!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Okay. Count me in, in that case!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

It sounds intimidating to me. ROFLMAO! I'll watch for awhile and then if I think I can do it without messing up, I'll be in!

[Alycia]

That sounds like fun! I'll join in.

[Cheryl]

Great Danielle and Alycia! Dhestiny this is so up your alley!!! You will bring some great humor to the story I am sure. It is basically what many of us do with each other anyways... but instead of it being about us it will be a story about our fictional hero and heroine!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Awww, thanks Cheryl!! I appreciate your enthusiasm! It sounds fun!

[Cheryl]

So... start letting your creative juices flow and lets throw out some possible names for the h/h.

Hmm... All the names I keep thinking of are heroes of LK's!!!! Crap! I can't think....

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

My favorite heroes are named Royce and Iain. Royce from A Kingdom of Dreams and The Prize. Iain from Garwood's Highlanders. It's not just that they were great heroes, but I LOVE the names!

[Cheryl]

Yes I like the name Iain, Simon, Sebastion, Edward, Anthony


Elizabeth, Caroline, Eleanor, Amelia

Ok, I found this thread, not good at writing(actually ahve never tried) but I have a hero name...RADEK...love this name! Just a suggestion tho. Up to you guys!


Hahahaha, how'bout Giulio?

[♥ Beth]

How about Jack, Gavin or Max?

[[deleted user]]

Keith or Kaleb

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Julian, Rafael, Christian, Michael

Alexandra, Vivian, Lily, Corinne

[Cheryl]

Oh such great names these are! How do we pick?

Heidi you don't have to be good at writing, you can contribute one word, such as "Indeed" or "yes", or you can contribute one sentence, such as "It was the worst day of her life."

[Anne OK]

Morgan, Connor, Lucas, Kyan, Alec, Nicholas

Brynn, Delaney, Kate, Kendra, Lauren, Meredith

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

GAGE

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

or Seth. I like Seth. And Andrew

[Anne OK]

How about Gabe? Did you forget about Hardy?

[Anne OK]

P.S. I hope you all know I'm just playing around - it makes me no difference whatsoever what our characters are named. They all sound good to me as long as HE is tall, dark and handsome -- and MUST have midnight blue eyes!!!!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I think everyone should get 1 vote. Pick a name and then on let's say... Monday, we'll post all the names and then vote on them. The one with the most votes wins... if there is a tie we can vote on the names and narrow it down.

What say yous?

[Alycia]

I like the name Gage. And Anne, he must have coal black hair! :)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

In case you decide to go that way - here is my vote:

Hero - ROYCE
Heroine - PATIENCE

sounds good to me.

[Anne OK]

You got it, Alycia! I'm picturing him in my mind now. He's smiling ear-to-ear with small dimples in each cheek, and he's hoping he gets a name real soon.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

And please don't think I'm taking this over. It was just a suggestion and regardless of how yous decide to do it, those are my votes for hero and heroine.

Gracianna(Graci for short)
Anya
Toria
Aja
Simone
Camille
Eulaliah(love this name, means "well spoken" in Greek)

[Alycia]

Yes! I can see him in my mind... tall, bronzed by the sun, muscular, sinfully handsome, coal black hair, that slightly curls with a rebellious lock that sweeps across his forehead, and midnight blue eyes that can see in the depth of your soul... he is quite delicious... he does need a name!!!

OMG! Yes!!! He needs a name NOW!
Oops! Does everyone else agree with the birth that Alycia and I just gave to the perfect man???

[Cheryl]

Love how the hero is described! I agree with Dhes, let's take a vote on the name! Shouldn't they have last names as well? Is our hero a titled gentleman?

So, just to regroup-- Everyone post their name suggestions and we will vote on Monday. Please only give only one name of h/h per person!

1- first, last name hero
2- title of hero
3- first, last name heroine

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Royce Hawthorne

Duke

Patience Hastings

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Rachael, why is that funny?

Ok .. I would prefer a "Viscount" for the male or an "Earl" and the heroine a "dutchess"

Hero
Viscount Ethan Westfield

Heroine

Dutchess Rachael Menarefree

[[deleted user]]

But then i tend to love the stories where a fair maiden or a farm girl gets seduced and ravished by someone of impotantce like a Viscount/duke ...

this is goign to be difficult ...

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Christian Hawthorne, Earl of Ashbourne (Lord Ashbourne)
Miss Vivian Fitzgerald

These are great names! I'm getting excited and can't wait to see how this story turns out! It's gonna get crazy in here when we all start adding to the story!

[Alycia]

I like Danielle's names too! :)

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]
