☡Secret Shutin Santa Signup 19 ☡ Post Story Requests Here

More boilerplate:
1. In case of two or persons that would like to write the same story, I will roll my d20 and whomever gets the first orc walloping high roll gets it.
2. Stories once assigned remain your responsibility EVEN IF YOU SWAP.
3. Should your swappee leave you without a story for your originally assigned prompt then it remains YOUR responsibility to replace it, though I will do what I can. Just know a swap could backfire into your writing two stories.
4. However you can try a third swap, (If you dare)
5. Should you find a person to write your story for you that person is entitled to their own story request as well. No matter when the other person begins writing. So yes people can jump in even up to the deadline of the works submitted time.
6. Again I will do what I can to see Everyone who is interested gets to participate as they are able.
Should typing be a problem I can transfer a spoken story to text for you for example.
Should your prompt cause you to create a poem or Manga or animated work, or other visual artform interpretation with minimal text because that is how you are inspired, so be it.
But remember we need at least enough text for a quote for the guessing game.
8. Though you can ask for critiquing upon your written story if you should so desire please remember this is about practice and giving a gift. So bear in mind perfection and greatness are movable goals in this.
9. If your efforts trouble you to the point you cannot sleep at night for thought of the literary casus belli you have unleashed, feel free to rewrite your magnum opus at leisure and hand it over to your chosen victim later on. AS LONG AS YOUR SUBMIT THE FIRST WRITE UP IN AND ON TIME. We want to see it.
 
I would join in but there are some pretty silly topics and knowing my luck I will get saddled with a story about 'A rogue gnome who eats helicopters.' or something.

You can request as many or as few gnome copters noshings in your story as you wish.
As I have said I shall TRY to assign something suited to the person. If you see anything you really would like to write just let me know. Otherwise when I give out the assignments I will give each person several to choose from.
I wouldn't expect you or any other participants to tackle something that would be personally distasteful.
 
If it's not too late to put my hat in, I would like to be a part of this. I don't have any qualms for any story that might be assigned to me.

(My story request would be for a "steampunk ghost story")
 
Okay I'll give it a shot. Is this the kind of thing?
I would like a story:
"The Book that Wrote Itself" Each morning a writer, who lives alone, opens her file/ writing pad to find that her manuscript has been extensively modified by an unknown entity.
Whether this is benevolent or malevolent and what the outcome I will leave entirely up to the author
 
We seem to have a lot of first time santas this time (or are they little elves?) Perhaps you should fill them in as regards personal messaging (now 'conversation') if you want to retain surreptition- we had someone in the Anonymous challenge who put comments into the thread rather than personalising it. Aned don't forget to leave some slack in the schedule - I don't think there's been an SS so far that was ready on the deadline - just one reason why, even if I'll do everything I can to make this run smoothly, don't expect me to get mixed up in bullying people into delivering…

"Bullying" is a strange word to use for bribing people with extra stories, Swiss chocolate, good french wine and cake.
 
Now no one get any ideas about raiding Chris's larder. Covid or not it is bikini season and all you newbies will truly regret not minding their carbs when it's time for the Santa team photo.
 
I've been trying to lose weight for years. Just when I thought I lost it, it finds me again...
 
I think a "friend" sends it on as a joke. When I figure out who keeps doing it, I'll, I'll... well, I'll do something!
 
Still thinking on this but have a three questions.

If we are assigned something which we absolutely think is a crash and burn, can we request an alternative? :X3:

Once completed, do we simply send via PM to the recipient?

Would it infringe copyright, or any other in house rule, if one requests something set in a "universe" created by a published author?

Okay! Let's see...I would love to see a story about a sapient planet. It can be either deranged, or hopelessly in love, or both, and it has to not end tragically.
