The Story Game: So you want a co-author?

Find your perfect writing match then duel to the death in an off-brand, Valentine’s themed THUNDERDOME! Oh, my manager just informed me we cannot call it Thunderdome. – That’s obscene, Thunderdome has been defunct since Mizal left-not-left. Okay, fine. – Uhm, how about The Story Game: So you want a co-author?

Two longing contestants are searching for their ideal co-author. The contestants will ask our mysterious eligible authors a series of questions, learning more about each author and discovering who matches them best. Once the happy couples are revealed and paired, they will work together to write a short storygame based on a romantic prompt, going one-v-one THUNDERDOME battle royale-style. The stories (and by extent, the writers’ synergy) will face public scrutiny and voting. The winning story and writing pair will win an all-expense paid trip to Paradise Island (a lovely island resort in the middle of the SHAME Pit) and a happy couple photo, plus enough pointless points to pay for brunch.

If you want to find your perfect author-other, sign up in a reply to this post. Two people will be selected to be contestants while six others will be placed in the eligible author pool. Sign-ups will go to Friday, February 13th and the show will begin Saturday, February 14th.

EDIT: The winning couple will receive one $20.00 comm each. Also, I am not looking for some mega-huge storygames.

Pfft, co authors NEVER WORK. Even your powers cannot save them, you can draw all the pictures you want, THEY WILL STILL FAIL.

(And the Thunderdome is coming back soon, shhh. The relaunch just turned out to be a little cursed.)

Alright. I'll sweeten the pot and offer each of the winning authors a $20.00 commission.

Hey, just wait a few months (or years (or decades (or longer (yes I'm nesting parentheses (no you can't stop me (>:))))))), and me, Avo, and Liminal will have produced the best co-authored storygame ever! (Also what might be the only half-decent one, but that's irrelevant.)

MHD, you're a gosh darn genius, and this idea sounds awesome!

I'd like to participate in this!

(Just ignore the fact that I have 2 or 3 unfinished storygames, one of which is co-authored...)

Also, this seems a tad confusing. If we're going to work together to write a storygame, how are we also going to face off against each other? And I'd suggest lengthening the sign-up window just a tad; maybe to the weekend, or something close to that.

Each couple writes a story together. Then those two stories face off.

Oh boy, yet another activity. This has certainly been a busy year for the forums. I guess I'll throw my hat in the ring.

I don't PERSONALLY feel that it would be fair to stick somebody with a partner who doesn't have a completed game, but this is MHD's contest...
