Adopt-a-story program

It's been awhile since I've posted, so I wanted to ask what the requirements were to deem a story abandoned.

Each moderator has their own criteria. Mine is unapproved threads and no response to email for 3 months.
 
A blow against spam.

Bumping an on-topic thread to kick the advertising off the top. S'the problem with a slow forum, spam sticks to the top for a while.
 
Just out of curiosity (And asking in the right place this time)

Is "Venus Rising" by lostandfound available for adoption?

Looks like it was last modified june 27th of this year.

Since there are no pending threads, I am loathe to transfer editorship. Why don't you write for the story, add a thread or two on different storylines, and then wait to see what happens. If in three months, those threads are still unapproved, I'll set you up as editor.
 
Thanks

I'll start banging away again tonight, and hopefully have some stuff by tomorrow.

:)

BTW: THANK YOU to everyone who adopted my old stories. I've been reading over them and am really impressed with what you've done with them.

Now I have to start posting to them again... grumble grumble

Any chance you want to adopt them?
 
Sure.

I'd love to have Quiet Streets back...

Well, lets see, Book of Magic was my first story here, and it was fun...

Apart from that, I just remade Sex with Consequences...(Wanted a reset, not that the threads weren't great, but it wasn't really MY story anymore...) :)

Yeah, if you're sick of taking care of them, I'd love to have em back.

I've transferred Book of Magic and Quiet Streets (sorry jakelyon).

And since I created another version of Book of Magic with a male protagonist, I have no trouble reversing BoM to you.

And you left me with my favorite, Sex with Consequences.
 
Wrestling-Related Stories

Just looking thru some stories I've written for, & noticed 2, both titled "WWE", that haven't been touched in close to a year.

They both are up to date, though. I only transfer stories that have 3-month old unapproved threads. If you add something to them, I could transfer them after they sat for three months.

That's my rule of thumb.
 
I'd be interested in taking over editorship of "Winona Ryder Goes To Jail" by MadtownGurl if it meets your guidelines.

OK, then how about a few that haven't been touched in a year or 2? Took your "rule of thumb", & headed to the other end of the recent-stories list. (Only the last 15 pages or so.)

Would you mind if I took hold of:

Shady’s Choose Your Own Adventure
Rookie

?

I have stories that haven't been touched in over a year.

Tell you what. I'll send an email to the editor. If I don't hear back in a month, you can have stories that have been fallow for over a year.

Rethought things, & never mind.

It's just b/c it's bugging me that I have so many open threads nobody's adding to (& I find myself unable to), & 1 or 2 I can add to that don't currently give me the option to do so.
 
Imo...

I think your standard rule of thumb is most appropriate. If a story hasn't been touched in a year, well, it's still up to date. The assumption should be the editor is on top of it.

I think editorship/ownership should only be changing where it can be demonstrated that 1) the job isn't being properly discharged and 2) there has been some disadvantage as a result. To wit: a thread left unapproved for too long.

Trust your instincts, Torg.

*Yoda voice*

Yes, use the force, you must.

*voice of that guy from Mystery Men*

Indeed, only when you know a thread should be unleashed, can the unleashed thread be known...........

err........

fuck, I'm going back to lurking. :p
 
A few days ago, I inquired as to whether I could take over editorship of "Winona Ryder Goes To Jail" by MadtownGurl. Is this possible, or has there been recent activity?

No recent activity, but no indication that the editor is gone either. I've emailed the editor. If I don't hear back from them by the end of January, I'll transfer it.
 
Hey Torg, I took over "blow for daddy" by solmn. Just wanted to let you know so you can take it off the list. :)
