Adopt-a-story program

[Torg]

I've been getting the urge to add some threads lately, & first looked at stries I'd already been writing for.

Will let the problem slide of not being able to find the newest ("red dot") threads in the story maps... But I've had ideas off-&-on for a story I did some major work on, & can't seem to add to my own threads.

I'm not sure what the problem is, unless you're logging in as 'tjchurch' without the capital letters.

I've been writing a lot of Animorph Petshop lately, but I've had threads pending approval for over a month. Anything doable about that?

It's been three weeks. If it goes a month, I'll send the author an email.

 

[luffy316]

ah yes. meant in the past, though my grasp of time isn't the best anyway. similar goings-on in the Erotic Wrestling League

really, really hate nagging, but there's just stuff i'd like to expand on in that story and i like to think others would to. and it's been another three weeks, so was wondering if the writer's been emailed or if it can somehow otherwise be approved

Go to town. I sent out the email when you asked last. No response, so the story is yours. If the owner comes back, you'll have to relinquish back to them.

Hate 2 repeat myself, but...

What are you listed as 'Writer', 'Trusted', or 'Sub-Editor'?

And try it now. What exactly happens? No "Add Thread" button?

[Torg]

I see only "Prev" & "Start Over"... Listed as "Trusted".

Try it now. I made you editor for now.

I tried contacting Jag for Population Crisis, but that didn't seem to work. Could you send out one to him, he may contact you back quicker.

A Wishbone Tale still has old, unapproved threads. I'm still offering to take it over.

It's done.

 

[GoodBoy741]

Cool, thanks.

can't remember the last time somebody approved Erotic Wrestling League. it doesn't say much, given my memory span, but still, think it's been a long time

It's now yours. Enjoy.

I'm betting there's a lot of stories like this.

Given that, the old date on the CHYOO main page itself (last I checked), & issues I & others have been having, maybe it's time for a list &/or other sort of update.

I don't have time to go through stories and find those that are abandoned. If anyone wants to look for those stories with unapproved threads older than 2 months or so, I and everyone else would appreciate it.

I really wish the PTB would update the software, but I've been wanting that for like 5 years.

I personally would like to dump all the stories into an archive for safekeeping.

Would like to put up the followings for adoption

Alien Abduction

Chyoo Laboratories

Penetrator - Rise of the Machines

As I can sadly no longer edit them (time constraints). Hope they find a good home! Can one of the moderators put them up for adoption? Thanks!

Hi Torg,
can I please adopt Chyoo Laboratories? It's a small story, but I think I can do good things with it- and there's a pending thread.

Cheers.

PS. My user name at CHYOO is LordXorph.

What do we do if the owner of a story is active, but isn't approving threads?

Hmmm, a kick in the pants from a moderator, perhaps? Private message me with the culprit.
