Sad Days These Are...

Hello all,
it has been quite some time since I had anytime/motivation to sit down and enjoy Chyoo. I have slowly been catching up on the forum. I just finished reading this thread and it is a sad time. I see a lot of these stories up for adoption, meaning their original author is gone. I know a lot of these titles, as I have contributed threads to a good deal of them. On another note, it is good to see new writers taking over these stories. I wish everybody the best and hope things continue to move forward.

I think it's a positive that editors are stepping forward to edit these abandoned stories. Some of the stories are rather good, or at least have promising starts, and to see continued development on them is a good thing.

On that note, if anyone finds a story that they think is abandoned, let me or one of the other moderators know, and we'll look into it and see if they are indeed abandoned. If they are, then we can let you adopt it. But that task of sorting through 2000 stories looking for those without editors is daunting and four of us are going to have a hard time doing it. So, everyone, be our eyes and ears in this regard.

Thanks.
 
Do a search for last modified stories in ascending order and you will find stories that haven't been updated for two years.

You can put them up for adoption or delete those with only 1 thread.

Here's the link to stories that have had the longest time since update.

That is how I found the new ones on the list. I eliminated from the Adoptable list those stories with too few threads (< 4 levels deep) and no pending threads. Those four stories were found in about sixty investigated.

If we want to start adopting stories with few threads and/or no pending threads, let me know and I'll change my methods.
 
When and if permitted I'd like to take over editorship of "Winona Ryder Goes To Jail by MadtownGurl"

Oh and by the way, I am now the owner of a new pc. - I.
 
I'm pretty sure all three of mine will be in the not updated for a year category, which is the way one of them will be staying.

Still I'm now unemployed, Hurrah! Although why I'm getting worked up over that might seem odd. Anyway as I actually have time to write now, I will be starting on new works for Chyoo very soon. I'd be happy to take over School is Cool.

I would just like to get my own stories back- and I've mentioned this before on another thread.

Which stories were yours? I can fix it if no one else has yet.

Unfortunately, they are orgasmosexicon, and they no longer have the password for their user id, so I suggested getting a new user id, and that I'd transfer everything over to it.

I've created a new user ID on Chyoo similar to the old one that I originally posted the stories under


0rgasmosexicon

(that "0" is a zero, not an "oh")


I used the name because it's indeterminate of gender, just in case I ever wrote a male POV story. I still haven't. :rolleyes: ...but maybe one day I will.

If you need to check the writing style to see if it was my work (about the only way I can show it), here are links to two of my other stories;

Eroticon Virus
Experimental Interface
 
I changed the three stories to 0rgasmosexicon with the zero. That looks like what you wanted to have happen.

You made a comment related to the quality of your writing and I think it is important to state the the only reason that anyone would every take over editor duties for a story is because the story appeared abandoned. the quality of the writing does not play into it.

Have fun.
 
Okay, I don't know about chyoo3 or anything, but the three below are my stories. For some reason "The Party" says something about correcting spelling and grammar for approval, but I was the editor on it so I'm not sure how/why that would happen. Also, when I look at the writers' lists it doesn't show my username Junglecatgigi as a writer. Soooo... anyway, ya - I've been away, but I still want my stories.

"The Party"
http://www.chyoo.com:81/index.php/main.story.cover/3198.

"A Midsummer Afternoon's Dream" http://www.chyoo.com:81/index.php/main.story.cover/524

On this last one, for awhile, there were two stories that were the same except one said I was writer and the other said editor - the one where I was the editor is gone, now it just says I'm a writer, but I originated this story too.

"Having the Waiter with a Glass of Wine" http://www.chyoo.com:81/index.php/main.story.cover/740

The last two were still approved with you as Editor. Have you tried loggin in with your user name Capitalized? That's how it is owned on here.

The "denied, but resubmit" was done when we looked through a huge backlog of old submissions. In order to not have hundreds of one thread stories that had been abandoned by their authors, some moderators used the "spelling and grammar fixed then resubmit" thing. Since you are here and the story is fine, I've approved it.

Okay - that works, but "The Party" that you've approved still shows me as a writer, not editor, and that was one I started. Can that be fixed?
 
Is it possible to edit the first post and put the list of stories up for adoption there? This way people won't need to read the last few posts to see the current list and if the story they want has been taken by someone.
 
I was thinking, if you want, I'll adopt a chunk of stories, even though I dont have time much lately to write new threads ( as i take time doing that ) I check my email nearly every 24 hours so I could at least keep a heap of stories flowing as threads would be approved usually within a day, thus encouraging growth and I'll fix grammer ( this post is grammer crappy I know! ) etc, any genre, hopefully it could get a few more potentially good stories a chance to become good stories...? like I said, I probably wouldnt be adding much to them, but I would be keeping them up to date and "approval time" friendly! :D
 
I'm happy enough to take on more stories. Although the last I said I'd taken on nothing has happened about. I'll list some other stories in a bit, as I need to do something about my lack of job at the moment.

Fixed. It now matches your other stories: JungleCatGigi, instead of junglecatgigi.
