Adopt-a-story program

Internet Love Affair?

What's up with that story? I've had a thread waiting approval for almost a year? Is katieBgood still around? If she doesn't want it, or it is up for adoption, I'll take it!
 
I'm happy to take on some more but I'll have to get back to you about which stories, as at the moment I have a DJ set for Sunday to plan out, which initially could be an hour and a half but could end up being a lot longer.

"please sir, I want some more!"

Namely:

Warriors in Heat
Getting a job
A Day Out
Initiations

I'll take on these stories.


Big Black Rod meets Little White Hole!
Internet Rendezvous
A Ghostly Encounter
Residence Evil
Joshua's Special Fan
Randy Neighbours
 
There is another seemingly abandoned story not on the latest adoption list: Island Sex Amazons in the Interracial section.

I think the story has a fun premise and I felt like writing a thread for it, but there are at least three threads already "awaiting approval" (and if I remember right, those threads have been like that for quite some time now).

I'm not offering to take over the editor's role myself since I've not been on CHYOO often enough, but hopefully there is somebody interested in adopting it so people like me could submit threads once in a while.

I gave you all of them, except Residence Evil, which doesn't appear to have been abandoned. It has been updated as recently as last January.

I took it over. I'll get to approving stuff soon.
 
I may as well take the latest Gay Male story up for adoption, as I can't see anyone else doing so.

Done. Enjoy!
 
I've been running a check on stories I've posted to and checked whether the authors were still active or not and, unless they have changed User IDs, it appears that the following have been abandonded:

The Accident by Retroguy
Truth or Dare by trev999
Katie & Beth by sk27609 (I've had an unapproved post on this one since 3/6/04)
New Starlets by maztacular

Also, the following stories have me listed as the owner/editor as zigurat (little z):

Waking Up
End of an Era, Advancement of the Age

If you could change it so that I have it with a big Z that would be great.

I've given you Katie & Beth, but the other ones don't have unapproved threads. Now, I did notice many of your threads on those stories are 'zigurat'.

Done.

Unless someone else wants it I'll happily take over Truth Or Dare.
There is no evidence that this story is abandoned. The last update was in Dec of 2005, and there are no unapproved threads.
 
Adoption.

I'd like to adopt Showing Her The Ropes. I've had a thread waiting in that one for over a year.

Also, I've had "Approval Pending" for over a year on my threads in these stories:

Total Slut http://www.chyoo.com:81/index.php/main.story.summary/84
A Day in the City http://www.chyoo.com:81/index.php/main.story.summary/1163
Silk Scarves http://www.chyoo.com:81/index.php/main.story.summary/886

Now that I think of it, I'd also be interested in adopting Total Slut and Silk Scarves.

Done. The rest will have to wait until I can deal with them. Thanks for the info.

I think we need an updated list of open-for-taking stories.
It's coming today. Patience, Grasshopper.

In preparation for this, if anyone has stories that they have threads in that haven't been approved for at least 3 months, or that they otherwise think are abandoned, let me know.

Thanks.
 
Book of Magic has a thread that has remained Locked for a very long time, so I guess it's safe to say it's been abandoned.

I'll be happy to take over Book of Magic although I will be able to only approve new threads (if any). I probably won't be able to add to it for a while since I have real life stuff to take care of right now.


I'm curious about something: how many people have actually changed the guidelines for the stories they have taken over? Do people always leave the original guidelines?

I told brevdravis awhile ago that I'd take over his stories, since he had to leave chyoo. This one slipped through the cracks. I've got it now, and I've approved that thread. Nice thread!

I've often changed the guidelines, including completely rewriting them. If the owner ever reclaims a story, they can change them back.

Unfortunately, I won't be coming by chyoo very often for the next little while, so I'd like to put my stories up for adoption so that they can keep growing and developing. In the case of my developed stories--Big Man on Campus, White Slavery on the Dark Continent--I'd hope a contributor could take over. I've asked new contributor Vanadiel to consider taking on WSotDC. Otherwise, whoever would like them can have them.

Thanks, it's been a hoot, hope to swing by once in awhile.
