Chain Story - Bathtubs and Broomsticks

[StillStunned]

Yeah, I agree. Chainstories.

 

[Tio_Narratore]

I have my chapter ready for publication. I've ended it with Lucy and Mina on their flight, leaving it open for someone else to develop their role in Slovakia. If the group would prefer, I'll extend my chapter to get them on site. Let me know what you think.

 

[StillStunned]

With the disclaimer that I haven't read your latest version, I think that setting out on the journey is probably the best place to break the chapter. It signifies a break in time and place, and for the chapter to end after their arrival on site would probably require a cliffhanger or at least some surprise revelation.

 

[Tio_Narratore]

That was my idea, but I wasn't sure if anyone was going to take up where I left off. I would prefer that someone else did, since my chapter ends appropriately. If necessary, I'll write another chapter to follow yours, that is, if no one gets Mina and Lucy into the action.

My latest version is the one on Google Docs, but with the little details, like your "mu"s, eliminated or corrected.

 

[pink_silk_glove]

Something akin to ending the chapter getting on the plane and starting the next somewhere on the ground in Slovakia would be an obvious natural transition.

 

[AlinaX]

And we're off:
Lights, Camera, Blood, Prologue
Over to you...

 

[AlinaX]

Hmm, is he Adamir or Adimir?

 

[StillStunned]

Plot twist: there are two of them, twin brothers! One's a genius, the other's just insane.

Or something. I've used "Adamir" in my draft so far.

 

[AlinaX]

Not just you. I don't particularly mind which, so long as we all use the same.

 

[Erozetta]

Not just you. I don't particularly mind which, so long as we all use the same.

Adamir seems more intuitive to me.

 

[TheRedChamber]

On behalf of 'the other team'...

Well done. I enjoyed it .

 

[Tio_Narratore]

Chapter 1: Lucy's Job is submitted. In final editing, I found I had used both Adimir and Adamir. I set them all as Adamir to be consistent with Chapter 2.

 

[StillStunned]

I'll see about making some progress with Chapter 2.

 

[StillStunned]

Adamir is fun to write. Hehehe,

 

[Tio_Narratore]

And interesting to think: "Damir" in the Slavic languages means "one who gives peace." Nice name for a master of erotic horror.

 

[StillStunned]

I'm having fun writing Anna, too. Poor Mircalla...

 

[Tio_Narratore]

looking forward to reading it.

 

[AlinaX]

Ooh, the title changed.

On a separate note, and unconnected with the earlier Interlude with Anna, I've been writing what could be a good early chapter for this chain.

Which title? Didn't you already write and publish the prologue? Are you thinking of Chapter 1.5: Lucy and Mina settle in in Slovakia? I had offered to write that as a sequelae to Chapter 1, which ended with Lucy and Mina on their way.

Yesterday it was "Lights, Camera, Blood: Prologue" and today it's "Lights, Camera, Blood: Ch. 00 Prologue".

 

[Tio_Narratore]

Yesterday it was "Lights, Camera, Blood: Prologue" and today it's "Lights, Camera, Blood: Ch. 00 Prologue".

So I see. Chapter 00 seems like something that doesn't exist. At least make it Chapter 0.1. But if it's a chapter, then it's not a prologue.

 

[AlinaX]

No... not me, anyway.
Since I have no idea yet what's going to happen in Chapters 3 & 4, I don't really know what the mood will be going into Chapter 5.
But I got to thinking about a young couple, newlyweds, finding themselves lured into the mix, not unlike the plot of Daughters of Darkness.
Speaking of which, that list server really is taking its time to update.

 

[Tio_Narratore]

Perhaps we should retitle the Prologue as Chapter 1: Three Women. Mine would become Ch. 2: Lucy's Job. And so on.

 

[AlinaX]

I'm guessing Laurel saw your submission and decided to add the number to my title to make it explicitly a series. If you feel strongly enough about changing the titles, then you or StillStunned can add a note to the editor when submitting.

I don't have a problem with the 00 Prologue, though.

Okay. We'll leave it like that unless any of the other contributors would like to change it.
