 Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2005 10:25 pm Post subject: Storychat |
 |
|
A couple of months ago, I tried to get a regular storychat going every week, but we didn't have enough interest. I still would like to do storychat regularly, and it's been suggested that maybe we should try to do one once a month instead of every week. Post here if you'd be interested in doing a storychat for two hours once a month, probably at the same time we used to do them (Sunday at 10:00 AM Pacific, 1:00 PM Eastern, 6:00 PM British).
If we get enough interest we'll schedule a regular time, such as the first Sunday of the month.
In case you don't know what storychat is, you can read a description or view archives of the previous storychats.

I'd like to have regular storychat, weekly or monthly. They always turn out fun.

I always enjoy the storychats - if I don't forget there's one happening.

OK, cool, looks like there's a lot of interest. I'm thinking that we could do the first Sunday of every month, but maybe we do the first one on January 8th, since the first Sunday next month is New Year's Day.
I don't know the Indian time, Muaddib, but it's sometime late at night. If this works and there's others who want to join but can't make that time, we can shoot for another time that's better for the people in Australia or Asia.

Aye, it would be about midnight Indian time. It's early hours of the morning in China, so I probably would miss these, much to everyone's relief I am sure!

I miss storychat. i still come on at storychat time.
Why dont we do it twice a month? Once at normal times and then once again at a time that suits everyone else who cant make it. Then everyone gets a chance to storychat. Maybe not the same story but all storys around here are brilliant, so it would be fair.

I won't be able to do a storychat tomorrow as I'd hoped, but I should be able to do one next Sunday, and then we can do them regularly one per month.

That's too bad, I was looking forward to that.
What is storychat like? How does it work?

No, no, you guys should always feel free to storychat whenever you want, you don't have to ask my permission. I just didn't want to schedule one and then not show up myself.
To be the author in the storychat area, you have to know the password. I don't like to post it publicly, but jnmrcs and a few others have it, so if you're interested in telling one, you can get it from them or you can PM me and ask for it.

Where is the storychat area? I can't find it anywhere.
And as far as storychat... how many people are still interested?

| Thanks to everyone who came on this Sunday, we told a couple of fun storychats, which you can read in the archives. The next storychat is at the same time on the first Sunday of next month (February 5th).

How are the storychats saved? We had a storychat the other day and I'd like to see it again.
Or is it gone? If I was supposed to save it, I didn't know how. I was the host (I got the password from Smee) and I enjoyed it. I would like to keep it, but if it's gone, I guess that's it.
How about it Key? Can you access old storychats?

Hey Lebrenth,
Congrats on your first storychat! I like it.
The story and votes are automatically saved (click on "Recent history" in the storychat window to see it), and then from time to time I manually move them into the archives. The discussion is not saved automatically; if you want to save that, you have to click "history" in the main chat window and then cut and paste whatever you want to keep. It's probably too late for that for the one you just ran, as it only keeps the last 500 lines or so, but in the future, if you want to save that, just copy and paste it into a text file (and send to me if you want me to put it in the archives).

Thanks Key! I'm relieved! Too bad about the messages though. I'll have to remember to copy those if I do another. Those storychats are fun. I hope I'll be able to join the next one... but probably not.
And thanks for IF. I love this place.

Just a reminder that we'll be doing storychat tomorrow (Sunday) at 10AM Pacific time, 1PM Eastern, 6PM British.
I'll do the authoring if there are no other volunteers, but I'd love to have someone else run the storychat this month.
Hope to see you there!

Ah, sorry I missed it. The storychat was at 3 AM my time, and I fell asleep. (I live in South Korea.)
So, that would mean Kalanna Rai is one time zone east of Hawaii, right? Either Alaska, or the pacific islands off the US coast.

Yes, it is rather late in China too, though I could possibly join in sometime if I remembered!
SK eh? Not that far away from me!

Ah, but now he knows that your near, he can send out his drones to find you wherever you go. I'm sorry Dean, but you will never be safe again!

| Haha, that's OK. I'm safe. North Korea's kind of blocking his path. (Unless he has a boat. Hmmm.... You don't have a boat, do you CR? LOL!)

We have a lot of brits on this forum, so I think it makes sense to have it after afternoon tea and before supper.

Well I'm hoping to finish mine with this third installment, but I'll only do it this weekend if no one else wants to.

Soily, you can finish your SC this Sunday, then I shall do mine whenever the next one can be.
Gives me time to plan some more stuff out anyway.

Coming to an IF chatroom near you...
On Sunday 5th March at 6pm GMT...
For a one-time visit only...
SMEE'S SIZZLING SORCERY SUPPLY STATION
Make sure you're down there to pick up the best bargains on the highest quality potions and spells. We've got everything to make YOUR life better.
Need something to grow back new teeth after eating some Chinaren INC Candyfloss*?
Maybe your back needs straightening after a few of Kalanna's Dragon 'massages'?
Whatever your ailment or desire we can find a potion to help you.
-~-
"Crymzon where are you?" Smee demanded impatiently from atop of the wagon.
Almost immediately a rather large gnome appeared from the back. His face was creased and care-worn from the perpetual look of worry and terror that had setup home there.
"Y-es Master?"
We're almost there, is everything ready? This could be my one chance to take a portion of Chinaren INC's revenues. Not even he has managed to get a shop into the Chatroom yet.
Crymzon frowned. He still had four cases of labeling to do. Thankfully worry invited frown in for tea and creme-cakes so Smee didn't notice.
"Y-es Master, all is ready."
Smee turned back to the track and watched the border approach. As they crossed the stream into the supernatural mist of IF, Crymzon disappeared back into the depths of the wagon.
With horror Crymzon realised he'd miscounted and there was infact eight cases left to do. With a sigh so deep it caused an earthquake in AHA** he picked up the large pile of labels. Opening the first box - all meticulously numbered and arranged by Smee - he pulled out the first bottle. A large number one was pasted on the bottom of a dark blue bottle. Crymzon glanced across the contents of the box. Every bottle looked the same but with different numbers. He reached out for the labels and then watched silently as horror came out of his house and stared at the potion decending rapidly to the floor.
It'd slipped out his grasp but like with all such accidents it isn't the fall that gets you in trouble; but the hard impact with the ground that comes at the end.
Luck came out from behind a bookcase and grinned slightly. The bottle arrived at the hard impact but just rolled under the table. Crymzon couldn't believe it and joyfully bent down to retrieve it. Being a large gnome has it's problems. The gnome brain is firmly convinced by the fact that it is a gnome and therefore of fairly short stature. Crymzon's problem was that he wasn't short at all. Triumphantly grabbing the escaped potion he brought his head up under the table with a crash. The table tettered for a moment awaiting some decision. Luck had gone to read it's 'Visit Muaddib District for the time of your life' brochure, so it was left to horror and worry to decide. Almost immediately they did.
All eight boxes flew spectacularly to the floor with a crash that echoed around the narrow confines. Crymzon's mind flew briefly back to the start of his apprenticeship. This was not what dreams where made of, this was a horror beyond the cruelest nightmare!
Dark blue bottles lay everywhere with little pieces of paper littered amongst them.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING BACK THERE!"
Smee's voice was verging on bat-like frequencies. Unfortunately gnomes can still hear them and he winced as worry went into a frenzy. He poked his head through the curtain seperating him from the driving seat Smee was sat in.
"Nothing Master, just tidying a few things up."
Smee, distracted by thoughts of massive amounts of the valuable 'fatbacks' awaiting him in IF, just smiled. Crymzon was shocked, but decided it must have been his sad eyes pleaded their case eloquently enough for once. He took advantage immediately and ducked back behind the curtain.
An after-shock like sigh possessed him again and he set to work. It should be easy enough to clear up, everything was numbered. Smee would never know.
He picked up a bottle. A label was stuck to it, somehow perfectly aligned in the middle as it should. He looked at the tiny number in the bottom corner - 28. He looked at the bottom of the bottle. 14 ! Worry set off an alarm and he tried to remove the lable. It was fastened good. This was a new phenomena, Smee hadn't told him about any new labelling magic?
He frantically picked up other bottles. Every one had a perfectly aligned label well and truly stuck to the front. This couldn't have happened by them falling surely? He started reading. 11 and 22, 31 and 37, 4 and 62.
A noise outside alerted him from his panic. Voices! They had arrived. With a haste powered by worry*** Crymzon hastily shoved every bottle back into the boxes, set the table straight and arranged the boxes as they had been. What was he going to do?
Outside Smee's voice raised to the masses gathered...
"STEP RIGHT UP, STEP RIGHT UP. IN A FEW MOMENTS SMEE'S SIZZLING SORCERY SUPPLY STATION WILL OPEN UP FOR YOU ALL TO SEE. PLEASE FORM AN ORDERLY LINE, CUSTOMERS WILL BE SERVED ONE AT A TIME."
* Made from refined Idearium Sugarcane - 2000 times sweeter than sugar
** See IFnews tonight for more details - over 2 bruised knees and a rather viscious papercut so far reported
*** On a treadmill
=========================================
OK Storychat fans we have a chance here for you all to get involved before the main event.
Also, it allows everyone who won't be able to make it to shape the story in this crucial way.
You'll have noticed that my apprentice is named X throughout the introduction.
You have until I go to sleep this evening to come up with your nominations as to who will be my apprentice.
A poll will then go up and you'll have until 5:30pm GMT tomorrow to vote.
Happy Reading
WANT TO BE A CUSTOMER?
WANT TO NOMINATE SOMEONE TO BE A CUSTOMER?
Head over NOW to the Market place to bid.
Time is short so get moving.

I can see this one being a riot!
OK... it's the 'Name that Gnome' competition. I name that gnome in seven, Bob
I was going to pick Ingro, but I think he's spent enough time being a gnome in Chinaren's stories, so...
Crymzon. He seems like the type to make merry with a disaster like this (he could also be the type to let a disaster like this happen in the first place, but who am I to judge?)
Count me in, I'll be there tomorrow

LOL!!!! 
I f5 Stoaty, I think Crymzon fits the bill perfectly in the Name that X Gnome compo! Actually, I though X was the name of the Gnome.
Shame I can't make the SC. I will read the history though, and I will be there in spirit, if nothing else.
Maybe I should start a merchants guild.

Swing by the shop to vote, and maybe stick in a bid whilst you're at it.
Happy Voting

Just 20 minutes or so left before the poll and auction is closed.
Any last minute entries get in now...
AND IT'S OVER...
Crymzon is the lucky person who gets to be a Gnome.
*runs off to replace X*

Thanks to everyone who came to the storychat on Sunday. Unfortunately, due to technical problems, the storygame had to be aborted partway through - the chat room crashed.
Smee has graciously volunteered to finish the storygame this coming Sunday, March 12th, at the same time. Hope to see you all there. The first part is in the Storychat Archives for your reading pleasure.
I'm not sure why the chat room crashed. I've done some work on the chat room software that will reduce the load on the web server and hopefully prevent this from happening again, but I can't guarantee that this is fixed.
If the chat room does crash again at any time, please let me know. I will continue working on the problem until we get it fixed.
Thanks,
MK

You can also catch up with what's happened so far here
Help us decide what happens to our Mayor after drinking a mis-labelled potion.
A poll will be going up on Friday, so get your ideas in - can we beat Chamber Pot
At the same time - I'm still taking bids for other customers that might come to the Supply Store.
Hope to see you there.

I plan on running this storychat on 23rd April, if anyone's interested. If not, I'll leave it to another week/month/year/century...
==============
It’s Alive!
It was midnight in IF.* The moon was full** and the stars were dotted multitudinously, like salt specks thrown by the great gritter in the sky. Most of the citizens were safely locked away in their beds – in some cases, complete with restraints. Each and every one of them was oblivious to the mischief that was stirring while they slept.
The Crazed Council met in one of the abandoned factories of Jester Park. They looked at each other gloomily.
“No lightning,” sighed Smee. “Again.”
Stoat sat down heavily, then leapt up as daggers of crusted mud sliced through her fur and into her butt-flesh. “Soily!”
“Sorry.” Solomon grinned apologetically. “It’s just, with the weather being so dry lately, the mud’s flaking off me in clumps!”
Fauna fluttered over to him, head cocked thoughtfully. “Maybe you should try a good moisturizer. I think I have one back at…”
“Uhh… everyone?” Smee’s voice cut through the growing babble. “What are we going to do about… the creature?”
“Well, if there’s no lightning…” began Soily, but Stoat cut him off, irritably.
“There hasn’t been any lightning for months now. Every week it’s the same old story. We started this up to become authentic mad scientists. Now we’re in danger of turning into a Beauty-Tips Social Club.” She stared pointedly at Smee. “I don’t see why we can’t just use magic, like everyone else does.”
“Lightning is more traditional,” argued the Wizard. Then, seeing the glowering of the group around him, he shrugged. “But seeing as we haven’t got a convenient storm out tonight, I guess we’ll just have to forget that and go straight for the sorcery.”
“About time, too,” muttered Fauna. “The subject’s probably beginning to grow mould!”
“Nothing wrong with mould,” said Soily, cheerfully. “I get it all the ti… I mean… umm… should we just get on with it then?”
“Oooh, yes, let’s!” There was an avaricious glint in Fauna’s eye as she hovered closer to the entombed package. “It’s about time we got to see what all our preparations have spawned.”
“Indeed,” murmured Smee.
The four crazed councillors gathered around the package. Nobody knew quite what to expect as Smee began his incantations. Over many months, certain highly prized items had been purloined from prominent IFian citizens. The mayoral trousers had disappeared from his washing line one day. Lordy’s teddy-bear had joined the unholy creation and Muaddib’s communist leaflets had joined the ranks of the pilfered (but only for the common good, I’m sure!). Chinaren’s factories were also short half a dozen WheelieDibs and there was an empty crate in the corner of the room, that looked suspiciously like one of the lost soul crates from the Idearium Mines.
The group themselves had made sacrifices too. Soily had almost had to endure cleanliness, as his mud was added to the cauldron of life. Fauna had been forced to throw many of her best flowers in there. Smee’s collection of slug slime was badly depleted and Stoat was still pouting about her magenta hat being down by almost a pound of wax fruit!
From such beginnings is life created…
As the weeks had gone by, the primordial soup had been poured into a vaguely human-shaped casing of finest Idearium. There was no telling what might be inside it by now – but they were about to find out.
“It is time,” announced Smee. “Complete the circle.”
Nervously, the four of them stood, surrounding the Idearium coffin.
“Now,” he continued. “The sacred dance.”
Soily, Fauna and Stoat looked at each other doubtfully, before breaking into the Chicken Dance. It was probably just Smee’s way of getting his kicks, but you never could tell with Mages. Never meddle in their affairs, it was said, because you don’t look good char-grilled.
Smee carved complicated runes in the air, where they glowed with a mystical light. His face shone with sweat as he leaned down and rapped the Idearium box.
Rap! Rap! Rap!
For a moment, there was no reaction. Then, before they could so much as blink, the four crazed ones were thrown back, one against each wall. As they slid down to the floor, they could only shield their eyes against the brightness of the exploding Idearium. Parts of the coffin landed all around them, shattering in deadly shards which, thanks to blind luck (not to mention narrative causality) all missed skewering the crew.
A silhouette rose from its coffin. The four mad scientists blinked their watering eyes and squinted through the glare. As it stepped from the haze, they gaped. Whatever they had expected, it wasn’t this!
A six foot insectoid, with bulging black eyes and a green carapace. It had long, spindly legs, and it kept rubbing the back two together, making an irritatingly high-pitched whine.
“What is it?” whispered Soily, nervously.
“Oh no,” said Fauna. “I think it’s a…”
“It’s a cricket!” interrupted the Stoat, picking herself up and padding forward, curiously.
“Stoat! Don’t!” yelled Smee, but it was too late. The insect advanced on the unwary ermine.
It hissed, then spoke in a creaky, dry voice.
“Call yourself a writer? I’ve never seen such inane drivel in all my life! What slop! I mean, what sort of author picks parody as their genre? The sort with no imagination, that’s what! And don’t even get me started on the plot-holes in that game-show rip off of yours. It’s hanging together by a thread, and you know it. Spelling, punctuation, grammar – they’re all awful. I’m only telling you this for your own good, because those people you call readers are too cowardly to come forward with the truth. They’d let you carry on making a fool of yourself forever, but not me. Oh no, I tell it like it is – and what it is, is absolute dung of the first degree. How you can miss those sorts of glaring inadequacies is beyond me, when authors are supposed to be observant. You really are a hopeless…”
The stoat by now was a quivering puddle on the ground. She moaned and writhed under the pressure of the acidic little voice. It cut through her weak protests, continuing unmercifully.
Smee had been watching, mouth agape. Now, he collected himself and, putting his hands over his ears, charged straight for the creature.
“Drive it out!” he shrieked to the two team-mates who were still upright. “It’s not a cricket, it’s a critic! Don’t listen to a word it says.”
He barrelled into the critic, which hissed and whined and backed unwillingly from its prey. The others joined, blocking their ears from the poison that it spewed forth.
As it saw that it was outnumbered, it turned and, with a dramatic spring, dived out of the window. It was quickly swallowed by the night.
* Well, not precisely. It was closer to 1a.m., but midnight sounds so much cooler, doesn’t it?
** Well, three-quarters full, but see above
EDIT: Since the 16th was Easter Sunday, I've changed the schedule to the week after.

| The crazed council and the city council are two different membership groups. I'm sure the other most prominent citizens of IF will appear in the storychat - although some of them may wish they hadn't after the fact

When have I ever made you into something cute, Lordy?
Although, now that you mention it... no pink, right? How about pale peach?

Ooh. Sounds interesting, Shady. Though I doubt I can do it on the 23rd. Tech Rehearal, AKA Hell Week starts that Sunday, so I doubt I will be near a computer for some number of hours.

First Sunday of the Month tomorrow - so Official Storychat time.
Stoat could be doing one, or if not, it's open to volunteers or maybe our King will step in.
6pm GMT
7pm (GMT summertime)
Hope to see lots of people there.

Sunday 11th June will be the next Official Storychat.
It'll be at 6pm BST (GMT+1) - visit here to work out the local time where you are.
A mayoral birdie has informed me that Lord of the plush..erm, Night may have a little something planned to delight us all.
However, if that date isn't convenient for him, then it's open for volunteers to step in.
I hope many of you can make it.

The 11th is still four days away. The one you missed, was nothing more than something I threw together completely spur of the moment, simply to the all the people who thought it was last week entertained.

Hmm. I know I ought to be writing some stories *looks hopelessly at his signature* but I've got a very good idea for a storychat brewing in my mines. I'll go off and prod Key, see if he likes the idea.
If so, then I'll go ahead and post it here. Muwahaha.

Good luck with it, and I'll read it when I get back.

I'm sorry people. but I'm not going to be able to do it either. I'm really not in a good mood to write anything, due to circumstances, and anything I did would be sh!t, so I'm just not going to put you through it.
If someone else wants to write something, I may still turn up, I don't know.

Oh well - it looks like this week has fallen apart - I have nothing to write myself, but I'll pop down and see if anyone is around at the time.

Right, I've promised to Key to show up for the 18th and do a SC then.
Imagine the City...ASSIMILATED!!!
Here's the prelude:
Smee sat back, reclining in his Mayoral seat of power. Things had been going well in the city as of late. Mauddib and Chinaren had come to a sort of cease-fire for the moment, the new storygame wall had been patched up from Kallana running into it, and the Idearium mines had never produced so much.
It was the start of a disastrous day.
Fauna barrelled into the office, wings flapping furiously, looking for all the world like she'd just outrun a horde of spam-bots.
"Fauna! What is it?"
She alighted (Although skidded and knocked several Redbull cans off would be more appropriate) on his desk. "Smee! You've got to come quick! It's...horrible!"
And so, Smee was dragged bodily out of his office by a crazed fairy to witness a spectacle that could only destroy the city. Granted, it didn't look like much at first.
"It doesn't look like much, people are running and screaming from Skiffyville, that's a normal reaction to some of those stories."
Fauna glared at him. "I'll just take you for a closer look then, shall I?"
Before he could protest, Smee was once again dragged bodily towards a horrendus scene.
People with grey-green skin, tight leatherish clothing, metallic body plates, and robotic limbs were the cause of the screaming. They continually said one phrase over and over.
"I am Thalaf of Borg. Lower your shields and surrender. Your biological and technological distinciveness will be added to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile. You will be assimliated."
Smee's first response was shock at how this horror could be unleashed upon the city. Then he came out of his stupor as a Borg drone was attempting to assimilate him. Quickly darting back, he inscribed the rune for a fireball (Although he really needed to do the dance) and watched it slam into the drone, sending it back into a warehouse. Fauna was hovering above another drone, so Smee let fly with a lightning bolt, shorting out it's circuts and sending it to the floor as a pile of goo.
"Fauna! We have to fall back!"
"Where to?"

If you can, do it at the time Key posted at the start of this thread. That way lots of people can get on and it's good for me cause my mum won't let me on any screens before 5pm.

I'm terrible at writing. I can if I have a specific topic to work with, but I'm no good at putting a dp in.

| They do, although there's unfortunately no regular time for them anymore. You can see the latest by going into the chat room and clicking on Archives or Recent History.

Most of the time they happen when there are a lot of people on, and at least one person has the pass.

So you can save them?
It's sad to see SC dying. it's always been great fun. Next time I go on chat and there are people, remind me to do a SC. I've got a funny one prepared in the drawer here, but I'm usually too tired, don't have time or I forget But Next time I will. Remind me if you're on.

missed the boat on this month. how about we shoot for one in April 6th 2008 @ 6am GMT.
I'm setting my iCal, iPhone, and iPDA for this time.
Maybe we can get a tentative roll call for who will be there and a veteran author to show the ropes, or just get some archived links up so n00bs can give it a go.

Thanks to everyone who came, it was a larger turn out than i expected. We were up to 8 peeps and it rapidly dropped down to 4-5 as i started writing. I feel awesome!
I, the host, did a moderate to mediocre job authoring but it turned out well. Let's set up a date for next month or 19th/20th for this month again. Who wants to be the author?!
Calling all with mad typing skills and an imagination that floats for next month's StoryChat or a second one for this month.
Maybe two times for peoples schedules.
I'll set dates and times if anyones interested in doing a StoryChat again this month or next.
Sincerely,
SirWaxaLot

Well, it seems that there hasn't been a story chat in a while, or at least there hasn't been any comment on this thread for a while, I might be interested in hosting one of these, but I would certainly need someone to show me the ropes first. As much as I don't like to admit to my ignorance, I really don't even have a clear idea of how a story chat is structured, or what the desired outcome would be.

Wow, almost 2 years after the last post! I remember enjoying storychat as well, although it used to break from time to time. Does The Inn still support storychat?
Just checked, yes it does and the password is already filled in too.
Apparently you just need to get a group together. I should warn you that it still takes a long time to do, so even though it's fun to come up with on the spot,it might be a little faster if you do a little prep work first. Post an announcement to see if you can get some people together! I'll be interested!

Wow. This definitely seems like an awesome idea. I would also enjoy partaking in a Story Chat.
