Entry: Chain Stories - A Game - A756614
Author: Catwoman - U166251

I wasn't getting a lot of useful stuff in WW (sorry guys) so I'm here, cos at least I'm guaranteed a response. I hope.

Obviously not.

This I like I don't know why you've not got any response so far.

It's a good entry - I can't think of much that could be added, perhaps an example of some kind? Or a few words about what people get out of it?

Would I not get told off for including fiction, even as an example?
It'd have to be short one, of course.
I'll have a look (after exams) for something that would fit.

I think fiction as an example wouldn't hurt anyone because the entry itself deals with reality

*Ponder difficulties of finding an example*

Maybe a part of a story, to make it not take up too much space.

There's been an example recently in "Ask the H2G2 Community" on in the style of a surreal noir detective - I can't find it at the moment, but if you can't either, I'll have another go.

Another option would be to start one in the discussion section at the bottom of the entry, so that people can play "live". This would be a bit unorthodox, but perhaps you and the assigned sub-ed (when this is recommended) plus perhaps one or two others could start a game at the bottom of the edited entry before it reaches the front page to serve as an example. What does everyone think?

It's a good idea, not quite sure how it would go, I don't think I'm allowed to link to conversations but I could add in bits maybe.

Italic Blockquotes is the traditional way to quote such things. Of course, you'd have to do extracts

Okay, will do.
Later.
When I get around to it.
Sometime.

So what are the set topics for 'consequences', anyway? Never heard of that one...

Not really set topics, just a structure. See A758496 or possibly A792236 (which is not finished but destined for agggag).

This entry continues to be well-written and interesting, and it'll make a fine addition to the Edited Guide... just as soon as somebody picks it!
I'm going to start a chain story on the entry and see if I get any responses...

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Uh-oh, hope it's okay.
Wonder who reccommended it...

I don't know either, but anyway:

Hi Catwoman

I'm just subbing your Entry - if you want to take a look before I send it back to the Editors it's at A821710

Great, lovely, nothing there that I have a problem with.

(wow, something in edited guide!)

Glad you approve! I've sent it back, so it should be on the front page fairly soon.
