In this thread, one story ends after approximately thirty posts, but let’s play it by ear and not end it prematurely if a few extra posts would make for a better ending. I’m trusting everyone here has a sense of when it’s best to let a story be. Once the story ends, the next poster can start the new one with either the exact ending sentence of the previous story OR some variation of the ending sentence that works better as a beginning than the exact wording. It goes without saying that the story needs to be family friendly, but that’s already a rule for the forums in general and I trust my fellow Berries to adhere to that anyway! Mentions of darker topics such as death and violence aren’t entirely prohibited but let’s not show anything graphic or disturbing. Again, I probably don’t need to say that. Oh, and these stories will likely become long enough to merit paragraph breaks, so let’s remember to put those where appropriate.
I’m not sure if this will take off or not but it’s worth a shot! Let me know if you think the guidelines could be altered to make it more fun.
I’ll post the beginning of the first story below to separate it from this.
