Create a Family Story Together

The way this game works is that each poster will be responsible for adding another event to the story family’s life. If a poster wishes to make the game generational, they may say “Skip 10 years” or something along those lines. Here’s an example:

Poster 1: Lucy Elizabeth Browne met Collin Douglas Starr when he accidently took the wrong turn and ended up at her office. After five years of dating and two years of being married, they decided to adopt a baby girl. Her name is Anna Eleanor Starr, which satisfies both their liking for vintage names and their wish to honor Eleanor Roosevelt (her birth name was Anna Eleanor).

Poster 2: Lucy Elizabeth Browne met Collin Douglas Starr when he accidently took the wrong turn and ended up at her office. After five years of dating and two years of being married, they decided to adopt a baby girl. Her name is Anna Eleanor Starr, which satisfies both their liking for vintage names and their wish to honor Eleanor [name_m]Roosevelt[/name_m] (her birth name was Anna Eleanor).

When Anna is two, they decide to try and have a child. They are successful, and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] gives birth to b/g twins! They are named Sylvia Audrey Starr (after Sylvia Plath and Audrey Hepburn) and Andrew John Starr (after Andrew Carnegie and JohnRockefeller).

Poster 3: [Repeat previous posters if you want] Only a year after the birth of the twins, Collin’s mother, Rachel Margaret Starr, dies. A week after her death, Lucyfinds out that she is pregnant with a baby girl. They decide to name her Rachel [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] Starr.

Poster 4: [Repeat previous posters if you want] Anna is now 3, Sylvia and Andy are 1, and Rachel is a newborn. Their family is complete. They move to a bigger house in [name_f]Chicago[/name_f].

Poster 5: [Repeat previous posters if you want] Skip 20 years. At 23, Anna - now studying to be a neuroscientist - meets the guy of her dreams: JosephJoey” Abbiati, a 22-year-old dancer. They date for a couple years, and then get married when Anna is 26 and Joey is 25.

Poster 6: [Repeat previous posters if you want] Meanwhile, Sylvia is now 24 and is pregnant with a baby girl. She names her Almandine Lucille Browne, aka “Mandy” - her mn honors Sylvia’s mother.

…and so on! Make sure not to write too much; leave some for other people! At the end, you can write something poetic like, “And so, the next generation of the [name_f]Starr[/name_f] clan grew up to become wonderful people just like their parents…” or something basic like “End family: Lucy and Collin with Anna (with Joey), Sylvia (with Mandy), Andrew, and Rachel.”

I’ll start:

Nate [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_f]Silva[/name_f] married his girlfriend, [name_f]Zoey[/name_f] [name_f]Samantha[/name_f] [name_m]Reeves[/name_m] last year. [name_f]Zoey[/name_f] is now eight months pregnant with their first daughter.

Their daughter is born one week overdue and they call her [name_f]Evie[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. Three weeks after [name_f]Evie[/name_f] is born, [name_f]Zoey[/name_f]’s youngest sister [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] (16) calls [name_f]Zoey[/name_f] in floods of tears. She’s just found out she’s pregnant and their mum is going to kick her out if she doesn’t have an abortion. [name_f]Zoey[/name_f] at once tells [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] she can live with them and that they will help her to raise the baby. Their middle sister [name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] (19) also agrees to help out where she can.

Lilly moves in at once and helps take care of [name_f]Evie[/name_f]. [name_f]Lilly[/name_f]’s daughter, [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] [name_f]Zoey[/name_f], was born a week before she was due. That same month, [name_f]Zoey[/name_f] learned she was pregnant again. Everyone is excited for [name_f]Zoey[/name_f], but something awful happened. [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] was found in a parking lot, a later autoposy concluding she had died of an overdose. [name_f]Zoey[/name_f] and [name_m]Nate[/name_m] are left with [name_f]Evie[/name_f], their own daughter and [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], [name_f]Lilly[/name_f]’s daughter. [name_f]Zoey[/name_f] begs [name_f]Mia[/name_f] to take [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], since [name_f]Zoey[/name_f] is overwhelmed because of taking care of [name_f]Evie[/name_f] 24/7 and because [name_m]Nate[/name_m] was laid off. [name_f]Mia[/name_f] refuses sadly and [name_f]Zoey[/name_f] and [name_m]Nate[/name_m] put [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] up for adoption.

A few weeks later, they find out [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] has been adopted by [name_f]Zoey[/name_f] and [name_m]Nate[/name_m]’s best friend and [name_f]Evie[/name_f]’s godfather, [name_u]Devon[/name_u] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] [name_m]Daniels[/name_m]. [name_f]Zoey[/name_f] is very happy that [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] is still in their lives. A few months later, [name_f]Zoey[/name_f] is nine months pregnant and due to give birth any day.

[name_f]Zoey[/name_f] labors for over a day until finally getting a C-section. The baby boy is named [name_m]Teo[/name_m] [name_m]Mark[/name_m]. However, [name_f]Zoey[/name_f] is in very bad shape after giving birth and has to stay in the hospital for over a week. Upon returning home, she discovers that [name_u]Devon[/name_u]’s partner [name_u]Gary[/name_u] has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Nate is very upset and decides to buy the house next door to theirs, an old Victorian. [name_f]Evie[/name_f] is overjoyed to live next door to [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], although it is a longer commute to preschool.
