A Saga with two storylines, ten chapters each. The first chapters are written so I need eighteen additional authors, nine for each storyline to complete Houlgrave's Medias Saga. I'll take the first eighteen to respond to this post, but let me know which storyline you want to continue. |

I have posted a chapter. It might not be quite what you expect, but I rather liked how it came out. Let me know what you think. |

I also posted a chapter. Other storyline. And if we're talking about what people don't expect, I'd have to say this ranks pretty high. |

I read, voted, and commented. It was a very good post Nash. I like how these two epics are evolving, one starting from poetic to normal prose, the other continuing with the poetic form. Let's hope some others will soon help us with this project. |

So after reading nash's chapter I sort of wrote a follow up, and now I see an_dochasach claimed it first. :) Anyway, I put it up in draft but not final. Is it okay to publish as a separate path, and not as part of the contest? P.S. I'm afraid it may be more Suess than Homer, but that's all I got. |

I read your contribution and liked it. It wasn't bad at all. I think it should be allowed to be after Nash, and an_dochasach can go after you, if thats alright with him. If not, perhaps your chapter might be able to fit after his. Whatever happens, I liked it and think it fits somewhere. |

Thanks, Cheeseliker. Butan_dochasach, that's not at all necessary, as I'm perfectly happy for my chapter to dangle outside the project. But should you wish to include it before yours, that's fine with me too. |

Tisk tisk Wolfram;)We can leave the decision up to an_dochasach I think. He definitely can still have CH3 if he wants it... |

Sorry I was on vacation last week at the edge of earth. I like wolfram's and don't mind following with chapter 3 or having mine sit outside the project. I'll see if I can tune up mine to more closely follow Wolfram's, maybe abandon the reverse alphabet thing though it was a fun challenge. |

I'll admit to being hesitant to post a chapter after all of the exceptional writing on this project, both poetry and prose. But I'll take a stab at the chapter after Cheeseliker for Getgo. |

I would like to be apart of Getgo. It's a great storyline. I'm itching to continue it. Can I write the next chapter or is Deveraux going to add a chapter? |

I'd say honeygloom should give him a day or two to respond that he's working on it or let you take his place. We can't wait forever, and its been a week or so. I'd like to see these storylines continued. |

Well you have to wait for two others to post a chapter first, then your up. You have to go to the actual storyline, find the last chapter, then click 'add a chapter'. |

I haven't set a limit, just because this is a new thing and I wanted to see how it worked before I started imposing a lot of rules. The quicker the better of course, but I don't want to mess with your creative process:) |

I finally got it out and tacked it on after Reverie. Let me know if that was the proper way of doing it. Also, I apologize for the legth it took me awhile to come up with what I did and I was a bit more apprehensive than I thought I would be. |

Hi djinndarme & Lady A! I read that you each wanted to contribute another chapter. I'd say if no one else jumps in by Wednesday, go for it. I've enjoyed your contributions so far and would love to see more;) |

Since I haven't seen anything from LadyA, I am posting the next chapter. This is breaking out of my mold, but I tried to further the storyline to where I thought a Chapter 4 should be. |

Wow, thanks Cheeseliker. That is a compliment. I enjoy this storyline and didn't want to see it die, so I locked myself indoors yesterday with a cafe mocha. Wonder how the story would have turned out if it had been a martini? |

Honeygloom, can you tell me when my chapter will be added to the list of completed chapters on the Projects page? LadyA's is the last one showing. I don't want anyone to think there's been no progress on the Medias saga. |

I just posted another addition to 'Getgo'--titled "Kylana", right after djinndarme's continuation. I really hope thats o.k. It said, 'claim your chapter here', so I just kind of did. Am I in the wrong Honey, should I have asked you first? Ahhh... |

I think I will add another contribution to the Getgo storyline. If someone else posts here before I get one up though, by all means they can have it. It will likely be a week or so until I have it up. |
