Ok, so guys, remember BumbleStories? Well, here the first...
SwagoStories!
BA-DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!~
"But Retro" I hear you say, "This is the RP forum not the writing forum, silly. Pfft. Stupid admin"
Well that's where you come in! See how this is going to work is as follows:
I write a few paragraphs of story, then /you/ respond with suggestions of what happens next, then I write of few paragraphs based off of that. And I write more than one, that way on archive you can choose your adventure. So it's more of a game than a story. ^^
Now, here are the rules:
1. Keep suggestions it to a few sentences. This isn't a hard and fast rule, but, I want to write based off of what you say, not rewrite your suggestions. Give me some room for artistic license. That said there is no bad suggestion, just keep in mind if you do write an overly detailed suggestion, you probably won't get what you expect. ;p
2. To be in the story, you must suggest yourself into it. That's right, and if you don't, your not part of the Swagosaurous canon.(And that's no good.) You can have yourself doing whatever, it's up to me to figure it out. And that's the fun part.
3. Specify at what point your suggestion, if it's earlier on than what's going on. Don't worry, I will label every split with numbers like so:
Once upon a time blah blah blah Retro got lit on fire by a certian not yet suggested pyro character blah blah blah.
SPLIT!
[Timeline 1:
Blah blah blah DRILLS blah blah blah SPLIT!
{Timeline 11:
Blah blah blah SPLIT!
(Timeline: 111
Timeline 112)
Timeline 12:
blah blah blah SPLIT!
(Timeline 121:
Timeline 122)}] Etc etc.
Timeline 2:
etc etc.
That way the game will never have to end! ^^
Now how will we keep this mess of a system even kinda organized? Links. Lots and lots of them. More than Four Swords even. That's at least 5.
4: One suggestions per user per split. Clarification, you can make as many suggestions as you want, just one per split maximum. That means I at least won't have to worry about a bajillion splits. ^^;
Now, Q and A
Q: So... every suggestion?
A: Depends. If I can do something with a suggestion and it doesn't become impractical to write, then yes. But, probably no. ^^;
Q: What if no suggestions?
A: That can't happen, because I'll make suggestions to myself.
Q:Why are you even doing this? Write a story by yourself!
A: I have a very good reason for the way I'm writing this. And it has to do with BumbleStories. Ya see, the thing about BumbleStories, and where they went wrong, was that they were separate. They made little sense in context of other stories, and kinda separated Bumbleking users. I write it this way so we can all have a fun story and contribute to it, like we all contribute to SwagosaurousRobot. This way you can be engaged even if the writing sucks, because you'll see your suggestions written, and if you want can just follow the timelines you care about without being bogged down with a bunch continuity. And write your own stories in the official SwagosaurousRobot while easily fitting into continuity
Q: Our own stories?
A: That's right, in order for your own Swagostory to be considered canon is simply post here at what Timeline split you are writing a story for, then your story will be assigned it's own timeline number, then write it in another thread. And your off to the races! ^^ If you are writing an original story from no timeline split, well, it's not canon, but you're welcome to do it. ^^
BTW, one rule for that, don't use any people as characters that haven't suggested themselves into this thread yet, unless they give you permission.
Q: And what makes you think anyone will take part in this?
A: I dunno, BumbleStories were kinda a hit, can't hurt to try, and we might have fun? ^^
K, now that that's done: WITHOUT FURTHER ADO! THE FIRST(and possibly the worst ever idea for a) SWAGOSTORY!
Timeline 0:
Once upon a time, on an otherwise quiet night in the Copyrightedname Kingdom... Somebody pushed a button. BA DA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Suddenly, another dimension. Suddenly, dinosaurs. Suddenly, cybernetic dinosaurs.
"This is cool!" Retro awoke, lied in a heap in a, luckily not thorny, bush; a thorny bush would have ruined his jacket.
Getting up and combing his pompadour in the same motion, the surveyed the land before him.
"So that's what that button did. Note to self do not do acts of mad science when it's 4 in the morning" he thought.
He noted lush forest full of giant trees and thick foliage was around him; not leather jacket wearing weather. A little ways ahead he saw a clearing a head of him, a great plain and river, full of small short circuited SwagosaurBots,(So he named them, because he's an explorer of a new dimension now, that means he gets to name things. Explorer's law.) that was fed from a tall water fall on a cliff, and that river lead into a vast ocean, an ocean filled with short-circuited SwagoSharkBots(Explorer's Law). It was all very pretty.
He wondered if he was sent to a new dimension or if he genesis waved the Copyrightedname Kingdom. Were his friends here too? Only time would tell, but if he was to survive this strange and new world he needed to...

What happens now?
To avoid influencing suggestions, I won't post mine until I get one or two.
