5 Days to Go ~ Get Your Chapter Entered~ Read some of the entries now

There are just 5 more days to get your Chapter 1 entry in.

The voting for the first chapter entries will begin on April 18th on the Chronicles of an Adventure site

( http://chronicles-of-an-adventure.blogspot.com/)

All the entries will be posted to Fanfiction.net : http://www.fanfiction.net/u/3854327/Chronicles_of_an_Adventure

We are happy to announce the following entries have been submitted:

"Trail's Head"
Author: Dragonfey 57
Beta: Ericsminion

Eric set at his desk, thinking over the conversation with the tracker he had hired. Ian was one of the best around, but even Weres have limitations. He would be helpful during the daytime in the search for Gabriella’s human, Matthew, but no Were had his particular set of skills. It was decided; he was going to Chicago himself.

“Pam!” he called out as he moved quickly towards Fangtasia’s back door, “call ahead and make all the arrangements for me to get to Chicago a.s.a.p.”

Before Pam could even call out “good luck” to Eric he was gone.

"Mathew"

Author: Merick

Beta: Daniel Rook

“Please don’t make me do this again?” The voice was soft, and might have been called musical were it not so despondent in its plea. Large eyes looked up at the giant of a man towering above her, his face showed no mercy, not to her, not to the human slumped in the chair in front of them both. Sometimes he smiled at her, the giant man, sometimes his long nose crowned the glimmer of white teeth splitting beautiful red lips. Sometimes his green eyes glittered, but not that day.

“Go into his soul, we need what he hides little one.” At least his voice was not angry, she hated it when his voice was angry, it made her feel small, and worthless.

Launched this week , Chronicles of an Adventure is a collaborative event for writers and anyone that would like to express themselves creatively. Though based on the SVM fandom, all fandoms are welcome to join in.

In a nutshell: A story will be started with a premise (a prompt). All writers are asked to write a chapter based on that premise and create their own supernatural character. All those that submit a chapter will have them all posted and voted on. The winning chapter will be the premise (the prompt) for the next chapter and so on until the end of the story. All creative expressions (banners, pictures, videos, etc) will be welcome too and posted on the site to go with the chapters. Once the last chapter is finished, there will be a vote for the title of that particular story.

Please see the rules HERE

So are you excited about this UNIQUE project that will be a first in the Fandom for this opportunity to write a collaborative story? I was when I started fleshing out the idea with the help of Alpha En. I wasn't sure how people were going to react but everyone seems to LOVE the idea. I think it's because we all want to be part of the group. This will offer a great way to really put aside our own agendas and come together to have fun. I'm hoping to offer writers an opportunity to stretch their skills. It's easy to get into our own little worlds and become a bit static. This offers and opportunity to reach out, push ourselves and grow. Hope everyone will take advantage of this opportunity and I also hope we can all come together to do something maybe even "Epic" as one writer said.

If you do not write, or create graphics but still want to get involved I can use all the help I can get. Just drop me a note here or on the fanfic site. Happy creating !
