What is a chain story? How do I start one?

Chain Stories are a special category on Literotica. To start one, you must do the following:

1. Post your idea to the Literotica Author’s Hangout Forum and round up any interested authors who would like to participate. If you already have a group of writers who are interested, you may continue on to step #2.

2. Once you know how many authors are interested, you must get a schedule together of who will do the first chapter, who will do the second, etc. Then, you must decide how much time will be available between chapters to allow each author to write their piece. We suggest that you leave no less than 4 days, but no more than 8. A week is generally a good amount of time, but it’s all up to you!

3. The first author should create a story submission called “Chain Story - [Name of Chain]”. In this submission, paste in the title of the chain and the schedule of which authors are doing which chapter(s) and when they’ll be submitting them. If you’ve been planning this in the Author’s Hangout and have posted the schedule there, you can simply paste a link to the thread containing the information into the story submission. We ask that you post the entire chain schedule before submitting the first part of the chain.

4. The first person submits his or her chapter to us, selecting the category “Chain Stories”. Any story which is submitted to “Chain Stories” without following these steps will be moved to whatever category the subject matter dictates.

You can contact support directly if you need help scheduling the publication of your chain story, but please make sure that you have already organized the project with the participating authors before moving on to scheduling.
