Whoohoo! Goodrms started an ongoing story a la inshidduchim.com!
I LOOOOOOOVE that story. Dina/Donny - so much drama! Highly recommended.
As on that sight, I started this section so that we can talk about it without PMing.
Let's go, writers!!!!

I love reading and writing, so this sounds great, but why did the story have to start off on such a depressing note??

I just thought if we had a clear plot in the beginning it would help the story flow despite different writers. But if you would like me to change anything I'd be happy to!

I think you need drama... what kind of positive drama is there?
But if you don't like it, change it! That's the beauty of the ongoing story!

I hope this won't offend anyone, but would it be possible to proofread for grammar before submitting? I find it difficult to "get into" stories that have egregious errors like "she would have went" or that change tenses three times in two sentences.

I deleted my post so it shouldn't be such a negative story.
I hope others will continue... I really do think it's such a great idea.

I think part of the reason the Dina/Donny story on inshidduchim is so successful is because all of the writers truly feel and experience what Dina is going through. They add a personal touch by putting in their true feelings, frustrations, and pent-up emotions. The beauty of the story is that each person has a different style - some build up the characters, some get right to the action, etc. You don't get tired of reading the same style of writing with the same boring cliche's.
I think the way to make this story a success is if every person adds something from their own life experience - a story, a way of dialogue, true feelings or thoughts, etc. Each person can bring their own style and creativity.
I am looking forward!

I think another reason that story on inshidduchim.com is still going on is because they have a lot more time to write.
I need a good hour to sit and write a good paragraph, and that's not time I have available right now.
ETA: I just saw how you changed the story, and I'm going to give it a shot because I'm relatively newlywed and the change you made speaks to me. I really have to go make Shabbos, but my writer's urge is kicking in, so too bad 
I'm so insecure about my writing, so it's a good thing no one knows me here...

mandr, thanks for continuing.
just ooc, where are you planning on going with your chapter? I had mentioned the chosson's name as Moshe... so does ariella marry lazer, or break it off and marry moshe? or is his name moshe lazer? I don't mind to change it to lazer, but we have to be consistent with the names for this to work

Can we insert a link to the story in this thread, preferably in one of the first posts (I.e. can a non-amother edit her post to include a link?) Because for some reason I KEEP seeing this thread in the top new posts but never saw the original.
