The Story Lottery - Feedback and Chatter

[Andronica]

Ohhh yes, can't wait for the new thread September sign up thread! <3

[RampantDesires]

Whoops, I just noticed that first-timers are limited to one match which is totally understandable.  Time to edit my profile!

Hope y'all are doing well <3

The September 2021 sign up thread is now closed! Thanks to all who have signed up.

Partnerships will be announced in the next few days or so, all being well.

[Chou chou rheastar]

yay!!!

[clonkertink]

Just poking the thread to stay up to date.

[Britwitch]

Partnerships should be coming in the next day or so - have been having a thoroughly wonderful 'unplugged' few days visiting my Mum for the first time in 2 years. <3  Thanks for being patient everyone!

[Chou chou rheastar]

How exciting!!

[Stormbringer]

Hi All!

I'm relatively new to the site and still learning where everything is being hosted. Did the partnerships get posted yet? I'm looking at the three threads for this and not seeing where the list is to find out if we were paired with anyone.

Hope you are all enjoying the fall weather!

[Andronica]

Hey Storm! Partnerships aren't up yet. When they're posted, you'll find them on the September sign-up page. :)

[Stormbringer]

Awesome! Thanks Andronica! I bookmarked the page for easy reference.

This is a big place - lots of rabbit holes to get lost in.  8-)

[Chou chou rheastar]

Wonderful rabbit holes Storm !!!

[Stormbringer]

Indeed, Chou cho rheastar! I could spend a few lifetimes exploring all there is here.  :D

And great people, too.

[Chou chou rheastar]

I'm so glad you are enjoying yourself!!!

I can't wait to write with our lottery partners! I love meeting new people!

Hi. I'm not sure if this is still happening or not or what the procedure is... But I'm gonna have to withdraw from the September Lottery as I've come at a point in time where I'm unable to dedicate time to it. And it won't be fair to the person I might eventually get paired with.

Thanks for the opportunity and I wish y'all all the best.

[Britwitch]

Apologies to all waiting on the lottery draw.

The month got away from me in epic fashion - luckily for largely positive reasons - and there was also a serious imbalance in the participants which would have resulted in a large percentage of those wanting to take part to have to miss out on a partner.

In the interests of trying to find as many people as possible a writing partner, I'm going to reopen the draw. Those who signed up who can longer or who no longer want to take part can simply delete their post from the sign up thread. Fingers crossed we'll have enough interest to make the pairing up work out!

[dragonsen]

What sort of partners are needed to correct the imbalance? I may throw my hat in if needed.

[Andronica]

^ I'd like to know as well. I'm happy to broaden my horizons and try new pairings.

[clonkertink]

I am also quite willing to be a bit flexible on my preferences.

[BlackStone]

I am also interested in what needs to be done to open up positive matches.

[Britwitch]

Essentially we're looking for more female character writers to sign up as those are the ones that are almost always in short supply.

[BlackStone]

Sadly that is not something I can help with.  I am the first to admit my female characters are barely two-dimensional and my wife has always said I would make a terrible woman.

[Lady Lunarius]

Signed up. That'll help I hope

[Andronica]
