Proposal: The Story Arc

Popular, 5-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

Adminned at 03 Jul 2024 00:43:43 UTC

In the rule “The End”, after the paragraph “If the last two words in the story are “The End” the Story is Complete.” add the following paragraph:

While there is an Open Judging, any Storyteller may call for a Ending Drawing by making a Story blog post where the title contains the phrase “Ending Drawing”. When this post has been made, the next Drawing is considered the Ending Drawing. Fragments received by the Publisher for an Ending Drawing are considered Ending Fragments and must end with the sentence “The End.”

In the rule “Judging”, replace the step “* Add the Fragment in that Judging with the highest Total Score, randomly selecting a Fragment among any that are tied for highest Total Score, to the end of The Story, and format The Story with any paragraph breaks between sentences that the Publisher deems appropriate.” with the following steps:

* Add the Fragment in that Judging with the highest Total Score, randomly selecting a Fragment among any that are tied for highest Total Score, to the end of The Story, unless it is an Ending Fragment, in which case publicly track it as “The Last Fragment” and do not add it to the end of The Story.
* Format any part of The Story with any paragraph breaks between sentences that the Publisher deems appropriate.

 

Providing a way to turn a Drawing into writing the last Fragment, then holding onto that Fragment so that everyone can see where The Story is supposed to go at the end. If you like this idea, we will need something else to decide when to add it to The Story and end it.
