These are all original ideas of mine, that does not mean I can guarantee that nobody else has used them, I have not seen them used.
If you want to use a story starter, you must build at least a basic plot outline to go off, you can not give up the story once it's started. If you really can't find the motivation or inspiration to finish, you may give the story back to me. By doing so, you are giving permission to use anything you put into the starter. They will be required to credit you if you made significant progress and details on the story. You can not take a starter and sloppily/lazily add things just to get credit from the new author. If you do not make a noteworthy affect on the book, they will not be required to credit you for it.
You can edit the story as much as you want as long as it stays with the same idea, if you change it too much then you might as well just write your own story and credit me for inspiration and leave the starter for someone else who needs it.
Feel free to change it to your own style of writing, your style is like your mark, it is often recognizable and you may want to simply substitute words to something that makes more sense to you or your readers.
For example, I tend to write with a lot of BE vocabulary, so if you don't then you can change those to AE words or whatever vocabulary you want.You must always credit me, no matter what you do with the story.
Credit must be in the description.
You have to give actual credit, I won't accept people using my nickname(s) as credit, it must make it easy for the person to find me.
Once you have an outline you'd like to use (make sure it's written out in Word, Google docs, an eternal Wattpad draft, etc.), simply message me to claim the starter and I'll mark it as taken and put your story on the page. You do not have to give me the outline as proof.
Please message me privately, not through a conversation in the comments. If you do not know how to do this, simply look it up for help or @me in the starter you want and I'll message you when I can so you can just click the notification to go directly to the messages.
Link me to your story! I'd love to see what you do with my story. This is also necessary so I can make sure you follow my rules. You can either provide a link or @Lumectric in the first chapter.
If you need help with the story, such as details you can't link, feel free to ask me, as I may remember how I linked things, or have ideas you can use if you want!
Please follow everything I listed, I don't want to have to deal with these issues, but I will if you do not listen to what I've asked.
Something to note, I do switch POVs mid chapter, I switch subtly so it shifts POVs smoothly instead of abruptly. I did so in Silence when you see Ghost fiddling with something, if you pay attention, it slowly shifts to her POV. If this gets confusing, I might just do it abruptly when giving up the story.
