Guest takingdeepanal Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 This is one for the moderators: If a story hasn't been continued for a long time - and the OP hasn't been on this site for at least 3 years - do the moderators have any objection to others continuing the story? There's a trove of stories that seem to have been abruptly limboed ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestCatcher Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Moderators are an integral part of this site: they keep things within the rules, which often means within legal and ethical bounds. So they shouldn’t care in the least that a story be continued by another poster when the story is abandoned by the original poster. I think I’m safe in speaking for all/most members here in saying we sure as hell don’t care if a good story is contained...no matter by whom... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is so, then why haven't any of them been continued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twstdpigboy Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 I believe there is a post outlining this however if I recall the procedure is to either: if thefollowers still an active member and they 'pass the touch to you' ie. they provide you with a formal permission to continue the store then the moderator's will allow it usually it would be followto with a public declaration of your having been provided with permission to carry on with the story. in the event that the original author is no longer active then rather than continuing the story in the original post you create a entirely new post so that the post is now under your byline and explain in the introduction that you were inspired by such and such provide a [link to the original story] and who the original author and thank them for their contribution and in the first few paragraphs seguey into your original content and blend them together ... how you achieve this is up to you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, you beat me to it. If you don’t know how to make links work, I will be glad to do that for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
