    Dujo was right when he said we could just use the joint author thing to do the "adopt-a-story" idea, but I think we need a place where people can post the stories they need/want to be adopted. I think a good guideline would be that you have to PM the author as opposed to posting 'I'll take that on here' so that if they reject you, the entire board doesn't know about it.

    And keep in mind, an author may not want you to finish the story, not because you suck, but because your stories don't have the same tone as theirs, they don't like your ideas about where the story could go, etc.

    On the same not, don't be bummed if nobody wants to adopt your story. They may have no problem where to go with it or might be too busy with their story load.

    What to include in your posting:

    I would kiss you but I don't think your fiance would like that so much lol. But this is a great idea I think,. :)

    Title: The Skater Boy
    Genre: Romance
    Fandom: The Legend of Zelda
    Pairings: LinkxZelda ZeldaxOC
    Rating: R
    Characters: Link, Zelda, Malon, Charles (OC) Matt (OC), Dave (OC), Mia (OC), Lara (OC)
    Link: Linkage
    What you do want: Basically just finish the story or something. I won't be insulted if you decide to re-write the entire story because I wrote this when I was 13 and it pretty much sucks lol. Alot of grammar an spellin mistakes, as well as plot holes up the ass. Just keep with the basic story: Link is a rockstar, Zelda is the ex-princess of Hyrule. Link writes horrible songs about his ex-girlfriends, Zelda is in a horrible relationship with an abusive boyfriend. Etc. You don't even need to know shit about The Legend of Zelda series: this was/is a completely AU story.
    What you don't want: Basically it's anything goes. I want to see what anyone can do with this story. It is an abandoned story that has alot of mistakes and problems and seeing it blossom into something nice, even by the hand of someone else, would make me happy. I will even post it on Fanfiction.net (its home) and say that you (whoever wants to take this) wrote it.

    Hey, this is a great idea. I just wanted to bump this up to the first page so people can see it and make use of it :]

    Sorry if this post is considered useless/spamming because I haven't really added my story or anything to the list >.<

    Title: Part of Me
    Genre: Fanfic.
    Fandom: Cobra Starship
    Rating: I really can't remember.
    Characters: Gabe Saporta, my original character Ava, an unnamed girl.
    Link
    What you do want: I just want someone who has the ability to round a story off and maybe give the ending a nice twist.
    What you don't want: Anyone being killed off or Gabe and Ava ending up together, I didn't write them as love interests, so I would like it to stay that way.

    Word of warning, this is one of those stories that is really strange and was a really warped idea I had. I also really won't mind if you wish to tweak parts of what is already written.

    What you do want: Someone who can come up with a plot to put in the middle and who can write rapid depression over the death of a loved one well enough.
    What you don't want: A happy ending. I want my original suicide ending to stay exactly as it was. And no romance.

    I gave this story up and deleted it, but I'll repost it if someone wants to take it over.

    I deleted this slash but I still have the draft for the first chapter in case somebody wants it. Dru also made a banner for it.

    Title: Sodom
    Genre: AU, Religious, Romance, Slash
    Fandom: Original Fiction
    Pairings: My characters David/Johnathon (Johnny)
    Rating: PG-13 to R
    Characters: Johnathon (17) and David (22)
    Link: Sodom
    What you do want: It finished/started. :XD Someone who can write third person well and can keep my vision of this society where the Heterosexuals are seperated completely from theHomosexuals and can include Biblical references in a good way.
    What you don't want: Mass quantities of sex. Fluff is good but no smut. -_- No annoying female characters either and no crazy amount of teenage characters. They're all young adults except for Johnny and one or two children.

    :cute: If you're interested then I'll PM you with some of my original visions and what I have of the first chapter so far.

    Title: The Immortal
    Genre: Deathfic, Romance, Originalfic,
    Fandom: None
    Rating: I don't really know, there's nothing worse than a lot of cussing. This one's pretty low key but it might turn into something else.
    Pairings: Going to be Ivey/character I haven't made up yet.
    Characters: Death, Ivey, don't know yet,
    Link.
    I need some help with the romance part of it, and basically re-writing it because it was my first story. I want to finish it because I really like the plot and the ending, but I'm horrible about writing romance and I don't have enough time to totally re-start it right now. I want it to end the way I planned, I already have it planned out.

    If you are interested PM me.

    I'm thinking of putting this up for adoption, so if you're interested then PM me because I still have ideas for where I want the story to go...

    Title: Do You Like It When I Handcuff You?
    Genre: Fan-fic/Romance
    Fandom: My Chemical Romance
    Pairings: Frank Iero and Gerard Way (Frerard)
    Rating: NC-17
    Characters: Frank Iero, Gerard Way, Matt Pellisier, Bob Bryar, Ray Toro, Mikey Way and others.
    Link: Do You Like It When I Handcuff You?
    What you do want: I want to still be involved with the storyline and be a beta to whoever writes it. I'd like someone with a similar writing style to mine preferably.
    What you don't want: A bad author. This story has my highest number of subscribers so I don't want it messed up! And I don't want Frank and Gerard to get together straight away; they have to fight for their love.

    Please PM if you're interested... I'm not 100% sure I want to adopt it so if you're interested then I'm sure you can persuade me!
