Well, hello. :)

Some of you may have seen various of my posts once in a while... or not.
I'm just a few months here, but I felt right at home from the beginning.

I love the spirit of gifting and people here seem to be so friendly, helpful and generous that it really makes my day. xD

I also happen to love puzzles, though not always. xD I guess it depends on how frustrating they can get. :P

But enough of that cliche but truthful and short introduction so let's just cut right to the chase. xD


I wanted to give away a bunch of games from some recent bundles I got, mainly for HOG and adventure point 'n' click fans, so I thought, instead of making a boring normal train, why not turn it into something special and unique, while having fun at the same time ???

The truth is I had already written most of this draft medieval fantasy short story a month or two ago, but posted it in parts at the wrong place at the wrong time so it was not read or seen by anyone.. I had almost finished it but then an IDEA hit me.

What if the users of steamgifts lent a "small hand" to this story?

For this particular reason the story has 7 parts that you will find inside the descriptions of the giveaways. The 8th part however is BLANK. And it's blank on purpose. I expect those who "want" and have the appetite of course, to read through this short story and try to fill it in by just writing a comment with how they would like the story to finish. It may just be a few sentences, paragraphs, or it may be much more it all depends on YOU ! :O

So freshen your writing skills! and I mean why not? :)

The ones I like the most, may be published in the end in this thread along with the whole story, and may also help me expand my small whitelist.

Of course the whole point is to have fun with alternate possible endings. xD

Let your imaginations run wild. xD Tell me what you think of course anyway of this weird idea of an event I had. ^^


So here's the short Adventure Story of our humble Wizard (or Sorceress) : (now entrance is free with no reqs)

Start the Adventure Here

Requirements were REMOVED to read the story

PS1 : For the record the gibs are indeed for lvl 2 till lvl 4 but all can participate on story part if they wish so, obviously. :)

PS2 : For those wondering yes this is my first event, so I really hope I didn't screw anything up with the sgtools check or anything else..

PS3 : I kinda regret now that the deadline for gibs is only 4,5 days, cause I actually wanted the event to last more. Oh well.. Maybe I might add more after they finish, depends...

PS4 : Some of you may think what is this crazy dude rambling about? Is he high? And you'd probably have a point. But who cares? xD

EDIT:

MINOR Updates to the story were made

Ooh, I doubt I could write anything creative now, can't get my imagination to work (too much stuff happens around lately and I can't get some quiet creative time) :p This is an amazing idea, I loved the story and the contributed endings :)

Thanks for the kind words. You underestimate yourself, but I understand what you mean, I myself also have problems in finding quiet creative time lately and it is indeed very needed...

4 people have already contributed to the story with their great writing skills. :O

More than 3 days left, so there's plenty of time for more people to try and expand on this story. :) (and help expand my short whitelist in the process)

And a bump. Nice giveaway. Neat story. The ending is bit shaky though, almost as if it was written by a different person. >:)

I actually wrote parts of the story with some months difference. Maybe that's the reason. (also edited various stuff on occasions) But the true ending is up to YOU users of steamgifts anywayz. :)

I was actually referring to my contribution as being written by a different person (obviously it was). Yours flowed pretty well. Thank you for the story and giveaways.
