I had an idea, it's kind of a game, kind of a challenge, see you have to reply to this post with a sentence telling a story that is a rhyme or a lead on from the previous reply, and the next entry should be a to reply to that. The winning thread will be the longest one with the most responses and votes tallied.
Part of the challenge is, you must upvote each and every number before you in the chain, so keep that in mind if you want to enter in story chains additional times. To make them longer you must update your votes that you missed.
For example
#1 leaves a comment with a sentence that tells a story or rhymes.
#2 turns up, replies to that comment with another, votes #1.
#3 turns up furthering the story and votes #2 and #1, etc.
#1 turns up to go one step further but has to vote 3-2-1 in order to further this story arc.
remember there could be multiple stories going on at any time!!
So lets start those threads people!
The winner will be announced in 1 week when this post matures and 10 SBD will be used as the prize to award to all participants of the winning chain so feel free to spread the word. If you would like to donate towards the winners feel free to do so by upvoting resteeming or sending in an SBD donation with the memo "StoryChain"
Depending on how this works out I may publish a few of them next week if that's okay.
Another part of the challenge is, I want to see if we can make participating in the comments section to be valued as much as the post itself, this would be interesting to me so lets see if we can pull it off!! Make participation it's own reward!
If anyone can suggest an easy way to pull that data I would like to see it at weeks end.
Thanks for participating in this week long experiment! Much love.
All SP from this post will be used to support @minnowsupport and its surrounding services. So please vote generously.

But on that day I couldn't find a vibrator with a comfortable handle, instead I met this idiot who winked at me, with a look that will send any teenage girl's heart flutter. That idiot who was supposed to be a shop attendant at the adult shop. The idiot who stole the best years of my life. That idiot I shouldn't have married in the first place. But I was consciously blind to the signs.
