   I've posted a hub about a new game I think may be fun for all - participation is totally voluntary and the only real prize is the challenge.

    Oh, I could write about shoes if I had to, I have plenty of them (and I have written about pregnancy - thank you GG very much, and I got a little HubLove out of the topic). 
    
    But shoes is an I'll-get-to-it-when-I-have-time topic, as far as I am concerned.  So, give me shoes if you like, but I may not bump back for a few weeks.

    Shoes is Steph's thing. 
    
    I don't want anyone to think that this is a "write it in one day" thing.  I think we should use this game to continue to flex our brains on topics perhaps outside our preferred idea bank.  I know I miss the whole Hublove thing.

    Whitney05posted 16 years ago

    I'm a little confused. I went to the hub and thought that you chose for the 1st person, and that person chose. Now, are you chosing a topic and everyone writes on it? Also, where did Shoes come from?
    
    When I read how it's played in the other forum you participate, I was thinking it would be similar to that game. Basically, you choose a topic, say 'shoes' for the 1st person, she writes about 'baby shoes.' The next person tweaks the topic to 'babies' and writes about 'choosing a baby name.' Then the next person writes about 'pet names.' Then the next person, 'choosing a pet.' Etc.
    
    That seemed to fit the discription of the other game...
    
    Maybe that could be another game.

    Whitney,
    
    I'm glad you asked.  When I was considering this kind of game, I wanted to be a little more flexible with it's structure.  I do not want to create super-saturated categories in the course of this game, thus the slight change in the way the game is played.

       Whitney05posted 16 years agoin reply to this

       Understandable. I think that going with the way I had thought, would still give a lot of flexibility because the person could pick anything to write about as long as it was slightly touched on in the previous hub. shoes to babies, as long as the shoes were baby shoes.
       
       Like, if Steph wrote about sandals, the next person could choose summer plants, since you wear sandals in summer months usually.

    Well, I think once Steph has published her hub, which the girlie girl inside me cannot wait to read, maybe she could put a little blurb at the bottom about the game and who is next (Peter) and what the topic she's chosen for him is.

    I don't want to rush anybody at all.  This is a challenge and a game, rather suiting when you consider the source, eh? 
    
    This is just something voluntary and extra to keep those who participate on their proverbial toes.

       Those are hubs that I know the majority of the info from my own experiences and just need a little info to fill in the gaps. Most of the time takes find the perfect pictures and amazon products and then placement of the capsules. And of course research for the empty gaps takes time as well. Tags takes a while, too, trying to get the perfect ones and all the ones that may be searchable and related to the topic.
       
       You guys think that 2-3 hours is amazing, but I find the 30 minutes is crazy.

    Yes, 2-3 hours is about right.  It took me slightly more than that to volley over the first hit in Hub Tennis.  So now, before I go to bed, I am contemplating a topic for Peter.....

    The How To Hubposted 16 years ago

    Great idea : )    Maybe I have no idea what I am getting myself into....but count me in. 
    
    I joined hubpages a little over a week ago and I am already hooked! This is my very first forum post for goodness sake, so I am still wondering "what am I doing" - lol
    
    Whilst I was initially referred to hubpages by a colleague, I can see this becoming an overindulged hobby!  The site should come with a warning.........'hubpages are addictive'
    
    I enjoy writing articles and blogging, but previously my focus has mostly been business so that has directed my topics.
    
    One thing.....be kind to me!
    
    gamergirl - maybe you could update the tennis hub with the names, hublinks and the upcoming subjects as this moves from player to player?

       Whitney05posted 16 years agoin reply to this

       The player chooses the subject, so Charlotte isn't picking them all. She just picked the first one, and Steph picked the next one, and Peter will pick the next, and so on.
       
       I guess she could update with whatever the subject was with the corresponding hub.

    My first thought was "how not to eat noodles" - I bet there's a video or two out there to illustrate it. In some cultures it is polite to slurp your noodles, in some places people throw a noodle at a wall to see if it is cooked...I don't know This could get silly.
