May 2013 Blog Chain
ETA: 3/31/14: *If you’re one of the awesome people who finds these past blog chain posts through search terms, you can go here to find more recent topics and to sign up for a current chain.*
This month’s chain is hosted by Lily Jenness, who emailed with a brilliant topic I can’t believe we haven’t done yet:
“What are some of the coolest/weirdest/funniest/most disturbing things you’ve researched for a story?”
She says: “Let’s face it, as writers, our search history can be a bit bizarre. We look up everything from how memory works to how to make candles. For this month’s blog chain, talk about a few of the things you’ve researched for your stories, be they funny, fascinating, or disturbing.”
As always, to sign up just comment below with a link to your blog and any days you can’t make. Thanks!

Teens Can Write, Too! 
AAAH, I haven’t really researched that many crazy things, so I think I’ll just read these and be entertained. xD
Sure! 🙂
Oooh, me, pick me! I can’t do the 5th or 6th but anything else should be okay.

I’m putting you down for the 22nd, as I totally missed this comment at first. Hopefully that’s ok!
Oooh, definitely sign me up 🙂
Yay! How is the 5th?
I can’t NOT do this one — I’ve had some horrific things in my search history! So stick me in there somewhere 🙂 The end of the month would be appreciated as I have exams until the 22nd May but then I’m largely free.
Putting you down for the 23rd!
Awesome — thanks!
I’d like to participate. I’ve researched all sorts of things for my writing:
Oh, also thought I’d mention, if I could possibly have some time before May 15th, that would be awesome, as I will be out of the country after that.
Awesome! Is the 6th okay?
May 6th is awesome. Thanks!
This is a cool topic, but I don’t have anything for it. I got to pass again 😛
Can I have the 9th?
Sure!
Oh boy I don’t even know whether I should ask to do this one… some of the research I’ve done might have people thinking I’m insane. Ah well, they probably do already. Sign me up!
Any day is good, except the 18th.
Great! 🙂 I’ll put you down for the 7th!
Thanks!
Oh boy, I’ve got some good stories for this one. Sign me up for any day you like!
Putting you down for the 8th! Can’t wait for the post!
Fab! 8th it is!
Oh Charley … I look forward to reading this. Plan to share the time you spent in the Oscar Wilde fandom? I’m sure that was one of your more interesting research sessions.
Nuuuuuuu! I decided to go down the non psychopathic route and go uber-nerd instead. Because I like to keep my blog PG, and avoid embarrassing myself completely in the world of the internet. Not good for one’s image and all that 😉
You’ll see my post on Wednesday.
Really. REALLY.
…
snehehehehe.
Don’t look at me like that!
Don’t look at me like that! 😉
How about…gosh, I don’t know how busy I’ll be during the month, but I don’t see any dates right now that I absolutely can’t make, so whatever’s free and I’ll try to write the post beforehand.
Follow-up: I’m signing up under my Blogspot blog, /not/ my WordPress- the site kind of signed me in while I was commenting.
So this one, right? http://nonconformistwriter.blogspot.com/ And great! I’ll put you down for the 10th.
Awesome question, Lily! I know I’m in the safe zone of writing research, but even I do research some wacky stuff.
John, which dates are already gone? I definitely can’t do after the 24th, but I don’t mind how early. Sunday 12th free?
It is!! I’ll put you down for the 12th. 🙂
Thank you 🙂
I’d love to do this, it sounds ridiculously fun 🙂 I’ll use my WordPress account, so just click my username to get to my blog. All dates are manageable to me (13th and 14th are tricky but doable).
Hopefully I’ll entertain. As an Irish teenager I’ve had some… amusing search results…
I’ll put you down for the 11th. 🙂 Excited for the post, haha.
11th? No problem chief, you won’t disappointed 🙂
It could turn out creepily, but I’m in. It sounds fun.
Creepy is good! Putting you down for the 13th.
Thirteenth. I’m on it.
Yep. Doing this. Yep. Any day works for me. XD
I’ll mark you as posting on the 14th, then!
This sounds great! I can do any day after May 16th 🙂
I’ll put you down for the 17th!
Sounds great! I’m in!
Preferably this week or next would be best for me, as the last two weeks of May consists of tech week and show weekend. 🙂
Crap. I just gave away all the other dates in the next two weeks before seeing this… sorry! Is the 15th okay?? You can always write and schedule the post in advance too. 🙂 Lmk!
Sure, that’s fine! I’ll write it this week and schedule it to post on that day. 🙂 Thank you!

Hey! I would love to be a part of May’s Blog Chain. 🙂

I’d be happy to post any day!
Great! Putting you down for the 16th. 🙂
I’ll like to take part!
Such a cool topic, Lily!
Thanks!
Agreed! I’ll mark you as the 18th, if that’s okay!
Did my last comment not go through? Anyway, I just said I was putting you down for the 18th. 🙂
Oh it did go through!
The date is fine with me.
Thank you!!
Oh do I have have an interesting topic! I can post on a weekend if possible!

Can’t wait! Putting you down for the 19th!
Can I still sign up? (Camp NaNo has set me so off schedule that I just saw this!) I can post any day but I’d prefer later in the month because I have stupid rehearsals and performances in early May.

You totally can sign up! I was going to give you the 20th. Is that late enough in the month?
Yup! That’s perfect!
Ooh, look at all the people who want to participate! *Does happy dance.*
That’s because it ROCKS. 🙂
Why thank you. *Curtsies*
Can I still sign up? If so, any date works. 🙂
You can! I’ll put you down for the 21st. 🙂
Awesome, thank you! 🙂
I’d love to join!!! This sounds so cool! I have definitely researched my fair share of the bizarre…especially writing ancient historical fiction… 😉 Here’s my blog address: http://anomalous93.blogspot.com/ I can do any week day, just let me know!!
Awesome! I’m putting you down for the 24th. 🙂
I know it’s late, but can i join? I completely forgot about this until right now.
Sure! I’ll put you down for the 25th.
Haha, I’m late, too! I’d like to join!

Also, I can’t do the 9th-12th. Other than that, I’m good!
Woot! I’ll put you down for the 26th.
Can I still sign up? I’d prefer to post towards the end of the month, but if that doesn’t work I’ll take any day. 🙂
If you can do the 28th, then yes! 🙂
That’s good, thanks!
Can I still sign up? 😀
