RP forum re-organization! Please add comments to OOC threads

Post by Intisar »

In order to preserver the flow of multi-post story threads, it has been suggested that each story thread be created alongside an "OOC" or "Out of Character" thread, so that comments about the story don't break up the flow of the stories as they are being written and posted.

For example if I posted this story:

Intisar and Gharj: The Death Star of Love

I would also create a post with this title:

[OOC] Intisar and Gharj: The Death Star of Love

In the second thread folks could post their comments and theories about who caused the break up, while I could continue to post chapters of the epic holo-novella as they are written in the first.

I will go through the forum and create OOC threads and move comments to those threads where needed.

I hope folks will keep posting stories and comments! They are fun to read!

Can the post creator lock their post or only a admin? To prevent extra comments?

Sounds great. Love the idea. Does the creator have to create both threads or will it populate both?
I have a lot more of Jesianna to write (the event that got her sent to Korriban and how such a sweet, innocent girl who loves baking cookies and the color Pink survived the trails of Korriban). Along with Ekaksha and his pursuit of his fallen twin sister Dhanya and others. So thanks :)
I wonder if there will be a way to post under an age check or something so people like RT and myself or others can post some of our stories that are not "family friendly"? I've been focusing my writings at the moment on Delphin, my Agent, whose stories are most definitely not appropriate for this forum but would love to share.

The HighCouncil voted against adding a mature section to the guild forums. You will have to link to a outside blog or fan-fiction site.

I think only officer ranks have that permission.. But I can help clean up comments and such if needed. :)

Great, thank you for the reorganisation! Feedback on stories is important, and it will be much more convenient to have it in its dedicated place rather than interspersed among the story posts.

I'm currently working on overhauling a story involving my sage Faoileán and Ma'akai, my juggernaut. It evolved from a collaborative thread in my previous guild, so I need to tidy it up and remove the references to that guild's RP back story, but once that is done I'll start posting it here. I hope you like novels, it's long :D
