Tales From Wyvern
Remember back in the day when we had a rolling economy and Arch Wizards had time to assist us with little things like putting stories up on the web site?
Well, those times are gone. Suck it up. BUT! There is no reason Tales cannot rise from the ashes of our broken dreams! So without further preamble, let's get straight to the rules: 1) As a famous TV chef is known for saying, "Keep it G, ladies!" Which means if you wouldn't have seen it in a book back in the 30's and 40's, you ain't allowed to write it here. Censorship is alive and well and lives right here. 2) You ain't allowed to use another player's character. Exceptions to this: The two of you are collaborating on the same story (as in taking turns, or sharing the characters in this storyline). 3) No adding to another's storyline. Meaning? Freddbot comes in, posts up a chapter of drivel. Salklich reads it, thinks, "Hey! Groovy man!" He then posts up the next installment of the story in his words--basically jacking the storyline from Freddbot. 4) There is no rule #4. 5) No excessive violence/gore/innuendo/whatnot. You can let us know that Crierbaby's guts fell on the floor when the Wyvern rakes him with its claws without having it splatter the reader with offal. 6) No getting frisky with the serving girls in the pubs. 'Nuff said. 7) Do, please, try to keep your writing in-line with standard rules of grammar, spelling, & punctuation. English or American English--doesn't matter. Need help with this? Try The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr. http://www.bartleby.com/141/ or the Basics of English Composition at http://www.free-ed.net/free-ed/Human...Comp01_VOD.asp and let us not forget http://www.dictionary.com and its friend http://www.thesaurus.com 8) Break longer pieces up into chapters. Don't post more than 3 per day. Readers don't need to log in to find War and Peace spamming them. 9) Any infractions of the above rules will get your story deleted. Enough deletions, and I'll lock the thread and y'all will have to submit your stories to me for approval before seeing them in here. 10) The above rules are subject to change without your approval. Are you up to it? Then let's rock!
