How To Contribute
We need
you! Gaia has an amazing roleplaying community with plenty of experienced roleplayers; if you want to contribute to this little stockpile of information, whether you want to write for beginners or even more experienced roleplayers, please read on!
I want to write a guide!
That's awesome <3 Take a gander at the
list of desired topics or have a go at your own idea (try not to duplicate any current guides though, or your guide may be rejected
sad ). Once you know what you want to write about, please use the
Guide Format Template so that the formatting is consistent with our other guides. Make sure that you spell-check and proof-read your work before submitting it to us; if mistakes make it too difficult to read, we may not be able to accept it without a little more polish.
Once you're done, drop a private message with your guide to a Barton OOC moderator for review!
I want to add something to an existing resource!
Some of our resources, such as the Weapon List, can more than likely be expanded. If you have anything to add to them, send your proposed additions to a Barton OOC moderator, with a clear note or link explaining which guide you want to add something to.
I have a thread or guild on Gaia that might be useful to add to the Guides and Resources list!
If you currently have a guild or thread which exists to help people with their roleplaying skills (such as a 'critique my character' thread, or a roleplay practice guild), send the following information to a Barton OOC moderator for review: The link, the name of your guild/thread, and a short description of one or two sentences explaining how it can help with roleplay training. You should not submit links to threads/guilds you don't own (unless you have permission from the owner), as the extra attention may be unwanted, and all links should be within Gaia.
I found a cool guide on a different website. Can I just use that and send it to you if I format it with the template?
I'm afraid not - all guide content submitted to the Roleplay Guides and Resources thread should be original. If you want to use the offsite information you've found to write your own guide, that's fine - just remember not to copy anything directly, and to link to the guide as a reference at the very bottom so that it is compliant with copyright law :3
I'm having trouble with a particular aspect of roleplaying - I'd like to see a guide written about <insert topic here>!
Drop a private message to a Barton OOC moderator, and we'll add it to the Wanted! list.
Thanks for all your contributions!
