Try new things, change them if you don't like them or keep them if you think they fit.
The Think Tank and Idea Box
We are here to help. Help with what? You know those tiny details that are most difficult to make realistic? The additions, or removal, of odd bits of information to complete a story's realism?
That's what we're here to help with.
We will not hand you a plot. We will not hand you the basis for a world. We want to help iron these things out, to help you reach a point you're comfortable with.
All plots and worlds set forth are copyrighted to the authors, and authors only; except in the case of fanfiction, where the author should note.
Fanfiction will be looked at as openly as original work! The advice you give is offered knowingly to the one you're advising, who may use the advice in any way they see fit.
In short the services we provide are:
Minor story elements, fixing possible plot holes (the obvious things)
Giving direction to and helping with your brainstorming
Fleshing out characters (Q&A/Pressconference for character)
If you're not sure if we can help you with something, just ask, we'll be glad to help!
On Topic Posts:
Requesting help hammering out details for a specific fiction.
Asking if a particular plot has any inconsistencies (please post a synopsis.)
Responding to a help request.
Offering ideas to better this thread.
Off Topic Posts:
Debate that does not have to do directly with a plot or story idea being discussed.
Bumps. This is a sticky, bumps are not necessary.
Flaming and trolling.
Anything that does not have to do with writing.
If you can, don't be vague in your plotlines when asking for advice. The more vague you are, the less help we can give.
Please, do not post full or partial works here. We help with ideas, so summaries and description of the problem area should suffice, and if you really need us to read the work, give us a link, be it to fictionpress.com, fanfiction.net, or a Gaian thread.
Also, if you could, please use a higher level of grammar here than you do on the rest of the internet? It helps those trying to help you, and makes you look more intelligent, too.
