Posting Your Story

There is a specific layout for you to use when you are posting your story. This layout helps to keep posting organized and neat. Please follow this layout otherwise you will receive a warning. If you do not fix the layout after your warning your topic will be deleted.

gaia_star In the Topic title make sure you state the Genre, Title, and Chapter (if applicable).

gaia_star At the top of the post make sure you put the Title of the story, who the author(s) is, and what chapter it is (if applicable).

gaia_star There are two ways you can post a story that has multiple chapters. The first is to have all the chapters in the same thread (this usually results in comments between each story). The second is making a new thread for each chapter. Make sure you link the chapters together somewhere in the first post of the threads so that people can find the chapters.


Post Example
[sci][f]New Hope - Humanities Survivors
By Ethril Dragon
Prologue (insert link)
Chapter 1 (insert link)


Chapter 2

"insert text"


If you want to post a link to a story you wrote, but it's on another site, do it this way.

Post Example
[sci][f]New Hope - Humanities Survivors.
By Ethril Dragon

New Hope Story (Insert link to story)
