From Create Your Own Story

Revision as of 21:48, 20 December 2006

This is a great idea, but the problem is that the story lacks focus. Everyone is just adding to it in crazy directions with some adult content thrown in. Although I guess its funny, it will never be a story. I suggest that the authors try their best to constrain it to the world of the story, and not have things like out of place items like possibly cell phones or celebrities, etc. (I am talking here about the non-adult stories.)

I completely agree, but keep in mind that if you see something that doesn't belong, feel free to cut it out. Also all it takes is one person with the urge to create a focused storyline. Right now everyone is just putting in little peices just for the heck of it.

I agree that story focus will be a problem with the current system (I also agree that this is a great idea). How about writing a short blurb on the beginning page when starting a new story? It could work as a setting definition for that story, and as a reference when editors weigh whether new additions to that story are appropriate or not. It would also work as a traditional book blurb, making it easier for readers to choose stories to their liking. E.p. 11:15, 12 December 2006 (EST)

Whoever put in that story about red october, it was really good! -RobKohr 08:00, 10 August 2006 (EDT)

• Tip: search for small images and add the links to them to equipment. This way you can use images in the equipment list. Try to use the direct image url and not the google cached copy since that changes frequently.

• Removing the "Random page" link might be a good idea for this project, especially when children are visiting the site, may curiously or accidentally stumble onto a scene from an 18+ story or something. Leileilol 20:39, 28 November 2006 (EST)
