Roja Report post Posted January 25, 2007 Procedures for Storyline work Step 1: First Prove to us that you are a good writer! Write a short story on your character, or a totally fictional character, from Eternal Lands. This story should be posted in this forum, and once approved by myself, you can continue with the steps down below. **If you want your story to be considered please put somewhere in your post a message like "I'm submitting this test story for consideration for the team" Step 2: -Choose from the list of stories we need written (a list will be posted eventually) OR -Submit an idea for a story not on the list for approval. You may do this by creating a new post. Note, you can submit ideas even if you aren't a writer. If it's a good idea someone else might take it up and write about it. Step 3: -Write a short summary paragraph and/or outline. -Submit for approval. -When this is approved your name will be posted by the story in the story list as you writing it, so others won't take the story. Step 4: -Write a Rough Draft -Submit for approval Step 5: -Write final copy Step 6: -Final copy should be proof read, edited, and any final changes will be made. Notes: We want to stress quality over quantity! -These procedures are aimed to create a more organize and structured work environment. The stories we write should be well thought out and planned before writing them. -The list of stories will be planned out and developed by the Story Development Team. The list can contain a simple theme of a story that can be written, or it can be a detailed outline that the writers should follow when writing the content of the story. -We can have short stories, long stories, even novels! The length in the end doesn't matter(unless something is planned specifically to be a short story, etc.), what matters is the QUALITY, that it's a good story! -All new authors should start out with writing only short stories, to prove they can write well.
