So, you've decided you want to write and post a story here. Well, there are some guidelines to follow. :]
- Ask Lucy if you can have a story. She will look over your first part or the entire thing if it is a short and then let you know if you can post it. (99.8% of the time she says yes.)
- You can have a thread for a story which continues over the course of a certain time period, say, every week an update. Each post serves as a part and each part must be between 1500 - 2500 words. (Lucy has a word counter to check.)
- Short stories are 700-1300 words long and take up only one post.
- Consistancy, plot, dialogue, writing neatness (i.e., proper punctuation, spelling, grammar, etc.), lack of repitition in words (use a thesaurus), use of words correctly, etc. will all earn you a certain amount of TC, depending on how Lucy critiques it. A writer herself, she knows what to look for and will reward you accordingly. Writings in this section must be fiction, and must be from 3 to 10 parts for your first story if it's not a short.
