Finely done, and aesthetically pleasing. All is well.
Aelanna does beautiful work again.
Living the dream, or dreaming the life?
I almost forgot to give credit where it's due:
Roget actually helped write the first draft of this guide, and I've only just gotten around to actually dressing it up now. Don't forget to thank him, too.
Excuse me, I received a Noobcon invite and the document says it’s fake! Should I forward it to staff?
There is no good or evil. There is no right or wrong. One might see you evil, another sees your a saint. The black and white of evil fade to grey.
Yeah, you should tell them.
Wait, I can do forum signatures?
Glad this is on the block on the side, definitely need something like this to point new writers towards. Lot of people join the site gunning to start contributing, but they don't know how to properly go about it.
Nice work guys.
(account deleted)'Alternative articles' should also list 'Log of Unexplained Locations' right? Just something i noticed.
Yep. Link has been added. Thanks for double-checking with a comment!
Yay, first day and I'm already helping. I contributed to the 'How to contribute' page. There's just something about that.
A link to Series IV needs to be added on this page.
If we're pushing for GoI-formats to be their own thing, independent of Tales, shouldn't they get their own module here?
No signature defined.
Are there that many GoI-formats being written, that they require that much support?
If you're writing a GoI format, you're kind of expected to be a veteran of the site, and will most likely just directly create the page in an unused pagename.
As a corrollary: How many GoI's do we have, exactly? Isn't it like…20-30 at this point, tops?
How many GoI formats are people really writing?
If you're writing a GoI format, you're kind of expected to be a veteran of the site
I wouldn't say one needs to be a veteran, just as one doesn't need to be a vet to author skips and tales. I wouldn't want to turn anyone off from attempting them due to perceived difficulty - my first article was a GOI-format.
…shaggy, you've been a site member for four years. >_>
Either way, you don't have to be a veteran of writing to be a veteran of the site.
If you're writing a GoI format though, that implies that the GoI exists, and has articles about it.
I don't see many newbies writing a GoI format for an established GoI right out the gate, during their first few weeks/months on the site.
There isn't really any need for it, you can just type your URL and post to the new page.
Really since tales no longer require hidden tags the tale module is redundant now. I think it just causes confusion when new users want to post something other than a mainlist article or tale.
