From Create Your Own Story

Revision as of 21:41, 23 February 2007

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)
  • Done, good thinking!  :)

• Anyone played Fantasy Quest? Are the Diablo sprites infringing any copywrite? FQ 16:57, 8 January 2007 (EST)

• How to we block destructive morons like C.Mitch and Gaius Flaminus the Censor who want to trash the site? User:Platypus

• I wasn't here when Gaius Flaminus struck, but I went onto the recent changes page and I agree he sounds like a @#%$&. Post on my talk page if you agree. Fruitbat

• Has anyone tried Crusader or Paladin? They're not as boring as they may sound! Fruitbat

• What in the #^%* is going on!? I keep pressing "remember me" on the log in page and it keeps saying I'm not logged in! I don't know what's going on! Fruitbat17:05, 11 Feb. 2007 (EST).
  • How odd. It's working fine for me. --Platypus 16:41, 23 February 2007 (EST)

Princess Carkegee

• I'm confused about the Kid's adventure, Princess Carkegee. It seems to be about religion, in which not many people would take interest. The plot is mixed up and confusing, and it seems to be focusing on more then one religion at once. The title does not mix into the adventure. The adventure, I think, needs to be changed. User:Fruitbat
  • I'm glad I'm not the only one who couldn't make heads or tails out of that sotry. I'm not sure if it's meant to be Buddhist, Christian or what. --Platypus 09:03, 14 February 2007 (EST)
• Right now, I think I'm going to try to "re-vamp" Carkegee a little...Fruitbat.

Best wiki ever

• I admit obviously that I've only flicked through the non-adult sections and have paid the most attention to the Sex Romp story, but still, this is an excellent use of the wiki technology.

• I'm glad someone likes the site, since every day lately another jerk attacks and I waste a lot of time repairing things. Platypus

• Why is it that "Smutty Sex Romp" can have the word "sex" when the word "sex" is forbidden?

Oh - wait...I understand now...

• Dang! I accidentally messed up the regular status indicator! Fruitbat
• No biggie. Click on 'history' and go back to the revision before you messed it up.--Platypus 15:46, 5 February 2007 (EST)

Page counts

• The page counts seem wildly off.

• And how do you figure that? Many stories here have their own status bar. By going to the Special Page 'Most Linked To Pages', you can see precisely how many pages link to a status bar. So the pages counts aren't guesses. They're computed by the site itself. --Platypus 10:22, 9 February 2007 (EST)

Categories

Categories need to be created for each individual story. Makes it easier to group them and keep track of your pages. Also, I've created Category:Templates for all "Status" templates - Kwenn 12:45, 9 February 2007 (EST)

It isn't necessary to categorize every page in a story. Having a status bar unique to that story serves pretty much the same function. But a category for templates is a good idea. --Platypus 13:10, 9 February 2007 (EST)
