Revision as of 17:54, 26 July 2012
Feel free to add new princesses to the Princesses'List as long as you keep them interesting. (copy-paste the source code of the template page in order to maintain the lay-out)
Try not to make major edits to other's characters or stories unless they abandoned it midway trough or gave you their permission. spelling/grammar edits are always welcome.(adding a separate road to an existing story is also OK. Unless it interferes with the rest of the story)
Any modern technology is a no-go. a primitive flash grenade would be perfectly acceptable tho.
Magical equipment can be freely imagined, but don't make something like a magic mobile phone *sigh* - this isn't a comedy >Hates comedies< there's telepathy for a reason ^^.
Keep the story as realistic as possible in a fantasy setting with magic, dragons, werewolves, vampires, etc. (PS. while supernatural creatures are certainly fearsome, they can't do anything ridiculous like punching down a castle wall - unless we're talking about something the size of a dragon maybe..)
Don't overdo it with the supernatural abilities - no creature is immortal. Tough some can be a pain in the ass to kill.
mowing down an enemy platoon with fireballs is a fun idea. Wiping out an army by dropping a meteor from the sky? not so much. Might allow it if there's a whole army of mages and significant set-up time involved.
try to keep spells and magical applications consistent with other stories - you can imagine new branches of magic for yourself or a cult, but don't change the default magic used by everyone else.
you are allowed to create a non-human Princess, but only if you provide an interesting background story as how that came to be.
Contributions with poor spelling/grammar are fine as long as the story-line's good(and they're still readable), I can edit them when I like them, and I'll delete what I don't like regardless of spelling/grammar xp.
I only created this story recently - so I ll be adding to this guide as I see things I can't live with.
(if you don't already know how to edit pages.. plz use another story as a test subject >.< you can find plenty of exercise material in the Pit of Abandoned Stories.)
