Short Story Submission


Disclaimer:

The intended use of this section is to allow players to submit their own creative short stories and then take the chance for it to become a canonised story. There is no monetary requirement for this, all you need to do is follow the rules and guidelines and submit the story. This does not replace the canonisation request or its purpose. Lastly, please be aware that the time it takes to canonise a story varies on availability and workload of the Story team.



Rules & Guidelines:
  • Shorts should not be used to canonise a player character or player faction,
  • Shorts should not be used to canonise roleplay by players, (1)
  • The Story team may, at their own discretion, waive the above rule. (2)
  • Shorts should be presented well,
  • Shorts should be written in understandable English,
  • Images can be included for illustrative purposes and should not exceed forum rule limitations,
  • Submissions must be posted here,
  • Once submitted and accepted, the short comes under Story control, (3)
  • Story may edit the short thereafter.

(1) The purpose of this is to discourage people from trying to canonise their own roleplay by way of a story short, and circumventing the RCR process.
(2) Due to the nature of making a story interesting, we anticipated that there may be some overlap of Player RP and what is written in a short. This rule is intended to allow Story to accept a short without breaking its own rule if its fair to do so.
(3) The purpose of this is to allow story to make edits for small mistakes such as spelling and grammar after it is accepted, and to also act as a catch all if mistakes are made on Story's part.
