    Tag 'Em or Sack 'Em: Identifying Literature

    in Creative Works

    Posted

    Well, I would -PREFER- that [Feedback] threads be made so that the poster can keep everything nice and tidy in one thread. So multiple chapters can be fine in one thread as long as we iron out how to determine the start of a new chapter. I'll be thinking of things to put in a general rules thread, and feedback would need to be something that gets moderated.

    Tag 'Em or Sack 'Em: Identifying Literature

    in Creative Works

    Posted

    Another work in progress thread.

    Hi, folks.

    As you all probably know there are several different forms of literature. Just like the roleplaying sub-forum, I ask that you identify what type of literature are trying to write in the title by using "tags". It would be helpful to determine the type of work, and the genre, yes? Tags are where you announce those in the thread title.

    For example, Creative Writing topics usually have the imfamous [CW] before the name of the thread.

    [CW] - Creative writing - Fiction works. (If you're going for Novels, Poems, Haikus, Jokes, etc, you can specify by making your take [CW: Joke] or whatever.)

    [News] - A news column.

    [Journal] - A personal place to lay down one's experiences. I would appreciate any readers to refrain from posting in journals -here-, as they could also be placed under the forum known as the 'Trainer's Journal.' In a writing forum, I would encourage reading other threads and asking permission to post, unless it's granted in the first post by the original poster.

    [Essay]

    [Lyrics]

    [NF] - Non Fiction major works (Basically, dissertations or multiple page essays require multiple posts.

    [Review] - A "review". This is a conflicting type of literature could easily fall under content suited for other forums. In order for it to be fit for -this- forum, you must structure it so that it is thorough and contribute a substantial amount of information to it.

    [Critique] - An opinion thread. This one -again- is suspect to being suited for other forums, and you would need to make a logical argument worthy of falling on a professor's desk for a grade in order to justify putting it here instead. (All a moderator would really need to see is effort)

    [Draft/Plan/WP] - The preparation stage of the Writing Process - You -may- use this forum for your offline affairs, and if you use this tag, you tell users that they may critique your work. I want this to be useful and offer a place for essay help, since I know a lot of us are still having to write them for other parts of our lives.

    [Feedback] - This denotes the thread in which feedback for the author is given. It usually accompanies a partner CW or other type of thread. The purpose of it being to keep the main Thread clean for the reader and so that the Writer's Thread updates automatically when adding a new chapter.

    [Other]

    Keep in mind that I am taking suggestions for more tags for a while. If you think of other types of literature, call em out on this forum and I'll make additions!

    Examples of Thread tags: From you friendly Local Sensei; Hukuna.

    [CW: Short Story] : Denotes a thread being used for a short story purpose. This is where the writer will be writing a reoccurring ((or updating.)) a story. Other types of literature or CW ((such as Novel length or poems, jokes, etc...)) will be placed where Short Story is in the tag like so [CW: Novel]

    [CW: Type of Work/Feedback]: if Feedback is written here this mean the writer will not be updating the thread or doesn't mind feedback coming in through the same thread. ((this can be done by the writer only updating the Main Post to update, that is totally up to the writer.))

    [Feedback]: For simple Feedback purposes. Writer's should include a link to the actual story thread in here.

    [Feedback/WP] : this is to denote something someone wants feedback on for their story, but also wishes to have people know it is a heavy work in progress. That means feedback will more or less be taken into account or that community members can help the writer along in their writing process. It also let's reader know a LOT is subject to change with a work.

    If there are other tags you would like me to make examples of, just shoot me a pm or something. Most other tags don't need heavy explanation though. Hukuna Sensei out~

    What -NOT- to Write Here.

    in Creative Works

    Posted

    Hi folks. Title speaks for itself. [WIP thread]

    - Lemons.** We don't your stinkin' lemons (That's like......'50 Shades of Gross'.....except possibly written by amatuers, which makes it worse. (If you like to write lemons, there are other sites for it where you can refer users to your work if they have established interest beforehand. Some people may take offense or probably shouldn't see such content here on a pokemon forum. :D))

    - Political or Social "opinions" that are not in Newsletter format (...which means, it -does- have to be news! We have a Political Soapbox forum elsewhere for other stuff.)

    - Anything other forums cover. [basically, if it's not in an actual literary format (such as a news column, it shouldn't be in -this- forum.)]

    - Disrepectful content torwards potential -or- specific members of this community...or in general. Respect people.

    - Let's not go for beyond the macabre** (beyond jump scare or psychological types of fear appeal) here. Again, there's some people who may appreciate seeing it -here-.

    Friendly reminder that things will be a work in progress...as this is a shiny new forum. I -am- happy to take further suggestions on things that should be considered bad to put here.

    Yes, Aces, You do have -another- place on this forum for your mature content.**

    The result was rather unsatisfying for multiple parties (including some in the winner's circle) and the means of victory was hardly competitive. Of course there will be bickering. The bottom line was Vermillion likely threw a last ditch 'Hail Mary' and it paid off. There are semantics that make the win sketchy and there is most definitely a reason the rules are going to be changed. Until then, The game's over.

    It's officially the time for griping and calling foul. I'm not going to lose my friends over it though. I can point to several things I did and didn't do to contribute to my team losing, there's a certain montra I believe in.

    "Let he who hasn't sinned cast the first stone."

    My performance was far from perfect, and I think that equally should be a part of consideration as to why Cerulean went down. I did my complaining yesterday. Now's the time to own my faults and prepare for next season.

    Hmm.. I could post some incriminating logs here, but I won't.

    1. There was at least 1 bagel planned this week.

    2. an outside source pushed for a second and it was denied.

    3. both plans were carried out and one alliance remained.

    GG, Vermillion.

    Mhh... Alright, I´m not gonna write like a total moron anymore ^-^ I´mma k33p watchin´ muh gramma

    I´ll watch my grammar, but I´ll still torture everyone with the comic sans font and colors ;)

    Fair.....I guess.....mumblemumble

    With 10 points, that sounds like a fair and reasonable system. Screw up 10 times - You´re out. That´s alright. I´m going to be a good boy (nah, not really. But I´m not going to collect points...)

    It's not about screwing up ten times. There are some offenses that warrent more than 1 warning point. The safety net is just a bit smaller. Still isn't unreasonable.

    Well, how does someone become an Ace Member anyway? Just curious ;3

    Donations, Reaching 500 posts and purchasing it in the site shop, or having beaten the Reborn League when it was in circulation (three most noteable methods, and most recognized.)
