Post Attention BA Storywriters - Interactive Story.

I've been planning to bring back the interactive story section for the site, and there's one section of the forums specializing in interactive stories - the Escapist's Haven. So I came here to ask if anybody would be interested in starting up or getting involved in an Interactive Story for the main site.

The main difference from the EH is that it has to be set in the world of Zelda. You can make up a character of your own if you wish, as long as it would make sense in Hyrule. So you can create your own Goron, but not a talking half shark/half elf. :3 And be aware that the next person who writes the next part of the interactive story will probably also continue the story using that character.

Re: Attention BA Storywriters - Interactive Story.

Well, that can only be seen by certain people in clans, and very few people visit it. This one is for the people on the main site who aren't active enough on the forums to see the Zelda RPG, which is for some reason a restricted board in the Clans section.

I'll likely be able to link the two together to increase the activity of both pretty soon, assuming Jason will listen to my suggestions about the re-positioning of the board.

EDIT: Oh, and the ZRPG requires approved characters or whatever. The interactive story is just an interactive story, that can star Link or Zelda or some guy made up by one of the writers at the time.

Re: Attention BA Storywriters - Interactive Story.

Yes... Keep the Zelda RPG too serious writers who won't mess up the story or just post stupid posts...

I approve of this suggestion.

Re: Attention BA Storywriters - Interactive Story.

Well, interactive story posts are sent to an e-mail and have to be approved, so nothing too messed up will get through, but yes, the Zelda RPG is more "hardcore roleplayer that needs approved characters and a degree in English", while the IS is designed for even normal members to be able to have fun helping to write a story.

Don't forget that the ZRPG is the Dictatorship to the EH's Republic, what with the super-strict rules and procedures and stuff. =P *Will consider the IS*

Re: Attention BA Storywriters - Interactive Story.

I'm having quite fun in the Zelda RPG. Just follow the rules and everything will be allright.

I didn't know that interactive stories were done like that. Will there be guidelines the writer will have to compile to? So that they only write the story, what they say and whom they meet, and not the plot?
