Instead of posting single stories, is it possible to create Story Series?

As in short stories? That would be chapters.


If it is long stories you're talking about, just post another one with a similar title.

Perhaps a literature portal might be better than one exclusively for stories? Stuff like poems and scripts probably should be allowed in addition to stories.

Stories seem to be the most common of the the 3 though, plus Suyo has put a lot of work into the Story Portal. So unless it's an easy job to turn an unfinished Story Portal into a Literature Portal, that may not happen.

Shouldn't be all that hard. You type up a script or a poem just like you would type up a story. No changes would really need to be made other than the name of the portal.

Well, how about we just leave the Story forum for that? (and maybe change the name to Literature forum) We could just have poems and scripts and Bios and whatever you want there. Anything story-related can go in the story portal.

Thing is nothing actually needs to be changed. Literature Portal does not have the same ring to it as Story Portal, and it really drags on.Just having "Writing" would be better. The categories I was talking about could come into this. Submit a writing piece, then choose if it is a story, poem etc etc. It can still be called Story Portal.

Superyoshi wrote:Q: What is the Story Portal?
A: It will be just like the levels portal. It was requested by our user MessengerOfDreams, and is now being coded by me.

Q: Can I send in stories which aren't mine?
A: Nope, sorry. They must be written by yourself. There will be a Story Rules Thread when opening the Portal.

Q: Are there any differences to the LDP?
A: Yes. All chapters will need to be approved by a moderator first. Basically, you have a story which is kinda a container for all the chapters you write.

Q: What is already done?
  • The database
  • Displaying Stories
  • Story List
Q: What is left to do?
  • Submitting stories (0% done)
  • Collaboration Stories (20% done)
  • Moderator control on stories (20% done)
  • Button on Header (0% done, as Runouw must do it for me)
Q: How do I apply for being a Story Moderator?
A: You can't yet, also we have already some people subject to be those. If we ever need more, we'll discuss what to do.

Q: What to do if my question wasn't listed here, or if I have questions?
Post here.

3 things. 1, how far are you in the story portal? 2, when will it be released? can you give us a exact or estimate date? and 3. can you add paintings to sm63 for the story portal? thanks. pianoboy8

1. Why the heck did you quote the whole post when you could have just posted one sentence?
2. It will be released when it is released
3. .......WTF do SM63 paintings have to do with a story? :o.o:
