Though this is NOT an official thread, I still found it a good idea to clear up a few things about threads currently running on this forum...
The policy is essencially the same as the Fan Fiction forum. However, there are no moderators. Please do NOT use this defective feature to address non-appropriate voice, I beg everyone!
You can see a fairly larger number of threads, than those actually running as RP. The reason is, while some are in fact abandoned long ago, some Roleplays use multiple theads.
There are 2 Roleplays active at this moment: The World of Azeroth , and the Sweeping Tide . Both have a great deal of characters common, due to both plot reasons, and the lack of interested newcomers.
These roleplays consist of three threads: The RP thread is restricted to the story itself (no comments, please!), while the OOC thread is dedicated to address any comments, and post new character sheets ( you are free to enter this thread whenever you wish). The STF (story thus far) thread is created in favor of newcomers: you don't have to read 15+ pages to get the main points of the story, actually!!!
You are encouraged to join these Roleplays anytime you want. However, keep in mind, that you have to post your Character sheet to the (OOC) thread first!!! Don't enter the (RP) thread without announcing to others, that you are planning to do so... Use the (STF) Thread, and the latest posts, to find an appropriate entry point for your character(s). If I haven't mentioned it before: you are allowed to run multiple characters in the same RP (but don't abuse it: 2-3 chars are more than enough). Feel free to interact with NPC's or even play them for a short duration!!! These RPs use an overwhelming majority of Aliiance characters at the moment, but due to the nature of the storyline, those favoring Orcs, Trolls, Tauren, or even Undead, might also form valuable party (and forum) members.
Feel free to start a new thread if you have a good story arch, to take others' characters along!!! The first one to announce a new thread is usually regarded as DM (dungeonmaster): he/she has all the moderation privileges in that particular thread. The DM might also determine the course of the storyline as well. However, the already running threads use a somewhat different, consensus system. This means you can post your ideas onto the (OOC) or Private Message, and they will get voted over.
As you see, there are quite different people on this forum already, with different story-writing skills. Don't disappoint you, if you cannot write a page' worth wonderful sub-story! You won't be kicked out if you ane not able to write more than 10 lines each post. Those who don't have English as their first language, should not get disappointed, either. Just keep a close eye on the storyline you have joined, and keep up with others systhematically.
