    It's fine. Yes, two threads for each post you make.

    Some people prefer to have only one collective post but that will only lead to either:

    A. you will write past the character limit and have to either make a second, third, or even fourth thread to keep your story going, or post chapters in the comments mixed in with player feedback.

    B. You will be forced to stop your thread and let it die in order to create a more efficient thread.

    ...What if someone were to make a library in minecraft and were to update that library with stories from the roleplay forum? I tried doing that last year but the server I had the library on went down

    By all means go ahead. You'll have to tell one of the forum admins to unpin Pyro's and pin yours instead, since he's been inactive he cannot update. So by all means Nikko go ahead.

    This is just me speaking freely but I feel like it would be much more interesting to have a more interesting catalogue than simply listing all the roleplays.

    It gets both difficult and tedious to keep track of everything on this section of the forums (Believe me, I know.) and yet I feel as though one of the biggest reason that people are often seeing this section as uninteresting or childish is because of the occasional troll who decides to write up a paragraph-long "story" and then act like an idiot while the actual writers in this section have to take the resulting head by proximity.


    What about a cataloguing system in which requirements must be met (such as a minimum amount of views, and/or a minimum amount of content). This system could include some sort of format in which users could write reviews and give final scores (which can be collected en masse and totalled into a score out of ten). The catalogue would simply provide information on the piece of writing such as title, author, genres, brief descriptions, and its user-rating. This way viewers can find good writing easily instead of having to assume something is good because someone famous wrote it, or it sucks because Steels wrote it (I can do the English occasionally...)

    We like to think of Steels as the roleplay forum overseer since the staff seem to neglect this part of the forum lol

    Agreed. He's like a private-eye, so to say, telling people what to and not to do.

    Or Evan from his story. He's building you all up to become amazing writers to be sent out as mercs for some weird evil plot that I still cannot comprehend

    I'm not a private eye, I just take care of things I care about and am also an enormous asshole.

    Think of me like a person who stands over you as you type and occasionally slaps you and tells you "stop being stupid".

    Except that I'm younger than most of you, don't read all of what most of you do, and occasionally sit raging to myself whenever I see a post that is worse than it should be or too popular for its quality.

    Regardless, speaking of "my stories", I was contemplating making a thread to let people get a taste for the flavors of writing I can do. I'm at the point where I'm more eager to start a new story than I am to finish the last 30 chapters of The Lesser Evil (which pisses me off, because I want to finish it).

    If I did do a thread I'd let people submit some ideas for characters, themes, settings, plot devices, etc, etc. and just generally piece it together in a bit of a preview, maybe even turn one of them into an actual story.
