Want to join the inter-dimensional role-playing story? [Hint: It promises to be wildly exciting! ] Here are the basic rules we'll be operating by...
1) 1st person past-tense. Narrate from your character's POV. Ex. I turned around suddenly to see a shadow disappear. Why hadn't I heard anything?
2) Make sure you keep up with where the story is at the moment. The setting will probably change pretty frequently; we want to make sure we all stay on the same page
3) DON'T try to narrate what someone else's character is doing! Or make things up about them/describe them. Please leave that to the other writers, unless you've specifically asked them and gotten permission or something.
>>>Note: Yes, this means when our characters interact, we'll need to work on this collaboratively in order for anything to happen. That's what makes it an RPG! We can do that online at these meetings, posting back and forth, use the chat feature in pairs or as a group, etc.
Ex. none of this: I was walking with Elle (someone else's character) when she started screaming at me. Startled, I tried to calm her down but... Get the idea? Elle's writer may not be very happy about the outburst you just gave her. :/
4) You can have more than 1 character, especially if you plan to participate pretty often. These might include multiple travellers or people they meet from the other dimensions. Just keep up with who's who
5) Multiple people can narrate one event. If we just went through a porthole and someone else already wrote the scene from their character's POV, you can add a piece about how your character experienced it as long as you don't totally change the sequence of events
6) If you want to include a flashback/dream sequence/vision of the future or something like that, please label it clearly in your post title. That way no one gets too confused with what's going on
...Okay that's what I can come up with for now! Add your suggestions/concerns/questions!
