:aef: Good day.

So you're here to post a story arc, great! However there's some rules you must follow in order to do so! As well as some tips on getting started.

Since you've probably just come here to hear the rules, I'll give them first.

1) Keep your arc to one topic
Let's say you have a three-parter, AEF Part 1, 2, and 3. All three of those parts should be announced and advertised in the same topic. This reduces spam, and can organize things better. Any parts relating to the arc remain in the same topic; however if you're making a new arc it can have it's own topic.

2) Leave information about your arc
We want to hear a brief overview or description of your arc. No one will join if you just say "Meet at AE in Atlas Park on [Insert date here]". Give details! Is it an epic adventure across dimensions? A magical quest to the mountainous regions of Paragon? Or what?

3) Leave time details

If you're going to announce when you're arc is, leave a date and time when you'll be running it. Feel free to add it to the calendar as well!

4) WIPs are allowed, but make sure you make that clear

Add "[WIP]" to the title if your arc is a Work In Progress. If you're submitting a WIP you don't need to have time details, or leave too much information, but when you finish it: edit the topic instead of making a new one, and add in information when it's finished.

5) Make an "Attending" list

Only 8 people can be on a team at the same time. 7 if you exclude yourself. Be sure to make a list of who is attending and who isn't, and BE SURE to tell people when you're full.

That covers the rules. Now for the help. I'll provide a template for you to use for making a topic for your arc! Feel free to edit it at will. Fill in the "<insert here>" parts to your own needs.

Code:
 
[big][big][center]<insert title here>[/center][/big][/big][hr]
[b][center]<(Optional) Insert Part # here>[/center][/b]

[b]Backstory/Information:[/b]
[b]Running time:[/b] <Time>, <Date>
[b]Attending:[/b]
[b]1)[/b]
[b]2)[/b]
[b]3)[/b]
[b]4)[/b]
[b]5)[/b]
[b]6)[/b]
[b]7)[/b]


If you use this code, it will look something like this:
