With recent whatnots here, I just wanted to say a short thing.

If someone wants to remove their story there is no reason they can't. Its not like it becomes copyright once posted here. Its entirely down to the discretion of the author. However, the author can't delete their thread so a 'removed' story will stay up until someone notices. Its impossible for me to rake through everything posted to check for such things... its beyond even considering. Therefore I'm making a polite request for people to tell me if they wish for their story to be removed. I will, naturally, ask why and try to understand the feelings behind it. Maybe even try to encourage you to reconsider because I'm selfish and I like reading the things here. But at the end of the day I'll take it down if asked.

But you need to tell me okay?

Thanks.
Lou

Reminder: if an author wishes to not heed the two week suggested waiting time minimum on posting stories derived from in game events, it is a good idea to either not name names, or better yet, ask the named person's permission before posting.

Bump.


bending the two-week guideline is only acceptable if ALL named people within a fiction give consent. Lot of meta pouring out in the last few days, and concerns have been expressed by another player who is avidly enjoying the tales, but now read too much meta.

Post with care, but please keep posting.

Thank you.

It's not hard.

1. Don't read stories you think could be meta for you, especially if (like me) you are prone to not being able to remember ic and ooc sometimes.
2. If you think it might be meta, don't do it.
3. Ask, send a tell- Did you tell me XXXXXX ic or did I just read it ooc?

It's not hard.

Please don't use the Library to metagame.
