Talk:It’s Glorfindel

Hi Athena,

Great to see you take up the challenge and start another chapter! Though since it's not quite finished, I marked it as 'claimed'. This means you now have a week to enter a full chapter (but if you need longer, I don't see that'd be a problem). Read more on claiming here.

You might also want to read our page on entering chapters. There you can find all the guidelines on chapter length, how to enter the options you see at the end, etc. Getting Started is also a good place to, well, get started and learn all about reading, writing, commenting and everything else that goes on at this site.

Welcome aboard, and I hope this will be the first of many!

Yours,

PS: If you don't manage to finish the chapter within the week set for claiming, I'll mark it as a short (or unfinished) chapter. This means other authors are invited to help you finish it, but of course you're still free to work on it yourself as well.
Quick recap of the guidelines: we aim for chapters with a word count between 500 and 1500 words. Typed up in a word processor like MS Word, that's about one to three pages. You now have about 100 words. Also, all chapters end in two options for what happens next, which lead on to two new chapters. Please read 'entering chapters'. --Admin 10:29, 26 November 2007 (GMT)

Short Chapter

Athena,

It's been a week now since you started this chapter, which means the claiming period is over. We love all contributions, big and small, but chapters at the very least need to have two options at the end, because otherwise you create a dead end. That is why I've now marked this chapter as 'short' (which may be read as a euphemism for unfinished), inviting other authors to help finish it.

It's now also a proper chapter (this normally happens when you add the options), which means there's a link from the front page of this interactive story, and I'll also post a link from the main archive, so everybody knows it's here. Of course you are still very welcome to edit the text yourself.

Everybody else interested in working on this chapter: please read about editing Short Chapters.
