I requested a new category in the tips and tricks section: a story writing section, to post this list. Let's hope it gets made  |

Started work on a update for this.
Clarifying and expanding on all the points, adding in examples, gathering links of both good and bad stories
Would like the community to make some suggestions:
DOs
DON'Ts
Great Stories (and why)
Bad Stories (and why)
Anything else that could help this
also going to expand to other sections over Easter, with lists for Stages and Jerseys (will ask for help in due time)

DO - Let your readers know whats going on. If your not gonna update, say so. People are more likely to come back if they know whats happening. They might even be able to help. |

@TheManxMissile, this is a great thread to let starters know (including me) how to make a attractive and fun story! |

Maybe you could put the DO - DON'T list in the original/first post of this thread? Also, it might be nice if you could make a column with DO | DON'T? |

Can people please PM me a list of their favorite and least favorite stories?
Just want to compile a list of the best, and the worst, stories here on Daily. I understand worst is hard, but the best shouldn't be too hard.
This way it avoids my personal preferences, and might get some of the older stories i might have missed.
The new list stands at 15 do's and 15 dont's, with a few examples for certain do's and dont's. The only thing left is a list of good (and maybe bad) stories.
Also still open to peoples suggestions of do's and dont's, also via PM preferably

Making a list of the worst stories seems a bit harsh, no? |

Simple. Stories which didn't start are always bad. So you can fill up the list easily, there are so many stories which didn't start

There are no bad stories... ok thats not even true.
It is possible to make bad stories, and if people take offence then sorry.
Ian, a story of yours actually appears as an example for a Don't!!! So suck it!
Should go up tomorrow
