Ending a Game

[Ghostphoenix713]

If you or your partner requests to end the game, who do you tell to have it archived? Because I'd still like to access the posts for late reference, but I don't want it clogging space in the actual category it happens to live in right now. Can someone help me?

If the game is unfinished it just stays where it is, there's no archive like that on E. :-)

Okay, thank you. I just wondered because I saw the Completed Games spot and didn't know if it needed to be moved there or deleted or something.

Completed games are for games that have reached a literary conclusion.  If someone were to read it from start to finish, they would come away with the impression that it was a complete 'thing in itself'.  A game where one or more parties simply decides that the story won't be continued stays in the board that it was started in, and gradually drifts off into the deeper pages.

You can bookmark the thread if you haven't already.  You'll be able to do an F5 search in your bookmarks to find the story at any time in the future.

Thank you, both of you. I always bookmark for ease of access.

And if you don't want it cluttering your bookmarks, what I do is place links in my O/O thread.
