Topic: When finished...?

[grdell]

When a story has come to an end - whether because it has run its due course, or for some other reason - is there some proper closing procedure? Is it moved to an archive? Or is it simply locked and ignored, left to moulder at the bottom of the stack of current stories?

[Trieste]

You can lock it and link it in your personal thread list, if you have a wiki page or a post with them in your O&O. Many do that.

Thank you much!

[Trieste]

You're welcome.

We now have a board to house completed threads.

Wouldn't a board in the actual games threads be better so that dead/completed games with those specific tags can be stored there?

Someone might well browse the dead stories board and come across something more extreme than they wanted to.

*Shrugs* Dunno, it just seems like we have forums for stories with tags already organised so one more board in each category for 'finished' works makes sense to me.

[Bliss]

If you actually go look at the board which I linked above, you can clearly see that as we're moving the stories, we're tagging the titles with the source boards they came from.

Edit: And to clarify: It is NOT a board for dead stories, it's for completed stories.

[Greenthorn]

Should we then link you to our completed stories?

[Bliss]

Yes - send me the link in PM to any completed stories you want moved, I'll take care of moving, locking, and tagging it. :)

[Greenthorn]

pshawwwww

All my stories are tagged!

*polishes the apple and places it on Bliss' desk*

And now they're moved! :)
