Introduction
In a nutshell: The Novelas wiki is the site to post your stories and creative writing projects, and where a community can collaborate with the writing effort.

The Novelas wiki, also known as the Fiction wiki, is a site hosted by Wikia.com with the goal of being a repository and forum for writers to submit works, collaborate on works, and comment on others' works. Use of the MediaWiki software means an extraordinary amount of flexibility for this site, such as customization of the sidebar, sitenotice, and Monobook.css, the standard skin for the site. Writers can edit almost any page in this site, as well as move them to another page name and add them to their watchlist. Contributions are recorded in the histories of individual pages and in the logs for the writers. As a wiki, this site follows the GFDL (see disclaimer at bottom).

Why You Should Contribute

 * As part of a community, you will receive encouragement every once in a while that will prompt you to keep going. Writing a long story isn't an easy task, and with a community here, as well as lots of other stories a few clicks away to get ideas from, your stories will be much easier to write.
 * Many writers work better when they know that there are others that will give them feedback as well as read their work, fix any errors, and rate the works.
 * Novelas also supports a variety of projects ranging from large, established constructed worlds to budding wikistories. Participation in the community will help you and others enjoy the art of creative writing and feel part of a significant collaborative project.
 * Even if you aren't the writing type, the collection we have is immense, and you may find great pleasures in simply reading our collection, rating the submissions, and helping out with organization.
 * Note that others can change your story, just as you can change others. This is primarily a good thing, as this often involves polishing, expanding, proofreading, and commenting, and negative changes can be undone easily. You can recover previous versions by clicking on the history tab at the top and then clicking on any saved version.
