Novelas:FAQ

This page provides some help for participants at this wiki website.

How will other people find my story?
The Archives contain lists of links to existing stories. Edit the archives to include links to any story that you write at this website. Also, make use of the portal pages such as the science fiction portal. The best stories can be nominated as [[Featured fiction.

Names for Stories
Be creative and don't panic if someone else has already used the name that you want to use. If you wanted to call your story "The Blue" you can use an alternative name such as "The Blue: a story by Foo".

How do I name new chapters of my story?
For short stories you can keep everything on a single webpage. For longer stories, feel free to create chapters and pace each chapter on its own page. You can use subpages for chapters. If the main page for your story is "The Blue" then you can add chapters by naming the pages in this way: "The Blue/Chapter 1" or "The Blue/Dirty Deal".

Categories. If you have multiple wiki pages for a story, create a category that will hold all of the pages of the story.

Someone has changed my story!
That's part of the normal wiki experience. The reason for writing stories here is that you can collaborate with other people. If you do not like the changes that were made to a story, get a copy of the older version of the story and place it on a new page. You can ask other people not to edit that copy is you do not like the edits that they make.

But if there were unwelcome changes such as something intentionally offensive, or malicious, then change the story back to the good version. If someone is damaging the collaborative spirit of this website then an administrator can warn the trouble-maker and block the offender if they can't learn to play with others.

Should I wait until I'm done with my story, or should I post the rough draft now ?
Put a copy here now. You might attract a good collaborator or two who will help you write the story.
