I echo Muro's sentiments. An excellent place for anyone to start. Go to Comment

Strolen- In the line where you say don't do errors, you spelled errors wrong. Just throwing that out there, cause bad grammer and spelling, as you write, "Nothing screams I don't care than submittting someting with lot erors!" Second bullet, top. Otherwise, a good sub for newbies. Also, one question (seeing as I am new), when do I stop being "Dazed and confused?" Go to Comment

Very Good Go to Comment

This somehow needs to be sent to all new members of the site in as a link in a PM somehow so they can read it. As a matter of fact a codec of helpful subs should be sent to every new members as a sort of required reading if you will to help them along. Possibly to help stave off those thinking they need to copy and paste other works to get good votes and focus more on their own work. I likes it... yess I's doos' Go to Comment

Oh, I missed this series of subs somehow. Good work Strolen! There will never come a time when this sub and its relatives, are not useful to our community. Go to Comment

A warning and a promise. I like it! I STILL remember how much I agonized over that first submission, but as a result I spent a lot of time on it and it showed. Wish I could have read this first, though. Go to Comment

I just listened to this and thought that it was a good resource for us all, but especially for authors new to this site:

Excellent article. This also served to remind me that I really need to write my first submission. Go to Comment

I kinda wish I would have had this to read before my first post. I almost got my face chewed off, and it was quite the shock.

It would help me assimilate this sub if there were a few headers.

This has given me an idea for an improvement to the citadel. I'll think about it for a bit and post something on the forum. Go to Comment

Update: Since we didn't have anything for the newbie area of the citadel area, I figured this was at least a start. I made it a wiki so if you know of other additions that would fit (or new categories to add) this is a great place to put them all together!

Hope you join in and add to it.

Formatting: H1 for the main categories, H2 for the submission links. Go to Comment

Update: Added But Great Artists Steal by Wulfhere because it is a great idea! Go to Comment

This is a really cool idea. Could probably be a nice fairytale of sorts about the powers of friendship with a little work. Great tale, with useful hooks. Nice one.

Wow, that was not what I was expecting.

Muro brings up a great point, buildings that influential would most certainly cause an impact. I mean, you know, an historical one. After their deaths, and the immediate collapses, I could see an endless parade of revivalists, archiechtural taboos, and official investigations. Survivors would be left wondering, did Sid and Jir really sabotage their own masterpieces? Did one of them do it? Was could cause them to do such a thing?

I thought this was a touching tale actually, and was surprised when the 'towers fell' as i read it. Very nice. Its also somehow allegorical, but i can't quite place my finger on the lesson learned. Beautiful story! Their deaths and incomparable talents will be mourned, i am sure, tragic as their passing was. (I can only imagine how many lives were lost that day.)

I can also see the Sidjirian architectural technique being taught in the future, despite the futility of it all. I can see neo-sidjirianism.

I have to use this somehow.
