I've stopped seeing stories in the vault. They look more like a bunch of grabs for attention.
I didn't join Machinauts, and I left outnumbered because I knew it would be too long. Much like the Yore of Almire, except in that case I just didn't know what to do. It's really hard to do a skeleton story, so I think I'll just have to put more restrictions, like making a map.
And yes, that means that in my previous stories you could literally go wherever the f*** you wanted.

When did stories stop being stories?
And no, I'm not saying you're all bad storytellers, because that would be rude and hypocritic.
Your stories are original, though not compelling, and they lose their point or intended read within a few posts.

Let's see how badly this goes.

So.
I'll be creating maps, and a story skeleton and the like.
