The Rules

From The Writerium - the wiki for writers

Jump to: navigation, search

What goes here?

  • Lists. "Things I Would Do If I Were The (Character Type)" lists, lists of common medical screwups people make when writing hospital stories, and lists of other odds and ends. If it helps a writer, it's listable.
  • Genres. Pages for genres and what makes them what they are. Also point out their absurdities and various twists you could add.
  • Weapons, how they were used, why they were developed, and why they aren't used anymore. Historical notes are also particularly useful, particularly on the lifestyles of other cultures.
  • Common absurdities and blunders found in genres, races, etc.
  • Tips and ideas for avoiding common problems and absurdities in writing.
  • Pages on various aspects of writing mechanics and literary devices.
  • And more.  ;)


What doesn't go here?

  • Do-and-Don't lists about writing and character creation.
  • Adult/mature content.
  • Pages dedicated to trope/cliche examples. That's what TVTropes is for.  ;)
  • Pages on tropes/cliches that have nothing to do with writing mechanics, worldbuilding, character creation, or storytelling.
  • Looooooong lists of trope examples. (Keep examples limited from 3-5 when using examples to explain something.)
  • Pages on fantasy creatures that were invented by modern authors.


What else?

  • If you are unfamiliar with editing MediaWiki pages, please visit this tutorial first.
  • Everything must be written in proper English. Correct spelling, capitalization, and punctuation are required.
  • Try to be as objective as possible.
  • Trope examples are required now and then, but keep them limited to about 3-5 examples and keep them on the relevant page.
  • Please do not put big huge honkin' pictures up on the pages, nor pictures hosted on sites that do not belong to you and/or do not allow hotlinking.
  • Links to your sources are always good - if for example you put up medical information, a link to a medical webpage backing it up would be extra helpful.
