What is this section for?
Can I comment on the work of other people?
Thank you all, and happy writing!
This forum section is here to allow you to share your own writing with the community, and in this section it can be about pretty much anything - any setting or concept unrelated to the world of Altera.
What can I write?
It remains entirely up to you. Poetry or prose; character monologues or thought tracks; diary entries, journals, the musings of characters; songs, rhymes, even plays - you are free to explore any form of writing you choose.
In terms of more mature themes, we would ask that writing that might be inappropriate or disturbing audiences be kept to a minimum, and that there are relevant warning tags both in the thread title and on the post itself detailing the nature of the content.
As to how far is too far, we cite that anything venturing too much into the "M" rating is inappropriate for this forum and thus subject to removal without warning. Details of content specific to age ratings can be found here, but do be sure to scroll down the page for explanations of each: {Click}
