Announcing the new Story-Script system for Instant RPs!
Posted: Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:26 am
Well I did a thing.
While trying to figure out how to send a chat log of an RP we did in Instant to Swix, I ran into numerous problems. Mainly, it was junk! The story was upside down, full of timestamps and ooc, and difficult to display in any way that didn't make your eyes bleed.
So, innovation came out of necessity.
I found scripts to remove timestamps and OOC. One to flip the whole thing so it could be read top to bottom like a normal story. Somewhere to plunk it so it could be read easily, and, very importantly, on mobile devices. A lot of recent RP has been done on Instant, and I didn't think it fair we could lose stories just as important as forum ones. There needed to be a way they could be archived as well. So without further ado... The first story to use the Story-Script System, a tale set in the Mirrorverse:
The World is Covered in Black Tendrils...
A little bird tells me Pax's own librarian, Jent, has been hoarding some logs. There might be a couple gems we can convert for the future...
