Archived Faction Story Section

[Wumpatron]

The title is self explanatory. Just as how Roleplayers have a Lore Story section, have the same thing set up on the forums for Factions players. It would be a place for them to write their faction lore and stories. Essentially an area for the factions players to create and share their own writing with the community. There are talented individuals there who have stories they want to share but no proper channel in which to share them. That's all I have for this. Any comments or questions feel free to have within the comment section below.

+1 yes please
When I see those declarations, like the rise of an empire or something along those lines, I think the writing's pretty neat. I'd love to see a section devoted to that.

Well if we are comparing to the lore section, they have Lore Announcements and Events, and also a Lore Discussion (which includes the story subsection)

But those more or less have more to do with a way for Roleplayers to reach staff for discrepancies or for staff to let roleplayers know about changes in lore or changes that will effect the lore. There is already a Factions Announcement thread. However, I suppose that a Factions Discussion thread could be used. Sort of a way for factions players to address matters effecting them without having to refer to the general discussion and feature and idea section. Just a way for factions players to brainstorm ideas with each other on how they want to go about different things. The sole purpose of this thread is my noticing the Factions section of the forums is quite small in comparison to the roleplay section as well as that I have heard several Factions players stating that they have many things written. Stories for their factions and so on. So why not create a channel to share that work? If Roleplayers are allowed it then why can't Factions players?

I am not a Factions player so much here so if you do make any suggestions, if you could explain them so that I and others can understand the points that would be appreciated. All I can do is speculate on what your implications are for any suggestions you provide.

One would argue that roleplayers use that section more than factions players ever would

But one, myself included, could also argue that it can't be compared if factions don't have a comparable channel to attempt it. I just heard from all of the threads revolving around Factions wanting to be in the lore because they have these stories and histories for their factions written out. That made me think that perhaps they could make use of a channel to share these stories on, because as of now no such place exists.
