Restrictions and Warnings
- There are to be NO Frondespael writing submissions. While we are aware that this is an aspect of the Anglian Culture and our lore, we are a family-friendly server with younger players just as much as we have older players. If you submit one of these works, it will be rejected. This rule also goes for all erotica-esque stories. If your article would have a PG rating as a movie, that is fine but please do not get graphic or descriptive concerning sexual or affectionate acts in these writing pieces.
- In addition to the above, please do not use an excess of swear words in your submission. While the staff are aware that swear words exist, some are rather sensitive, and we encourage trying to use the swears/insults found on this document whenever possible: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P9c-fCeRhwUsGH_mHIhMouAiZzhTNudrlxBDsIy5Qog/edit?usp=sharing
- If that is not feasible, still please try to keep the swear word usage a minimum.
- Do not bump your submissions. The staff will see them the first time they are posted and will get to work analyzing them for quality and lore compliancy. If you have not received a reply within a week or two, feel free to start a private conversation with me (HydraLana) on the forums to address the issue.
- We will not accept any work over 1750 words. While we are aware that real books or collections have more than that number, we do not want to create whole textbooks on the Wiki. The goal here is to provide interesting, quirky and perhaps occasionally useful pieces of lore to the player base.
- Keep in mind that despite a player's lore omnipotence thanks to access to the Wiki, the people you would be writing as would not know vast amounts of information. People, unless they were of a higher class, were often very locally minded for the Medievalesque period MassiveCraft's lore possesses. That is not to say that the population of Regalia and beyond are unintelligent, but an Altalar would not know that Estel is a Seraph construct from millennia ago, just as a Circci would not remember a clear, perfect picture of Meraic times.
- Please do not glorify your own characters. Even if your character is a writer and they have been published, you will still have to put "Anonymous" as the author.
