## Continue unfinished stories

Post by random » Sat Mar 31, 2012 2:58 am

I know there is a rule where your not allowed to bump topics. However after going through the archive I found lots of unfinished stories. Maybe add a specific place where only authors who made the stories are able to finish them if they want.
Life is too short to have regrets.
I may have a strong opinion at times but I respect yours and hope you do the same.

I believe the archives are exempt from the bump rule. And I don't think zenev will care if you're finishing a story, but if you bump a really old story just to say "nice story" or something like that, you'd probably get in trouble.

From the rules:
THE BUMPING OF TOPICS IS PROHIBITED. If a topic has not had a reply in 2 months , make a new topic. This rule does NOT apply to role play sections, or story responses. This rule is to prevent topics that are very old from being risen to the top of the section and confusing a lot of people who may not know or remember what was going on at the time the post was made.
Just reply to the topic should you wish to finish it, or encourage the author to. The bump rule mainly applies for stuff that are not stories

What I plan to do in case of an unfinished story of my own that I want to finish after several months of neglect is simply continue it in a new thread and post a link to the previous chapters there, while simultaneously posting a link to the new story in the last chapter of the old story; using edit so that I won't bump the topic (unless you Zanev tell me this is an acceptable exception for such bumping, in which case I'd place the link in a new post in order to catch interested peoples' attention).

Okay; I thought that would violate the bumping rule.
