In this forum, the players get to share their characters' views on the world, whether those characters are actually being played or invented for a book-writing purpose.
Any IC topic's fair game here, from the different ways of cleaning fish through conning dragons out of their eggs to summoning and slaying daemons.
There are only three rules, and they are as follows:
1) Anything you post in this forum may find its way to a book in-game.
2) Works which are either too offensive or are used to turn OOC knowledge into IC information may end up being removed.
3) If the author of a piece indicates the writing in question is only found in place X, with person Y, or is just extremely rare, the information found here is to be considered OOC until your character travesl to X, gets the book from Y, or receives the author's permission to stumble upon a copy.
Maps are best posted though you can also use a site such as to upload your charts.
Books are best summarized (no need to write all 300 pages if many details are irrelevant, though you may if you want to). Feel free to post on topics already covered by others, and even to comment on their flaws. Also, feel free to post blatant untruths if it will suit your theories, get your readers killed, make for a better read or fill in gaps in your knowledge.
Post the author, age of the book and where copies can be found if you can, but also remember that information does get lost, pages are spoiled, and not everyone's a compelling writer to begin with. That's no problem at all; poor spelling and grammar merely add character.
