Storylines & Complements

Storylines

You may have noticed it – the little purple tags next to your comments are linking them to particular storylines.

It should help reconnect comments spread across threads, when they belong to a particular storyline. The definition of those is rather fluid, but in general, it tends to revolve about a commonality of protagonist or group of protagonists (they are easy to spot, they are the one(s) driving the storyline plot forward… ).

Since the tagging is mostly manual, and there are quite a few homonymous characters, you may still find comments that shouldn’t belong in the storyline. It will take some time to clean.

Of course, some comments do belong to multiple storylines, particularly when there are some cross-overs (e.g. protagonists from the Pop*in story going to the Flying Fish Inn, and meeting Arona!)

New feature: Complement Storylines

This new feature is now available ; basically, it should allow you to continue (or insert) on a storyline, especially those long gone… For the storylines that already have their own distinct threads, you don’t need really the feature but you can also use it.

How to do?

You can go to a storyline, let’s say… Dead Dick Tracy, Peaslander, etc.

If you find a particular storyline you like that is missing (I guess nobody regrets the Tw’Elves,… but who knows? )

You normally will see a little link with the replies. COMPLEMENT.

Let’s say you just want to continue the story. You go the last comment, and you click on the COMPLEMENT link of the last comment.

Normally, if you got there, the hardest remains to do: write a comment.
If all goes well, it’ll be posted in the New found pages thread, a little bit like old time “Circle of Eights” single thread full of unrelated comments, but this time, each one will have a little purple “storyline” tag, that will make it available inside the storyline you selected…
