Welcome to the Universe Story Update Thread. Here is the Story So Far. When you are writing your story, think of this as the place to put a one sentence to one paragraph summary of the imporant things that happened in your chapter or your Storybook post. Once a week or every other week, a Lorekeeper will post an update to the Universe of all the things that happened, with links to the chapters/posts that contained the plot progress. Once a month or so, the thread will be wiped clean as it's added to the Story So Far post.
