Storybook Section Handbook
Brought to you by your friendly neighborhood pirates.
The Storybook Rules & Resources thread is a great introduction to the world of storybooking, but you might have a few questions that weren't answered by it. This thread is where you can find those answers. We've compiled a list of some common questions and their answers, but don't be afraid to ask more in this thread!
But, before you do ask your questions, check out the Rules & Resources thread and the posts in this one - chances are your question has been asked before!
What are the differences between storybooks, roleplays and DTWH threads?
Storybooks are large, collaborative writing projects. Group size can vary, but there's almost always more than four people involved. The story is told through long posts that alternate between characters. It's common practice to collaborate with people on your posts if their characters play a major role in your post, but it's also just as common to work on posts on your own. Essentially, it's like writing a novel with a group of co-authors.
Roleplays are also large, collaborative writing projects, but they're not as structured. Posts also alternate between characters and tend to be shorter than storybook posts. They can have less planning than storybooks do, but also have the potential to have extensive planning. While storybooks are the realm of original characters, characters in roleplayers typically come from previously made stories.
DTWH (Double-Trouble Writing Huddle) threads are like roleplays on a smaller scale. As the name suggests, they're between two people. The posts tend to be on the smaller side, but they're the same as roleplaying when it comes to varying post lengths. When it comes to writing for other people's characters, the rules vary depending on the writers involved. Some posts may focus specifically on the actions of a single person's character(s), while others may be collaborated on by both people.
