For your education, entertainment, and information

The links and guides assembled in this thread should help you find your way around the section and hopefully cover any questions you may have about roleplaying on these forums, or at least point you in the right direction. If you have a link or guide that you feel could be helpful, feel to contribute, but read the below rules before posting in this thread.

1. You may only post in this thread to
- Submit a guide after it has been approved. For details about the approval process, see rule 2.
- Comment on an existing guide or ask questions concerning it.
- Suggest a topic for further guide writing.

2. If you want to submit a guide or link, PM it to me (Red's Hawt Chibi Pelippers) for inspection first. This to ensure that all materials submitted in this thread are appropriate in content and up to standards. In the case of guides, I will PM you with permission to post the guide in the thread, or the reasons for why it was declined and suggestions for improvement. In the case of links, I will add them to the index below if they meet standards.

3. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. Do not submit another person's writing as your own work. This includes copying large portions off another guide and throwing in a few sentences of your own. Also, in the case of links, make sure that you have permission to share the link in question before submitting it.

4. Stay on topic. Discussion in this thread is kept open for the purpose of discussing the guides and the guides only. All other drabble and mini-modding should be taken elsewhere.
