This area is for the players of St. Joseph's to post their interactive character fiction. While the SJS Narrative is for fiction that has been worked out in advance and plotted, the Interactive area is for posting a setting or concept and inviting others in to play in a open-ended format. As roleplaying in game is not scripted, neither are these interactive pieces. They may be funny or serious, be restricted to two players having a free-form conversation or be open to the entire supergroup to participate (such as a food fight in the lunch room).
Some minor rules:
- SJS fiction must conform to PG13 standards as some of our members are minors. If your story falls too far outside the boundaries of PG13, the Story Marshal may ask you to edit it.
PG13 - Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Rough or persistent violence is absent; sexually-oriented nudity is generally absent; some scenes of drug use may be seen; very limited use of the harsher sexually derived words may be heard.
R - Restricted. Under 17 Requires Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian: Contains a high level of adult content, such as harsh profanity, intense violence, explicit sexual content and extensive drug use. - Stories in this section are considered [ OPEN ] by default. If you wish your thread to be [ CLOSED ], please mark it in the subject line.
- Do not use another person's character, even incidentally, without obtaining their permission first or running the draft of your document by them for approval. NPCs are available to anybody but try to get a sense of their personality before writing them - as necessary contact the NPC creator or Continuity Wrangler if you're unsure.
- Please be aware that while these stories are free form, that does not mean "anything goes". Do not initiate any action towards another character that you do not have prior permission for or that they cannot choose to avoid. RP ambush is not permitted in these threads the same as it is not tolerated in-game. (For example, if a food fight breaks out, you may certainly launch a plate of carrots at somebody, but you cannot write they they are hit. It is up to the other character to choose if they get it in the face, dodge or otherwise avoid the attack.)
