MOD POST: Pitching ideas, updating jobs, etc.
Hi everyone!
Lately we've been getting an influx of pitches for plots and tie-ins and things. While we LOVE this, please keep in mind that we are not mind readers. We've had a few ideas sent to us that don't really tell us anything about what it is you have in mind with this great idea.
So when pitching us stuff, please fully outline it. For example:
BAD EXAMPLE:
The whole place gets hit with an influx of frogs! It'd be so much fun!
GOOD EXAMPLE:
The construction in town has stirred up some frogs and they descend upon campus like crazy for a couple of days. Some people wonder if this is some sort of apocalypse but mostly there are just FROGS EVERYWHERE and it'll take a couple of days for it to calm down again. Not much goes with it outside of making sure everyone knows that for two days, we have a lot of frogs, but it gives everyone in the ghost hunting plots something to freak out about.
This gives us more to work with and lets us know what your proposed 'end result' is as well as what kind of action the mods need to take for it. We love ideas and want to incorporate them, but are spending a lot of time trying to figure out what people want us to do with the things they send us and what plot(s) the idea goes along with.
Please remember that when you send in any sort of +job, it should be something action-oriented unless we specifically request an information post from you on something. Then, if you have anything in +myjobs that it goes along with, please add it there instead of opening a new one.
Thanks for helping keep our system streamlined! See any of us for questions.
