Well, I'll probably move the topic here later, but this thread is basically for those who are new to the fic and would like to participate. There are a couple threads you should read before you participate (Both located in the planning board):
First is the "Explanatory Post". This basically explains the IF format and lays down the basic rules. Note that as the fic grows, the need for some of these rules to be updated may arise, but for now, this is the way they are.
Next is the "Story thus Far" thread, which outlines the basic story coming into the beginning of the fic. From there, anything that happened until the current point in fic story can be read in the Archives board, starting from the thread at the bottom ("Pondering") and moving up.
After that, in order to stay up to date with future events (and to join in on the planning), go to the out-of-character planning board. This has all the discussions related to fic planning.
It's a good idea to read the bios and jutsu of other PCs and NPCs. The Bio and Jutsu boards have all the information you need. If you need a reference for writing a character's biography, try looking at what other people included in their characters' bios.
Take a peek into the past on the Retro/Flashback boards! This is where participants post retroactively - that is, on things that have happened in the past of the fanfiction. This is a good way to learn the story behind characters' past, and establish a more detailed backstory for your own. It's also alot of fun. (Note that while most posting on these boards is being done solo, this doesn't have to be the case!)
Want to see what these characters look like, or post a pic of yours? The fanfic's artwork board is the place to go! Here we post pics we've drawn of our IF characters for all to see.
Please note that there are two villages open for play at the moment: Leaf and Sand. Others will open up as the storyline progresses and player involvment increases.
And most importantly, have fun!
