What are Categories?

These fields represent how various entries are tied together.

Submission type is either IC or OOC, designating whether your post is an IC ("In Character") post or OOC ("Out of Character") post. Generally, blog entries are IC and forums and event posts are OOC, but you can choose either of these for your entries.

Archive is to notify the Moderators that you'd like to have a post removed from being listed on the front page.  It will still be accessible elsewhere on the site.

Rating is to give a friendly warning for posts that contain mature or explicit content.  Please do make use of this if your post contains images or descriptions that might cause someone problems at work or could be offensive to some.  Generally, the mature rating is for sexually charged posts or posts that contain some detailed descriptions of violence.  The explicit rating is for very detailed descriptions of sexual acts or particularly disturbing scenes of violence.  For the most part, we allow users to rate their own work, but from time to time a Moderator may step in if the user-selected rating doesn't quite match what's in the post.

Players is a list of players involved in your blog. If, for example, your blog includes Pugnose, Elivel and Lorith, you'd list them out here. Please try your best to use the same names people use here for logins, just to keep things organized (in other words, you'd say "Aurelius" instead of "Captain Aurelius").

Storylines is a list of storylines that your entry is related to (typically used for blogs and events). Again, you should try your best to make sure you spell the same storyline the same way, or the software won't realize posts with those storylines entered are related.

Keywords is for any other words you feel are appropriate to the entry which may help users. For example "murder" might be good if you are writing a blog about someone's murder, as might be "crimes."

Criticism is used to notify users if you'd prefer no criticism, would welcome criticism or if you desire criticism of your work.  Users are asked to please respect these ratings.

Media is used to identify anything aside from text that may be in your post, such as a number of images, music or a link to a video.
