Looking at this second list, it’s clear that the posts that remain popular over time are the ones that are useful resources for roleplayers and writers. Some of these posts are from years ago, and are still being searched for and read, because it remains good advice. If you’ve got some good advice to share, we’d love to receive your article to post it here on our blog, where it’ll be seen by other OngoingWorlds users and writers. You can send your article here.

I’m considering posting a similar article to this about the games being ran on OngoingWorlds, perhaps short summaries of the stories so far, especially what’s happened throughout 2017 – this helps new players decide if they want to join a game, and get up to speed quickly. If you’re interested in writing a short summary (500 words max) of what happened in your game in 2017, submit it here: http://www.ongoingworlds.com/blog/write-for-our-blog/
