The return of the weekly plot help thread!

[alison-sky.livejournal.com]

Yes, I know you've all been waiting in eager anticipation for this thread to start up, and now you don't have to wait any longer!

So, for the new kids in the community, here's the basic gist:

This post goes up once a week. In here, you can ask for help on your plots. Each week I start a new post. You can keep asking for help each week, but try to ask for something new each time.

Also, if you want to get help, you also have to give it. Which means that you take time when you can to go through the help "requests" and see if there if anything that jumps out at you that you want to toss a suggestion at.

One of the beauties this community has is the willingness to help each other along in our 50k goal. And here is the place to do it.

And of course, that said, here's the BOO part.

With the thread means that these types of posts are no longer allowed to be individual posts in the community. So if you see one go up, feel free to leave them a comment and point them to the current week's help thread and the rules. I'll catch up with them eventually, but that kind of help (which alot of people are already doing for intro posts) is really appreciated!

So that's it. Feel free to start getting plot brainstorming down before NaNo, and help one another out. :)

1) . . . my ancient history teacher sucked, then. Still, though - knowing the world was round doesn't mean you'd know its exact geography.

2) Point. Still and again - doesn't mean they know about this mysterious land around the world.

4) . . . I . . . have never heard this, but I guess that doesn't mean anything, does it? (The way I've always had it is that Merlin could see the future, but that didn't mean he knew everything.)

Heh--people don't even know the Earth's exact geography now.

Well, you know. They didn't know nearly as much as we do now. I mean, which island was it that wasn't discovered until, like, 1890-something?

Incidentally, your icon = awesome.

With any kind of knowledge, though, it's a matter of interest and opportunity. People don't know geography now unless they care to know it, and medieval serfs didn't even know how to sign their names, let alone how many leagues it was to Rome.

That I do not know, but I'm not surprised there were still discoveries to be made at that point. I don't think everywhere has been explored fully yet.

Thanks :). It's by senditover and there's one for every state and a few countries as well.
