Talk:Chaos' Story List

Buck said...

Heh. Honestly, Escape and A Kind of Paradise are not that long. They're short stories. If you want long, check out Colony or the unfinished Forgotten Hotel.

Chaos Jaguar replied: You might have a point; 'fairly long' is, of course, fairly subjective, though. ^^

I'm not certain how I want to format the list when it's done, beyond the genral look and feel of Bryan's Pick, but I'm leaning heavily towards including icons or such for the story length. Because things such as 'fairly long' are subjective, I think I'm probably going to base it on word length rather than how long it takes me to read through the story. Thanks for pointing this out!  :)

If you've got any icon requests let me know, I've been rummaging around through WikiMedia Commons for free stuff and have a bunch that I haven't bothered to upload because I didn't have a use for them. :) I judge the length of stories based on their byte count since that can be quickly and easily checked by clicking on the "history" tab.

Cool, another story list. :) Feel free to rip off design elements from mine, and if you want suggestions or tips on how to format stuff just ask. I'm pretty experienced with wiki formatting and templates and such.

Chaos Jaguar replied: Thanks. :) I was hoping you wouldn't mind if I borrowed... err, took... your design.

  I'm likely going to have a lot of questions, especially since I'm new to wiki. Hopefully I'll be able to understand most of the help files, though, and won't have to bug you that often - I have the feeling it could be slightly annoying, lol.

Nah, I'm fine with answering questions. :) If Shifti's help files aren't complete enough, we're running a fairly standard MediaWiki wiki so the help files from meta wiki might also be good to look at. I imported some of the basics here but didn't get too in-depth. Bryan 00:03, 23 February 2008 (EST)

Chaos Jaguar replied: Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you.  ;) And I haven't really tried looking for something yet that wasn't covered, it's the general technicality of it that throws me off. I have that problem a lot, though, so I'm mostly used to it. And thanks for the link, I'll probably end up needing it at some point.  :)
