GST: Processes, Rules, Q & A

Welcome!


Thank you for being a Guest Story Teller on Standing Trials. We've had this system for a long time, but have decided to try and make it more transparent and accessible to all! So, this is what we're doing.

If you don't know what a Guest Story Teller is, or what the basic idea is, please look at the Wiki Page.

What's The Process?

As a GST, we ask that you follow this process.

1. Post in the Roster ~ If you are prepared to act as a GST, then please post in the Roster here. This will be changed once a Cycle and you will need to post each Cycle that you are active.

2. Be clear about what you like to post etc - if you don't "do" magic or combat or romance or ... any particular thing. Please state it in your Roster Post. We ask people to take the "Wanted Ads" roughly in order, but you are more than ok to skip one that is specifically asking for something you don't do. So, it's important to be clear.

3. Check The Wanted Ads ~ The Wanted Ads thread is here - and it gives you a link to the detailed request. Only requests which are linked in this thread must be looked at. Work through them in the order, but skip any that are asking for things you do not want to write about, as clearly stated in your Roster Post. We don't want to be strict about doing the Wanted Ads in order - but we want to make sure that people aren't just modding for others they know. So, try and maintain the order if you can.

4. Check The Character Storybook ~ This is a useful thing to do - even if the player has asked for something specific,

5.Claim the Ad! ~ You do this by posting a reply to the Wanted Add itself.

What happens next?

You then contact the mod, and discuss the thread with them. This doesn't need to be enormously detailed and we're certainly not asking for detailed plans - but the mod is there to support you. Once you're approved by the staff member in question, then you get to posting!

When it's over?

All rewards must be approved by the overseeing mod.
The thread gets reviewed by you - or the overseeing mod.
Please post completed GSTs in (either finished or abandoned) here and a mod will confirm your rewards.
For running and completing a GST Thread, you get 50 Point Bank Points.
Whoever reviews it gets the Point Bank Points appropriate for the review.
For each completed GST you may post an additional "Wanted Add" than the usual 2 active.
