Welcome to the Stories Forum, if you are here, you are probably interested in one of the following:

1. Reading some really good stories.
2. Engaging in group efforts in the form of Succession Games
3. Participating in an international simulation with one of the many Succession Games
4. Writing a story to hopefully win the story contest.
5. Bringing something fun and new to the forum.

A few notes on the story contest.

If you write a story on these boards, you are eligible to be in the story contest. To nominate yourself, go to the nomination thread at the top of the forum, it's the one that's like Round # Nominations.

Read the story contest rules for the full spiel.

You may see things about the storywriter's union, all that the union is, is a collection of talented writers who have written stories on the forums, participation in, or even, recognition of the union is purely optional, and the Union has no affiliation with the story contest other than the guy who runs the story contest is in the union.
PM me if you have questions about the Union

(let me know if I missed anything, and i will edit this thread)

this would be better if it was combined with the contest rules thread....

Mention that you can also write stories just to write stories.

MarkG: can you retitle the rules thread to be a welcome thread. Then I'll copy this to be on top and say "look at the rules below" instead of "look at the rule thread." I will have a section marked "RULES FOR THE STORY CONTEST" a bit under that, with the rules.
