Civ3 Stories in the Apolyton Directory?

[MarkG]

the fiction > civ3 stories category has been created!

http://apolyton.net/dir/index.php?t=sub_pages&cat=113

no sub-categories yet

Hmm... What if you force the authors themselves to categorize the stories (at least the newest ones).
It would save time.

Another alternate organization solution:

Three topics, Historical Fiction, Fiction and Alternative History (all self explanitory)\

Each would have subtopics as such:

-Prehistory (4000 B.C.- 2000 B.C.)
-Ancient History (2000-0 A.D.)
-Roman History (0-1000 AD)
-Middle Ages (1000-1500)
-Industrial Rev. (1500-1800)
-Modern Ages (1800-2000)
-The Future (2000-?)

Poetry (Im not aware of any of these either, but if there are none Im sure some may be made in the future

We have 3 poems.

Civ III Poem (by darkcloud: second in a story contest) THE FIRST CIV POEM EVER
and
metaliturtle and Christantine made some as well.

There, I just submitted one story my most recent humorous tale. The Lone Hero... I'll have to look up the older threads now

[MarkG]

i'll probably go with "Humour", "Drama", "Other" as in the smac category

btw, DC, civ is all bout alternate history, isnt it?

[Verto]

I think the categories should be based on time periods, as DC said, excluding poems and the like.

Not exactly Mark.

For example:

Someone could have a historical story based upon the rise of napoleon... It may not really be based on the game, but feature the units, etc.

Someone could also create a "fiction" tale: set in the space age with modified units, etc. Or perhaps just an off beat tale such as Poems, Newsletters, etc.

For the Historical Section, it would be like Historical Fiction, etc. Fiction that could have happened, fairly historical like... Example: Babylonians/Americans in a space race whereas Alt.history would have a plausible explanation... Hammurabi II expanded Babylon mroe in this universe than before, etc.

There's my explanation

-
But mark, it would be nice to have datings for the tales... For example:

Humor->No categories
Drama->With the dating categorises
Other->No categories

So far my stories are the only ones listed in the directory, good work Mark

[Kramerman]

You haven't read the poem, I assume...

*
Submit and you'll have what you want listed.

[Kramerman]

The poem wasnt bad, I guess...
Naw, really it was pretty good. I am not big on poetry, so to get a complament on a poem from me is rare - it must have been the warlike nature of the poem or something that excited me.

[DarkCloud]

I see

-
I understand dislike of poetry, I never read it I don't even read what I write in the realm of poetry but twice

However, it received 2nd in the contest, so it must have been good

Thanks for the compliment
