<div align="center">(http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/callmecapone/Setting%20and%20RP/bwp-ooc-header.jpg)</div><br/>This thread discusses all out-of-character discussion for the group story "Before We Part". It is a modern post-graduation setting zooming in on the three months between high school's conclusion and the different roads traveled at summer's end. Within this thread you will find all planning, plotting, and scheming shared between the different writers.<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Current Timeframe and Events:</span></span></strong><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Friday, June 9</span><br/><br/>Graduation ceremony complete, the many students of Greenfields High School are now celebrating either at the Caulton Residence (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=268588.0[/url) or Old Lady Margaery's Abandoned House (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=268589.0).</div><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Post Headers</span></span></strong></div><br/>All post headers should use the following template to ensure everyone has a consistent, clean, and informative opening to their posts.<br/><br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[b]NAME:[/b] Your Character Name<br/>(Optional)[b]WEARING:[/b] Optional description of what your character is wearing, or a link to their outfit.<br/>[b]DAY:[/b] Day of the Week, Month and Day (ex: Wednesday, June 14)<br/>[b]TIME:[/b] General time of day.

In that spirit, trying to keep track of where scenes begin and end can become a bit of a nightmare. For that reason,<span class="bbc_u">I would like people to put in the extra effort of adding links to the bottom or beginning of posts that have jumped to a new thread.</span>I<em>don't think</em>this will be as common an issue in the context of most of our threads, but nonetheless it should help people follow the exploits of their own characters better, let alone anyone going back and reading for leisure.<br/><br/>So let's say you are transitioning from<strong>Thread A</strong>(say, the mall) and are moving your interaction to<strong>Thread B</strong>(the gym). Copy the link to the last post of your scene in Thread A and then post it beneath your header in bold italics like so:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong><em>...continued from Thread A. (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=268456.0)</em></strong></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Once you are finished the first post of the scene<em>as it continues</em>in Thread B, take the link of the<span class="bbc_u">new post</span>and then edit your<em>prior</em>post in Thread A, including a link at the very bottom of the post like so.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong><em>Continued in Thread B... (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=268456.0)</em></strong></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><span class="bbc_u">I understand this is additional work</span>, but it can be useful in keeping better track of story threads and keep things a bit less confusing when referencing past scenes. If you guys could be sure to keep up with this, I would greatly,<em>greatly</em>appreciate it.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Links to Other Threads</span></span></strong><br/>Residence Parties (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=268588.0)<br/>Outdoor Parties (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=268589.0)<br/>Nights of Passion (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=268903.0)<br/>Confirmed Characters (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=268436.0)<br/>Interest Check (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=268120.0)</div>
