Here we go! Tell us about some background world stuff. Suggested question: Who is an influential person in your story's history and what did they do?

You don't have to limit yourself to that question - you can tell us anything you feel like sharing. And despite the name, you can comment on this any time until the next one goes up (in approximately two weeks)

Tracking stuff & other Q&A

[silvercat17]

I've had a few questions on how to track one's supply and styles usage, etc. Previously I posted the accomplishments checklist I made

So how do y'all track your stuff?

I've got a couple of things. On my wordpress blog, I keep track of what I've done and I'm keeping a tally of my supplies and styles. I also have a spreadsheet that does the same thing (click to see it larger)



I'm sure somebody really good with spreadsheets could set up a report or count of the styes and supplies, but I just use find (ctrl+f) to count the number.

I also thought of a document with the supplies/styles and numbered lists of stories, like

Charcoal

1. “Connection”
2. “Saudade”
3. “Running Late”
4. “Donville’s Morning Prayer”
5. “Foundation”
6. “Techrat’s Nightmare”

which is very easy to set up in any word processor.

And while I have you, what are some other questions you've have or had before? Especially if you think it'd be useful to add the q&a sections on @rainbowlist

For example, I'm going to add 'how many supplies can I use with one piece?' Answer: as many as you can make work. I've seen posts with almost 15
